Climate change poses uncertainties to the supply and management of water resources under the observed increase in surface temperatures all over Africa. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of temperature changes on groundwater levels in Nzoia River Basin. Temperature and groundwater level variability and trends has been analyzed using the parametric test of Linear regression and the non-parametric Mann-Kendall statistical test. Temperature data was obtained from the Kenya meteorological department (KMD) whereas groundwater level data was collected from Water resources management agency (WRMA). Linear regression of the annual groundwater levels in Nzoia River Basin between 2011 and 2017 revealed a decreasing trend ranging from -0.49 ft/year (Kitale Golf Club) to -0.03 ft/year (Kakamega Tande School). Mann-Kendall statistical test also showed decreasing groundwater levels for all observation wells with the results for Kitale Golf Club and Mois Bridge Quarry observation wells being statistically significant, whereas those for Kapsabet Boys High School, Kakamega Mwikalikha School, Kakamega Tande School and Busia Town Prison were statistically insignificant at 5% significance level. The highest decline in groundwater levels was observed in the upper catchment of the basin.There are significant increases in annual tempratures for Kitale and Kakamega stations in the period 1979 - 2014. Kitale showed annual maximum temprature rising at 0.0006260C/year; annual minimum temperature rising at 0.0011630C/year and the annual mean temprature rising at 0.0008940C/year. Kakamega had annual maximum temprature rising at 0.0007710C/year; annual minimum tempratures rising at 0.0004710C/year and the annual mean tempratures rising at 0.0006230C/year. Eldoret showed falling maximum temprature at - 0.002020C/year; rising minimum temperature at 0.0008130C/year and falling mean temperatures at - 0.001420C/year. The results for Kitale and Eldoret stations showed statistically significant trends whereas those for Kakamega station had a statistically insignificant trend. In Nzoia River Basin, Kitale and Eldoret, annual minimum tempratures are rising faster than the maximum whereas in Kakamega it’s the annual maximum tempratures that are rising faster than the minimum. Kitale and Kakamega stations showed rising annual mean temperatures whereas Eldoret showed falling annual mean tempratures. As one would expect, temperatures in Nzoia River Basin are expected to be rising; however, the case of falling temperatures recorded at Eldoret international airport might occur because this region of Rift valley has highly protected natural resources and a high forest cover is available all the year round. Another possible explanation to this could be the changing cloudness around Eldoret station. Kitale and Kakamega showed annual mean tempratures rising at about 0.10C per century and Eldoret showed mean temperatures falling at about -1.40C per century. The findings for Kitale and
在整个非洲观测到的地表温度升高的情况下,气候变化给水资源的供应和管理带来了不确定性。本研究的目的是评估温度变化对Nzoia河流域地下水位的影响。采用线性回归的参数检验和非参数Mann-Kendall统计检验分析了气温和地下水位的变化和趋势。温度数据来自肯尼亚气象部门(KMD),地下水位数据来自水资源管理局(WRMA)。2011年至2017年Nzoia河流域年地下水水位线性回归显示,从-0.49英尺/年(Kitale高尔夫俱乐部)到-0.03英尺/年(Kakamega Tande学校)的下降趋势。Mann-Kendall统计检验也显示,所有观测井的地下水位均呈下降趋势,其中Kitale高尔夫俱乐部和Mois Bridge Quarry观测井的地下水位下降具有统计学意义,而Kapsabet Boys High School、Kakamega Mwikalikha School、Kakamega Tande School和Busia Town Prison的地下水位下降在5%的显著水平上不显著。盆地上部集水区的地下水位下降幅度最大。1979 - 2014年期间,Kitale和Kakamega站的年气温显著上升。基塔莱的年最高增温为0.0006260℃/年;年最低温升为0.0011630℃/年,年平均温升为0.0008940℃/年。Kakamega年最高温升为0.0007710C/年;年最低气温上升幅度为0.0004710℃/年,年平均气温上升幅度为0.0006230℃/年。埃尔多雷特的最高气温为- 0.002020℃/年;最低气温上升0.0008130℃/年,平均气温下降- 0.001420℃/年。基塔莱站和埃尔多雷特站的变化趋势具有统计学意义,而卡卡梅加站的变化趋势没有统计学意义。在Nzoia河流域,Kitale和Eldoret,年最低温度比最高温度上升得快,而在Kakamega,年最高温度比最低温度上升得快。Kitale和Kakamega站的年平均气温上升,而Eldoret站的年平均气温下降。正如人们所预料的那样,Nzoia河流域的气温预计会上升;然而,埃尔多雷特国际机场记录的气温下降的情况可能会发生,因为裂谷的这个地区拥有高度保护的自然资源,而且全年都有很高的森林覆盖率。另一个可能的解释是埃尔多雷特站周围云层的变化。基塔莱和卡卡梅加的年平均气温每世纪上升约0.10摄氏度,埃尔多雷特的年平均气温每世纪下降约-1.4摄氏度。Kitale和Kakamega站的研究结果与IPCC第三次评估报告估计的20世纪全球变暖速率0.60℃以及非洲大陆和东非地区的其他研究结果相吻合。该盆地地下水位的下降趋势似乎与气候变化有关。温度升高对水文循环有影响,因为它们增加了可接近的地表水的蒸发和植被蒸腾作用。因此,这些变化对降水量、时间和强度率产生影响,并对地表和地下水库的水通量和储水量产生间接影响。虽然重要的长期气候因子如气温、降水和蒸散的变化直接影响地表水供应,但变化的气候变量与地下水之间的相互作用更为复杂,人们对其知之甚少。为了有效和长期的地下水资源管理,了解长期的温度变化和趋势,以及地下水水位的相应反应是至关重要的。尽管地下水位记录只能在很短的时间内获得,但它们包含了可用于制定管理该盆地有限地下水资源的战略的基本信息。

