The running water method (RWM) involves continuously running cold water over frozen food and is described as a safe and quicker alternative to thawing in a refrigerator. This thawing method appears to be commonly used in food processing and food service settings, but it has received little attention from food supply chain and/or sustainability researchers. A recirculating faucet device that mimics RWM is available in the U.S. We conducted eight thawing trials with two food types, ground beef (2.27 kg) and a seafood mix (0.91 kg), to compare thawing time and use of water and energy. The thaw methods were: RWM with food placed directly in a sink (unsubmerged), RWM in a container (submerged), a recirculating faucet with submerged food, and a refrigerator. Thawing in a refrigerator took 2-3 days, and the other methods took 74 to 198 minutes. The recirculating faucet used about 9 liters of water for each thaw trial, and RWM used 709 to 1466 liters. Estimated energy use by the recirculating faucet was higher but comparable to refrigerator thawing. In all trials, tap water was warmer than 21°C (the maximum water temperature for RWM in U.S. food safety regulations), but the recirculating water cooled to less than 21°C during thawing with the faucet device. Climate change is warming some water sources, and research is needed on implications for food safety and food thawing guidelines.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":"34 ","pages":"Article 100310"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144632686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study develops a methodology for estimating environmental liabilities in aquatic systems, focusing on Segovia, Colombia (2010–2017). Using historical data (2010–2017), recent monitoring (2021–2023), and modelling tools (HEC-RAS and WASP), water and sediment quality indices were applied to quantify impacts, emphasizing heavy metals and cyanide. The methodology integrated diverse indices to evaluate contamination levels, including the Aquatic Toxicity Index (ATI) for water quality and the Pollutant Load Index (PLI) for sediments. Results revealed increased contaminant concentrations downstream, such as lead (0.4 mg/L) and suspended solids (61 mg/L), exceeding regulatory limits. While local pressures like domestic and illegal mining discharges complicate the pollution scenario, the findings confirm significant environmental liabilities from untreated discharges, impacting ecosystem services and community health. The study demonstrates that, despite pre-existing contamination, mining activities notably degrade water and sediment quality. It highlights critical deposition zones where contaminants accumulate, serving as focal points for remediation. The developed methodology offers a replicable framework, integrating past and current data, modelling, and tailored indices to assess aquatic liabilities effectively. This research provides actionable insights for mitigating mining pollution and restoring affected ecosystems. Bridging gaps in environmental liability quantification supports informed decision-making for environmental management and policy development in mining-impacted regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":"34 ","pages":"Article 100307"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144581216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Wilcoxon test revealed no statistically significant differences between individual concentrations in the two SCs.

BPA concentrations peaked at 7.753 μg/L (SP6, SC2), exceeding the EU's predicted no-effect concentration for freshwater (1.5 μg/L) in six instances across the KNP samples. These findings highlight the importance of targeted monitoring and management strategies in protected areas, which align with the EU Water Framework Directive objectives.
