The Oakton Benchtop device was used to measure physicochemical parameters, including pH, temperature, total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity. Uranium concentration in water samples ranged from 0.5 ± 0.1 to 96.1 ± 0.7 µg/L, with a mean value of 23.5 ± 27.7 µg/L; with 16 % of the water samples exceeding the provisional guideline value (30 µg/L) provided by the World Health Organization. Comparative analysis reveals that hand-pumped water showed a higher average (40.3 µg/L) than tap and spring water sources. Nevertheless, all samples remain below the radiological-based limit set by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board. Radiological risks were evaluated by calculating annual effective doses and excess cancer risk. Results indicated that estimated annual effective ingestion doses for different age groups and genders were comparatively higher in males. Further, chemical risks were quantified by estimating the lifetime average daily dose and health quotient. The average excess cancer risk was found to be 3.23 × 10^-5, with lifetime average daily dose ranging from 0.003 to 2.75 µg/kg/day, averaging 0.66 µg/kg/day. The investigation found no significant chemical toxicity from uranium in water, as the computed health quotient was below 1. A strong correlation was observed between uranium and total dissolved solids, with a Pearson's <i>r</i> value of 0.82. Statistical model, including ANOVA, indicates that the rock/soil types of the study area contribute to the uranium distribution over the region. Further, cluster analysis was also performed on the obtained data.

In this study, we examined RWU patterns of three urban endemic species: boxelder maple (<i>Acer negundo)</i>, cherry laurel (<i>Prunus caroliniana</i>), and elderberry <i>(Sambucus canadensis)</i>, within a humid, subtropical environment of north-central Texas (USA). Mobile water was extracted from stems, roots, and soils using centrifugation, and analyzed for δ¹⁸O, δ²H, and <i>d</i>-excess. Seasonal precipitation variability was evident across all species, with higher total water content and mobile extractable water in spring and reduced extracted values during summer months. Isotopic values within roots and stems were strongly modulated by seasonal hydroclimatic conditions, particularly (a) larger precipitation inputs and soil moisture availability during the spring season and (b) higher evaporative demand during summer and early fall. Across all species, precipitation inputs during the spring growing season promoted relatively small δ¹⁸O offsets (±1 ‰) between throughfall, soils, roots, and stems, suggesting a strong connectivity between meteoric inputs, soil moisture availability, and RWU. During summer and early fall, evapoconcentration resulted in higher δ¹⁸O offsets between throughfall, roots, and stems. In winter, deciduous species (boxelder maple and elderberry) showed larger δ¹⁸O offsets between throughfall, roots, and stems. This indicates the existence of a 'legacy-type effect' (i.e. older water stored) from the summer season. Longitudinal analysis also revealed δ¹⁸O and <i>d</i>-excess heterogeneity along the root system.