Food insecurity has remained a major challenge to many developing countries. The Food and Agricultural Organization, estimates that 842 million people have suffered from lack of food access, resulting in undernourishment. Kenya’s rural and urban areas, have been suffering from food insecurity since independence. Previous case-studies have shown that, although various governments and donor agencies' have attempted to sponsor food-production programs, execution has remained a challenge. Elgeyo Marakwet has previously been experiencing famine intervention projects from World Vision Kenya, Community Agricultural Development for Semi-Arid Lands, National Agriculture and Livestock Extension Program and Njaa Marufuku Kenya.  The aim of this research was to examine the, organizational structure, socio-economic and capacity-building factors that contribute to sustainable food production in semi-arid and arid areas. The study used a descriptive survey research design to guide in the collection of data from a sample of 136 households using structured questionnaire. Data was analysed through cross-tabulation using Chi-square, ANOVA and percentages. In conclusion the research has revealed that organizational, demographic and capacity building factors are important in the improvement of food production. It is recommended that sustainable food security depends on developing sustainable local food production policy.
粮食不安全仍然是许多发展中国家面临的主要挑战。据联合国粮农组织估计,全球有8.42亿人缺乏食物,导致营养不良。自独立以来,肯尼亚的农村和城市地区一直遭受粮食不安全的困扰。以前的案例研究表明,尽管各国政府和捐助机构都试图赞助食品生产项目,但执行起来仍然是一个挑战。Elgeyo Marakwet曾参与过肯尼亚世界宣明会、半干旱地区社区农业发展、国家农业和畜牧业推广计划以及肯尼亚Njaa Marufuku的饥荒干预项目。这项研究的目的是审查促进半干旱和干旱地区可持续粮食生产的组织结构、社会经济和能力建设因素。本研究采用描述性调查研究设计,采用结构化问卷对136户家庭样本进行数据收集。数据分析通过交叉表使用卡方,方差分析和百分比。总之,研究表明,组织、人口和能力建设因素对提高粮食生产很重要。建议可持续粮食安全取决于制定可持续的地方粮食生产政策。

In the past decade, it has been reported that water quality of rivers are deteriorating increasingly. In this study we examined the state of River Ossiomo to assess the current health of the river for a period of 24 months from April 2019 to March 2020, then July 2020 to May 2021 in three well marked out stations. The study was to determine the relationship between environmental variables and fish species assemblage in the river. From the results of the physico-chemical variables, the mean values of pollution indicating physico-chemical variables such as sulphate (1.26+0.32mg/l) and total suspended solids (TSS) (5.53+1.89mg/l) were higher in station 2. On the other hand, pH (5.94+0.48), DO (8.64+1.57mg/l), turbidity (7.48+7.63NTU), TDS (29.64+14.65mg/l) and phosphate (0.43+0.31mg/l) mean values were highest in station 1. Conductivity (70.87+26.42µS/cm) and nitrate (0.49+0.34mg/l) mean values were highest in station 3. Further, dissolved oxygen (DO) was higher in station 1, the reference station. The analysis of variance (ANOVA), we performed for the physico-chemical variables revealed that temperature, conductivity, DO, total dissolved solids (TDS), alkalinity, TSS, sulphate, phosphate and nitrate were significantly different among the three stations sampled (P<0.05), while pH, BOD and turbidity were not significant among the three stations sampled (P>0.05). The result of the principal component analysis showed that conductivity was positively associated with station 3, and temperature, TDS and alkalinity were negatively associated with stations 1 and 2. A total of 2,324 fish individuals belonging to 29 taxa were recorded in the entire study period. Station 1 harbours more fish species (1018), followed by station 2 (809), and we recorded the lowest number of fish individuals in station 3 (497). Auchenoglanis occidentalis was the most preponderant fish species probably occasioned by its level of adaptation to prevailing environmental conditions in the study river. The least abundant fish species was Synodontis eupterus.The canonical correspondence analysis we used in visualizing the relationship between fish species and physico-chemical variables showed that fish taxa such as Distichodus brevipinni, Cteropoma kinsleyae, Tilapia zillii, Malapterarus electricus, Mormyrus engystoma, and Synodontis  nigita that were positively associated with pollution indicating physico-chemical variables were suggested as indicators for monitoring riverine health in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria. We recommend that more detailed studies should be carried out in River Ossiomo to confirm this result. However, this study serves as a baseline study in the present study area.
