To fulfil the goal, the methodological approach to the economic analysis of regions belonging of the river sub-basin – the Lower Dnipro sub-basin, was refined so as to base on computing the economic indicators reflecti...

Andosol was unsuitable for crop production without large inputs of phosphorus fertilizer due to high levels of active aluminum making phosphorus insoluble. However, Miscanthus sinensis has dominated Andosol for centuries...

IntroductionClimate change is increasing the co-occurrence of heat, drought, and soil salinization in Mediterranean agroecosystems, yet their interactive effects on crop physiology remain poorly understood. We investigat...

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...

Surface water recycling is essential for addressing water scarcity in arid regions like Iran. This study assesses the feasibility of enhancing surface water reuse in Tehran’s urban infrastructure by focusing on the cit...

Abstract Microbiological contamination of water poses an ongoing global public health concern. This study assesses the association between water quality and beef contamination within the slaughter-to-plate continuum, con...

Abstract Background Microhabitat heterogeneity plays a crucial role in shaping plant water use strategies and ecophysiological processes in arid ecosystems, yet little is known about the coupled response of leaf water is...

Abstract Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) production is increasingly challenged by water limitations and declining soil quality, necessitating efficient alternatives to conventional cultivation. This review examines the ...

Spatio-temporal evaluation of agricultural water use under both observed and future climate conditions is essential for identifying opportunities for water conservation and supporting sustainable farming practices. Howev...

This study examined the effects of different irrigation methods, water quality, and irrigation levels on yield components and water-use efficiency of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under semi-arid climate conditions. The m...

The current study will deal with the problem of natural resource degradation, presenting a new, multifaceted approach to the measurement of watershed health. This idea determines the capacity of a watershed to be structu...

Abstract This study evaluated spatiotemporal variations in drinking water quality, pollution levels, and heavy metal contamination in key rural water sources including, 23 dams, eight minor lakes, and three swamps. A tot...

PURPOSE: To develop and validate an automated computational tool for calculating a slice-specific volume computed tomography (CT) dose index (CTDIvol), a water-equivalent diameter (Dw), and size-specific dose estimates (...

IntroductionWater plays an extremely important role in agricultural production. However, the impact of the water resource tax reform on grain yield has not yet been fully investigated.MethodsTaking the pilot reform of wa...

This research examines the determinants of agricultural land prices in the Mendoza River Basin, with emphasis on the marginal contribution of irrigation water as a strategic resource in an arid context. An original geore...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the irrigation water quality of Kuzgun Dam, which supplies water to the agricultural lands of Daphan Plain, located in Erzurum Province, Türkiye. Water samples were collected from se...

IntroductionThis study attempted to explore the perception and experiences of facilitators and challenges in the implementation of modular, adaptive, and decentralized water infrastructure in the community. It also aimed...

The coal mining areas spanning the Inner Mongolia-Shaanxi border represent both a quintessential ecologically vulnerable zone and a critically important coal production base in China. However, large-scale, high-intensity...

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 ...

Agricultural production necessitates sustainable practices to ensure long-term and sustained food security. Water is a key ingredient for food production. Ensuring sustainable water management in agriculture is thus esse...

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a worldwide health concern that compromises the successful treatment of a growing array of infectious diseases, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. AMR is exaggera...

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...

Objective The Shanxi Formation, deposited during the critical transitional period from the sedimentary filling of epicontinental sea basins to the sedimentation of continental basins, exhibits well-developed shallow-wate...
