Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive review of dynamic soil–foundation–structure interaction (SFSI) and structure–soil–structure interaction (SSSI) as addressed in modern seismic design codes and numerical simulation approaches. The investigation focuses on how SFSI and SSSI phenomena affect the vibrational response of structures under seismic loading. We employed a systematic methodology to select relevant literature and code provisions, analysing their treatment of interaction effects and comparing simulation results. Numerical studies, design standards, and experimental validations were considered to evaluate the implications of ignoring or incorporating interaction effects in structural design. Key findings indicate that while most codes provide procedures to account for SFSI, SSSI effects remain largely overlooked. Furthermore, current methods often assume linear soil behaviour, limiting their applicability to real- world conditions. Experimental results from centrifuge modelling and shaking table tests demonstrate that nonlinear soil behaviour and foundation flexibility can significantly alter seismic response. The SFSI has been found to reduce seismic demand through energy dissipation mechanisms such as rocking, while SSSI can either amplify or mitigate response depending on relative mass and stiffness. Despite these critical impacts, current design practices often neglect such interactions, particularly in densely built environments. These findings underline the necessity of integrating SFSI and SSSI into seismic analysis frameworks for safer and more accurate performance-based design. The review highlights the need for comprehensive models and experimental validation to support the development of more resilient design practices.

Abstract

Adsorption is a surface-based process employed for the removal of contaminants. The process uses organic materials as bioadsorbents. Most adsorption studies have been conducted at the laboratory scale; therefore, few studies have aimed to predict process behaviour and the efficiency of bioadsorbents at an industrial scale. Therefore, the objective of this study is to model a column for the removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution using cocoa residues as an adsorbent material on an industrial scale. To this end, Aspen Adsorption was used to stimulate the column at large scale, evaluating the effects of variations in the inlet flow rate, bed height, and initial concentration of Cr(VI) on the adsorption. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied, with the linear driving force (LDF) used as the kinetic model. The results showed removal efficiencies of up to 94.73% for the Langmuir–LDF model and up to 95.85% for the Freundlich–LDF model. The adsorption column simulation conditions that yielded the best results for both models included a bed height of 5 m, an initial concentration of Cr(VI) of 5,000 mg∙dm−3, and an inlet flow rate to the adsorption column of 100 m3∙day−1. This study represents as a novel approach within the field of engineering, demonstrating how computational tools can effectively predict the performance of adsorption columns packed with organic waste-based biomasses.

Abstract

This paper focuses on the analysis of the concentration of heavy metals in sewage treated at the municipal collective two-stage wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The quality of raw sewage, mechanically treated sewage and totally treated sewage were tested. Heavy metals concentrations in sewage were in order Zn > Mn > Cu > Ni > Pb > Cr > Cd. A subsequent treatment stages gradually reduced metals concentrations, but the role of a mechanical treatment was not significant. The order of percentage reduction as a result of the total mechanical-biological treatment was Cr > Cd > Zn > Cu > Pb > Ni > Mn, which means that it was not consistent with the order of metals concentrations. It was found that totally treated sewage were characterised by greater variability in metal concentrations than raw sewage and mechanically treated sewage. Among the tested elements, the exception was Mn, with not only the lowest percentage reduction, but also with the most even concentrations level (low or average variability), while Cd and then, Cr, were characterised by the greatest differences in concentrations. Additionally, the following dependence was found: the greater WWTP hydraulic load, the greater heavy metals concentrations. Importantly, sewage met the legal requirements regarding to the permissible levels of heavy metals concentrations.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between urban development, water resource management approaches, and changing precipitation patterns across seven diverse cities worldwide. The research quantified how urbanisation altered watershed hydrology, with impervious surface increases of 12.5–37.7% in transitional watersheds reducing infiltration by 17% and increasing peak discharges by 28% compared to pre-development conditions. Analysis of 34 years of precipitation data (1990–2023) revealed significant intensification trends, with 95th percentile rainfall events increasing by 15.2–38.5% across study sites despite variable changes in annual precipitation totals. Four water management approaches –conventional, integrated water resources management (IWRM), water sensitive urban design (WSUD), and hybrid systems – were systematically evaluated across 21 watersheds using field monitoring and SWAT+ hydrological modelling. Hybrid approaches combining IWRM and WSUD elements demonstrated superior performance, reducing peak flows by 68.5% under typical conditions and maintaining 45.7% effectiveness under projected climate scenarios, compared to 28.5% and 5.8% respectively for conventional approaches. Management efficacy varied significantly by urban development stage, with interventions in peri-urban watersheds showing 53.6% higher effectiveness and 55.7% lower implementation costs than in highly urbanised areas. The optimal configuration of management approaches depended on local precipitation patterns, with high-intensity rainfall regions benefiting from WSUD-dominant systems while frequent, lower-intensity precipitation areas favoured IWRM-dominant approaches. These findings highlight the necessity of context-specific water management strategies that integrate structural and policy frameworks to effectively address the dynamic challenges of urban water systems under changing precipitation regimes.

Abstract

One of the key causes of floods is the reduced river storage capacity due to sedimentation. In this context, an oxbow lake currently functions as a retention pond, serving as an alternative nature-based solution (NbS). However, because retention ponds are highly susceptible to sediment accumulation, it is crucial to undertake a comprehensive study to develop effective strategies for managing flooding and sedimentation. This study aimed to establish a sediment rating curve and a sediment transport model for the Krueng Peuto River. The sediment rating curve, which describes the relationship between flow discharge and sediment discharge, is a crucial component of the analysis. In this study, sediment transport was modelled using the HEC-RAS 6.1 application. This application is capable of dynamically updating and more accurately approximating the channel morphology as the simulation progresses,, making it very useful for long-term analyses of riverbed morphology changes due to sediment transport. The results indicated that the sediment shear stress was greater than the critical shear stress (τ0 > τc), confirming that sediment transport occurs in the Krueng Peuto River. The sediment rating curve showed the following polynomial regression equation obtained of Qs = 0.0142Qw2 − 4.485Qw (upstream) and Qs = 0.0093Qw2 + 4.653Qw (downstream), with a coefficient of determination of 0.9957 (upstream) and 0.9995 (downstream), and Qs is the sediment discharge and Qw is the water discharge respectively. The modelling of sediment transport also revealed significant changes in the channel bottom. These findings have practical implications for flood risk management, Offering valuable insights for relevant stakeholders to develop strategies aimed at preventing and mitigating the adverse effects of sedimentation in the area.