在过去的十年里,据报道,河流的水质正在日益恶化。在这项研究中,我们检查了奥西莫河的状况,以评估2019年4月至2020年3月,然后是2020年7月至2021年5月,在三个明确标记的站点进行了24个月的河流健康状况评估。该研究旨在确定环境变量与河流鱼类种群组合之间的关系。从理化变量的结果来看,2站的硫酸盐(1.26+0.32mg/l)和总悬浮物(TSS) (5.53+1.89mg/l)等理化变量的平均值较高。pH(5.94+0.48)、DO (8.64+1.57mg/l)、浊度(7.48+7.63NTU)、TDS (29.64+14.65mg/l)和磷酸盐(0.43+0.31mg/l)平均值最高。电导率(70.87+26.42µS/cm)和硝酸盐(0.49+0.34mg/l)平均值在3号站最高。此外,参考站1的溶解氧(DO)较高。理化变量方差分析显示,温度、电导率、DO、总溶解固形物(TDS)、碱度、总溶解固形物(TSS)、硫酸盐、磷酸盐和硝酸盐在三个采样站点之间存在显著差异(P0.05)。主成分分析结果表明,电导率与工位3呈正相关,温度、TDS和碱度与工位1和2呈负相关。在整个研究期间共记录了29个分类群的2324条鱼类个体。1号站鱼类种类最多(1018种),2号站次之(809种),3号站鱼类个体数最少(497种)。在研究的河流中,西斑Auchenoglanis occidentalis是最占优势的鱼类,这可能是由于其对当时环境条件的适应水平所致。最不丰富的鱼类种类是黄滑膜鱼。通过典型对应分析显示,短鳍蝶、金氏角爪鱼、紫罗非鱼、电马龙鱼、刺口Mormyrus engystoma和黑滑齿鱼等鱼类类群与污染呈正相关,可以作为尼日利亚尼日尔三角洲地区河流健康监测的指标。我们建议在奥西莫河进行更详细的研究,以证实这一结果。然而,本研究作为本研究领域的基线研究。

Igueben is located in the central of Edo State, Nigeria. It has neighboring towns; Ogwa, Ugbegun, Ugiogba, Ebelle, and Ekpon. These towns have the same aquifer but significantvariations in the water table. However this study is intended to unravel the salient ancient hydrological processes that occurred in the study area which resulted in this variation. Vertical electrical sounding (VES) data and borehole data of the area are integrated to generate geo-electrical resistivity section of the area, to identify the aquifer trends, body, and shape to re-construct the palaeo-sedimentation processes of the aquifers that underlie Iguebe and the neighboring towns. The inversion model result for the seven VES conducted in the study area show that the curve types are HQA, AHA, A, AHA, AHA, HAQ, and AQA, respectively. These curve type suggested that the aquifer type is anarenite sandstoneaquifer that has been transported from a long distance. The geo-electrical pattern and shape show that Igueben and Ogwa (shallow marine) are the points of deposition from where other nearby towns (Ugbegun, Ugiogba, Ebelle, and Ekpon) sourced their aquifer by gravity settling from suspended sediments in water body into adjacent deep marine environment (Ugbegun, Ugiogba, Ebelle, and Ekpon).The study showed that Igueben and Ogwa are the hydraulic-head of the aquifer in the study area. The geological processes that had occurred in the study area during sedimentation are responsible for the variation in the water table in the study area.
