Title: Mastering the Art of Literature Review for Water Quality Analysis

Embarking on a literature review journey can be likened to navigating a labyrinth of scholarly works,
theories, and data. When it comes to water quality analysis, the task becomes even more intricate due
to the multidisciplinary nature of the field. From environmental science to chemistry and public
health, synthesizing relevant information demands precision, diligence, and expertise.

Understanding the nuances of conducting a literature review is paramount. It involves a systematic


search, critical evaluation, and synthesis of existing literature to provide a comprehensive
understanding of the chosen topic—in this case, water quality analysis. But the challenges lie not
only in the sheer volume of available literature but also in discerning the reliability and relevance of
each source.

First and foremost, researchers must define the scope and objectives of their literature review. Is the
focus on specific contaminants, geographical regions, or analytical techniques? Clarifying these
aspects streamlines the search process and ensures that the review remains focused and cohesive.

Next comes the arduous task of sourcing relevant literature. While online databases and academic
journals offer a treasure trove of information, navigating through them requires skill and precision.
Keyword selection, Boolean operators, and citation tracking are just some of the strategies employed
to unearth pertinent studies.

Once the literature is gathered, the critical evaluation phase begins. This involves assessing the
quality, credibility, and relevance of each source. Is the methodology sound? Are the findings
supported by empirical evidence? Scrutinizing these aspects is crucial to maintain the integrity of the
literature review.

Synthesizing the findings is where the true artistry lies. Researchers must distill the information
gleaned from various sources, identify common themes, and highlight gaps in knowledge. This
synthesis not only contributes to the existing body of literature but also lays the groundwork for
future research endeavors.

However, mastering the art of literature review for water quality analysis requires more than just
scholarly prowess—it demands time, dedication, and expertise. For those grappling with the
complexities of this task, seeking assistance from professionals can be invaluable.

scenario helps clarify the constraints of a conventional picture of water development and provides a
useful point of departure for examining alternative long-range scenarios and their implications for
water and development policy. Zhang and Wang (2012) only conducted a bibliometric analysis of
Chinese literature, and ignored the bibliometric analysis of English literature. So not just benefit
from authors and academic community, it. From hence, carrying capacity has been applied in the
field of ecology ( Mcnaughton and Wolf, 1970; Kessler, 1994 ). The local authorities outline specific
rules to manage water resources usually engineered by fetish priestesses and priests though these
may slightly vary depending on the location. Therefore, time sequence analysis of keywords helps to
clarify the development context and knowledge base of the concept. The main components of
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) include a microcontroller for processing the system, communication
system for inter and intra node communication and several sensors. IWRM referred to a process that
promotes the coordination of management and development of land, water and related resources, in
order to maximise the social welfare and resultant economic in an equitable way without cooperating
the vital ecosystems sustainability (Global Water Partnership 2000). Presidential Decree 856 also
known as the Sanitation Code of the. Consequently, we proposed a refined literature screening
process to effectively and efficiently sort out relevant from irrelevant literature. Random Forest (RF)
and K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN) algorithm are used in the analysis and prediction of water quality.
And some of the studies even lack the process of screening ( Huang et al., 2020; Mallawaarachchi et
al., 2020; Secinaro et al., 2020 ), which will lead to less credibility of the results. The screening
results shortlisted 271 records from an initial 16,769. The four stages of bibliometric analysis are
elaborated as follows: Stage 1: The choice of search terms and search strategies is very important,
and directly determines whether the search results are comprehensive. According to Ampomah (
2017 ) industrial waste, illegal mining, farming and household disposals are the major causes of water
pollution in Ghana; hence traditional and local government authorities need to help in the protection
of water bodies. Essentially if I can honestly I really loveinterested and very amazed at the author
who wrote this book. West Africa has 25 transboundary watercourses and only 6 are under agreed
management and regulation. Donor aid acts as an incentive and augments the low African
goverments’ budgets, as such proper accountability and usage of the funds ensures that more funds
come in for projected water related projects. 3.3.2 Transboundary water resources. At the other hand,
application of the methods has also been expanded to a greater extent. OWRD has completed basin
studies in the Deschutes, Willamette and Klamath basins to understand the relationship between and
availability of groundwater and surface water. Lake Victoria, the source of the Nile River is shared
by the three East African states of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Political shenanigans created an
imbalance that resulted in two forms of water i.e., water as an economic good vs. Karikari and Ansa-
Asare ( 2006 ) reported high levels of turbidity which was attributed to poor farming practices that
lead to saltation of the river during runoff. Sign up for alerts Online ISSN 1551-7616 Print ISSN

published increased. For example the Burkinabe government exhibited political goodwill such that in
1995 the government brought together two separate ministries into one ministry of Environment and
Water thus enabling coherent policy formulation and giving the ministry one voice to speak on water
matters. The book is also not boring to read, especially for a beginner like me. We also hand-searched
the Water Security Journal from the ScienceDirect database and reference lists of relevant articles.
The accredited laboratory must participate in the quality assurance. Fresh water pollution and
looming crises in Ghana More of the population could have safe drinking water facilities if the
ongoing anthropogenic activities in Ghana are gapped with the great efforts made by the traditional
and local government authorities in Ghana. The quantity and quality of fresh water are still a major
problem in most countryside of Ghana as people have to use rainwater, surface water, and shallow
groundwater as their drinking water sources. This customary laws and practices did not disappoint
though there were gaps in terms of equity as the traditional authorities could not make water
resources more accessible to all but evolved rules that ensures quality and equitable use of water
resources among communities. Sarpong ( 2014 ) reported pH, conductivity, alkalinity and amount of
oxygen that varied in concentrations. From the perspective of the spatial scale of WRCC research,
the evaluation of WRCC initially focused on the study of cities and provinces. The scale is
reproducible, since survey questions are general and prompt the participant to share their own unique
experience. The private well-owner has the responsibility to maintain their well and ensure the water
is safe to drink. Water resource management Water resource is one of the most permeate natural
resources previously viewed as a free good with unlimited quantity (Ghana National Water Policy
2007 ). Competing interests: The authors have read the journal’s policy and have the following

