: A Syrian refugee boy walks in a sunflower field while he and other migrants wait inside and outside a bus before being taken by Hungarian police to board a train to the Austrian border, in Roszke, southern Hungary, on Tuesday. The Hungarian government was expected to decide Tuesday to deploy the army to its border with Serbia as a set of harsh new laws meant to stop the huge flow of refugees and other migrants through the country took effect. With Hungary cracking down, desperate people fleeing Syria, Afghanistan and elsewhere struggled to make it into the country, hoping to reach Western Europe before it was too late.

Hungary has sealed the last gap in the barricade along its border with Serbia, closing the passage to thousands of refugees and migrants still waiting on the other side. Hungary is on the frontline of Europe’s migrant crisis, with almost 200,000 people travelling up from Greece through the western Balkans and entering the country this year, most of them seeking to travel on to economic powerhouse Germany.

: Individual membranes from a micro filter array remove suspended solids, bacteria and protozoa from waste water as part of the recycling process at the West Basin Municipal Water District water recycling facility in El Segundo, California, on Monday. As drought-stricken California struggles with water conservation, West Basin employs a three-part water purification system involving microfiltration, reverse osmosis and ultraviolet light treatment to transform waste water into potable water. The finished product is then sent underground to replenish the area’s aquifers where it mixes with the natural underground water supply which feeds wells. Critics call the method toilet-to-tap but the final product is more pure than tap or bottled water and exceeds all state and federal drinking water standards, according to WBMWD.
