In peninsular India, water remains an extremely critical and valuable resource because of its scarcity. Being a semiarid region, demand for irrigation water competes with increasing demands from other sectors such as domestic and industrial uses. This paper analyses the impact ...
water, for their daily use and engage in open defecation, which may increase the risk of direct exposure to waterborne contaminants. Insufficient sanitation has been linked to significant public health issues in Indonesia, including maternal health complications, childhood stunting, and an increased inci...
In contrast to most integrated assessment models, with limited transparency on damage functions and recursive temporal dynamics, we use a unique large-dimensional computational global climate and trade model, GTAP-DynW, to directly project the possible intertemporal impacts of water and heat stress on...
Freshwater stress represents the state of demand-driven water scarcity15 and is defined as the ratio of freshwater withdrawal to streamflow (Fig. 1a). Trends in freshwater storage, conversely, represent the evolution of total storage, defined as the vertical sum of groundwater, soil moisture, surf...
This will allow different scenarios of land use and levels of RWH to be explored to quantify the hydrological impact on the catchment.Keywords: Rainwater harvesting,聽water table fuctuation,聽recharge,聽groundwater,聽water balance,聽Arvari River,聽IndiaAdditional informationAuthor informationC Glen...
This review synthesizes existing literature on the environmental and health impacts of unsustainable EEE recycling practices in Nigeria's informal sector. Informal WEEE recycling practices in Nigeria are characterized by primitive techniques, such as burning and dismantling, leading to air, water, and ...
The objective of this mission was to map the composition of the Moon's surface, namely, the distribution of minerals and elements. It offered important information about the Moon's resources, including the discovery of hydrogen at the lunar poles, which may indicate the existence of water ice....
Moreover, continuous agricultural expansion, desert cultivation, and urban development are essential to face the problem of population growth in Egypt. As a result, this will increase demands on limited water supplies. Accordingly, Egypt is rapidly facing a severe water scarcity issue. Water ...
Local groundwater levels in South India are falling alarmingly. In the semi-arid crystalline Deccan plateau area, agricultural production relies on groundwater resources. Downscaled Global Climate Model (GCM) data are used to force a spatially distribute
Climate change (CC) will likely significantly impact the world’s infrastructure significantly. Rising temperatures, increased precipitation, and rising sea levels are all likely to stress critical infrastructures (CI). Rising temperatures can lead to in