42 waterborne disease outbreaks occurred in Oregon, affecting individuals served by community
water systems. In June 2013, Oregon reported 119 cases of Cryptosporidium from a lake or reservoir
resulting in two hospitalizations. Society is forcing unprecedented changes on global water resources
through worldwide abstraction and pollution of water. River basin is the only node closely
connected to China ( Figure 8C ). Zhang and Wang (2012) only conducted a bibliometric analysis of
Chinese literature, and ignored the bibliometric analysis of English literature. It is important to note
that of all the water on earth only 2.5% is made up of fresh water and it is distributed all around the
world leaving less than one (1%) per cent of fresh water accessible in lakes, river channels and
underground (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations 2003; WRC 2005 ). Due to
the persistent widespread in illegal mining activities, pollution of water bodies occurs mostly in the
south-western parts of Ghana. Apart from the IWRM strategy being a social experiment in sub-
Sahara, there exists a gap on an overarching review on the performance and aggregated outcomes of
the IWRM adopters in the continent. Retrieved December 2017, from Download references Author

Water affairs are politicised and often, the water reform policy fails to balance the Dublin’s
principles which form the backbone of the IWRM innovation policy approach. Human intervention
affects water resources directly through water use, particularly irrigation, and indirectly through
land-use change, such as agricultural expansion and urbanization. Corresponding author

for both scientific research and social practice, and thus have been widely researched and used in
other studies, however, to our knowledge, no study has yet applied this thinking in bibliometric
analysis. However if you include, medium low countries of Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia and South
Sudan and the low-level Somalia, then East Africa’s score drops to 39% (medium-low). Lack of
involvement of community in decision making as the top-down approach is still more prevalent. I so
recommend this book so I can't tell youThe Death seduction for this book. Accordingly, water was
not a major consideration, unless there were prolonged droughts or severe floods. It is indisputable
fact that fresh water resources in Ghana are under threat as water resources are running dry and
increasingly becoming scarce by the day. Philippines mandates the DOH to accredit laboratories in
accordance. However, conflicts that emanate from water resources use were squarely handled by
traditional authorities.
Water scarcity, trans-boundary water resource and donor aid played a critical role in driving the
IWRM policy approach in the three regions. A thesis submitted to the Department of Theoretical and

Detecting Water Quality AZROUR MOURADE, Yousef Farhaoui Testing water quality has a
significant role in environment controlling. OHA estimates approximately 20% of Oregonians use
private domestic wells as their primary source of potable water. Also use of chemicals in fishing
coupled with rapid population growth has entirely left our water resources ungovernable (Nsubuga et
al. 2014 ). Discharges of untreated sewage from municipal waste have resulted in serious pollution of
water in most urban settings. Also, another viable means of mitigating climate change is through the
use of hydroelectric power to meet energy needs which Ghana as a country is using though there are
current challenges with the hydropower system. Although this approach is resource-heavy, data
acquired from the first recommendation will reveal target communities for its application and
baseline data to support funding requests. Both studies’ use of secondary data (for example, census
records and SDWA data) present a financially feasible approach to identifying water insecurity
disparities. If I can comment, I will comment onone paragraph only. In dealing with the plain text
files, we first analyzed the exported text file through the VOSviewer software. This means that
building various models and adopting system dynamics in the research process of WRCC are
mainstream. Pivotal Basins (Orange, Incomati, and Limpopo) are international river basins that face
closure but are also strategically important to anyone (or all) of the pivotal states by virtue of the

A systematic literature review was selected for this study to evaluate and synthesize the available
evidence in support of wastewater treatment for both economic and environmental. Really!!! This
book is very effective for the first time I. After the first 500, the records no longer contained, in
relevant application, usage of the words “water”, “carrying”, “capacity” or “water”, “bearing”,
“capacity”. The concept of testing water samples for indicator organisms was introduced as far back
as at the turn of the 19th century. Water redistribution in South Africa has been fraught with political
and technical issues, for example, the Water Allocation Reform of 2003 failed to reconcile the
apartheid disparity hence the equity component of IWRM was compromised. Political shenanigans
created an imbalance that resulted in two forms of water i.e., water as an economic good vs. Of all
renewable natural resources, water is the most precious of all and it is a basic requirement in the
sustenance of all forms of life, complementing our basic needs such as food production, as well as
effectively contributing to socio-economic development. The main components of Wireless Sensor
Network (WSN) include a microcontroller for processing the system, communication system for inter

insecurity scalograms can be applied to rural communities with individual surface water domestic
withdrawals in Oregon (for example, Siltcoos Lake). Though there are sophisticated technologies to
address the release of GHG’s from fuels used in vehicles, the increase in number of these cars in the
