A Bibliometric Analysis of Water Pollution with Nutrients and Water Quality

Water quality is crucial for both human well-being and the environment, and nutrient pollution poses a significant threat, leading to the degradation of water resources. To advance our understanding of water quality formation and pollution dynamics, a bibliometric analysis was conducted on articles related to water pollution with nutrients published in the Scopus database between 1979 and 2022. A total of 324 articles were reviewed, with the majority being research papers (81.5%). This study provides insights into the growing concern over nutrient pollution, highlighting key trends in publication volumes, influential authors, institutions, and the geographical distribution of research. Notably, the analysis reveals a shift toward increasing global research activity in the field, with a focus on the impacts of nutrient pollution on regional and global water quality. The findings emphasize the importance of addressing water quality challenges with tailored solutions that account for regional variations in nutrient pollution sources and impacts. Future research should prioritize investigating the migration and transformation of nitrogen and phosphorus in water bodies, which are central to nutrient pollution. This will contribute to more effective, region-specific strategies for managing water quality and mitigating the impacts of nutrient pollution.