Abstract

This research departs from the tendency of a healthy lifestyle. This study aims to analyse organic rice production activities and conservation-based agricultural techniques. A qualitative method has been used in the research. The informants consisted of the chairman of the farmer group, members, and the guardian (wali) of the Nagari. The research was conducted in Jorong (hamlet) Bansa, Nagari (village) Kamang Tangah Anam Suku, Kamang Magek District, Agam Regency, West Sumatra. The results and discussions show that organic rice farming activities were generally understood as the process of producing organic rice only. However, after conducting field research, it was found that there was an innovation in organic rice farming carried out by the Sawah Bangsa Farmer Group. Organic rice farming is only one of the links in the organic farming system (sustainable agriculture/circular agriculture). If relying on the organic rice production sales alone cannot prosper farmers, organic rice farming innovations can empower and improve farmers’ welfare. The important point of innovation lies in the added value in the form of sales: organic rice, finished compost, two decomposers (compost makers), namely Trichoderma and DD Farm, local bio-agents/microorganisms, namely jakaba (Corallomycetella repens, eternal lucky mushroom), ecoenzymes, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, beuforia, and biosaka which are all produced by the Sawah Bangsa Farmer Group. Theoretically, this research has contributed to the fact that organic rice farming has a long chain. Practically, the results of this study contribute to the idea that organic rice farming is not as difficult as people imagine it to be.

Abstract

 The in site ration system (IRS) is an innovative forage production strategy designed to optimise livestock nutrition by integrating multiple forage species with complementary agronomic and nutritional characteristics. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of a balanced forage ration using IRS on sheep nutritional quality, digestibility, fermentability, and gas emission. The research was conducted at the Jonggol Animal Science, Teaching, and Research Unit, IPB University, where Urochloa hybrid cv. ‘Mulato II’ (U. ruziziensis × U. decumbens × U. brizantha), Pennisetum purpureum cv. ‘Thailand’, P. purpureum cv. ‘Mott’, and Indigofera zollingeriana were cultivated. The research evaluated the impact of varying levels of I. zollingeriana supplementation (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%) on in vitro digestibility, ruminal fermentation parameters, gas production, and methane production. Results demonstrated that increasing I. zollingeriana supplementation significantly improved in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) and in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD), with the highest values recorded in the 20% I. zollingeriana ration (70.4 and 69.4%, respectively). Additionally, total volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations increased proportionally with I. zollingeriana levels, although led to increased gas and methane production, with the 20% I. zollingeriana ration showing the highest methane output at 2.35 cm3. These findings highlight the potential of IRS to enhance forage quality and nutrient utilisation through several grasses and legume species cultivation in a location that increased ruminal digestibility and fermentation efficiency. Further research is needed to mitigate the potential forage that minimises gas and methane production.

Abstract

The Algerian steppe rangelands especially located in the southern region of Tlemcen province, the primary areas for extensive sheep farming, play a crucial role in the national agricultural economy. However, the inadequate management of water resources for the country’s development is frequently neglected by local authorities. It is essential to quantify and manage this resource as rigorously as possible. The study area, covering approximately 3200 km2, includes five municipalities (Sebdou, Sidi Djilali, El Gor, El Bouihi, El Aricha) in the southern region of Tlemcen province (Algeria). The main objective of this study is to locate (georeferencing) all existing water points managed by the government (boreholes, wells, springs, etc.) and characterise their flow rate, depth, etc., in order to insure a sustainable management of the water resource. Over 119 water points have been identified, located and integrated into a database within a geographic information system (GIS) to create a georeferenced database. Moreover, the results (the database) are used for further spatial analysis using the k-means clustering algorithm. By applying this unsupervised classification method, the study successfully delineates clusters of water points that require similar management strategies. The resulting maps are intended to support local decision-makers in implementing more effective and sustainable water resource management practices tailored to the specific characteristics of each zone.

Abstract

Ferrisia virgata (Cockerell) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), known as the striped mealybug, is a common pest on mango trees. This pest feeds on sap, leading to tree weakening trees, and extreme case causing their death. Infestation leads to the formation of cottony masses on mango fruits, reducing their nutritional, marketing, commercial, and export value. The current experiment aimed to determine the effectiveness of some chemical insecticides, applied with or without the addition of foliar nutrients, in combating the striped mealybug and improving the productivity of ‘Zebda’ mango fruits.

The results exhibited that F. virgata nymphs were more sensitive to the tested insecticides than the females. Seven days after spraying, all insecticides resulted in a significant increase in mortality rates, which continued to rise over time for both F. virgata nymphs and adult females. Among the tested treatments, Imidacloprid showed to be the most effective in reducing F. virgata females and nymphs, while Malatox exhibited the lowest efficacy.

Spraying mango trees with Imidacloprid insecticide in addition to boron, calcium, and magnesium – each at a concentration of 2.5 cm3∙dm−3 – led to a noticeable improvement in all physical and chemical characteristics of fruits compared to unsprayed trees. However, the lowest values were observed in trees treated with Malatox alone. In addition, the maximum avoidable loss was estimated for all studied parameters in trees treated with Malatox only, with the exception of fruit acidity.

