1. 16. As I live and breathe! : The effects of hypolimnic oxygenation on benthic macroinvertebrate and zooplankton assemblages

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Rashid Kadhim; [2022]
   Keywords : lake hypoxia; benthic macroinvertebrates; chironomids; zooplankton;

   Abstract : Exacerbated deep-water hypoxia, brought about by anthropogenic-derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) input, has potentially detrimental impacts on organisms residing in freshwater ecosystems. Oxygenation of the water column is a potential management strategy to mitigate this impact, and used to alleviate DOC induced oxygen depletion. READ MORE

3. 17. Water Scarcity and Development A case study of the Euphrates water shortages and their implications on northern Syria.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Graduate School

   Author : Yazan Najy; [2022]
   Keywords : Water Scarcity; Euphrates River; Sustainable Development Goals SDGs ; Northern Syria; Water; Energy and Food Nexus WEF .; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : In yet another alarming development in Syria, the waters of the Euphrates River have declined to critically low levels in 2021. The unprecedented low water levels of the Euphrates put nearly 5.5 million Syrians at risk as they depend on the Euphrates basin for drinking water and agricultural production. READ MORE

4. 18. Evaluation of Crop Water Use and Rice Yield Using Remote Sensing and AquaCrop Model for Three Irrigation Schemes in Sri Lanka

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Veronika Widengren; [2022]
   Keywords : WaPOR; remote sensing; evapotranspiration; crop water productivity; irrigation scheme; AquaCrop; Malwathu Oya; Sri Lanka; paddy rice; humid tropical climate; WaPOR; fjärranalys; evapotranspiration; vattenproduktivitet; bevattningssystem; AquaCrop; Malwathu Oya; Sri Lanka; ris; fuktigt tropiskt klimat;

   Abstract : With a changing climate and an increased competition over water resources for agricultural irrigation, the need to improve crop water productivity using time and cost-efficient methodologies have become critically important. The Malwathu Oya river basin in Sri Lanka is struggling with water scarcity, which threatens food security and the income of farmers. READ MORE

5. 19. Improved Understanding of Water Balance in the Malwathu Oya River Basin Using SWAT and Remote Sensing

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Alexander Fors; [2022]
   Keywords : actual evapotranspiration; Malwathu Oya; remote sensing; Sri Lanka; SWAT modelling; SWAT calibration; WaPOR; water balance; faktisk evapotranspiration; fjärranalys; Malwathu Oya; Sri Lanka; SWAT-modellering; SWAT-kalibrering; vattenbalans; WaPOR;

   Abstract : As the need for climatic data is increasing in times of climate change and water scarcity, remote sensing (RS) and hydrological modelling are ways to battle these problems, especially in data scarce areas. The actual evapotranspiration (ETa) is one of the key parameters when assessing the water balance and a good estimate of this parameter is thus of great importance. READ MORE

6. 20. Complexity of improvement : a sustainability analysis of the park along Riachuelo river connected to marginalized areas in Buenos Aires

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

   Author : Anna Jogefalk; Cassandra W. Kallifatides; [2022]
   Keywords : Landscape architecture; urban planning; informal settlement; water pollution; sustainability; Riachuelo river; Buenos Aries; Argentina;

   Abstract : The Riachuelo river in Buenos Aires was considered one of the most polluted watersheds in the world, where industries, sewers and illegal dumping have contaminated the river for over 200 years. Over 8 million people live in the Matanza-Riachuelo Basin, many of which live in informal settlements without official waste management, sanitation- or water systems. READ MORE
