Environmental Resilience and Transformation in Times of COVID-19: Climate Change Effects on Environmental Functionality is a timely reference to better understand environmental changes amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated lockdowns. The book is organized into five themes: (1) environmental modifications, degradation, and human health risks; (2) water resources-planning, management, and governance; (3) air quality-monitoring, fate, transport, and drivers of socioenvironmental change; (4) marine and lacustrine environment; and (5) sustainable development goals and environmental justice. These themes provide an insight into the impact of COVID-19 on the environment and vice versa, which will help improve environmental management and planning, as well as influence future policies. Featuring many case studies from around the globe, this book offers a crucial examination of the intersectionality between climate, sustainability, the environment, and public health for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in environmental science

This book offers a meaningful and practicable guide to better management of arsenic problems in the groundwater of the Gangetic Plain. It gathers contributions from distinguished researchers who have been actively working in the area for over a decade. The arsenic contamination of groundwater is a growing concern in the central Gangetic Plain, where the local population's main sources of fresh water are surface water, groundwater and rain water; of these sources, only the last two generally meet the most important criteria for drinking water in their natural state.

AbstractCombination of constructed wetland with activated sludge (AS) is one of the application of sustainable development for dealing with environmental pollution. The objective of this study was to compare the performance of three system of domestic wastewater treatment, namely AS, combination AS with constructed wetland containing Canna lily (AS‐CWC), combination AS with constructed wetland containing Cyperus papyrus (AS‐CWP) for treating domestic wastewater. Mini pilot scale of treatment system was built under continuous flow. Samples were taken at outlet in each unit for measuring water quality parameters, such as BOD, TSS, , ‐N and ‐N. The results indicated that AS‐CWC performed a higher removal of BOD, and TSS than AS‐CWP and AS. AS‐CWC and AS‐CWP showed a statistically insignificant difference removal of ‐N and ‐N, though the former performed a higher removal than the later. This study revealed that TOC increased in the highest percentage in AS and the lowest increasing in AS‐CWP. Constructed wetlands should be integrated with primary treatment to enhancing effluent quality and reduce organic matter, a precursors of carcinogenic compound.
