Comparison GIS-Based interpolation methods for mapping groundwater quality in the state of Qatar
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)Groundwater (GW) quality deterioration is one of the main water security issues in Qatar. GW in Qatar is over-exploited for agriculture activities that caused saltwater intrusion in the coastal areas and some inland GW. ... -
Comparison of machine learning models for predicting groundwater level, case study: Najafabad region
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2023 , Article)Water resources, consisting of surface water and groundwater, are considered to be among the crucial natural resources in most arid and semiarid regions. Groundwater resources as the sustainable yields can be predicted, ... -
Development and application of bio-waste-derived adsorbents for the removal of boron from groundwater
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)This study investigates the development and application of bio-waste-derived adsorbents for the removal of boron from groundwater. The boron removal from groundwater was explored by bio-waste-derived adsorbents such as ... -
Environmental impacts of using municipal biosolids on soil, plant and groundwater qualities
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of three different rates of municipal biosolids produced in Qatar on plant characteristics and soil texture and its potential impacts on groundwater. Petunia atkinsiana, was ... -
Functionalized cellulose nanocrystals as a novel adsorption material for removal of boron from water
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)This study aims to prepare a novel adsorbent containing cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) isolated from date pits (DP) and ionic liquid (IL). The prepared composite of CNC and IL was then loaded onto the DP to prepare IL-CNC@DP ... -
Functionalized cellulose nanocrystals extracted from date pits as agricultural waste for the efficient remediation of molybdenum from groundwater: Performance and mechanistic studies
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)The adsorption technique has proven to be an excellent option for treating contaminated water. This work was designed to investigate the efficient remediation of molybdenum (Mo(VI)) from groundwater by using a novel adsorbent ... -
Hydrogeochemical characterization and quality evaluation of groundwater suitability for domestic and agricultural uses in the state of Qatar
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)This study aims to investigate the groundwater (GW) quality in Qatar to be utilized in domestic and agricultural uses. The integrated physiochemical analysis along with hydrochemical faces analysis, geochemical modeling, ... -
Impacts of urbanization on the distribution of heavy metals in soils along the Huangpu River, the drinking water source for Shanghai
( Springer Berlin Heidelberg , 2015 , Article)We investigated the horizontal and vertical distribution of heavy metals (Hg, Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, As, Ni, and Cr) in soils in the water source protection zone for Shanghai to study the origins of these metals, their connections ... -
Innovative ad-hoc wireless sensor networks to significantly reduce leakages in underground water infrastructures
( IEEE , 2010 , Conference Paper)This paper presents an ICT solution to overcome the problem of water dispersion in water distribution networks. Leakage prevention and breaks identification in water distribution networks are fundamental for an adequate ... -
Insights into the removal of lithium and molybdenum from groundwater by adsorption onto activated carbon, bentonite, roasted date pits, and modified-roasted date pits
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)This study investigated the removal of lithium (Li) and molybdenum (Mo) from groundwater using activated carbon, bentonite, roasted date pits, and modified-roasted date pits as adsorbents under different experimental ... -
Productivity enhancement of solar still with thermoelectric modules from groundwater to produce potable water: A review
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article Review)Groundwater is recognized as a principal source of water for the drinking, irrigation and many other purposes. Researchers have also used groundwater in the solar distillation to convert it to drinkable water by use of ... -
Removal of Toxic Elements and Microbial Contaminants from Groundwater Using Low-Cost Treatment Options
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2021 , Article)Purpose of Review: This paper reviews various low-cost treatment techniques such as adsorption, permeable reactive barrier, and biological techniques for the simultaneous removal of chemical and microbial contaminants from ... -
Statistical Analysis of the Effect of Water Table Fluctuation and Soil Layering on the Distribution of BTEX on Soil and Groundwater Under Anaerobic Condition
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Crude oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel spills pollute groundwater in many coastal areas. BTEX is a hydrocarbon of concern due to its high-water solubility, which allows it to spread widely in the subsurface environment. The ... -
Synthesis of iron modified rice straw biochar toward arsenic from groundwater
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2019 , Article)The potential of Fe modified biochar (BC) as an alternative, inexpensive adsorbent for removing As(V) from wastewater was investigated. BC was synthesized from the slow pyrolysis of rice straw and then modified with FeCl3. ...
