Nitrogen and phosphorous are indispensable for growth and vitality of living beings, hence
termed as nutrients. However, discharge of nutrient rich waste streams to aquatic …

Cities play a prominent role in our economic development as more than 80% of the gross
world product (GWP) comes from cities. Only 600 urban areas with just 20% of the world …

Water shortage is one of the leading global problems along with the depletion of energy
resources and environmental deterioration. Recent industrialization, global mobility, and …

Abstract This global spatially explicit (0.5 by 0.5 degree) analysis presents the nitrogen (N)
and phosphorus (P) inputs, processing and biogeochemical retention and delivery to …

We estimate the global anthropogenic phosphorus (P) loads to freshwater and the
associated grey water footprints (GWFs) for the period 2002–2010, at a spatial resolution of …

Most of the global population will live in urban areas in the 21st century. We study impacts of
urbanization on future river pollution taking a multi-pollutant approach. We quantify …

Landscape changes resulting from anthropogenic activities and climate changes severely
impact surface water quality. A global perspective on understanding their relationship is a …

Large-scale and rapid improvement in wastewater treatment is common practice in
developing countries, yet this influence on nutrient regimes in receiving waterbodies is …

Coastal marine ecosystems face a host of pressures from both offshore and land-based
human activity. Research on terrestrial threats to coastal ecosystems has primarily focused …

This is the first global assessment of nitrogen-related water pollution in river basins with a
specification of the pollution by economic sector, and by crop for the agricultural sector. At a …
