Why does pH decrease during contaminant degradation in my hybrid hydrodynamic cavitation/non thermal plasma reactor but increase without contaminants?

Dear Researchers, Scientists, Friends,

The global water crisis is affecting more and more regions of the world. How can biotechnology support the sustainable management of water resources? For the purpose of this discussion, I have formulated the following research thesis: biotechnology can contribute to the sustainable management of water resources, but intensive research into effective and scalable methods of application is required. Therefore, biotechnology can play a key role in the development of water desalination technologies, effective purification systems and water quality monitoring. However, significant challenges include the high cost of implementing such technologies, their energy intensity and their impact on ecosystems. Research should emphasise an interdisciplinary approach, combining biotechnology with other fields such as environmental engineering and sustainable development economics.

I am pleased to share the results of my research, which highlights the sources of raw water for water treatment stations. The study revealed that these sources were within permissible limits, exhibiting good ventilation.

🔍 Key Findings:

This research is particularly important as it contributes to understanding how to improve water quality and its impacts on the local environment. I invite my colleagues and researchers interested in this field to explore the full article, now available online.

To what extent does the lack of access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities constitute a serious problem for millions of people worldwide, lead to disease and hamper socio-economic development? How can this problem be reduced by increasing access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities? Is the construction of deep wells the best solution to this problem? What are the options besides drilling deep wells? How should developed countries organise their aid to developing countries in this regard?

In my opinion, the lack of access to clean drinking water and adequate sanitation is a global problem that affects millions of people around the world, with enormous consequences for their health, socio-economic development and quality of life. Contaminated water is the source of many diseases, such as cholera, typhoid and diarrhoea, which particularly endanger children and the elderly. The lack of access to drinking water forces people, especially women and children, to spend many hours searching for it, which limits their opportunities for education, work and development. In addition, the lack of sanitary facilities makes it difficult to maintain hygiene, favouring the spread of diseases and worsening the general state of health. This problem also has serious social consequences, leading to conflicts and migration, as well as hampering economic development by limiting productivity and investment opportunities. An effective solution to this problem requires a comprehensive approach, including investment in water and sanitation infrastructure, protection of water sources, promotion of water saving and hygiene education. Research plays an important role in solving this problem by providing the knowledge and analysis necessary to develop effective strategies and technologies. One of the important solutions to this problem is the construction of deep wells. First and foremost, financial and technological capital is needed to build wells. Highly developed countries are best equipped in these categories of capital, and deep wells are particularly lacking in economically underdeveloped countries and those heavily burdened by the effects of climate change, the progressive process of global warming, including increasingly frequent and increasingly burdensome periods of drought for people and natural ecosystems, the steadily decreasing amount of rainfall, the decreasing surface and underground water resources, rivers and lakes drying up, etc. Therefore, the developed countries should increase the organised aid to the economically underdeveloped countries in this matter.

I have described the key issues concerning the problem of the progressing process of global warming, the negative effects of this process and, consequently, the necessity to increase the scale and accelerate the implementation of the process of green transformation of the economy, climate protection, biosphere and biodiversity of the planet in the following article:
