Summary
Sudden water pollution (SWP) incidents are rising due to industrial activity, posing risks to health and ecosystems. This review proposes a management framework and model guidelines for proactive SWP prevention and mitigation.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Water Resource Management
- Risk Assessment
Background:
- Sudden water pollution (SWP) incidents pose increasing risks to human health, socio-economic stability, and ecological integrity.
- Industrial growth, mining, and sewage treatment are primary sources of SWP, often resulting from accidents, illegal discharges, or natural disasters.
- Consequences include drinking water contamination, supply disruption, ecological damage, and agricultural impacts.
Conclusions:
- While mitigation strategies have advanced, prevention strategies for SWP require further development.
- The proposed SWP management framework and hydrodynamic model guidelines offer a foundation for proactive measures.
- Practical field trials are recommended for validating the management framework and guidelines.

46
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.
