The sun’s energy can be exploited using a variety of technologies, including (a) photovoltaic (PV)/concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) systems that convert photons to electricity; and (b) solar thermal technologies that capture thermal energy from the sun’s radiation using solar collectors or concentrated solar power systems (CSP). Due to the quest for power supply from renewable, cheap, and non-gaseous emission sources coupled with the attempts to combat the shortage of potable water in rural areas, much research on the interface of solar energy power systems with water treatment plants has been reported. However, the greater part of the existing reports are based on theoretical modelling, with only minimal experimental, cost analysis, pilot projects and strategic studies. Also, even though solar-powered water treatment technologies are still in the early stages of research, and very rare studies based on real plants have been conducted, existing publications are mostly focused on single principles, making it impossible to assess and compare several technologies. Globally, this review has particularly highlighted the recent advances in the application of solar energy technologies in desalination and wastewater treatments. It likewise highlighted the key research findings and the critical gaps in the existing achievements. It further highlighted the attempts made on hybrid techniques with other renewable energy sources such as wind and geothermal energies which are paramount for scaling up and commercialization uses. However, the findings revealed that most of these studies were restricted to particular parts of the globe without candid evidence from the African perspective, especially Sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, due to the paucity of information concerning this topic within the region, there is a need for further studies on the application of solar energy for water treatment, especially on a pilot scale level for sustainable development.\u0000\u0000PRZEGLĄD ZASTOSOWAŃ ENERGII SŁONECZNEJ DO OCZYSZCZANIA ŚCIEKÓW; PERSPEKTYWA GLOBALNA I AFRYKAŃSKA\u0000\u0000Energia pochodząca z promieniowania słońca może być eksploatowana przy użyciu różnorodnych technologii, w tym (a) fotowoltaiki (PV)/skoncentrowanej fotowoltaiki (CPV), systemów, które przekształcają fotony w energię elektryczną; i (b) słoneczne technologie cieplne, które wychwytują energię cieplną z promieniowania słonecznego przy pomocy kolektorów słonecznych lub skoncentrowanych systemów energii słonecznej (CSP).

It relates to various hazards, including post-mining seismicity and deformations of ground surface. The above issues are the subject of the research project under which the monitoring of ground surface movements is carried out in the area of the closed coal mine “Kazimierz-Juliusz”, which is currently being flooded. The monitoring is carried out using the GNSS technique and satellite radar interferometry (InSAR). The project makes use of radar data from the Copernicus project, which is being implemented by the European Commission in cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA). InSAR monitoring started in December 2020. Additionally, we analyzed the impact on ground surface of 5 rock tremors of the energy not exceeding 6.5E + 05 J (tremor magnitude Mw = 2.1), which were reported in the investigated area in 2018–2020. The article presents the results of qualitative analysis involving the relationship between seismic activity and vertical movements of ground surface. To investigate potential changes in altitude, DInSAR technology was applied. On the basis of interferometric images generated from radarograms in the periods before and after the tremor, in January 2019, it was found that vertical movements of ground surface were possible to occur. Altitude changes can be characterized with the values in the range of single millimeters, which are only slightly beyond the accuracy range of the InSAR method. The analysis of interferograms, comprising wider time databases, indicated that the impact of the tremor on the deformations of ground surface is incidental.\u0000\u0000ZWIĄZKI JAKOŚCIOWE AKTYWNOŚCI SEJSMICZNEJ Z PRZEMIESZCZENIAMI PIONOWYMI TERENU PO ZAMKNIĘCIU KOPALNI Z WYKORZYSTANIEM TECHNOLOGII DInSAR\u0000\u0000Proces likwidacji kopalń jest bardzo złożony i długotrwały.
