Advanced anti-corrosion solutions for coastal and floating solar in the Philippines The tropical climate of the Philippines, characterized by high humidity and saline environments, requires dedicated anti-corrosion protection systems. ...
At Cairo Water Week (CWW) 2025, held from October 12-16, science, policy and innovation came together to confront one of the Middle East and North Africa’s (MENA) most pressing challenges: water scarcity. This year’s theme - Innovative Solutions for Climate Resilience and Water Sustainability - carried particular weight in the world’s most water-scarce region. Leading ten ...
In the 10th century A.D., when Baghdad’s libraries were lit by candlelight and the books it housed were penned with the ink of philosophers, a peculiar manuscript began its quiet journey through history. The Nabataean Agriculture, attributed to the Nabataean translator Ibn Wahshiyya, is part farming manual, part cosmic scripture and part poetic reverie. It claims to be a translation of a ...
Women and girls in Pakistan are among the most disproportionately affected by climate change — one of the greatest threats facing humanity today. Among the most urgent challenges is the country’s growing water crisis. From droughts and floods to unsafe drinking water and poor sanitation – water insecurity is deepening existing gender inequalities. Between 2000 and 2019, extreme ...

Partnerships emerged as the essence of the 7th edition of the Cairo Water Week (CWW). Amid vibrant exchanges and knowledge sharing, collaboration, co-creation and systems thinking, partnerships emerged as the driving force uniting hundreds of participants. They included policymakers, business leaders, scientists, and community advocates who gathered to confront the urgent challenge of water ...
Across the eastern Mediterranean region, farmers and other water managers are battling the harsh effects of climate change. Whether in the high plateaus of northeast Lebanon, the valleys of the West Bank, near the gurgling springs of Wadi Seer in Jordan, or deep in the low-lying heart of Egypt’s Nile Delta, they must cope with warmer, more extreme weather patterns. While many of their ...
Poor water quality can lead to nutrient deficiencies, soil salinity, contamination by pollutants, and disease outbreaks in plants. ...
Poor water quality can lead to nutrient deficiencies, soil salinity, contamination by pollutants, and disease outbreaks in plants. ...
The primary cause is poor control of these activities, which exceeds the natural attenuation capacity of subsurface soils and strata. Salinization due to over-exploitation of groundwater, especially in coastal areas, is another serious problem, especially for communities that depend on groundwater for drinking water. ...
Desalination plants (DPs) inject brines into the ground, salinising aquifers, or they dilute the saline residue in the local WWTPs, affecting their biological process. The main environmental concerns in this scenario are: increased salinity in soil with negative impact in crops and receiving water bodies, regional impacts on marine benthic ...
Launched in July 2019, the main goal of DSWAP is to develop modular cost- and energy-efficient wastewater treatment systems specifically designed for wastewater reuse in the context of crops irrigation that safeguard public health, environmental and soil quality and long-term agronomic sustainability. This goal encompasses five specific objectives: Optimization and evaluation ...
Marckindy has been a part of the SOIL family since his first internship in 2012, and he’s known of SOIL for even longer through his brother, Job (SOIL’s Composting Manager). ...
Steele thought if there is salt in irrigation water, there might be a buildup of salt in soil. High levels of salt can damage soil microbes and plants. Most research on soil salinity has focused on these situations. ...
Why are soils important? Soils are the basis of life for a large number of plants and animals. ...
Sources of these dissolved solids can include ancient seawater, coastal seawater, dissolution of naturally occurring minerals, leaching from saline soils, road salt, brine from oil and gas wells, or other human activities. ...
The crop is important to farmers as it provides a reasonable yield even on poor soils. The new knowledge about quinoa DNA is already being used by breeders who are developing quinoa varieties which grow well in saline soil and still meet the taste requirements of consumers. ...
The team tested the effects of sterilised and unsterilised wastewater sludge using soil samples from the former Lake Texcoco and agricultural soil from another site. ...
Tomatoes in saline soil Christos Kissoudis studied this issue for tomatoes, researching several tomato lines having different genes for resistance against mildew but otherwise very similar. He placed the plants either in optimal conditions or in saline soil and then tried to infect the plants with the mildew fungus. Kissoudis ...
” Wastewater spills can damage soil and water because of extreme salinity and heavy metals such as arsenic and mercury. ...