Abstract

Process modelling is an effective tool for describing and predicting the performance of an aerobic membrane bioreactor (AeMBR) for fish canning wastewater (FCWW) treatment under different operating conditions. Three machine learning (ML) algorithms were developed, random forest (RF), decision tree regressor (DTR) and adaptive boosting regression (AdaBoost-R), based on various physico-chemical characteristics of the influent and operating conditions, including hydraulic retention times (HRT), organic loading rates (OLR), total dissolved solids (TDS), aeration rate and permeate volumetric rates. Predicted values for chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), and nitrate (NO3−) are compared with those reported from the experiment. As regards the quantitative assessment of the three predictive models, the DTR model demonstrated a modest determination coefficient (R2) value of 0.654, the AdaBoost-R model achieved 0.739, whereas the RF model showed the highest performance at 0.98. Due to its robustness and accuracy, the RF model was chosen for its superior ability to predict the performance of the AeMBR. Based on OLR of 4.27 (kg COD)∙(m3∙d)−1, a HRT of 24 h, a TDS of 3 g∙dm−3, an aeration rate of 1,300 Ndm3∙h−1 and a permeate volumetric rate of 15 dm3∙h−1, the average effluent characteristics comply with discharge and reuse limits.

Abstract

The study was based on monthly precipitation sums from at eight precipitation stations in the Silesian and Żywiec Beskids, covering the period 1951–2022. The data were obtained from the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management – National Research Institute. The frequency and year-to-year variability of the precipitation sums, as well as seasonal variability, based on Colwell’s predictability index (P) and its components: constancy (C) and seasonality (M). The results show that low precipitation occurred in all months of the year, with the highest frequency in October, and sporadically recorded in May, June, and July. The majority of the lowest monthly precipitation sums ranged between 30–50 mm, although in some, values exceeded 65 mm. Dry months were recorded in the study period of 1951–2022, notably October 1951, when precipitation sums at the stations did not exceed 3.5 mm, and November 2011, when they did not exceed 1.5 mm. Compared to the long-term average, these precipitation sums accounted for less than 5%. No significant trend was observed in the lowest monthly precipitation sums, though short-term fluctuations were present. Analysis of Colwell’s indices showed that the predictability of the lowest annual precipitation sums was below average, at approximately 0.40 across the analysed stations. Seasonality (M) was the dominant component of predictability, accounting for an average of 71% of the total predictability. The research findings may contribute to the understanding of the variability and forecasting of extreme meteorological droughts in the Polish Carpathians, particularly with implications for agriculture and forestry.

Abstract

The study examines the impact of floods on crop production in the Nabogo River basin, identifying flood risk and area affected. The flood extent in the research region was determined using Sentinel 1 images, global surface water, and a digital elevation model between July and October 2023. Flood analysis was carried out using Sentinel-2A and MODIS images, with cloud processing avoided and cloud and shadow masking techniques utilised. High-resolution data were used to map land use land cover (LULC) for affected and non-affected crops in the Nabogo River basin. The analyses were processed using Google Earth Engine. Heavy rainfall in the region, particularly upstream of the Nabogo River in northern of Ghana and Burkina Faso, causes severe flood damage every year, affecting farmers’ crop production and social economics through surface runoff and riverine damage. The flood extent inundates a minimum of 50 ha in July, extending to 34,090 ha in August. The flood extent reached its peak of 60,900 ha in September during discharge of water at the Burkina Faso’s Bagri Dam spillway through the White Volta in Ghana. Between July and October 2023, 24,223 ha of farm land were flooded, affecting 5,928 ha of crops. The impacted cropland experienced a 28-day flood with an average height of 1–3 m. Nevertheless, many farmers are forced to produce along the riverbank anyway due to land ownership and soil fertility benefits. To prevent ongoing losses, early-maturing crops are recommended.

Abstract

Water scarcity affects approximately 40% of the global population, with drought events causing annual economic losses exceeding $5–8 bln. Traditional water management approaches are increasingly inadequate as climate variability intensifies. The current study aims to develop an integrated framework for water resource optimisation during drought periods that bridges theoretical models with practical implementation considerations. The research was conducted across three watersheds (Limpopo, Murray–Darling, and Colorado River basins) using comprehensive hydroclimatic, socioeconomic, and institutional data spanning 1992–2022. A system dynamics model with five interconnected subsystems was coupled with a Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-III optimisation framework. The Institutional Analysis and Development framework assessed governance structures, while Sobol sensitivity analysis evaluated parameter influence. Optimised balanced strategies reduced economic losses by 19.4–24.8%, decreased social impacts by 25.8–28.7%, and increased environmental flow compliance to 49.2–61.7% compared to baseline management. The Murray–Darling basin demonstrated the highest implementation potential due to its comprehensive legal framework and established adaptive mechanisms. Under severe climate change scenarios, optimisation performance advantages declined by 21–29%. Effective drought management requires both technical optimisation and institutional adaptation. Basin-specific implementation pathways provide practical roadmaps for enhancing water security while balancing diverse stakeholder needs in increasingly water-stressed regions.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the environmental risk caused by active antibiotic substances present in cattle slurry from ecological farms, used for fertilisation purposes. In order to assess the environmental risk, studies were carried out on farms located in the cleanest region of north-eastern Poland. The study focused on substances most commonly found in veterinary drugs: tetracycline, bacitracin, kanamycin, dihydrostreptomycin, benzylpenicillin, cefquinome, and cephalexin. In the analysed cattle slurry, only tetracycline, benzylpenicillin, and cephalexin were detected in the analysed slurry. Their concentrations were respectively 1.53–15.1, 0.048–0.27, and nd–1.11 ng∙g−1. Other tested antibiotics, such as cefquinome and dihydrostreptomycin, were detected in the samples of cattle slurry at concentrations below the LOQ. Bacitracin and kanamycin were not detected in any of the samples. The environmental risk assessment, based on the risk quotient (RQ) values calculated for tetracycline and benzylpenicillin, indicated that the potential risk to soil was well below the level of concern (LoC). The risk assessment for cephalexin could not be performed due to the lack of sufficient data.

The analysis indicates that the risk to the soil compartment from the application of cattle slurry originating from organic farms is below the level of concern. However, due to data gaps in the available literature, a comprehensive analysis could not be completed.

