COVID-19 and surface water quality: Improved lake water quality during the lockdown
Science of the Total Environment202037 influential citationsHuman life comes to a standstill as many countries shut themselves off from the work due to the novel coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) that hit the world severely in the first quarter of 2020. All types of industries, vehicle…
Managing nitrogen to restore water quality in China
Nature201915 influential citationsThe nitrogen cycle has been radically changed by human activities<sup>1</sup>. China consumes nearly one third of the world's nitrogen fertilizers. The excessive application of fertilizers<sup>2,3</sup> and increased nitrogen discharge…
A comprehensive review of water quality indices (WQIs): history, models, attempts and perspectives
Reviews in Environmental Science and Bio\/technology202314 influential citationsWater quality index (WQI) is one of the most used tools to describe water quality. It is based on physical, chemical, and biological factors that are combined into a single value that ranges from 0 to 100 and involves 4 processes: (1)…
Characterizing the river water quality in China: Recent progress and on-going challenges.
Water Research202113 influential citationsFood production systems, urbanization, and other anthropogenic activities dramatically alter natural hydrological and nutrient cycles, and are primarily responsible for water quality impairments in China's rivers. This study compiled a…
Examining the dynamics of the relationship between water pH and other water quality parameters in ground and surface water systems
PLoS ONE202213 influential citationsThis study evaluated the relationship between water pH and the physicochemical properties of water while controlling for the influence of heavy metals and bacteriological factors using a nested logistic regression model. The study further…
A comprehensive method for improvement of water quality index (WQI) models for coastal water quality assessment.
Water Research202212 influential citationsHere, we present an improved water quality index (WQI) model for assessment of coastal water quality using Cork Harbour, Ireland, as the case study. The model involves the usual four WQI components - selection of water quality indicators…
A review of the application of machine learning in water quality evaluation
Eco-Environment & Health202211 influential citationsWith the rapid increase in the volume of data on the aquatic environment, machine learning has become an important tool for data analysis, classification, and prediction. Unlike traditional models used in water-related research,…
Hybrid decision tree-based machine learning models for short-term water quality prediction.
Chemosphere202011 influential citationsWater resources are the foundation of people's life and economic development, and are closely related to health and the environment. Accurate prediction of water quality is the key to improving water management and pollution control. In…
Robust machine learning algorithms for predicting coastal water quality index.
Journal of Environmental Management202210 influential citationsCoastal water quality assessment is an essential task to keep "good water quality" status for living organisms in coastal ecosystems. The Water quality index (WQI) is a widely used tool to assess water quality but this technique has…
Spatial scale effects of landscape metrics on stream water quality and their seasonal changes.
Water Research20218 influential citationsPhysiography and land use patterns influence streams water quality by affecting non-point source (NPS) pollution process. However, each landscape factor may affect the NPS pollution process differently with the variations of the spatial…
