Methodologies and water security indices: a systematic review of their application in basins and industry

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0600

Water scarcity, intensified by climate change and population growth, represents a global challenge that directly affects water security and makes the industrial sector vulnerable due to its high demand for water in operational processes. This article presents a systematic review conducted according to the PRISMA methodology and the PICO strategy, aiming to identify and analyze methodologies used for water security assessment in different territorial and sectoral contexts, with emphasis on contributions and gaps related to the industrial sector. Several approaches for assessing water security, risk, and vulnerability were identified, notably multi-criteria methods such as AHP and its variations (FAHP, BWM, Delphi, entropy), fuzzy models (FCE), conceptual frameworks such as DPSIR and PSER, grey forecasting, and decision support systems (DSS). Many of these methodologies have been applied to the construction of indices and indicators for urban and rural water security analysis, water stress assessment, and water resources sustainability. The analysis of 26 studies revealed both established and emerging methods, often combined with analytical and geospatial tools to enhance the accuracy and applicability of results. Although the literature search explicitly included the term “industry,” few direct applications were found, revealing a significant gap in the use of these methodologies in the sector. Nevertheless, the identified methods provide a robust basis for future adaptations capable of supporting diagnosis, forecasting, and strategic decision-making in industrial contexts and in territories under increasing water stress.

Mathematical modeling of bovine manure treatment by anaerobic digestion

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0600

Brazilian livestock stands out worldwide, however it generates organic waste that requires adequate treatment to avoid environmental impacts. The present study is based on the hypothesis that anaerobic digestion can be used for the efficient treatment of livestock waste. Bovine manure from beef cattle was used as substrate and sludge from an anaerobic starch biodigester was used as inoculum. The factors inoculum mixing ratio (IMR) (%) and operating time (OT) of the anaerobic biodigesters (days) were controlled, with their effects on the color, turbidity and COD parameters being evaluated using a CCRD. The highest efficiency of the system was observed for turbidity removal (96.94%). The IMR factor, quadratic term, had a significant effect on the removal of turbidity and color. Although COD removal was not high, similar results were observed in the literature. The mathematical model for turbidity was statistically significant, presenting a p-value of 0.03. The biogas produced by experimental test 08, showed 82.0% methane, 16.0% carbon dioxide and a total absence of hydrogen sulfide. The anaerobic biodigestion technique is indicated for the treatment of cattle waste using starch effluent biodigester inoculum, however it is suggested that researchers in the area carry out additional research under experimental conditions different from those tested in the present study.

Carbon emissions and embodied energy in buildings: Porto Privilege project in Salvador-Bahia

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0600

The general objective of this article is to analyze the inventory prepared using the energy consumption and carbon emissions calculator (CECarbon) for a building project in Salvador - Bahia. The following methodological techniques were used: bibliographic and documentary research and an illustrative case of Porto Privilege´s project. The results demonstrated that 79% of carbon emissions from the project (1,134.68 tCO₂e or 0.22 tCO₂e/m²) refer to the consumption of steel, concrete, aluminum frames, mortar, and concrete blocks. The embodied energy in all materials used in the project (12,906.78 GJ or 2.55 GJ/m²) would be capable of supplying 415 homes with four people for one year. Thus, the evaluation of the structural aspect of the building, the efficiency of the construction process, allowing the reduction of losses of steel, concrete, and mortar, or possible replacement of aluminum frames and concrete blocks with other alternative materials, for example, has potential to reduce carbon emissions and embodied energy at Porto Privilege. For possible compensation actions, the project's total emissions are equivalent to the carbon content stored in 7,943 trees in the Atlantic Forest. It is concluded that Porto Privilege's results are positioned within the national average regarding carbon intensity and energy consumption of buildings. It is hoped that the article can motivate other construction companies to carry out their carbon emission inventories, contributing to improving indicators for the sector, and supporting decision-making by entrepreneurs and public agents regarding mitigation strategies and/or offsetting carbon emissions in the construction sector in Brazil.

Tharcia Priscilla de Paiva Batista Matos, Alexandre Cunha Costa — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0600

The monitoring of dammed waters is important for the management of watersheds, mainly in the semi-arid region due to the meteorological regime in the region. The goal of this research is to analyze the spatio-temporal variability of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the Castanhão reservoir, Brazil, highlighting its impact on fish farming. The data used refer to six sampling stations provided by the Ceará State Company of Water Resources Management. Hydrogen potential (pH), sality (S), temperature (T), and depth (z) of the water column profile of the reservoir between January 2016, and June 2021 were analyzed. The Kruskal-Wallis test with Post-Hoc analysis and the Mann-Kendall trend test were used. In the spatial analysis on the water surface, most of the DO values observed were above 4.0 mg.L^-1, corresponding to the recommended standards for creating Nile romis niloticus). Spatial analysis at the bottom of the reservoir showed that the deeper stations have a lower concentration of DO. It was possible to group the analyzed stations into two groups in the surface analysis (CTN-20 and CTNs) and three groups in the bottom analysis (group A: CTN-20, CTN-24, and CTN-08, group B: CTN-23 and CTN-03, and group C: CTN-16). The seasonal analysis at the bottom showed lower DO availability in the rainy season. In the interannual analysis, cluster A deteriorated over the years concerning DO concentration.

