Scientists at the Water Research Center (WRC) have released a landmark study revealing dangerously elevated levels of microplastic contamination in urban freshwater systems across major metropolitan areas. The two-year investigation, which analyzed water samples from over 120 collection points spanning rivers, reservoirs, and groundwater wells, found that microplastic concentrations in densely populated urban zones exceed […]
A comprehensive new study published by the Water Research Center has sounded the alarm over accelerating groundwater depletion across semi-arid and tropical regions, attributing the trend to a complex interplay of climate-driven hydrological shifts and unsustainable extraction practices. The decade-long research effort, which analyzed hydrometeorological records dating back to 1985 alongside isotopic groundwater tracing data […]
In a significant scientific breakthrough, researchers at the Water Research Center have successfully demonstrated that an advanced electrochemical oxidation system can eliminate up to 99 percent of pharmaceutical contaminants from wastewater under controlled laboratory conditions. The technology, developed over three years of intensive bench-scale experimentation, applies a combination of electro-Fenton oxidation and high-performance boron-doped diamond […]
The Water Research Center has formally launched a groundbreaking collaborative research initiative that brings together indigenous community leaders, traditional knowledge holders, and hydrological scientists to develop a new integrated model for river basin monitoring and governance. The program, titled Listening to the River, was officially inaugurated last week during a ceremony held at the banks […]
