Evaluating Water Resource Accessibility in Southwest China - MDPI The accessibility, quantity, and quality of water resources are the basic requirements for guaranteeing water resource security Research into regional water resource accessibility will contribute to improving regional water resource security and effective water resource management In this study, we used a water resource accessibility index model considering five spatial factors to evaluate
USLE-Based Assessment of Soil Erosion by Water in the Nyabarongo River . . . Soil erosion has become a serious problem in recent decades due to unhalted trends of unsustainable land use practices Assessment of soil erosion is a prominent tool in planning and conservation of soil and water resource ecosystems The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) was applied to Nyabarongo River Catchment that drains about 8413 75 km2 (33%) of the total Rwanda coverage and a small
Urban Planning and Sustainable Storm Water Management: Gaps and . . . - MDPI While climate change urges cities to define appropriate strategies for climate adaptation, urban planning practices are still unable to encompass a broader understanding of hydraulic hazards and to exploit the mitigation potential of nature-based solutions (NBS) for stormwater management This inability is particularly deep in the Italian context, where the integration of climate adaptation
Bacterial Contamination of Drinking Water in Guadalajara, Mexico - MDPI In many regions where drinking water supply is intermittent and unreliable, households adapt by storing water in cisterns or rooftop tanks Both intermittent supply and stored water can be vulnerable to contamination by microorganisms with deleterious health effects The Metropolitan Zone of Guadalajara is a rapidly growing urban center with over five million residents where household storage
Disproportionate Impacts of Wildfires among Elderly and Low-Income . . . Wildfires can be detrimental to urban and rural communities, causing impacts in the form of psychological stress, direct physical injury, and smoke-related morbidity and mortality This study examined the area burned by wildfires over the entire state of California from the years 2000 to 2020 in order to quantify and identify whether burned area and fire frequency differed across Census tracts
Sentinel-2 Application to the Surface Characterization of Small Water . . . Developing indicators to monitor environmental change in wetlands with the aid of Earth Observation Systems can help to obtain spatial data that is not feasible with in situ measures (e g , flooding patterns) In this study, we aim to test Sentinel-2A B images suitability for detecting small water bodies in wetlands characterized by high diversity of temporal and spatial flooding patterns
The Spatiotemporal Variation Characteristics and Influencing Factors of . . . Green vegetation is one of the main objects of ecological environment restoration and protection, objectively reflecting the quality of regional ecological environments Studying its spatial distribution characteristics is of great significance to the formulation of ecological environment restoration policies Based on data on urban green vegetation in China from 2000 to 2022, this study
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Community Water . . . - MDPI Thyroid cancer incidence has been steadily increasing over the past decade in the United States (US) A discussion exists regarding the potential contribution of exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, encompassing certain per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) This ecological study evaluated the potential correlation between PFAS levels in drinking water and thyroid cancer
Runoff Harvesting Site Suitability Analysis for Wildlife in Sub-Desert . . . Site selection for runoff harvesting at large scales is a very complex task It requires inclusion and spatial analysis of a multitude of accurately measured parameters in a time-efficient manner Compared with direct measurements of runoff, which is time consuming and costly, a combination of a Geographic Information System (GIS) and multi-criteria techniques have proven feasible to address
