Summary: This study investigated the quality of the Gomti River water in Lucknow, India and analyzed its sources of pollution. The results suggest that storm water runoff and domestic and industrial wastewater discharge are the major sources of pollution in the river. This study is of great importance for policy makers to ensure sustainable water resource utilization.

Summary: This study evaluated the groundwater quality in Tosham block, Bhiwani District, Haryana, India, and its neighboring villages, finding that most of the samples exceeded the permissible limits for total hardness, iron, and chloride. The water quality index indicated poor to very poor water quality in the majority of samples, with high values mainly due to total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, total hardness, Mg, Cl, and Fe. Treatment of groundwater before use for drinking and other domestic activities is recommended to prevent contamination.

Summary: This study used multivariate statistical methods to analyze the physicochemical parameters of 34 rivers over a 17-year period and divided the study area into different sub-regions based on water quality. The study identified sources of water contamination and classified the dominant water types in each zone. A risk assessment was conducted to evaluate the health risks associated with drinking water, with chloride identified as a potential risk factor. Principal component analysis was used to identify important parameters in water quality.

Summary: This study evaluated the groundwater quality in Huangbizhuang town, an important water source for Shijiazhuang and Beijing, China. The overall water quality was found to be good, suitable for drinking and irrigation. The study compared two weighting methods and found that the principal component analysis weighting method is more objective and suitable for the study area. Multivariate statistical analysis showed that groundwater pollution is caused by both point source and non-point source pollution.

Summary: The vulnerability of drinking water supply systems is influenced by factors such as failures, security loss, man-made threats, and changes in supply-water quality. Monitoring and transparency on water availability and quality are increasingly important. An analysis of water quality monitoring data was conducted using multivariate techniques to identify influential parameters and clusters.

Summary: This study focused on the spatiotemporal trends of water quality in a section of the Bhagirathi-Hugli River, West Bengal, using geospatial technology and integrated statistical methods. The results showed that water quality is significantly influenced by seasonal and anthropogenic factors, leading to a certain degree of pollution, and rural areas have better water quality than industrial and urban areas.

Summary: This study investigates the improvement of the quality and nutritional value of brown rice through solid-state fermentation. The fermentation process significantly increases the content of arabinoxylans, beta-glucan, gamma-oryzanol, phenolic, and flavonoid in brown rice, while reducing the levels of insoluble dietary fiber and phytic acid. The study also identifies the optimal solid-state fermentation process.
