Understanding these impacts is important because groundwater provides much of the world's potable water, and reduced quality is a potential public health risk. In this study, we monitored six shallow groundwater wells and three surface water bodies in the North Ostrobothnia region of Finland twice monthly for 12 months (October 2021–October 2022) via (i) on-site and off-site measurements of physicochemical water quality parameters, (ii) determination of stable water isotope compositions, and (iii) analysis of microbial communities (via amplicon sequencing of the V3–V4 16S rRNA gene sub-regions). Water from one well showed clear overall physicochemical and isotopic similarity with a nearby pond, as well as temporal fluctuations in water temperature and isotopes that mirrored those of the pond. Isotope mixing analyses suggested that about 80–95% of the well water comes from the pond. Such large-scale intrusion might be expected to reduce prokaryotic diversity and composition in the aquifer, either by strong influx of surface water taxa or changes to aquifer physicochemistry. Compared to the pond, however, prokaryotic communities from the well showed significantly higher alpha diversity and a composition more similar to a nearby well unaffected by intrusion. The finding that physicochemical and isotopic similarity between well water and intruding surface water is not synonymous with similarity in prokaryotic diversity and community composition makes clear the need for a multi-method approach when studying the impact of surface water intrusion on shallow wells.","PeriodicalId":443,"journal":{"name":"Water Research","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

However, the dynamics of groundwater discharge in reservoirs and their impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) production and emission under different conditions remain unclear. This study focuses on a reservoir in southeastern China, where we conducted seasonal field observations alongside microcosm incubation experiments to elucidate the relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and groundwater discharge. Based on the radon (<sup>222</sup>Rn) mass balance model, groundwater discharge rates were estimated to be 2.14 ± 0.49 cm d<sup>−1</sup> in autumn, 4.04 ± 2.09 cm d<sup>−1</sup> in winter, 2.55 ± 1.32 cm d<sup>−1</sup> in spring, and 2.61 ± 1.93 cm d<sup>−1</sup> in summer. Groundwater discharge contributes on average to 31.23% of CH<sub>4</sub>, 35.65% of CO<sub>2</sub>, and 11.26% of N<sub>2</sub>O emissions across all seasons in the reservoir. Groundwater primarily influences GHG emissions by directly inputting carbon and nitrogen, as well as by altering aquatic chemical conditions and the environment of dissolved organic matter (DOM), exerting significant effects particularly during spring and autumn seasons. Especially, in winter, higher groundwater discharge rates influence microbial activity and environmental conditions in the water body, including the C/N ratio, which somewhat reduces its enhancement of greenhouse gas emissions. This study provides an in-depth exploration of greenhouse gas emissions from reservoirs and examines the impact of groundwater on these emissions, aiming to reduce uncertainties in understanding greenhouse gas emission mechanisms and carbon and nitrogen cycling.","PeriodicalId":443,"journal":{"name":"Water Research","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