Abstract

This study evaluated the impact of different doses of zeolite on the emergence, yield, and chemical composition of lettuce seedlings (Lactuca sativa var. capitata). To achieve this, a pot experiment was conducted using randomised design with four replications. Zeolite was mixed with the soil substrate at rates of 1%, 5%, and 10% per 1 kg of total soil mass (5 kg), corresponding to 10, 50, and 100 g·kg−1, respectively. The control treatment consisted of a light mineral soil substrate without the addition of zeolite.
The study found that zeolite significantly improved lettuce seed germination and seedling emergence rate. As the proportion of zeolite in the soil increased, both the yield of edible parts (leaves) and the biomass of the roots also increased. A beneficial effect of zeolite was observed to significantly reduce cadmium and lead concentrations in leaves. Furthermore, the addition of 10 g·kg−1 of soil also led to a reduction in the nitrate content in leaves, while higher doses (50 and 100 g·kg−1 of substrate) resulted in an increased nitrate content. The application of zeolite had no effect on the levels of flavonoids, anthocyanins, or polyphenols in lettuce leaves, nor on the concentrations of primary nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, and Na). However, a statistically significant relationship was observed between the application of zeolite and the increase in the iron, copper and zinc content, along with the decrease in the levels of manganese, boron, and molybdenum in the edible parts of the test plant.

Abstract

Wastewater treatment is essential for protecting both the environment and public health. With a growing global population and concerns about water shortages, wastewater must be treated effectively to meet the increasing demand for drinking water. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) that use innovative technologies, such as machine learning (ML), are playing a leading role in addressing this challenge. This study aims to use advanced ML algorithms to predict parameters in WWTP Kenitra, such as total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and biological oxygen demand (BOD). Four ML models were evaluated, including random forest (RF), decision tree regressor (DTR), Gaussian process regressor (GPR), and adaptive boosting regression (AdaBoost-R). The coefficient of determination (R2) and accuracy were used to evaluate the algorithm’s efficiency, R2 values of 0.99, 0.93, and 0.96 were obtained by the DTR, reflecting exceptional performance with RMSE values of 1.33 mg∙dm−3 for TSS, 3.85 mg∙dm−3 for COD, and 2.32 mg∙dm−3 for BOD. The GPR demonstrated strong predictive capability, achieving R2 values of 0.92 for TSS and 0.97 for BOD, with corresponding RMSE values of 3.12 mg∙dm−3, and 2.67 mg∙dm−3, respectively. These results indicate that the DTR and GPR learning models provide better algorithms for evaluating wastewater parameters. In particular, the study demonstrates the main benefits of using ML algorithms to predict the parameters of WWTP. This study illustrates that the DTR optimises treatment solutions and monitors the treatment process. The proposed method outperforms other algorithms in terms of efficiency and provides an accurate way to improve the performance of WWTP.

Abstract

One of the most controversial issues concerning wind turbines and photovoltaic farms is their negative impact on bird populations. The basic problem is the cumulative effect whereby birds, attracted by the water-like appearance of photovoltaic panels, may collide with the rotating blades of wind turbines. The paper analysed bird populations during four periods of their activity. The density of bird species of high, medium and low collision risk (HCR, MCR, LCR) at six photovoltaic farms was determined, including buffers of 200 and 1,000 metres from the installations. The results show that the structure of the avifauna occurring within and in the immediate vicinity of photovoltaic farms is variable and depends on both the nature of the specific installation and the phenological period. No bird mortality was observed during the 2-year study period. However, the potential expansion of photovoltaic farms to include wind farms may have the effect of increasing collision hazards, particularly during spring and autumn migration periods, as significantly higher densities of HCR birds were found during these times than during other periods. The study also indicated that LCR birds were abundant during the breeding period and post-breeding dispersion. They were significantly more densely distributed within a buffer of 200 m than 1,000 m from the installation. This confirms the attractiveness of photovoltaic farms for this group of birds, which may influence the possibility of not only cumulative impacts, but also synergistic impacts when photovoltaic farms are extended with wind farms.

Abstract

Being one of the major cities in Indonesia, Makassar is experiencing rapid growth but struggles to meet the statutory minimum requirement of 20% public green open space, achieving only 5.95%. At the same time, there is a pressing need for cemetery land, with projections indicating a shortage from 2023 to 2027. Cemeteries, as integral components of urban green space, present an opportunity to address both green space and burial land needs. This study examines the physical and spatial conditions, community opinions, and government regulations regarding Makassar’s cemeteries. The analysis aims to develop strategies for enhancing traditional burial system cemeteries, reflecting the faith of the majority, as functional green spaces, while at the same time increasing their burial capacity. Findings reveal that vegetation cover across all cemeteries in Makassar is only 25.5%, and 29.2% for government- managed ones, both far below the required 80%. This necessitates urgent need to increase vegetation. To maximise green space, the study suggests specific planting patterns that enable the addition of the most trees and provide the highest potential vegetation cover. For Islamic cemeteries, a regular planting pattern using medium-sized trees placed every two rows of graves is recommended to maintain order and symmetry. In contrast, for Christian cemeteries, a more random planting pattern is advised to reflect diversity. Small trees are suggested along roadways and pathways, while large trees should be planted wherever space allows. Implementing these patterns in government-managed cemeteries could increase vegetation cover in Makassar’s public cemeteries from 29.2 to 57.5%. Additionally, the careful selection of appropriate vegetation types is crucial to achieving these goals.

Abstract

Urban vegetation is a fundamental element and the keystone of urban ecological systems. Significant air pollution can affect plant functional traits. In this work we study the response of selected leaf functional traits (leaf pigments concentration, leaf area, specific leaf area, relative water content) and reproductive effort (no of staminate inflorescences, no of fructifications, seeds no, no and length of fructification axes) of pioneer tree, Betula pendula Roth to air pollution stress in the urban ecosystem. 21 trees in 3 zones, growing under different long-term air PM2.5 and PM10 (particulate matter ø ≤ 2.5 μm and ø ≤ 10 μm, respectively) concentration, land use and two seasons were studied. We confirmed air pollution stress has a profound effect on selected plant traits. The leaf chlorophyll b (Chl b) content, specific leaf area, and relative water content are highest in most polluted city centre and decrease to the peripheries, while chlorophyll a remains constant over zones. Moreover, the reproductive effort measured by the number and length of fructification axes were lowest in city centre. Overall the consistent patterns of variation of Chl b and reproductive effort in birch across gradient studied underscore their usability as easy to measure and low cost indicators of air quality in urban environments.

