During the last few decades, a critical scarcity of water has occurred in the Middle East due to climate change and the mismanagement of water resources. The situation is complicated by the absence of an effective legislative framework at the local level as well as by the incapability and disrepute of the local water authorities. Most Iraqi citizens depend on the surface waters of the Tigris ...
Radiolysis of water and aqueous solutions refers to the decomposition of water and its solutions under exposure to ionizing radiation, such as γ-rays, X-rays, accelerated particles, or fast neutrons. This exposure leads to the formation of highly reactive species, including free radicals like hydroxyl radicals ( OH), hydrated electrons (e−aq), and hydrogen atoms (H ), as well as molecular ...
The present paper addresses a comprehensive historical assessment of water consumption, demand, and supply in Saudi Arabia, along with future projections regarding water balance, in terms of demand and supply by source in various sectors. Being an arid region, Saudi Arabia experiences scorching heat, low precipitation, a high rate of potential evaporation, and the absence of permanent water ...

Japan is reimagining water infrastructure with tech, transparency, and collaboration to boost resilience amid ageing systems and climate challenges.
Emerging economies incur a disproportionate impact on food-water systems yet are proving innovation can turn constraints into catalysts to meet demands.
Access to freshwater is changing rapidly, with water stress affecting billions of people and countless businesses each year. Droughts and floods are becoming more frequent and severe, water pollution continues to rise and, without urgent action, we will soon reach a tipping point. This report outlines key pathways to strengthen water resilience, through private sector and multi-stakeholder ...
More than 1,000 partners from the private sector, government and civil society are working together through the 2030 Water Resources Group. The group has facilitated close to $1 billion of financing for water-related programmes. This multistakeholder collaboration aims to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all by 2030.
Water, energy and the power mix Power-generation technologies have sharply different water profiles. Choices about the generation mix and where infrastructure is built shape how exposed a country becomes to water-related issues that can limit operations, slow approvals, and worsen climate-driven water stress.
The water-energy nexus: why managing water stress is the key to the ...
