Thus, in the current study, the effects of pollutant discharge concentration (PDC) are considered while analyzing the flow of non-Newtonian nanofluids (NNNF) through the permeable Riga surface subject to heat radiation. Walter’s B fluid (WBF) and second-grade fluids (SGFs), two distinct types of NNNF, have been investigated. The fluid flow is expressed as a system of PDEs, which are simplified into lower order by employing similarity approach. These equations (ODEs) are solved using the Levenberg Marquardt back-propagation optimization algorithm (LMBOA) of the artificial neural network (ANN). The Matlab package “bvp4c” is used for generating the dataset in order to validate the results of the ANN-LMBOA. The dataset was developed for various flow scenarios, as well as ANN evaluation and validation. The accuracy of the ANN-LMBOA model is estimated though numerous statistical tools, i.e., histogram, regression measures, curve fitting, performance plots, and validation tables. The numerical outcomes of bvp4c package are also compared to the published literature. Which show best accuracy and resemblance with each other for the limiting case. The targeted date absolute error is accomplished within the range of 10<sup>–4</sup>-10<sup>–5</sup> which confirms the outstanding accuracy of ANN-LMBOA.

The baseline scenario indicates a significant rise in water demand from 35.74 billion cubic meters (BCMs) in 2020 to 60.28 BCM by 2035, driven by population growth and increased domestic water consumption. High population growth exacerbates this demand, reaching 62.96 BCM by 2035. This research aims to address domestic water needs under various growth scenarios, considering factors such as population growth rate and per capita consumption. The study employs integrated hydrological modeling to simulate water demand under different socioeconomic conditions. Key methods include analyzing baseline water demand, projecting future scenarios, and evaluating the impact of increased irrigation and population growth on water resources. Results reveal that without intervention, stagnant water supply management will lead to severe water shortages. Increased irrigation, influenced by a 3% growth in irrigated land, pushes agricultural water demand to 56.37 BCM by 2035. Mitigation efforts, such as a 15% reduction in domestic water consumption, could decrease overall demand to 51.23 BCM by 2035. Further reductions are explored through a 50% cut in agricultural water consumption, involving efficient irrigation techniques. The study highlights the critical role of technology and farmer awareness in achieving these reductions, despite current irrigation scheme losses of 20%. A lower population growth scenario shows a contrasting trend, with water demand decreasing to 49.11 BCM by 2035, attributed to a 1.8% population growth rate and decreased per capita consumption to 82 m<sup>3</sup> per day. These findings underscore the importance of proactive water management strategies, technological advancements, and demographic considerations in addressing future water demand challenges in the Upper Indus Basin.

Techniques based on adsorption and extensive use of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides (MXenes) with the presence of terminal functional groups have provided a high potential in the separation of organic aromatic pollutants. In this work, a 2D substrate of the MXenes family named V<sub>2</sub>CT<sub>x</sub> is designed to investigate the adsorption behavior of several types of dye organic pollutants using the molecular dynamics simulation technique based on Newton’s laws in the aqueous phase. Several simulation boxes are designed, which are placed in two groups, discrete simulation boxes and co-loading (Mxn-Mix) boxes. Several analyses, including root-mean-square deviation, interaction energies, radial distribution function, mean square displacement, hydrogen bond (HB) number, and the number of contacts, have been used to analyze the results. The simulation results and interaction energy show that all the dye analytes used can interact with MXene (Mxn), which indicates that MXene can be an effective adsorbent to remove pollutant molecules. Our results confirm that the adsorption process of analytes by V<sub>2</sub>CT<sub>x</sub> substrate is selective. The analysis of adsorption behavior shows that the loading process is spontaneous in all systems, and the values of the interaction energy for the most stable complexes are −149.95 and −104.85 kJ/mol corresponding to crystal violet and brilliants blue analytes, respectively, in both groups of discrete and Mxn-Mix simulation boxes. The strong adsorption can be attributed to the cationic nature of analytes and their nucleophilic aromatic parts, which caused strong coul interactions for the adsorption of these molecules. The HB and π–π interactions are also responsible for the adsorption of dye molecules here. The obtained results also indicate that in addition to the cationic nature, other factors, such as the linearity of the molecular structures, the charge of the dye molecules, and the molecular mass of the tested pollutants, are effective in the adsorption process. Current studies show that the Mxn nanostructure is an excellent substrate of adsorbent material that has high efficiency for the separation of organic dyes in aqueous media. It is hoped that this research can be a very good class for other target pollutants in the future.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8374,"journal":{"name":"Applied Water Science","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13201-024-02331-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142849627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show Rainwater Harvesting as the most balanced option with a relative closeness value of <span>({C}_{i}^{+})</span>=0.640, excelling in social equity and environmental sustainability. Water Recycling ranks closely behind (<span>({C}_{i}^{+})</span>=0.608), highlighting its adaptability and technological feasibility, while Desalination, though highly efficient, is hindered by lower cost-effectiveness (<span>({C}_{i}^{+})</span>=0.578). By integrating TOPSIS and FTOPSIS, the study addresses uncertainties and subjective criteria, providing a robust multi-dimensional assessment framework for resource management. This methodology aids decision-makers in identifying strategies that align with sustainable development goals and adapt to regional priorities. Future work can expand this framework to include stakeholder engagement and policy factors, enhancing water management strategies for resilient, long-term solutions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8374,"journal":{"name":"Applied Water Science","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13201-024-02336-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142776485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