Abstract

Agricultural diffuse pollution, also referred to as nonpoint source pollution, is widely recognised as one of the primary challenges to achieving good ecological status in surface waters. This paper synthesises current knowledge on strategies and technical approaches designed to reduce nutrient and contaminant transfers from agricultural landscapes to rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. A broad spectrum of mitigation measures is assessed, including riparian buffer zones, vegetated filter strips, grassed waterways, constructed wetlands, denitrifying bioreactors, permeable barriers, stormwater management on agricultural land, and Good Agricultural Practices. The effectiveness of these measures is examined in relation to biophysical, hydrological, and geomorphological conditions, as well as their ability to provide additional ecosystem services, such as biodiversity enhancement and flood mitigation. Particular emphasis is placed on emerging global challenges, including climate change, which alters precipitation patterns and increases the frequency of extreme weather events, and the growing presence of microplastics and nanoplastics. Persistent barriers to implementation are identified, including fragmented governance frameworks, economic constraints, slow ecological responses, and limited stakeholder engagement. Advances in remote sensing, and geographic information systems are highlighted as essential tools for identifying critical source areas, optimising land management strategies, and improving spatial planning at the catchment scale. A prevention-focused hierarchy of measures is proposed, supported by adaptive and integrated water resource management principles. This paper offers a comprehensive synthesis of scientific and practical insights intended to support policy development, guide effective environmental management strategies, and contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6 and related European Union water quality objectives.

Abstract

<p>&nbsp;Water scarcity in semi-arid regions demands irrigation strategies that enhance water use efficiency (<em>WUE</em>) without compromising crop productivity. This study evaluated &lsquo;Solar Eclipse&rsquo; plum (<em>Prunus salicina </em>L.) production under two irrigation regimes at El Tahadi Road, Nubaryia, Egypt: control irrigation (CI), supplying 100% of crop evapotranspiration (<em>ETc</em>), and regulated deficit irrigation (DI), applying 50% <em>ETc </em>from March to June. Trees under CI achieved the highest yield (16,250 kg∙ha<sup>&ndash;1</sup>), favouring markets focused on high-volume production. However, DI reduced yield by only 16% (13,650 kg∙ha<sup>&ndash;1</sup>) while significantly improving fruit quality, including higher total soluble solids (15.8 &deg;Brix1), phenolic content (45.6 mg GAE∙g<sup>&ndash;1</sup>), and antioxidant capacity (82.6 &mu;mol Trolox∙g<sup>&ndash;1</sup>). The DI treatment also nearly doubled <em>WUE </em>and lowered production costs by 22%, enhancing resource efficiency and economic sustainability. Biochemical analysis revealed increased leaf levels of proline, abscisic acid, and anthocyanins under DI, indicating activation of stress-responsive mechanisms that maintained fruit development despite reduced water availability. Correlation analysis suggested DI enhanced <em>WUE </em>and fruit quality through physiological and biochemical adaptations, albeit with a modest yield reduction. Overall, this study emphasised the trade-offs between maximising yield and improving fruit quality, positioning regulated deficit irrigation as a viable, sustainable approach for &lsquo;Solar eclipse&rsquo; plum production in semi-arid regions and provided valuable insights for those seeking to optimise <em>WUE </em>while maintaining both economic viability and agronomic performance.</p>

Abstract

The main insight from this research is that there has been significant progress in the development of computer-aided models for water demand modelling over the past two decades. These models are used to balance water demand and supply, which is critical for effective water supply management systems. The equilibrium is achieved through various measures, many of which involve the use of forecasting tools. Recent research on urban water demand forecasting using artificial intelligence (AI) models is discussed in this article, to present the ‘state of the art’ on the issue and provide some insights and suggestions for future research on methodologies and models. The review examines models developed using traditional statistical methods, including artificial neural networks, linear regression, and time-series analysis, as well as soft computing techniques. This paper demonstrates that the study is focused on a decade-long evaluation of operating system management, indicating an opportunity for long-term projections. It goes without saying that no single model outperforms all the others; however, it is vital to assess the strengths of each model or combination of models for each country or region to determine which model works best in that location. Although the usage of AI and machine learning (ML) has increased significantly in recent decades, there is still potential for development in the field of water demand forecasting.

Abstract

The complex interplay between soil characteristics and land management practices plays a crucial role in shaping terrestrial carbon sequestration potential, a process widely recognised as a key component of climate change mitigation strategies. In regions characterised by high pedodiversity, such as those found in Central Europe, integrated analyses combining detailed soil survey data with land cover classifications reveal pronounced spatial mismatches between the inherent soil carbon storage capacity and prevailing land use patterns. While forest and grassland ecosystems generally optimise carbon retention on organic-rich soils, the continuing expansion of agriculture, infrastructure, and urban areas often leads to the degradation and fragmentation of these natural carbon sinks. Such land use changes frequently reduce soil organic carbon stocks, weaken ecosystem resilience, and limit the capacity to buffer climate extremes. Despite their fundamental role in regulating biogeochemical cycles, the ecological value of soils as carbon reservoirs remains underrepresented in spatial planning frameworks, which still tend to prioritise short-term productivity over long-term ecosystem functionality. This oversight contributes to the vulnerability of carbon-dense soils to irreversible losses and undermines broader climate adaptation efforts. Shifting towards a land-use planning paradigm that systematically incorporates ecosystem service valuation – particularly carbon storage potential – would mark a transformative step in environmental governance. Using Kłodzko County as a case study, this research develops a transferable methodological framework that links soil typology with land management regimes, offering decision- makers practical, spatially explicit tools to strengthen climate resilience through more sustainable and ecologically informed development strategies.

