For reporting against SDGs, global indicators are necessarily limited and exclude many safety aspects from a public health perspective. Primary survey data from 31,784 households in seven countries in Asia and Africa were analysed, comparing estimates of safely managed on-site sanitation based on global indicators with five complementary indicators of safety: animal access to excreta, groundwater contamination, overdue emptying, entering containments to empty and inadequate protection during emptying. Application of additional criteria reduced the population with safely managed sanitation by 0.4–35% for specific indicators, with the largest impact due to the risk of groundwater contamination, animal access, and containments overdue for emptying. Combining these indicators across the service chain, excluding transport and treatment, found almost three-quarters of on-site systems currently assessed as safely managed with global indicators were considered unsafe based on complementary indicators. A more comprehensive assessment of safety of on-site sanitation can be achieved through these indicators, which could be integrated into national monitoring systems and used to inform sanitation investments that address local health-related risks.","PeriodicalId":19375,"journal":{"name":"npj Clean Water","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41545-024-00353-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141553384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In rural Mali, we explore the implications of monthly flat fee contributions and volumetric (pay-as-you-fetch) payments for water use and revenue generation. By assessing 4413 months of data across 177 handpumps, we find that once payment modalities switch from volumetric payments to monthly flat fees, a waterpoint registers a more than three-times higher monthly revenue. While flat fees cover a higher share of the operational costs of providing reliable water services, a subsidy gap persists. Flat fees appear to stimulate daily water use which more than doubles compared to volumetric payments. We estimate that a 1 °C increase in average monthly temperature is associated with 180 more litres of water used every day per handpump, emphasising the importance of climate-resilient water supplies. Based on these insights, we discuss the role of professional service delivery models to support reliable drinking water services for rural communities.","PeriodicalId":19375,"journal":{"name":"npj Clean Water","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41545-024-00341-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141521621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Limited data on population-level prevalence, including seasonal and temporal variations, hampers accurate risk assessment for AMR transmission, despite its paramount importance on both global and national fronts. In this study, we used quantitative real-time PCR (q-PCR) to analyze 123 antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and 13 mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in wastewater of a selected urban community. Sampling was conducted monthly over a 5-month period (December 2021–April 2022) to assess resistance diversity, temporal dynamics, co-abundance of ARGs, MGEs, and resistance mechanisms. Approximately 50% of the tested ARG subtypes were consistently detected in all months, with frequency ranging from 52 to 61% with maximum absolute abundance in the winter months (December and January). In co-abundance analysis, specific genes were clustered into modules, highlighting shared distribution patterns and functional associations among the ARGs and MGEs. Detected clinically significant genes (ndm-1 and cfiA) and other variants (blaoxy, aph, aacC, tet-35, tet M, tet-32) are capable of imparting resistance to 3rd and 4th generation (gen) β-lactam, aminoglycoside, tetracycline, and multidrug classes. These contribute significantly to core/persistent resistance. This study deepens our comprehension of temporal/seasonal fluctuations in ARG and MGE distribution, providing valuable evidence to guide AMR control policies and promote responsible antibiotic/antimicrobial use for preserving effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":19375,"journal":{"name":"npj Clean Water","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41545-024-00349-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141496048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the potential of using static magnetic field (SMF) to improve DNRA process was explored from the sight of molecular biology. Functional genes, microbial community structure, and metabolism pathways were discussed. SMF of 40 mT shortened the start-up time of DNRA from 75 days to 41 days, while 80 mT SMF delayed it to 103 days. On day 80, DNRA potential rate under 40 mT SMF, reached 174 ± 11 μmol kg−1 h−1, significantly surpassing 0 mT (88 ± 6 μmol kg−1 h−1) and 80 mT SMF (52 ± 4 μmol kg−1 h−1). SMF of 40 mT also accelerated community succession and the enrichment of functional bacteria like Geobacter (from 15.71% to 32.11%). qPCR results suggested that 40 mT SMF promoted the rapid enrichment of DNRA functional gene nrfA and 80 mT SMF promoted the enrichment of nirS gene on day 40. Dynamic responses of Thauera sp. RT1901, Stutzerimonas stutzeri, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, and Shewanella loihica PV-4 to SMF at transcriptional levels confirmed SMF could improve the nitrogen removal and electron transfer of DNRA and denitrification bacteria. Consequently, this work validated the possibility of using SMF to improve DNRA process for ammonia recovery and investigated the underlying mechanisms, which could promote the application of DNRA in full-scale.","PeriodicalId":19375,"journal":{"name":"npj Clean Water","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41545-024-00352-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141489639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Monitoring the structure of