Water, Vol. 11, Pages 1671: Preparation of Biomass Activated Carbon Supported Nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron (Nzvi) and Its Application in Decolorization of Methyl Orange from Aqueous Solution Water doi: 10.3390/w11081671 Authors: Zhang Wang The nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has great potential to degrade organic polluted wastewater. In this study, the nZVI particles were obtained by the pulse electrodeposition and were loaded on the biomass activated carbon (BC) for synthesizing...

Water, Vol. 11, Pages 1667: Gradual Exposure to Salinity Improves Tolerance to Salt Stress in Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) Water doi: 10.3390/w11081667 Authors: Michael Santangeli Concetta Capo Simone Beninati Fabrizio Pietrini Cinzia Forni Soil salinity is considered one of the most severe abiotic stresses in plants; plant acclimation to salinity could be a tool to improve salt tolerance even in a sensitive genotype. In this work we investigated the physiological mechanisms...

Water, Vol. 11, Pages 1665: Modeling and Practice of Erosion and Sediment Transport under Change Water doi: 10.3390/w11081665 Authors: Hafzullah Aksoy Gil Mahe Mohamed Meddi Climate and anthropogenic changes impact on the erosion and sediment transport processes in rivers. Rainfall variability and, in many places, the increase of rainfall intensity have a direct impact on rainfall erosivity. Increasing changes in demography have led to the acceleration of land cover changes from...

Water, Vol. 11, Pages 1664: Wavelet Coherency Structure in Open Channel Flow Water doi: 10.3390/w11081664 Authors: Kebing Chen Yifan Zhang Qiang Zhong Many studies based on single-point measurement data have demonstrated the impressive ability of wavelet coherency analysis to catch the coherent structures in the wall-bounded flows; however, the question of how the events found by the wavelet coherency analysis relate to the features of the coherent structures remains open. Time...
