Abstract The study explores the factors affecting sedimentation trends in surrounding catchment area of Tarbela Dam for period 1980–2017, specifically rain and temperature. Furthermore, this also investigates seasonal effects sediment loads coming into reservoir from 2007 to 2012. statistical techniques were applied estimation climate (rainfall temperature) on inflow its area. results revealed that deposition pattern points toward greater bed elevation at 7–12 range lines lie near Main...
Abstract Sustainable and water-wise cities maintain an eco-friendly urban hydrological cycle (UHC). Regrettably, the UHC of Pakistani is not consistently eco-friendly. Pakistan situated within influential area world's largest monsoon weather system. Cities like Lahore face simultaneous vulnerabilities to flooding water scarcity due extreme climate change events. Therefore, Pakistan's areas necessitate Urban Water Infrastructural Transformation (UWIT), achievable only after identifying...
Anthropogenic activities can greatly influence the lake ecosystems across globe. Within these ecosystems, impacts of human are most evident on sedimentation, light and nutrient availability, disturbance frequency. There have been times natural environmental healing reservoirs present research aims to explore variations in water quality Tarbela reservoir, Pakistan largest rock-filled dam world, from 1990 2020. Landsat imagery (Landsat 4-5, 5, 7 8) was used monitor Land Use Cover (LULC),...
Shrinkage of urban green space has led to the disruption ecological balance.Population growth, industrial expansion, development activities and land encroachment reduce vegetation cover metropolitan cities including Lahore, Pakistan.Presently, Lahore is on top all in world having worst air quality index (AQI).Thus, monitoring areas ultimate need day for conservation protection environment which also agenda new government (Clean Green Pakistan).Besides, Honorable High Court passed an order...
The entire world is collectively facing the problem of climate change. deterioration earth's change being noticed and felt most apparently in Southeast Asia predominantly Pakistan. Pakistan a victim change, due to which faces several geographical, political, economic even social problems. harmful impacts form smog abnormal heat waves have claimed life many Pakistanis. Climate has brought disastrous impact on agrarian economy Pakistan, plunged country into awful straits. Climatic slow...
Aridity is a severe threat to the ecological environment and it leads desertification. has become more serious hazard agricultural countries like Pakistan, followed by socio-economic problems. Pakistan an agrarian country Punjab province of known as basket grain for its population due fertile lands lush green fields. Less or no rainfall can convert any land region from humid semi-arid arid land. Deficiency moisture also defines conditions region. Hence, in case Punjab, aridity halt use full...
The death rate of people is increasing globally during the current outbreak coronavirus. To combat with COVID-19 havoc, world has adopted lockdown policy including Pakistan. Ironically, invisible virus suffocating humans at a fast but on other side, there another visible monster in gobbling up human's health i.e. air pollution. Therefore, main rationale present research to visualize quality by mapping via online tools and techniques using geospatial system 'Lockdown' period Lahore, According...
Brick sector is a mainstay of the urban economy Punjab. The traditional technology brick making emits lot toxic gases and smoke particulates into air. Hence, Government Punjab, Pakistan announced ban on low kiln operations during winter season by end December 2020. Initially, existing set up kilns air pollution levels were evaluated before lockdown period using spatial application. Further, environmental parameters such as aerosols, carbon monoxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide determined to...
Hepatitis C, caused by the C Virus (HCV), is second most common form of viral hepatitis. The geographical distribution HCV genotypes can be quite complex, making it challenging to ascertain prevalent genotype in a specific area. To address this, review was conducted determine prevalence across various provinces and as whole Pakistan. scientific literature regarding prevalence, distribution, genotyping, epidemiology gathered from published articles spanning years 1996 2020. Genotype 1...
The study is a comparative analysis of water quality among two variant areas Lahore. There are several problems regarding drinking facilities. Drinkable can be contaminated due to various reasons. Thus, the highlights infrastructural causes (material pipes and outdated pipes) contamination. Wall City Gulberg this research. area far much better in terms as compared wall city. Under study, four parameters were selected for pH, Total dissolved solids, E.coli Arsenic. 13 samples collected from...
Investigation of the fluctuations in snow-covered area major glaciers Karakoram range is essential for proper water resource management Pakistan, since its are responding differently to rising temperatures. The objective this paper map snow covered Hispar glacier Hunza river basin years 1990, 2010 and 2018. Two techniques, (NDPCSI) Normalized Difference Principal Component Snow Index (NDSI) were used. has lost 114 km2 ice cover area, during last 28 years, with an alarming annual retreat rate...
In 21st century, cities outpaced in size and also density due to development of economic sector.Consequently, the wide spread expansion urban areas is resulting loss productive green cover waterbodies. Therefore, realizing this alarming situation, present study aimed investigate evaluate pattern ofurban by considering two major land types (i) built-up area (ii) other classes (vegetation, waterbody,soil etc.) during last six years (2015-2020). For Sentinel imagery was acquired from USGS...
Aerosol aggravation poses a significant challenge in the administrative Lahore Division of Punjab, Pakistan and contributes greatly to persistent issue smog. Since 2017, division has experienced recurrent episodes smog pollution, most notably months October November. In present study, aerosol optical depth (AOD) been analyzed alongside three metrological parameters: temperature, humidity rainfall. These were tracked November 2018, 2020, 2022 using remote sensing data satellite imaging....

Coronavirus and air pollution,having a positive correlation, are inauspiciouslythe greatest challenge of the millennium. Therefore, study presented initial outcomes from analysis COVID-19 impact on (1) qualityand, (2)informal sector i.e. old technology brick kiln industry. In order to evaluate progress, spatial was carried out,comprising aerosol optical depth, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, dioxide ozone with inclusion metrological element rainfall environmental index (NDVI). The results...
