This research develops a water-centric nexus assessment framework for Thailand's major crops: rice, sugarcane, and cassava, within shared cultivation areas. The framework examines interaction among water use, agricultura...

Water scarcity traps smallholder farmers in a vicious circle of poverty and challenges individual well-being. This study explores the impact of climate change on water resources and the factors influencing smallholder fa...

Previous studies have found relationships among customer satisfaction, the management of water utilities, and users' willingness to pay (WTP) for improved water service quality. However, these studies have captured only ...

Produced water, generated as a byproduct of oil and gas extraction, is a complex mixture characterized by high salinity and the presence of hydrocarbons, heavy metals, salts, and production-related chemicals. Its large v...

Rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS) play a vital role in water resource management, particularly in developing countries such as Iran. Amid declining rainfall and increasing drought conditions, these systems offer a sust...

The rising demand for food, escalating water security, the impact of climate change, and global policy initiatives have heightened research focus on sustainability in agricultural water management. However, the field suf...

Coral reefs are among the most diverse and productive ecosystems on the planet, providing goods and services to millions of people. Yet, they are threatened by a combination of natural and anthropogenic disturbances, whi...

Global environmental degradation resulting from unsustainable human activities has become a critical development challenge in the 21st century. The Didessa watershed in southwestern Ethiopia, a region dominated by subsis...

Soil is a living, finite resource that shapes chemical fate, microbial ecology, nutrient supply, and climate regulation, yet environmental science and policy often treat it as an inert substrate. Approximately one-third ...

Emissions of human-use antibiotics in China pose a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and accelerate the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Existing assessments lack the facility-level resolution required for effe...

Reversing the effects of agricultural resource degradation – and its implications for ecosystem services (ESS) – require targeted policy action. Comprehensive and consistent estimates of the magnitudes and monetary v...

This study advances indicator-based sustainability assessment by examining structural interdependencies among the four dimensions of the 2024 Green Growth Index—resource efficiency, natural capital protection, green ec...

Water-scarce smallholder regions require irrigation strategies that are both biophysically credible and socially legitimate. We propose an integrated hydro-economic decision-support framework for the Cesar Department (Co...

Agriculture in Iran operates under acute water scarcity, climate stress, and reliance on input-intensive practices that amplify environmental pressures. This study presents the first long-term, spatially explicit life cy...

Climate change-induced shocks, particularly drought, are more prevalent and causing drastic changes in farming and livelihood in the Barind Tract region of Bangladesh. Therefore, this study aims to identify drought shock...