These cyanobacteria exhibit resilience to cold and dark conditions during winter and flourish as temperature rise in warmer seasons. However, there is a limited understanding of the dynamic growth recovery process and regulatory signaling mechanisms in cyanobacteria after overwintering. In this study, we employed <em>Microcystis aeruginosa</em> (<em>M. aeruginosa</em>) as a model to simulate its growth recovery when subjected to increasing temperature after overwintering under low temperature (4 °C) and dark conditions. We investigated changes in cell growth, microcystin levels, and signaling pathways throughout this recovery phase. Our results indicated that compared to the non-overwintering treatment (T1), the overwintered treatment (T2) experienced a 55.6% decrease in algae density and a significant reduction in microcystin-LR (MC-LR) levels within the 15-20 °C temperature range (<em>p</em> < 0.05). Overwintering suppressed photosynthetic efficiency during the recovery phase of <em>M. aeruginosa</em>, activated the antioxidant system, and impaired cellular ultrastructure, making algal cells more vulnerable to death. At the transcriptional level, overwintering down-regulated pathways such as photosynthesis, ribosome, the Calvin cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, hindering the growth and metabolic capacity of <em>M. aeruginosa</em>. In conclusion, this study highlights the inhibitory impacts of overwintering on growth and metabolism of cyanobacteria during the recovery process. It provides insights into the mechanistic foundations of seasonal cyanobacterial blooms and the crucial role of signaling regulation in these processes.","PeriodicalId":443,"journal":{"name":"Water Research","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142645838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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 systematically reveals geographical GHG emission patterns from inland waterbodies and GHG impact mechanisms from regional waterbodies. Special emphasis is also paid to compounded environmental impact changes on GHG emissions under water level regulations. Additionally, we explore how increases in primary productivity can convert aquatic ecosystems from CO<sub>2</sub> sources to CO<sub>2</sub> sinks. However, GHG formation and emissions under ecological reservoir water level fluctuations in flood-ebb zones, intertidal tidal zones, wetlands, and lacustrine systems remain uncertain compared with those under natural hydrological conditions. Therefore, mechanisms that control GHG exchange and production processes under water level changes must first be determined, especially regarding post flood hydrological-based drying effects on GHG flux at the water-air interface. Finally, we recommend instituting environmental management and water-level control measures to reduce GHG emissions, which are favorable for minimizing GHG flux while protecting ecosystem functions and biodiversity.","PeriodicalId":443,"journal":{"name":"Water Research","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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 photochemistry of MPs-DOM, essential for understanding its environmental fate and impacts, remains largely unexplored. This study investigates the photochemical behaviors of MPs-DOM derived from two common plastics: polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which represent aromatic and aliphatic plastics, respectively. Spectral and high-resolution mass spectrometry analyses demonstrated that photoreactions preferentially targeted poly-aromatic compounds within the MPs-DOM, leading to degradation products that predominantly form N-aliphatic/lipid-like substances. This transformation is characterized by decreased aromaticity and unsaturation. Additionally, irradiation of MPs-DOM generated reactive species (RS), including triplet intermediates (<sup>3</sup>DOM*) and singlet oxygen (<sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub>), with apparent quantum yields of 0.06–0.16% and 0.16–0.35%, respectively—values considerably lower than those for conventional DOM (1.19–1.56% for <sup>3</sup>DOM* and 1.34–1.90% for <sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub>). Despite this, the RS generated from MPs-DOM significantly enhance the degradation of coexisting organic pollutants, such as antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The findings shed light on the photoinduced transformation of MPs-DOM and suggest that MPs-DOM functions as a natural photocatalyst, mediating redox reactions of pollutants in sunlit aquatic settings. This highlights its previously underestimated role in natural attenuation and aquatic photochemistry.","PeriodicalId":443,"journal":{"name":"Water Research","volume":"112 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

However, exploration of emerging contaminants pollution in groundwater and assessment of human health and ecological risks caused by large-scale agricultural activities have been relatively scarce. This study collected groundwater samples from typical agricultural areas in Northeast China to investigate the extent of contamination by nitrate, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), and then compared the levels of these pollutants with those in other regions of China. Groundwater nitrate pollution caused by strong agricultural activity is widespread in Northeast China, with nitrate-nitrogen (NO<sub>3</sub>-N) concentrations exceeding 10 mg/L in as many as 40.3% of 429 samples. 8 types of PFASs (3.7-7.1 ng/L) and 11 types of EDCs (18114.0-62029.8 ng/L) were detected in the collected groundwater samples. Using the Risk Quotient (RQ) method, this study assessed ecological risk and found that the risk level of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was higher than that of other PFASs. The groundwater EDCs risks in Northeast China was higher compared to other regions in China, with dibutyl phthalate (DBP), Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Bisphenol A (BPA) having high ecological risk levels. Nitrate, PFASs and EDCs have been detected in deep groundwater (70-100 m depth), indicating that the deeper aquifers could be significantly threatened by pollutants due to human activities. Fertilizers, pesticides, domestic wastewater, and industrial discharges are major sources of groundwater pollutants in the agricultural regions. Industrial-sourced EDCs were widely detected in groundwater of agricultural area, suggesting that the transport of these pollutants is very active in groundwater system. Groundwater monitoring and pollution prevention are extremely urgent, especially for emerging contaminants. This study can provide important warnings and water resource management references for other agricultural areas affected by intensively agricultural activities in the world.","PeriodicalId":443,"journal":{"name":"Water Research","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142645839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Towards the end of the filter runtime, breakthrough of suspended Fe oxides was observed, likely due to preferential flow. Backwashing effectively removed metal oxide flocs and restored the Fe removal efficiency in the top layer of the filter. While the two layers remained separate, the anthracite and sand layers themselves fully mixed during backwashing, leading to a homogenous distribution of the microbial community within each layer. <em>Methyloglobulus</em> and <em>Gallionella</em> were the predominant organisms in the anthracite layer, likely catalyzing methane and Fe<sup>2+</sup> oxidation, respectively. The nitrifying community of the anthracite consisted of <em>Nitrosomonas, Candidatus</em> Nitrotoga, and <em>Nitrospira</em>.
