Surface waters are the most important economic resource for humans which provide water for agricultural, industrial and anthropogenic activities. Surface water quality plays vital role in protecting aquatic ecosystems. Unplanned urbanization, intense agricultural activities and deforestation are positively associated with carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous related water quality parameters. Multip...

the growing population and increasing socio-economic necessitiescreates a pressure on land use/land cover. nowadays, land use change detection using remote sensing data provides quantitative and timely information for management and evaluation of natural resources. this study investigates the land use changes in part of hableh rood watershed of iran using landsat 7 and 8 (sensor etm+ and oli) i...

Environmental conditional cash transfers are popular but their impacts are not well understood. We evaluate land cover and wealth impacts of a federal program that pays landowners for protecting forest. Panel data for program beneficiaries and rejected applicants allows us to control for fixed differences and time trends affecting both groups. We find the program reduces the expected land cover...

bioethics is a novel branch in the field of applied normative ethics that analyze challenges and problems resulted from creation and development of new biotechnology. nowadays necessity of prohibition in some scope of bioethics is attracted by some legalists and moralists. in this direction, one of the related issue about bioethics is use of penal sanctions protecting these prohibitions. there ...

Industrial agricultural plantations are a rapidly increasing yet largely unmeasured source of tropical land cover change. Here, we evaluate impacts of oil palm plantation development on land cover, carbon flux, and agrarian community lands in West Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. With a spatially explicit land change/carbon bookkeeping model, parameterized using high-resolution satellite time ser...

The study aimed to determine the impact of sound land use management to the runoff in Kabuntalan, Maguindanao in Tamontaka river basin. This was done through simulation and the comparison of the three land cover scenarios such as 2015 land cover, 2025 projected land cover and desired land use to determine its difference in terms of runoff. Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modeling Syste...