Abstract

As the climate crisis intensifies, universities are increasingly adopting the Green Campus model to promote sustainability through energy efficiency, waste reduction, sustainable transportation, and water conservation. These initiatives align closely with the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 13 (Climate action). As centres of innovation and education, universities play a vital role in fostering environmental responsibility among future generations. This study examines the implementation of the Green Campus model in Ankara, Turkey, by analysing how local universities communicate their sustainability commitments through official websites. The research is based on the 2024 UI (Universitas Indonesia) GreenMetric World University Rankings, which evaluate universities across six key indicators: infrastructure, energy and climate change, waste, water, transportation, and education and research. The findings reveal notable differences in the depth and clarity of sustainability engagement across universities. For instance, Middle East Technical University demonstrates a holistic approach by publicly promoting reforestation and energy-efficient infrastructure projects. In contrast, some institutions mention sustainability only in general terms, lacking project-specific transparency. Financial limitations, weak institutional culture, and minimal regulatory pressure emerge as major challenges affecting implementation and visibility. By focusing on online representations of sustainability, this research highlights how universities position themselves within global climate discourse and offers valuable insights for policymakers, university administrators, and sustainability advocates aiming to enhance higher education’s role in climate action. Ultimately, transparent and accessible sustainability communication is essential to increasing awareness, fostering engagement, and reinforcing institutional responsibility across academic communities.

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study of two innovative quasi-technical installations designed for high- quality treatment of domestic wastewater in rural areas. The installations are equipped with similar technological devices arranged in sequences consisting of: three-chamber flow septic tanks, biological sprayed beds filled with granular (10–20 mm) calcined clay materials, special slope biofilters with soil-grass beds and infiltration ponds as recipients. The sites are located at an altitude of more than 600 m a.s.l. in a foothill climate, in southern Poland. For both sites, the analysis showed a high elimination efficiency for pollutants expressed as biochemical oxygen demand over five days, chemical oxygen demand and total suspended solids. In the case of total nitrogen, the reduction rate was 79.4% for facility No. 1 and 84.3% for facility No. 2, respectively. A high level of ammoniacal nitrogen removal was achieved at both analysed sites, at 98.7% for facility No. 1 and 92.1% for facility No. 2. The PO4-P were removed at 88.0% at facility No. 1 and 69.1% at facility No. 2. The correlation analysis showed no significant relationship between the removal efficiency of the analysed pollutant indicators and the temperature of the treated wastewater, with the exception of total nitrogen. Thus, it is concluded that the climatic conditions did not affect the wastewater treatment processes. They are an effective alternative to treatment plants based on activated sludge technology and are recommended for use in rural areas with high environmental values, without sewage systems, which require special protection.

Editors refrain from utilising AI or AI-assisted technologies for decisions that require critical analysis or the formulation of substantive opinions. They and the editorial team will keep all information related to a submitted manuscript confidential, only sharing it with the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, relevant editorial advisers, and the publisher as necessary.

Editors and editorial board members will not use unpublished information from a submitted manuscript for personal research purposes without the explicit written permission of the authors. Any privileged information acquired during the manuscript review process will remain confidential and not be exploited for personal gain. In cases where there is a conflict of interest, such as competitive or collaborative relationships with authors, editors will recuse themselves and assign the manuscript to another editorial board member.

All manuscripts under consideration for publication will undergo peer review by at least two experts in the relevant field. The Editor-in-Chief will determine which manuscripts are published based on the validation of the work, its relevance to researchers and readers, feedback from reviewers, and adherence to legal standards regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The Editor-in-Chief may consult with fellow editors or reviewers in this decision-making process.

Additionally, journal editors may seek guidance on submitted papers beyond technical reviews, particularly regarding ethical concerns or issues involving data or materials accessibility. This advisory process typically occurs concurrently with the technical peer-review.

Reviewers’ duties

Peer review plays a crucial role in aiding editors with their decision-making and can also help authors enhance their manuscripts through communications facilitated by the editorial team.

If any reviewer feels unqualified to assess a manuscript or realises they cannot complete the review promptly, they should inform the editor and withdraw from the process.

All manuscripts reviewed must be regarded as confidential and should not be shared or discussed with anyone unless authorised by the editor.

Reviews need to be conducted impartially. Personal criticisms of the author are not acceptable. Reviewers should clearly articulate their opinions and back them up with solid reasoning.

Reviewers are also responsible for identifying relevant works that have not been referenced by the authors. Any claim that a finding, derivation, or argument has been previously noted should include the appropriate citation. Additionally, reviewers should inform the editor if they notice significant similarities or overlaps between the manuscript in question and any other published work they are aware of.

Reviewers must refrain from using AI to make decisions that require critical thinking or to form substantive opinions regarding the manuscript.

Any privileged information or insights gained during the peer review process must remain confidential and should not be exploited for personal gain. Reviewers should avoid evaluating manuscripts where there exist conflicts of interest arising from competitive, collaborative, or any other relationships with the authors, organizations, or institutions involved.

Editors treat any misconduct by reviewers with seriousness and will address any claims of confidentiality breaches.

Publishers’ duties

In instances of alleged or confirmed scientific misconduct, fraudulent publications, or plagiarism, the publisher will work closely with the editors to address the issue and amend the article in question. This may involve the swift publication of an erratum, a clarification, or, in the most serious cases, retraction of the affected work. Furthermore, alongside the editors, the publisher will take responsible measures to identify and prevent the publication of papers involving research misconduct, and will never condone or knowingly permit such misconduct to occur.

The publisher is dedicated to the ongoing availability and preservation of scholarly research and ensures accessibility by collaborating with organisations and maintaining a digital archive.





Corrections, retractions and updates after publication

Sometimes after an article has been published it may be necessary to make a change. This change will be made after careful consideration by the journal’s editorial team to make sure if there are grounds for these changes.

Aside from cases where a minor error is concerned, any necessary changes will be accompanied by a post-publication notice, which will be permanently linked to the original article. These changes can be in the form of a Correction notice, an Expression of Concern, a Retraction, and in rare circumstances, a Removal.

The purpose of linking post-publication notices to the original article is to provide transparency around any changes and to ensure the integrity of the scholarly record. Note that all post-publication notices are free to access from the point of publication.

Authors should notify us as soon as possible if they find errors in their published article, especially errors that could affect the interpretation of data or reliability of information presented. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to ensure consensus has been reached between all listed co-authors prior to requesting any corrections to an article.

