Therefore, expanding access to irrigation can potentially improve the WASH environment leading to health and nutrition benefits. This study examines the linkages between irrigation, use of irrigation water sources for multiple purposes, and WASH and health outcomes. We find that irrigation is associated with better household access to water and improved sanitation facilities. This relationship is driven by households that use groundwater for both irrigation and domestic purposes. Moreover, our results show that hygiene practices and health outcomes are not influenced by irrigation or multiple uses of the same water source. To strengthen hygiene behavior, behavioral change communication will be important. For small-scale irrigation to effectively support WASH and, thus, to strengthen nutrition and health outcomes, systems would need to be co-designed by irrigation and health specialists.","PeriodicalId":17436,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water and health","volume":"23 11","pages":"1341-1354"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145634501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study assessed the impact of two monochloramine dosages on biofilm growth and monochloramine decay in model distribution systems (MDSs), with/without orthophosphate, at a 10-day residence time. Four bench-scale MDSs were run for 15 weeks: two tested a low monochloramine dose (2 mg Cl2/L), with or without orthophosphate, and two a higher dose (3 mg Cl2/L), with and without orthophosphate. The feedwater was phosphorus-limited, which may have amplified microbial response to orthophosphate addition. At both monochloramine dosages tested, orthophosphate addition increased viable cell count, biofilm reformation potential, and metabolic activity, while biofilm genetic diversity was influenced by both orthophosphate and monochloramine dose. Communities subjected to high monochloramine without orthophosphate were the least diverse, whereas those exposed to low monochloramine with orthophosphate showed the greatest diversity. These findings suggest that high monochloramine exerts selective pressure, reducing diversity, while orthophosphate enhances it. First-order total chlorine decay coefficients were higher in MDSs with lower monochloramine doses, and at the same dose, MDSs with orthophosphate showed slightly higher monochloramine decay than those without orthophosphate.","PeriodicalId":17436,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water and health","volume":"23 11","pages":"1381-1396"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145634517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research suggests that water quality issues in homes served by these systems are common, but limited efforts to link these issues to user sociodemographics render the design of interventions difficult. The work aims to link user demographics to the presence of in-home treatment for homes on private water supplies in Virginia. Between 2020 and 2024, water quality samples and paired surveys detailing user demographics were collected from six southwest Virginia counties. The most common contaminants observed, according to municipal health-based standards, were lead, copper, Escherichia coli, and coliform. Other common contaminants associated with water aesthetics and municipal guidance levels were aluminum, sodium, pH, iron, and manganese. Thirty-five percent of homes had no treatment device prior to consumption, while 43% only used aesthetic-based treatment devices. Forty-four percent of households with income <$52,000 indicated no treatment devices present, and 47% of homes with some or graduated high school education reported no treatment. Results support the hypothesis that households with lesser educational attainment and lower income are less likely to have access to treatment, which limits the system's ability to remove contaminants.","PeriodicalId":17436,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water and health","volume":"23 10","pages":"1215-1223"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145422053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We interviewed small water supply operators and authorities in each country, followed up by government-level queries on guidelines and legislation. We found that small water supplies have experienced consequential incidents associated with a changing climate. Heavy rains, drought, changes in cold climate hydrology, and landslides were most frequently mentioned. Many of the supplies, however, had not experienced any effects, possibly because groundwater is the main water source for small water supplies in the region. Importantly, the effects of a changing climate were scarcely discussed, and CC receives limited or no attention in governmental guidelines. However, in Norway, the CC preparedness was analysed on a municipal level, and Finland and Sweden have tools for CC preparedness, but separately from the RBA. Small suppliers are concerned about over-burdening with multiple guidelines, frameworks, and tools. Therefore, we conclude that CC would be best addressed through integration into RBA and water safety planning regulation and implementation.","PeriodicalId":17436,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water and health","volume":"23 10","pages":"1286-1298"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145422083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of chlorine-active compounds remains the most effective for this purpose, but traditional preparations such as sodium hypochlorite pose a number of environmental risks. This paper describes the processes of treating model microbiologically contaminated solutions with granular styrene-divinylbenzene polymers with immobilized N-chlorosulfonamide groups. In this case, chlorine is released from the polymer surface into the solution due to chlorination of the amine components of the microbial cell. The amount of chlorine released is proportional to the degree of microbial contamination. The main factors influencing the disinfection rate and the characteristics of the chlorine emission process are the intensity of stirring, the type and concentration of the microorganism, and the surface area of the polymer. The treatment is effective against individual Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including multi-resistant ones, fungi, and multi-culture natural media. The use of this method for water disinfection potentially allows avoiding chlorine overdose, minimizing the formation of toxic chlorine-containing by-products, and ensuring long-term protection of water from re-contamination during storage.","PeriodicalId":17436,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water and health","volume":"23 10","pages":"1240-1254"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145422100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