microbial communities of drinking water is challenging because of limited continuous access to faucets, pipes, and storage tanks. We propose a scalable household sampling method, which uses spent activated carbon and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane point-of-use (POU) filters to evaluate mid- to long-term occurrence of microorganisms in PP systems that are relevant to consumer exposure. As a proof of concept, POU filter microbiomes were collected from four different locations and analyzed with 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The analyses revealed distinct microbial communities, with occasional detection of potential pathogens. The findings highlight the importance of local, and if possible, continuous monitoring within and across distribution systems. The continuous operation of POU filters offers an advantage in capturing species that may be missed by instantaneous sampling methods. We suggest that water utilities, public institutions, and regulatory agencies take advantage of end-of-life POU filters for microbial monitoring. This approach can be easily implemented to ensure drinking water safety, especially from microbes of emerging concerns; e.g., pathogenic Legionella and Mycobacterium species.","PeriodicalId":19375,"journal":{"name":"npj Clean Water","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41545-024-00346-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141489605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have emerged as real-time biosensors for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in urban wastewater. Discrepancies in signal generation may arise due to changes in the composition and metabolism of mixed-culture electroactive biofilms stemming from different wastewater compositions. In this study, 3D-printed MFC-based biosensors were employed to assess the BOD of sterile complex artificial wastewater and untreated urban wastewater. Alterations in the microbial composition of the anode were evaluated using 16S rRNA sequencing and metagenomics analysis. Results show that MFC-based biosensors can be effectively recalibrated for diverse types of wastewater, maintaining consistent sensitivity (0.64 ± 0.10 mA L mg−1 m−2 with synthetic wastewater and 0.78 ± 0.13 mA L mg−1 m−2 with urban wastewater) and limit of detection (49 ± 8 mg L−1 for synthetic wastewater and 44 ± 7 mg L−1 for urban wastewater). Crucially, pre-sterilization, conductivity adjustments, and nitrogen purging of wastewater are not required before its introduction into the biosensor. However, the presence of native aerobic microorganisms in the wastewater might affect the current output. Metagenomics and taxonomic analyses revealed that the alterations in biofilm composition are predominantly in response to the varied chemical and microbiological compositions of different substrates. Despite variations in anodic biofilm composition, the MFC-based biosensor maintains a relative error comparable to the standard BOD test. This highlights the resilience and flexibility of the biosensor when directly used with a variety of wastewater types before full biofilm adjustment.","PeriodicalId":19375,"journal":{"name":"npj Clean Water","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41545-024-00350-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141462559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this review, microbial strategies for concentrating, utilizing, and metabolizing of low concentration substrates were summarized. Microorganisms develop substrate-concentrating strategies at both the cell and aggregate levels in substrate-limited settings. Following, microbial uptake and transport of low-concentration substrates are facilitated by adjusting physiological characteristics and shifting substrate affinities. Finally, metabolic pathways, such as mixed-substrate utilization, syntrophic metabolism, dynamic response to nutrient variation, and population density-based mechanisms allow microorganisms to efficiently utilize low-concentration substrates and to adapt to challenging oligotrophic environments. All these microbial strategies will underpin devising new approaches to tackle environmental challenges and drive the sustainability of water ecosystems, particularly in managing low-concentration contaminants (i.e., micropollutants).","PeriodicalId":19375,"journal":{"name":"npj Clean Water","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41545-024-00348-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141452747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, two notable challenges hinder the practical application of this technology: membrane wetting and fouling. To counter these challenges, an innovative anti-fouling Janus membrane with asymmetric wettability was developed through electrospinning. The hydrophobic layer was formed using tetraethyl orthosilicate/polysulfone (PSF), and the superhydrophilic layer was created using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/PSF. A sensitive adhesion probe was used to assess the anti-fouling performance of the Janus membrane against oil. Molecular dynamics simulation suggested that PVP reduced the adsorption tendency of the membrane for humic acid (HA). Under experimental conditions involving saline water with HA and a saline oil–water emulsion, the non-Janus membrane suffered severe fouling, resulting in rapid water permeate flux decline. However, the Janus membrane demonstrated consistent permeate flux (26.84 LMH and 24.92 LMH) and an impressive salt rejection rate (> 99.99%). This study suggests that the Janus membrane, with its high permeate fluxes and remarkable resistance to fouling and wetting, could be an effective solution for wastewater treatment, with considerable potential for future application.","PeriodicalId":19375,"journal":{"name":"npj Clean Water","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41545-024-00342-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141448071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