If, after reading the guidance, you believe a correction is necessary for your article, please contact the Editorial Office journal@itp.edu.pl.

Correction notice

A Correction notice will be issued when it is necessary to correct an error or omission, where the interpretation of the article may be impacted but the scholarly integrity or original findings remains intact.

A correction notice, where possible, should always be written and approved by all authors of the original article.

Please note that correction requests may be subject to full review, and if queries are raised, you may be expected to supply further information before the correction is approved.

Major and minor errors could be distinguished. For correction notices, major errors or omissions are considered changes that impact the interpretation of the article, but the overall scholarly integrity remains intact. Minor errors are considered errors or omissions that do not impact the reliability of, or the readers’ understanding of, the interpretation of the article.

Major errors are always accompanied by a separate correction notice. The correction notice should provide clear details of the error and the changes that have been made to the published version. Under these circumstances, Editorial team will:

  • correct the published online article;
  • issue a separate correction notice electronically linked back to the corrected version;
  • add a footnote to the article displaying the electronic link to the correction notice.

Minor errors may not be accompanied by a separate correction notice. instead, a footnote will be added to the article detailing to the reader that the article has been corrected.

Concerns regarding the integrity of a published article should be raised via email to the Editorial Office journal@itp.edu.pl.

Retractions

A Retraction will be issued where a major error (e.g., in the methods or analysis) invalidates the conclusions in the article, or where it appears research or publication misconduct has taken place (e.g., research without required ethical approvals, fabricated data, manipulated images, plagiarism, duplicate publication, etc.).

The decision will follow a full investigation by the journal’s editorial team. Authors and institutions may request a retraction of their articles if they believe their reasons meet the criteria for retraction.

Retractions are issued to correct the scholarly record and should not be interpreted as punishments for the authors.

The COPE guidance can be found here https://publicationethics.org/guidance/guideline/principles-transparency-and-best-practice-scholarly-publishing.

Retraction will be considered in cases where:

  • there is clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of misconduct (e.g., data fabrication or image manipulation) or honest error (e.g., miscalculation or experimental error);
  • the findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper referencing, permission, or justification (e.g., cases of redundant or duplicate publication);
  • the research constitutes plagiarism;
  • the Editor no longer has confidence in the validity or integrity of the article;
  • there is evidence or concerns of authorship for sale;
  • citation manipulation is evident within the published paper;
  • there is evidence of compromised peer review or systematic manipulation;
  • there is evidence of unethical research, or there is evidence of a breach of editorial policies.
  • the authors have deliberately submitted fraudulent or inaccurate information.

Where the decision has been taken to retract an article, Editorial team will:

  • add “Retraction” on the published version of article;
  • issue a separate retraction statement, titled ‘Retraction: [article title]’, that will be linked to the retracted article.

Article removal

An Article Removal will be issued in rare circumstances where the problems cannot be addressed through a Retraction or Correction notice. Editorial team will consider removal of a published article in very limited circumstances where:

  • the article contains content that could pose a serious risk of harm if acted upon or followed;
  • the article contains content which violates the rights to privacy of a study participant;
  • the article is defamatory or infringes other legal rights;
  • an article is subject to a court order.

In the case of an article being removed from “Journal of Water and Land Development” website, a removal notice will be issued in its place.

Expressions of concern

In some cases, an Expression of Concern may be considered where concerns of a serious nature have been raised (e.g., research or publication misconduct), but where the outcome of the investigation is inconclusive or where due to various complexities, the investigation will not be completed for a considerable time. This could be due to ongoing institutional investigations or other circumstances outside of the journal’s control.

When the investigation has been completed, a Retraction or Correction notice may follow the Expression of Concern alongside the original article. All will remain part of the permanent publication record.

Expressions of Concern notices will be considered in cases where:

  • there is inconclusive evidence of research or publication misconduct by the authors, but the nature of the concerns warrants notifying the readers;
  • there are well-founded concerns that the findings are unreliable or that misconduct may have occurred, but there is limited cooperation from the authors’ institution(s) in investigating the concerns raised;
  • there is an investigation into alleged misconduct related to the publication that has not been, or would not be, fair and impartial or conclusive;
  • an investigation is underway, but a resolution will not be available for a considerable time, and the nature of the concerns warrant notifying the readers;

The Expression of Concern will be linked back to the published article it relates to.

 

EDITORIAL PROCEDURE

Preliminary evaluation

All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial evaluation by the Editors to ensure they meet the requirements and editorial policy of the “Journal of Water and Land Development” (JWLD). Submissions that are incomplete or not formatted according to the journal’s guidelines will be returned to the authors with recommendations for correction. Upon successful registration on the editorial platform, authors will receive a reference number for their manuscript. The Editor-in-Chief or a designated Section Editor reviews every submission and assigns it a priority status, resulting in one of the following decisions: (a) the manuscript is forwarded directly for peer review; (b) the manuscript is returned to the authors with suggestions for revising the presentation of data; or (c) the manuscript is rejected. If the authors revise the manuscript adequately, it will be sent to at least two independent reviewers. This preliminary evaluation phase typically takes 1 week.

Authorship statement

As part of the submission process through the editorial platform, authors must confirm the originality of their work, validate the listed authorship, agree to copyright transfer, and accept the terms of the peer review process.

Conflict of interest

Authors are required to disclose any financial or personal relationships that could be viewed as potential conflicts of interest at the time of submission. This information is treated confidentially during the review process and does not influence editorial decisions. Similarly, reviewers and editors must disclose to the Editor-in-Chief any relationships that could be perceived as conflicts of interest in relation to a manuscript under review.

Review process

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to independent experts for peer review. The Editorial Office retains the right to select appropriate reviewers. Typically, reviewers return their feedback within 3–4 weeks of submission. Authors are expected to address and respond to all reviewer comments thoroughly.

The objective of the peer review is to provide a qualified evaluation of the manuscript’s scientific quality. Reviewers offer constructive feedback to help authors improve their work and enhance its suitability for publication. While confidential remarks to the editors are considered, comments intended to improve the manuscript should also be shared with the authors.