Alternativas de reúso de águas cinzas após tratamento químico

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0600

The scarcity of water resources is an issue that is becoming increasingly worrying over time, reflecting the significant reduction in the volumes of water stored in reservoirs in various regions. The reuse of gray water is widely adopted in several countries as a sustainable alternative to reduce the demand for drinking water. However, the lack of adequate water quality standards or guidelines hinders the appropriate reuse of graywater. This research aims to simulate a graywater reuse project, derived from domestic processes such as dishwashing, laundry and bathing - excluding toilet waste. This research was carried out at the Laboratory for Innovation in Waste Utilization and Energy Sustainability (LARSEN) at the Federal Institute of Tocantins (IFTO) - Palmas Campus. The treatment used in this research was structured in two stages: (1) Coagulation, Flocculation and Decantation and (2) Filtration of the effluent from the coagulation system in a sand filter, followed by adsorption on activated carbon. To this end, coagulation tests were carried out with aluminium plichloride at a concentration of 1% in order to optimize the removal of turbidity from the liquid, and factorial planning was carried out using the Fractional Factorial Design (FFD) to verify turbidity removal. The factors studied were pH of the grey water, coagulant dosage, slow mixing time and sedimentation time. The characterization of the raw and treated greywater was carried out, showing the efficiency of removal of parameters such as COD (from 259.1 to 26 mg/L), Volatile Solids (from 487 to 20.3 mg/L), Suspended Solids (from 120 to not detected), Turbidity (from 126 to 0.1 uT) and E. coli (from 9.2 to not detected). With the results obtained, and based on the 1997 NBR 13969 standard, the treated effluent can be used for washing cars, floors and sidewalks, flushing toilets, as well as irrigating gardens, orchards, cereals and pastures.

Evaluation of the El Gavilán wastewater treatment plant and its impact on the odor perception of the residents of Manta, Manabí province, Ecuador.

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0600

The main objective of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) is to contribute to the quality of life of the inhabitants by preserving the resource and the landscape. However, when these are poorly managed, they become urban stressors and affect the health of citizens. For this reason, it is desired to evaluate the impact of the El Gavilán WWTP on the adjacent population. To assess the impact, unstructured interviews and surveys were conducted with different sectors of society, in order to know the impact caused by the El Gavilán (WWTP) and their area of influence. It was determined that the El Gavilán (WWTP) is causing a negative impact on society, the main one being bad odors with a level 4 intensity and a generalized radius with a of more than 1 kilometer. The uncontrolled growth and the incorporation of industries into the drainage system, coupled with the collapse of the sewage system due to the dumping of garbage, has caused complications in the management of the WWTP, which has caused a deterioration in the quality of life of the inhabitants, and therefore, of health. It is recommended to incorporate mitigation measures for bad odors.

Pilot project for structuring the Minas Gerais’ Reverse Logistics network

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0600

Reverse Logistics is defined in the National Solid Waste Policy (Law 12305/2010) as the “return of products after use by the consumer, independently of the public urban cleaning and solid waste management service” which must be carried out by manufacturers, importers, distributors and traders of packaging and pesticide residues; cells and batteries; tires; packaging and waste of lubricating oils; fluorescent, sodium and mercury vapor and mixed light lamps; and electronic products and their components. Minas Gerais is the fourth largest Brazilian state with the largest number of municipalities, characterized by its large size and population dispersion. Of the 853 municipalities in Minas Gerais, 80% are considered small municipalities, with a population of less than 25 thousand inhabitants, which are not regularly served by reverse logistics (IBGE, 2010). The Minas Gerais’ Reverse Logistics Network is an initiative proposed for the development of a strategy for implementing reverse logistics in all municipalities, including small ones. A pilot project was developed in 17 municipalities, with the joint action of reverse logistics institutions in itinerant collection campaigns, with the centralization of waste to optimize collection and transportation logistics. This article presents the results of the surveys carried out to characterize the 42 tons of waste collected and the strategies employed for popular mobilization and participation, in order to provide information and consolidate a proposal for the implementation of Reverse Logistics in Minas Gerais, ensuring broad coverage of the state.
