Water, energy, and agricultural infrastructure investments have important inter-relations fulfilling potentially competing objectives. When shaping investment plans, decision makers need to evaluate those interactions the associated uncertainties. We compare planning under uncertainty with an integrated water-energy-food nexus framework sector-centered (silo) frameworks. use WHAT-IF, open-sourc...

Hybrid materials, especially in the polymer field, have drawn the attention of many researchers as they enable the combination of properties of their organic and inorganic components to improve physical and chemical properties. 4 Nanoparticle organic hybrid materials (NOHMs) represent one of the new classes of such materials 21 that consist of polymer chains (canopy) grafted onto an inorganic n...

Although groundwater is a strategic source in volcanic islands, most hydrogeochemical research on this topic has been focused activity monitoring, overlooking general hydrogeological aspects. The same applies to one of the studied volcanoes world, Stromboli Island (Italy). Here, we provide scheme its coastal aquifer, retrieving inferences about potential use as water supply and for optimizing m...

Soil salinization is a widespread land degredation, especially in water-stressed regions, jeopardizing agriculture sustainability. Current desalinization methodology involves excessive water consumption. Biochar has the potential to mitigate soil while increasing holding capacity. As saline and sodic material, however, how it works whether can be used sustain at reduced resource remain studied....

Abstract The global shift from a fossil fuel-based to an electrical-based society is commonly viewed as ecological improvement. However, the electrical power industry major source of carbon dioxide emissions, and incorporating renewable energy can still negatively impact environment. Despite rising research in energy, consumption on environment poorly known. Here, we review integration energies...

a greenhouse experiment was conducted during the growing seasons (2008/2009 and 2009/2010) to investigate the effects of water quality and soil amendments, irrigation methods and rates on tomato (solanum lycopersicon l. cv. red gold) yield and water use efficiency (wue). irrigation management treatments were fresh (0.86 ds m-1) and saline waters (3.6 ds m-1), surface and subsurface irrigation m...

Purpose: analysis of problematic issues associated with the hydrochemistry natural waters and processes occurring in irrigation systems Rostov region. Discussion. The specificity growing crops irrigated agriculture has led to formation significant volumes drainage waste water (58676.5 thousand cub. m at level 2019). quality wastewaters is determined by groundwater intakes a seasonal character. ...