It is important to note that review times can vary depending on factors such as the availability and responsiveness of reviewers, the complexity of the manuscript, and the extent of revisions needed.

Acceptance

The review process at JWLD follows a double-blind model, ensuring that both the authors and reviewers remain anonymous. Manuscripts are accepted for publication only after receiving favourable recommendations from independent reviewers. Reviewers are asked to complete a standardised "Reviewer’s Questionnaire" and provide a clear recommendation regarding the manuscript’s suitability for publication.

If there is a significant difference of opinion among reviewers, the Editor-in-Chief may: (a) share all reviews among the reviewers for additional insight, (b) seek further opinions from additional reviewers, or (c) carefully weigh all feedback and make a balanced final decision. To support this process, reviewers are encouraged to provide detailed justifications for their recommendations. Reviews that clearly outline both strengths and weaknesses of the manuscript are especially valuable.

If a revised manuscript is submitted or if authors believe their arguments were misunderstood during review, reviewers may be asked for further comments. However, the Editorial Office is cautious about repeated reviewer contact to avoid undue pressure and will assess the necessity and relevance of any follow-up requests.

In the case of rejection, authors have the right to appeal if they believe the reviewers have misunderstood or overlooked key aspects of the manuscript. Editors will then evaluate whether the appeal justifies reconsideration.

Common reasons for rejection

Manuscripts may be rejected outright—without being sent for peer review—if they are of insufficient quality. Common reasons for rejection include:

  • A high Similarity Index detected by plagiarism detection software.
  • Absence of key components of a scientific manuscript.
  • Poor English language quality.
  • Incomplete or low-resolution figures and tables.
  • Non-compliance with the journal’s “Instructions for Authors.”
  • A topic of limited significance or relevance to the field.
  • Poor manuscript structure or missing sections.

Plagiarism Policy


Plagiarism Policy

1. The Editorial Team of the “Journal of Water and Land Development” (JWLD) is strictly against any unethical act of copying or plagiarism in any form. According to Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) plagiarism is defined as: When somebody presents the work of others (data, words or theories) as if they were his/her own and without proper acknowledgement. Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). All manuscripts submitted for publication to JWLD are cross-checked for plagiarism using iThenticate/Turnitin software.
2. Plagiarism is the unethical act of copying someone else's prior ideas, processes, results or words without explicit acknowledgement of the original author and source. Self-plagiarism occurs when an author utilises a large part of his/her own previously published work without using appropriate references. This can range from getting the same manuscript published in multiple journals to modifying a previously published manuscript with some new data.
3. Manuscripts found to be plagiarised (overall similarity index of the manuscript should not be more than 15% for research articles and 20% for review articles with a limitation of less than 3% similarity from any individual source) during initial stages of review are out-rightly rejected and not considered for publication in the journal. In case a manuscript is found to be plagiarised after publication, the Editor-in-Chief will conduct a preliminary investigation, may be with the help of a suitable committee constituted for the purpose.
4. If the manuscript is found to be plagiarised beyond the acceptable limits, the journal will contact the author's Institute / College / University and Funding Agency, if any. A determination of misconduct will lead JWLD to run a statement bi-directionally linked online to and from the original paper, to note the plagiarism and provide a reference to the plagiarised material.
5. The paper containing the plagiarism will also be marked on each page of the PDF. Upon determination of the extent of plagiarism, the paper may also be formally retracted.

Types of Plagiarism

The following types of plagiarism are considered by JWLD:

1. Full Plagiarism: Previously published content without any changes to the text, idea and grammar is considered as full plagiarism. It involves presenting exact text from a source as one's own.
2. Partial Plagiarism: If content is a mixture from multiple different sources, where the author has extensively rephrased text, then it is known as partial plagiarism.
3. Self-Plagiarism: When an author reuses complete or portions of their pre-published research, then it is known as self-plagiarism. Complete self-plagiarism is a case when an author republishes their own previously published work in a new journal.

JWLD respects intellectual property and aims at protecting and promoting original work of its authors. Manuscripts containing plagiarised material are against the standards of quality, research and innovation. Hence, all authors submitting articles to JWLD are expected to abide by ethical standards and abstain from plagiarism, in any form.

The authors must ensure that the submitted manuscript:
- describes completely the original work;
- is not plagiarism;
- has not been published before in any language;
- the information used or words from other publications are appropriately indicated by reference or indicated in the text.
Existing copyright laws and conventions must be observed. Materials protected by copyright (for example, tables, figures or large quotations) should only be reproduced with the permission of their owner.

In case, an author is found to be suspected of plagiarism in a submitted or published manuscript then, JWLD shall contact the author(s) to submit his/her/their explanation within two weeks, which may be forwarded to the special commission constituted for the purpose, for further course of action. If JWLD does not receive any response from the author within the stipulated time period, then the Director / Dean / Head of the concerned College, Institution or Organization or the Vice Chancellor of the University to which the author is affiliated shall be contacted to take strict action against the concerned author.

JWLD shall take serious action against published manuscripts found to contain plagiarism and shall completely remove them from the JWLD website and other third party websites where the paper is listed and indexed. The moment, any article published in the JWLD database is reported to be plagiarised, JWLD will constitute a special commission to investigate the same. Upon having established that the manuscript is plagiarised from some previously published work, JWLD shall support the original author and manuscript irrespective of the publisher and may take any or all of the following immediate actions or follow the additional courses of actions*:

1. JWLD editorial office shall immediately contact the Director / Dean / Head of the concerned College, Institution or Organization or the Vice Chancellor of the University to which the author(s) is (are) affiliated to take strict action against the concerned author.
2. JWLD shall change the PDF copy of the published manuscript from the website and the term Retraction shall be appended to the published manuscript title.
3. JWLD shall disable the author account with the journal and reject all future submissions from the author for a period of 03 / 05 / 10 years or even ban the authors permanently.

*Any additional courses of action, as recommended by the commission or as deemed fit for the instant case or as decided by the Editor-in-Chief, implemented from time to time.
