Bacterial community composition was significantly correlated with mean annual precipitation in water, but with nitrogen compounds in sediment. The co-occurrence network of water included more keystone species (e.g., CL500-29 marine group, Nocardioides spp., and Bacillus spp.) than the sediment network. These keystone species showed stronger phylogenetic signals than the species in the modular structures. Further, ecological clusters within the networks suggested that there were contrasting environmental vulnerabilities and preferences between water and sediment communities. These findings demonstrated that co-existing water and sediment bacterial communities and ecological clusters were shaped by contrasting environmental factors. This work provides a basis for understanding the importance of bacterial communities in maintaining glacier-fed aquatic ecosystems. Further, the results provide new perspectives for water resource management and water conservation in changing environments.Antimicrobial resistance continues to be a rising global threat to public health. It is well recognized that wastewater treatment plants are reservoirs of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, traditional disinfection techniques are not effective to simultaneously remove ARB and ARGs, and the dynamic analysis of ARB inactivation have also been deficient. In this study, sulfidated nano zerovalent iron (S-nZVI) coupled with persulfate (PS) was applied to simultaneously remove both ARB (E. coli K-12 with RP4 plasmid) and ARGs (extra- and intracellular ARGs). S-nZVI/PS completely inactivated ARB (~7.8-log reduction) within 10 min and degraded all extracellular ARGs (~8.0-log reduction) within 5 min. These efficiencies were significantly higher (decay rate constant, k = 0.138 min-1) than those achieved individually (S-nZVI k = 0.076 min-1; PS k = 0.008 min-1), implying a synergistic effect between S-nZVI and PS against ARB and ARGs. The efficient removal rate of ARB was also supported by confocal microscopy and microfluidics at a single-cell level. The complete inactivation of ARB by S-nZVI/PS was also demonstrated in real drinking water and real wastewater effluent that contained natural organic matter and suspended solids. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/bgb-290.html Regrowth assays showed that the treated ARB was not observed after 72 h or longer incubation, suggesting that ARB was permanently inactivated by radicals such as SO4•- and •OH. The destruction of bacterial cells compromised the removal efficiency of the intracellular ARGs, with only ~4.0-log reduction after 60 min treatment by S-nZVI/PS. Collectively, our results suggest the feasibility of S-nZVI coupled with PS for simultaneous ARB and ARGs removal in real water matrices.Intensified sanitization practices during the recent coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) led to the release of chlorine-based disinfectants in surface water, potentially triggering the formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in the presence of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON). Thus, a comprehensive investigation of DON's spatial distribution and its association with DBP occurrence in the surface water is urgently needed. In this study, a total of 51 water samples were collected from two rivers and four lakes in May 2020 in Wuhan to explore the regional variation of nitrogen (N) species, DON's compositional characteristics, and the three classes of DBP occurrence. In lakes, 53.0% to 86.3% of N existed as DON, with its concentration varying between 0.3-4.0 mg N/L. In contrast, NO3--N was the dominant N species in rivers. Spectral analysis revealed that DON in the lakes contained higher humic and fulvic materials with higher A254, A253/A203, SUVA254, and PIII+IV/PI+II+V ratios, while rivers had higher levels of hydrophilic compounds. Trihalomethanes (THMs) were the most prevalent DBPs in the surface waters, followed by N-nitrosamines and haloacetonitriles (HANs). The levels of N-nitrosamines (23.1-97.4 ng/L) increased significantly after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Excessive DON in the surface waters was responsible for the formation of N-nitrosamines. This study confirmed that the presence of DON in surface water could result in DBP formation, especially N-nitrosamines, when disinfectants were discharged into surface water during the COVID-19 pandemic.Sanitary and stormwater sewers are buried assets that play important roles in the prevention of diseases and the reduction of health risks for our societies. Due to their hidden nature, these assets are not frequently assessed and maintained to optimal conditions. The lack of maintenance can cause sewer blockages and overflows that result in the release of pathogens into the environment. For cities, monitoring sewer conditions on a large-scale can be costly, time-consuming, and labor-intensive if using current low-throughput technologies, such as dye testing or closed-circuit television. Alternatively, smart sensor systems can provide low-cost, high-throughput, and automatic data-driven features for real-time monitoring applications. In this study, we developed ultrahigh-frequency radio-frequency identification (UHF RFID)-based sensors that are flushable and suitable for sanitary and stormwater pipes quick surveys. 3D printed RFID sensors were designed to float at the water-air interface and minimize the water interference to RF signal communications. The optimal detection range was also determined to support the design and installation of the reader in various utility holes. Field trials demonstrated that the UHF RFID system is a low-cost, high-throughput, and robust solution for monitoring blockage, illicit-connection, and water flow in sewer networks.Interfacial solar vapor generation, an efficient, sustainable, and low-cost method for producing clean water, has attracted great interest for application in solar desalination and wastewater treatment. Although recent studies indicated significant enhancement of overall performance by developing photothermal materials and constructing different dimensional systems, stable evaporation performance and long-term operation of the evaporator are hindered by severe scaling issues. In this critical review, we present the latest strategies in reducing salt accumulation on the evaporator for solar desalination and brine treatment. We first demonstrate the consequences of salt accumulation, and then discuss various self-cleaning methods based on bio-inspired concepts and other strategies such as physical cleaning, ion rejection and exchange, fast ion diffusion, and controlled crystallization, etc. Importantly, we discuss and address the rational design of the evaporator via establishing a relationship model between its porosity, thickness, and thermal conductivity.
