Water is one of the essential natural resources for human beings. However, rising worldwide water demand and a significant decline in availability due to lack dynamic management over-extraction have resulted complex scenario terms availability. The current paper examines their management, methodologies, aims, scope. Through perspective Pakistan, 93 research publications were critically analyzed using systematic review technique. technique includes existing literature on resource with particular emphasis policy, governance, environmental challenges. study results demonstrate gaps weaknesses laws regulations, alongside threats population expansion, urban development, climate change, contamination. To properly address these problems, proposed comprehensive framework management. This national policy that argues sustainability improves institutional strength. Infrastructure change adaptation, examining social variables are all emphasized as important problems. Furthermore, it emphasize importance education raising knowledge about among general public relevant stakeholders. By following recommendations OECD key principles Pakistan may make progress towards achieving sustainable aligning its development objectives, ensuring clean safe future generations.

Purpose The present research investigates the effects of adopting Industry 4.0 technologies (ADT) on Pakistani food sector’s sustainable performance (SP). Specifically, it focuses roles green supply chain collaboration (GSCC), circular economy practices (CEP) and technological readiness (TR) as mediators environmental dynamism (EDY) a moderator. Design/methodology/approach This study is based natural resource-based view (NRBV) theory to determine 14.0 adoption toward with moderators. authors conducted an online questionnaire from 318 employees manufacturing industries in Lahore, Pakistan, applied PLS-SEM approach test relationships variables. Findings findings this reveal that significantly influences through GSCC, CEP TR sector. Moreover, relation between industry technologies, positively moderated by dynamism. Research limitations/implications have marked implications for literature I4.0 data collected single country, limitation study. Originality/value provides conclusive evidence influence first investigate moderating role among TR.

Chemical contaminants in drinking water, including arsenic, nitrate, and fluoride, pose significant health risks, particularly low-income countries with inadequate water management infrastructure. This study aims to identify the most hazardous chemical contaminants, evaluate global quality, assess impacts based on a comprehensive literature review guided by PRISMA method. The findings revealed that arsenic concentrations Romania, Pakistan, India exceed WHO USEPA safety thresholds, maximum levels reaching 130.3 µg/L. Nitrate Morocco were found be as high 844 mg/L 270.1 mg/L, respectively, far surpassing standards. Fluoride contamination Pakistan reached 30 well above recommended limits. These are primarily sourced from industrial effluents, agricultural runoff, improper waste disposal. highlights regional disparities, 67% of reports 88% cases linked groundwater sources. results underscore urgent need for improved monitoring, stricter regulations, effective strategies mitigate vulnerable populations such infants children. Governments international bodies must prioritise addressing protect public health.

Abstract Water pollution has become a growing threat to human society and natural ecosystems in recent decades. It increases the need understand surface water quality assessment better using chemometric tools within aquatic systems. This study sampled of 21 parameters at multiple sampling points Jabi Lake during wet dry seasons (August–December 2021) various statistical methods including cluster analysis, principal component analysis/factorial discriminant box plot analysis. These samples were examined for physicochemical employing standard techniques. The revealed significant seasonal variations quality. During season, key measurements included total dissolved solids (100.40 mg/l), oxygen (13.72 electrical conductivity (97.14 µs/cm). season showed higher levels most parameters, with 137.91 mg/l 230.93 µs/cm. Statistical analysis identified strong correlations between notably phosphate hardness ( r = 0.978, α 0.05) pH temperature 0.995, 0.05). four components explaining 98.5–100% variance, representing sources organic waste, domestic sewage, factors. findings indicated that more polluted, some exceeding World Health Organisation standards, suggesting potential health risks. research demonstrated effectiveness multivariate techniques analysing complex data provided valuable insights resource management, particularly regarding variations' impact on
