Environmental degradation of clayey rocks

Intrinsic degradation of volatile fatty acids in laboratory-compacted clayey soil.

Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) represent the major organic constituent of landfill leachate and provide the greatest potential for leachate induced organic contamination of groundwater (e.g. as represented by an increase in the concentration of dissolved organic carbon and chemical oxygen demand). Long-term diffusion tests were performed for laboratory-compacted clayey soil plugs exposed to contin...

Environmental assessment for predicting groundwater degradation of “Rey” municipality

Clean drinking water for the municipality of “Rey” with population of over one million remains a critical and serious problem. In particular, Rey’s continued water demands has caused a substantially high drop in its local groundwater level. With running this study, we can appropriately predict the quality of groundwater in Rey. In this study, we have considered presence of nit...

Environmental Degradation and Social Integration

The United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) is an autonomous agency engaging in multidisciplinary research on the social dimensions of contemporary problems affecting development. Its work is guided by the conviction that, for effective development policies to be formulated, an understanding of the social and political context is crucial. The Institute attempts to prov...

Environmental Degradation and Occupational Dynam

This paper examines the resultant impact of environmental degradation on the temporal dynamics in between 2001 and 2006. Data for the study are from both primary and secondary sources. The primary source is the survey of selected settlements and heads of households in which a questi technique was employed in the selection of sample. This involves a systematic random selection of 785 heads of ho...
