Rapid urbanization in China recent decades has given rise to increasingly serious ecological and environmental problems. Specifically, the provinces along Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) have experienced rapid urbanization, need take pro-active action balancing development with eco-environment conservation. This paper aims develop comprehensive (UAEE) evaluation models explore UAEE of SREB from 2004 2018. In terms methodology, these are subsequently combined CCDM (Coupling coordination degree...

Assessment of satellite precipitation products’ capability for monitoring drought is relatively new in tropical regions. The purpose this paper to evaluate the reliability Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) 3B43 product estimating standardized index (SPI) Kelantan River Basin, Malaysia from 1998 2014, by comparing it with data 42 rain gauges. Overall, TMPA-3B43 performed well monthly estimation, but moderately seasonal scale. Better...

Rivers are rich ecosystems and sources of life, providing many functions for the survival natural human systems. In Malaysia, due to poor management public apathy, they severely degraded. Rapid development urbanization have also overstressed polluted them, governance practices mostly focused on managing water shortages, floods, pollution. Limitations include low priority in political agenda, inadequate economic, managerial, resources, enforcement laws regulations, involvement, use...

Trends in precipitation and temperature extremes of the Muda River Basin (MRB) north-western Peninsular Malaysia were analyzed from 1985 to 2015. Daily climate data eight stations that passed high quality control four homogeneity tests (standard normal test, Pettitt Buishand range von Neumann ratio test) used calculate 22 Expert Team on Climate Change Detection Indices (ETCCDI) extreme indices. Non-parametric Mann–Kendall, modified Mann–Kendall Sens’ slope applied detect trend magnitude...

Soil salinity is a common global environmental problem that severely restricts industrial, agricultural and human development. In Northwest China, soil affecting the Lake Ebinur area needs to be monitored addressed. The use of optical remote sensing technology for timely accurate monitoring has great potentials can crucial industrial Optical an important data source salinization because its rich spectral information high-resolution. Based on HJ-1/HSI fractional derivative transformation,...

In disaster management, relocation/resettlement is more often seen as the worst option it gives impression that nothing else can be done about hazard and people have to moved. Relocation unpopular, plans relocate entire communities are costly, mainly because of need acquire alternative locations provision housing for those resettled. More significantly, at least on part being relocated, provokes social disruption upheaval when bundled into an alien environment. Notwithstanding influence...

Water crises are often of governance. To address interrelated issues securing access to sustainable sources safe water for the world’s populations, scholar and practitioners have suggested fostering improved modes governance that support implementation integrated resource management (IWRM). Recently, an IWRM approach was announced as a target achieving Goal 6 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study employs analytical hierarchy process with SWOT analysis assess current institutional...
