Water Footprint for Rice Cultivation in the Brazilian Semi-Arid: Subsidies for Better Irrigation Practices and Sustainability

|
By Simone Santos, Lourdinha Florêncio, Bruna Scandolara Magnus
| Wiley Online Library Verified
1 Introduction Irrigation constitutes the primary anthropogenic activity responsible for global water appropriation, accounting for approximately 70% of freshwater withdrawals, particularly within intensive agricultural systems (Stevens et al. 2021). This scenario becomes especially critical in semi-arid regions, where irregular rainfall patterns intensify reliance on artificial water sources for agricultural production (Chapagain and Hoekstra 2004; Vanham and Mekonnen 2021).

| Taylor & Francis Online
ABSTRACT This study investigated the effect of chlorinating an anaerobic reactor effluent with a high dosage of electroactivated water (EAW) and using the breakpoint strategy. The resulting effluent quality was evaluated based on the resolutions of the Brazilian Environmental Council.

Assessment of the oxygen dynamics in microalgae-bacteria systems through respirometry

|
By Marcos Sales, Unidad Académica Juriquilla, Lourdinha Florêncio, Germán Buitrón
| Wiley Online Library Verified
INTRODUCTION Aerobic wastewater treatment requires high energy demand and costs due to aeration. For example, artificial aeration in conventional activated sludge can represent 45–75% of energy consumption.1 An alternative to reduce costs is using an algal–bacterial consortium since the microalgae during the lighting phase produce the oxygen required by the bacteria to oxidize pollutants, and heterotrophic bacteria produce the CO2 needed by the microalgae.

IWRM Incorporating Water Use and Productivity Indicators of Economic Clusters Using a Hydro-Economic SDSS

|
By Lourdinha Florêncio, Souza da Silva, Laíse Alves Candido, Gerald Norbert
| MDPI
2.2. Hotspot Analysis, Water Use and Productivity Indicators and the Cluster Ranking Index Figure 2 shows the used sources of data and the developed methods used to identify and then prioritize the main productive arrangements, especially those essential to maintain important economies on a regional level. Labor, GDP, and raw water uses are the main data inputs for the analysis.
