Due to the increases in agriculture and industry sector as well high population, lack of water is becoming a major problem Middle East especially arid regions. Saudi Arabia needs more groundwater research explorations because its higher use no source freshwater. Assessing zonation semi-arid locations essential due significant degree variation depth, aquifer features, topographical characteristics, insufficient precipitation. Mapping prospective zones Al Qunfudhah region southwestern has...
Egypt faces a rapidly increasing deterioration of its surface water owing to the discharges contaminated effluents. The present study focuses on assessing levels toxic heavy metals and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in water, sediments Phragmites australis freshwater marine environments at Rosetta area. Fourteen sites were sampled including 4 within environment 10 distributed along River Nile. Potential sources pollution spatially assessed using remote sensing geographic information system...
Abstract Lake Burullus is a coastal wetland and protected area on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt. Despite importance this lake to livelihood millions Egyptians, intensive anthropogenic activities drainage water input have impacted its quality. The current work aimed evaluate distribution composition microplastics (MPs) in analyze impact non-point pollution sources their fate. results showed that average concentration MPs open was significantly lower (165.0 MPs/m 3 ) than near drains (835.6...
Abstract Soil salinization affects negatively on agricultural productivity in the semiarid region of Ningxia. In this study, performance inversion model to determine soil was assessed using some analysis and reflectance wavelength. About 42 vegetation samples were collected for extraction. Hyper-spectral data processing method used analyze spectral characteristics different levels area vegetation. Spectral transformed 16 approaches, including root mean squares, logarithm, first-order...
Abstract Major driving forces can alter Land use/Land cover (LULC) dynamics and affect landscape sustainability around the Nile Delta of Egypt. The present study aims at evaluating mapping changes in LULC assessing Surface Temperature (LST) two branches Delta, Egypt using Landsat data GIS. Calibrated images were acquired on 2000, 2014 2019 processed to produce LULC, environmental indices LST, respectively, ENVI 5.3. ArcGIS 10.1 was used extract a transition map from 2000 branches. results...
Abstract Land use/land cover change (LUCC) and climate changes are responsible for degradation of any ecosystem in arid semi-arid regions. Studying the ecological variations is particularly essential type sustainable development, which LUCC considers as one chief inputs. The main objective to evaluate impacts climatic on Ecosystem Vulnerability (E S V) using remote sensing some statistical models around Yellow River, Ningxia, China. Eleven classes were identified during 1995 2019: village...
Abstract Coastal ecosystems are characterized by high content of soil carbon storage; however, they experience severe land conversions in the past decades. The current study aims to examine how different use/land cover (LU/LC) impact stock coastal ecosystem along Jazan coast, Saudi Arabia. In this study, impacts LU/LC on stocks zone Jazan, Arabia 2009, 2013, and 2021 were assessed. Also, dynamics evaluated using data provided use dynamic model. modelled based InVEST program. Our results...
Kitchener drain is one of the largest drains in Nile Delta. It discharges water directly into Mediterranean Sea affecting on marine environment. Local population uses its irrigation and agriculture field along this drain. So it’s important to determine heavy metal content agricultural soils used process assess hazard cancer risk human health living these areas. Six metals (Fe, Cd, Pb, Ni, Cr Co) total available form were determined eight geo-referenced soil samples. The order was as follow;...
This investigation aims to assess the changes of Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) and its impact on ecosystem services value in Damietta Governorate, Egypt. To fulfill this aim, Landsat data TM5 2001, ETM 2011 OLI 2021 were used. The Maximum Likelihood Classifier was employed track LULC study area. Cellular automata (CA) Markov model adopted from IDRISI software used for accurate prediction 2031. VALIDATE TerrSet compare predicted 2031 with actual accuracy model. Millennium Ecosystem Assessment...
Present study aims to assess the possible toxic metal hazard of Pb, Cd and Fe in street dust soil on environment human health at northern Deltaic region Egypt using spatial statistical analyses. To achieve this aim, 13 different sites were sampled for represent various residential, industrial agricultural activities. Unsupervised classification multispectral Landsat OLI image (March 2021) helped identify sampling sites. Heavy metals evaluated environmental risk indices incorporated a GIS...
