This essay examines the recent group exhibition SALTWATER / Interconnectivity co-curated by Katharine Losi Atafu-Mayo and Giles Peterson at Tautai Gallery in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand (October 16, 2020 to January 30, 2021), including its public talks, forums, performance activations. The was intended embody Moana worldview explore questions of justice, equity, identity, ecology through new...

To identify the causes of salinization and arsenic contamination of surface water on an embanked island (i.e., polder) in the tidal delta plain of SW Bangladesh we collected and analyzed water samples in the dry (May) and wet (October) seasons in 2012-2013. Samples were collected from rice paddies (wet season), saltwater ponds used for brine shrimp aquaculture (dry season), freshwater ponds and...

Over the past 5 years, parts of Oklahoma have experienced marked increases in the number of small- to moderate-sized earthquakes. In three study areas that encompass the vast majority of the recent seismicity, we show that the increases in seismicity follow 5- to 10-fold increases in the rates of saltwater disposal. Adjacent areas where there has been relatively little saltwater disposal have h...

Using the multiple hierarchy stratification perspective (MHSP), this paper investigated Americans’ freshwater and saltwater fishing participation in 2011. Data from the 2011 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation were examined using two hierarchical generalized linear models. Level 1 variables were age, education, sex (male, female), income, and race/ethnicity. ...

Abstract Irrigation with water containing salt in excess can affect crop development. This be due to unsustainable irrigation or the itself had higher content. Water scarcity around globe may also lead using that contains salt. Thus this research was conducted determine threshold value of salinity enable maize maintain acceptable growth and measure yield saline water. Treatments laid out a Comp...

Variable-density groundwater flow models are often used to understand the complex nature of coastal groundwater systems. Hydrodynamic dispersion is a difficult process to represent with a model because of spatially varying hydraulic conductivity and temporally varying hydrologic boundary conditions. Temporal variations in water levels, for example, that occur in the field are often averaged int...

The Bhumibol Dam on Ping River, Thailand, was constructed in 1964 to provide water for irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, flood mitigation, fisheries, and saltwater intrusion control the Great Chao Phraya River basin. Many studies, carried out near basin outlet, have suggested that dam impounds significant sediment, resulting shoreline retreat of Delta. In this study, impact damming se...

[1] The mixing zone between freshwater and seawater in a coastal aquifer is an important transition region that controls regional groundwater flow dynamics and reactive transport processes. While experimental procedures have been developed to study the movement of salt wedges in aquifers, so far no one has attempted to exclusivelymap themixing zone associated with the wedge in a laboratory-scal...
