Agricultural smoke from rice residue fires is now regarded as a dominant source of India’s autumn haze. Yet, the degree to which yield-driven intensification amplifies this pollution remains uncertain. To assess this environmental issue, there is an urgent need to analyze long-term datasets and to develop fine-grained fire-severity mapping. This...

The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD), a cornerstone of national food security, is increasingly affected by salinity intrusion arising from the combined influences of upstream hydropower development, climate change, and sea-level rise. Despite growing attention to this issue, the long-term hydrological mechanisms shaping these changes remain...

This book deals with reclamation of abandoned mines and carbon capture neutralization. It discusses various mining technologies particularly in the treatment of chemicals in waste water and bacterial issues especially in acid mines drainage and reclamation of abandoned mines. The focus being on gold mines, the book looks at treatments from a...

Groundwater provides the principal irrigation lifeline for the semi-arid reaches of the Malwa Region of Northwestern India, yet its long-term sustainability remains increasingly uncertain. Using 25 years (2000–2024) of Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) monitoring-well data, this study mapped annual pre- and post-monsoon groundwater levels and...

Coastal wetlands serve as vital ecological buffer zones between marine and terrestrial systems, performing crucial roles in the protection of coastal erosion, wave and tsunami protection, and maintaining ecological functions. However, these important wetlands are increasingly being destroyed and incessantly threatened by human activities. The...

Study Region: The Ebinur Lake Watershed, located in Northwest China, serves as a crucial ecological barrier for the region. Study Focus: Over the past two decades, Ebinur Lake and its surrounding marshes have experienced a significant loss of water area due to excessive human exploitation and encroachment, resulting in severe ecological degradation...

Climate change and river flow alterations in the Mekong River have significantly exacerbated drought conditions in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD). Understanding the temporal dynamics and propagation mechanisms of drought, coupled with the compounded impacts of human activities, is crucial. This study analyzed meteorological (1992–2021) and...

Water insecurity, intensified by climate change, environmental degradation, and unsustainable resource management, poses a significant threat to human well-being in coastal regions. This study examines the interrelationships among water governance, household well-being, and water security in southwestern Bangladesh. Using a multistage sampling...

Countries at different stages of economic development face distinct challenges and opportunities in the transformation towards sustainability goals. High-income countries (HICs) are well-positioned to influence multilevel and multilateral governance, macroeconomic and fiscal policy to support sustainable financing in the global economic transition...

Urban wetlands provide vital ecosystem services such as habitat provision, water purification, flood regulation, climate regulation, food provision, and recreation. However, rapid urban expansion has placed tremendous pressure on urban wetland environments, leading to their shrinkage. East Kolkata Wetland (EKW), a Ramsar site near urban area noted...
