Because of the impacts of the growing population in Lebanon together with the changing climate, the Bekaa Valley’s water resources is in a precarious situation. In this study, the impacts on water balance and water quality for a 2013 baseline and future scenarios are simulated using the Water Evaluation And Planning model.
Visulaization tool for wastewater pollution, that maps the sources and destinations of nitrogen created by researchers at UC Santa Barbara
The authors use use a new high-resolution geospatial model to measure and map nitrogen (N) and pathogen—fecal indicator organisms (FIO)—inputs from human sewage for ~135,000 watersheds globally to assess the the potential impacts of human sewage on coastal ecosystems.
Focusing on water, the authors investigate the extent to which the spatial variation in the availability of water is linked with children’s malnutrition in the Sahel, using remotely sensed-based measures of waterholes with health survey data.
The pre‐ and post‐dam differences in per capita land holdings, annual incomes, expenditures, and social capital of those resettled were analysed based on household‐level data collected from the resettlement communities using semi‐structured interviews and in‐depth questionnaires, at a household level using the sustainable livelihoods framework.
The author details four specific threats to human survival (or, at least, quality of survival) that are directly linked to population growth.
For the last three decades, rapid and uncontrolled urbanization has given rise to “ghost cities” in China. A framework to monitor “ghost cities” in Yangtze River Delta was proposed based on multi-source remote sensing datasets, including nighttime light imagery, land cover type products and population grid.
The study uses satellite imagery of war-torn Syria, to show how conflict and migration caused sudden reductions in Syrian agricultural land use and water use.
Using the Interior Plains, the largest physiographic division of the US as study area, this paper investigates how political fragmentation in local governance can affect land use patterns through a watershed-level analysis of population and employment density changes.
In this paper, the model is analyzed using stability theory of differential equations with rsults showing that increase in human population intensify the depletion in concentration of dissolved oxygen in a water body.
