TL;DR: This paper seeks to summarize links between water and health in cities and outline four main elements of systems approaches: analytic methods to deal with complexity, interdisciplinarity, transdiscipline, and multi-scale thinking.

TL;DR: In this article, ground movement was estimated using radar satellite data to generate a replacement-prioritisation map for underground drinking water pipe networks using ground movement data, and two types of analyses were performed: cell and pixel based.

TL;DR: In Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, Nitrate concentrations above 250 mg L−1 in groundwater have been reported as mentioned in this paper, which represents a serious threat for human health and for the environment.

TL;DR: In this article, the significant role played by joints in the failures registered in drinking water distribution networks is discussed and a procedure to detect them through the visual measurement of the gap between pipes inside a joint is proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the global trends on water reclamation, with a focus on industrial use, is presented, and the main challenge is to develop a framework that can facilitate the integration of social and technological methods and help in introducing water re-clamation in water allocation, including the development of specific legislation for industrial water use and disposal.
