Degradation of freshwater ecosystems and the services they provide is a primary cause increasing water insecurity, raising need for integrated solutions to management. While methods characterizing multi-faceted challenges managing abound, tend emphasize either social or ecological dimensions fall short being truly integrative. This paper suggests that management sustainability systems needs consider linkages between human uses, governance. We present conceptualization resources as part an...
Textile manufacturing is a multi-stage operation process that produces significant amounts of highly toxic wastewater. Given the size global textile market and its environmental impact, development effective, economical, easy-to handle alternative treatment technologies for wastewater interest. Based on analysis peer-reviewed publications over last two decades, this paper provides comprehensive review advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) treatment, including their performances, mechanisms,...
Managing transboundary river basins requires balancing tradeoffs of sustainable water use and coping with climate uncertainty. We demonstrate an integrated approach to exploring these issues through the lens a social-ecological system, combining remote in-situ earth observations, hydrologic models, social surveys. Specifically, we examine how change dam development could impact Se Kong, San Sre Pok rivers in Mekong region. find that will lead increased precipitation, necessitating shift...
Rivers, wetlands, lakes, and other freshwater ecosystems collectively cover only 1% of the Earth's surface. Yet, these support a disproportionately large vast array biodiversity. Currently, face many threats, including pollution, habitat alteration, fragmentation, invasive species, overexploitation, overabstraction, climate change, emerging stressors. According to World Wide Fund for Nature's Living Planet Index, biodiversity are considered among most threatened on planet, with average...
Water crises in Latin America are more a consequence of poor management than resource scarcity. Addressing water issues through better coordination, identification problems and solutions, agreement on common objectives to operationalize integrated resources (IWRM) could greatly improve governance the region. Composite indices have great potential help overcome capacity information challenges while supporting IWRM. We applied one such index, Freshwater Health Index (FHI) three river basins...
Natural ecosystems are fundamental to local water cycles and the ecosystem services that humans enjoy, such as provision, outdoor recreation, flood protection. However, integrating into resources management requires they be acknowledged, quantified, communicated decision-makers. We present an indicator framework incorporates supply of, demand for, services. This provides initial diagnostic for resource managers a mechanism evaluating tradeoffs through future scenarios. Building on risk...
Ecosystems provide a range of services, including water purification, erosion prevention, and flood risk mitigation, that are important to resource managers. But as sector, resources management has been slow incorporate ecosystem protection restoration, for variety reasons, although related concepts such nature-based solutions green infrastructure gaining traction. We explain some the existing challenges wider uptake services concept in introduce promising avenues research practice,...
Sustainable watershed management requires effective stakeholder engagement and knowledge co-production. Currently, most methods for co-production in the field are case-specific, applied an ad hoc manner, not tested across various spatial scales or water contexts. Moreover, these often evaluated, limiting our ability to learn from adapt them. We critically assess Freshwater Health Index (FHI), indicator-based platform co-production, which has been a variety of social-ecological systems. Using...
Abstract Concerns over water scarcity, climate change, and environmental health risks have prompted some Asian cities to invest in river rehabilitation, but deciding on the end goals of rehabilitation is a complex undertaking. We propose multidisciplinary framework linking riparian landscape change human well‐being, providing information relevant decision makers, format that facilitates stakeholder involvement. illustrate this through case study densely settled, environmentally degraded,...
Sustainable water resource management is a wicked problem, fraught with uncertainties, an indeterminate scope, and divergent social values interests among stakeholders. To facilitate better of Southeast Asia’s transboundary Sesan, Sekong Srepok (3S) River basin, we used the Freshwater Health Index (FHI) to diagnose basin’s current likely future level freshwater health. We conditions for December 2016 as baseline, where Ecosystem Vitality Services scored 66 80, respectively, out possible 100,...
This paper examines urban waterfront rehabilitation as a sustainable development strategy in Chinese cities. Though is increasingly being employed developed world cities, the environmental benefits are not always clear. Nonetheless, China, like other developing countries, has shown interest this strategy, for improving its local water quality, upgrading management, and quality of life residents. As cities struggle to break from traditional model 'pollute first, clean up later', it critical...
