With regard to Singapore, villages utilized land reclamation during the mid-nineteenth century to strengthen coastlines and ultimately protect fishing communities from flooding; however, Singapore's government has prioritized the use of land reclamation for infrastructure projects, industry, public utilities ...
pollution of the soil tended to be more severe in degree after the soil was turned from farmland into the urban lands,and could be effectively mitigated when land use of the urban soils was reduced in intensity and managed better.Change of the servitude of the same piece of land might also...
industrial storage land,and transportation land was one of the reasons resulting in serious surface water pollution.It would be beneficial to the city's surface water protection that the area of ecological land,such as green garden,had increased and the structure and pattern of urban land use ...
In recent years, land use upstream of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) has changed significantly because of the TGR project. In this study, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was examined for its ability to assess relationships between land use changes and nonpoint pollutant indexes...
Second, nature refers to the natural world, with an emphasis on biodiversity1(the variability of life on earth24). In this study, both land and forests are considered part of nature. The interaction of nature and human assets (like infrastructure, technology, or financial capital) co-produce ...
Offshore sedimentation processes are strongly influenced by the pH changes of terrestrial discharges, and sedimentary dynamics have become extremely acute and complex due to offshore pollution. The seabed topography and hydrodynamic environment determine the fate and transport of pollutants entering offshore...
The heavily industrialised Kanpur region is the most polluted stretch of the Ganga river because of excessive pollutant discharge from the industries. Agricultural runoff along with climate change further adds to the pollution risk in this industrialised
The impacts of land use changes have received considerable attention from ecologists, particularly with respect to effects on aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity (Turner et al., 2001). Land use changes in a watershed can impact water supply by altering hydrological processes such as infiltration, ...
Williams (1996) criticized the division of pollution into categories (e.g., air, water, land etc.) and commented that there is only `one pollution' because every pollutant, whether in the air, or on land tends to end up in the ocean. Production and emissions of pollutants are usually ...
