This paper reports the formulation and application of a framework of catchment-level water resource management indicators designed to integrate environmental, economic and social aspects of sustainability. The framework of nine indicators was applied to the River Dee and River Sinos catchments in Scotland and Brazil, respectively, following an indicator selection process that involved inputs fr...

Rivers are discussed as sources of water supply for various uses including agriculture, industry anddrinking. Thus, monitoring the quality of these resources due to the recent drought and urban and ruraldevelopment is one of the important tasks in the field of environmental management. In this study,nine stations sampled seasonally the Karoon river, Dez, Karkheh in a one-year period from Octobe...

The research deals with studying the indicators of environmental quality life and focusing on thermal comfort as one most important that have a direct impact urban formation in spaces. By examining role, it plays achieving at peak summer times difficult days year for vacuum users terms feeling comfortable satisfied. Where four main elements were identified being influential form space, (dimensi...

Urbanization is an inevitable trend in historical development, but eco-environmental problems, including drinking water safety, have gradually become more and more outstanding during the process of rural urbanization. Ten districts in rural areas of Beijing, China were selected to study the effects of urbanization on drinking water quality. The relation between the urbanization index and drinki...

Despite the importance of prokaryotes in aquatic ecosystem and their predictable diversity patterns across space time, biomonitoring tools relying on are widely lacking. Using metabarcoding, as well other molecular methods, we were able to identify multiple prokaryotic descriptors illustrate reliability advantages environmental assessment. Multivariate statistical machine learning methods combi...

maharlou-bakhtegan catchment in the southern part of iran is faced with water scarcity.this problem is exacerbated by environmental degradation, climate change effects, mismanagementof water resources, along with a major dependence of water demand supplies on the limitedgroundwater resources. in this study, a combined approach of dpsir model along with the scenarioanalysis was employed to deriv...
