World Rivers Day (22nd September 2024) is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of every September, putting a spotlight on the natural and cultural values of our world’s waterways. It is also an initiative that emphasizes the importance of protecting rivers across the globe. You can find out more about the history of World Rivers Day here.

At Springer Nature, our SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) Working Group is marking World Rivers Day by showcasing some of our important research on rivers.

Please see some of our latest 2024 river research below 

Discover Applied Sciences:

·         Persistent organic pollutants in sediment of a tropical river: the case of N’djili River in Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo)

·         A hybrid SARIMA-Prophet model for predicting historical streamflow time-series of the Sobat River in South Sudan

·         Genetic diversity and population structure of Mastacembelus armatus in the river systems of southern China revealed by microsatellites

Discover Water:

·         Distribution, source apportionment and ecological risk assessment of heavy metals in Limbe River sediments, Atlantic Coast, Cameroon Volcanic Line

·         Addressing water security challenges through groundwater recharge for revival of Kanari River using AHP and geospatial techniques

·         Potential of ecological water treatment elements to reduce pollution of river water used for urban agriculture in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Chemistry: Applied Phytochemistry: Characterization, Extraction, and Applications in Food, Pharmaceutical, and Agriculture

Phytochemicals are secondary metabolites distributed in the plant kingdom, and some can also be obtained from animal and fungal sources. These metabolites can be classified into alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, phenolic acids, terpenes, and essential oils. Many of them have been associated with health-promoting effects in humans, as potential biocide agents to mitigate the use of chemical pesticides in agriculture, or as biostimulants in different crops. Due to the many applications of phytochemicals new techniques and optimization strategies are being studied. This topical collection deals with articles related to the characterization techniques and emerging and new extraction methodologies of phytochemicals from different sources. It also comprises the application of phytochemicals in the formulation of functional foods, nutraceuticals, bio-pharmaceuticals, and agriculture as biocides or biostimulants.
