Predicting runoff producing areas and their corresponding risks of generating storm runoff is important for developing watershed management strategies to mitigate non-point source pollution. However, few methods for making these predictions have been proposed, especially operational approaches that would be useful in areas where variable source area (VSA) hydrology dominates storm runoff. The o...

Owing to population growth and water demand, coastal aquifers all over the world are over–pumped, resulting in serious problems such as saltwater intrusion. So, in these conditions, assessing the groundwater system’s vulnerability and finding areas with saltwater intrusion potential are vital for the better management of aquifers. In this study, AHP-GALDIT was applied to saltwater intrusion vul...

Abstract Abandoned houses have become a common feature of the local landscapes: rising number abandoned is major challenge facing many counties in South Korea. Their presence negatively influences neighborhood by undermining its aesthetic quality, depreciating perception safety properties, and deepening fiscal deficit financing. The detection first step toward adequate housing management govern...

North Africa produces more than half of the world's atmospheric dust load. Once entrained into atmosphere, this poses a human health hazard locally. It also modifies radiative budget regionally, and supplies nutrients that fuel primary productivity across Atlantic Ocean as far afield Amazonian Basin. Dust accumulation in deep sea lacustrine sediments provides means to study changes palaeoclimat...