伊格本位于尼日利亚埃多州中部。它有邻近的城镇;Ogwa, ugbegan, Ugiogba, Ebelle和Ekpon。这些城镇有相同的含水层,但地下水位变化很大。然而,本研究旨在揭示研究区域发生的导致这种变化的显着古代水文过程。将该地区的垂直电测深(VES)数据与钻孔数据相结合,生成该地区的地电阻率剖面,识别含水层趋势、体和形状,重建Iguebe及邻近城镇地下含水层的古沉积过程。研究区7次地震测井反演模型结果显示,曲线类型分别为HQA、AHA、A、AHA、AHA、HAQ、AQA。这些曲线类型表明,该含水层类型为长距离输送的无灰岩砂岩含水层。地电模式和形状表明,伊格本和Ogwa(浅海)是附近其他城镇(Ugbegun, Ugiogba, Ebelle和Ekpon)通过重力沉降将水体中的悬浮沉积物引入邻近的深海环境(Ugbegun, Ugiogba, Ebelle和Ekpon)的沉积点。研究表明,格本和小洼是研究区含水层的水头。研究区在沉积过程中所发生的地质作用是造成研究区地下水位变化的主要原因。

Soil erosion is still one of the most important land problems and it is linked to land use and land cover changes. These have negative effects on land resource which ultimately affects agricultural productivity and water quality. Local monitoring systems constitute an almost compulsory component of any program or project dealing with sustainable management of natural resources. The purpose of this study was to identify soil erosion monitoring indicators in Kuresoi South, Kenya. The study was comprised of a total representative sample population of 68 respondents from Kuresoi south catchment which was achieved using Nassiuma coefficient of variation formulae. Our findings reveal a positive significant relationship between soil erosion monitoring indicators and natural resource management. Taken together, soil erosion monitoring indicators can be used in detecting change over time in soil resource.
土壤侵蚀仍然是最重要的土地问题之一,它与土地利用和土地覆盖变化有关。这些对土地资源产生负面影响,最终影响农业生产力和水质。当地监测系统几乎是处理自然资源可持续管理的任何方案或项目的强制性组成部分。本研究的目的是确定肯尼亚库雷索伊南部的土壤侵蚀监测指标。本研究采用Nassiuma变异系数公式,选取了Kuresoi南流域的68名代表性样本人口。研究结果表明,土壤侵蚀监测指标与自然资源管理之间存在显著正相关关系。总而言之,土壤侵蚀监测指标可用于检测土壤资源随时间的变化。

Nzoia River Basin is one of the regions that is highly vulnerable to climate change in Kenya. Many attempts have been made to identify and quantify the impact of climate change on socio-economic sectors and ecosystems using global studies resulting into recommendations on policy changes aimed at generating sustainable mitigation and adaptation strategies. This top-down approach by using global studies lacks the required local and regional climate change specificities to address the regional and local climate change challenges. Temperature is one of the most important components of the climatic parameters widely measured as a starting point towards the apprehension of climate change courses. This study aims at filling the top-down approach knowledge gaps in Nzoia River Basin by assessing temperature variability and trends at three stations for the period 1979 to 2014, using Linear regression analysis and Mann-Kendall statistical test. Monthly maximum and minimum temperature data for Kitale, Kakamega and Eldoret stations was obtained from Kenya Meteorological Department, Nairobi, Kenya. The main findings reveal that Kakamega has highest temperatures, followed by Kitale and the lowest temperatures are found at Eldoret. This trend seems to go with altitude as the lowest temperatures are found at highest altitudes and highest temperatures at lowest altitudes. There are significant increases in annual temperatures for Kitale and Kakamega stations, with Kitale showing annual maximum temprature rising at 0.0006260 C/year; annual minimum temperature rising at 0.0011630 C/year and the annual mean temprature rising at 0.0008940 C/year. Kakamega shows annual maximum temperature rising at 0.0007710 C/year; annual minimum temperatures rising at 0.0004710 C/year and the annual mean temperatures rising at 0.0006230 C/year. Eldoret shows falling maximum temperature at - 0.002020 C/year; rising minimum temperature at 0.0008130 C/year and falling mean temperatures at - 0.001420 C/year. The results for Kitale and Eldoret stations show statistically significant trends whereas those for Kakamega station were statistically insignificant. Eldoret annual minimum temperatures are rising faster than the maximum whereas in Kakamega it’s the annual maximum temperatures that are rising faster than the minimum. Kitale and Kakamega show annual mean temperatures rising at about 0.10C per century which compares well with IPCC Third Assessment Report estimated global warming rate of 0.6 0C during the twentieth century and other studies from the African continent and East African region.
Nzoia河流域是肯尼亚最容易受到气候变化影响的地区之一。为了确定和量化气候变化对社会经济部门和生态系统的影响,已经进行了许多尝试,利用全球研究得出了旨在制定可持续缓解和适应战略的政策变化建议。这种利用全球研究的自上而下的方法缺乏应对区域和地方气候变化挑战所需的地方和区域气候变化特异性。温度是广泛测量的气候参数中最重要的组成部分之一,是理解气候变化过程的起点。本研究利用线性回归分析和Mann-Kendall统计检验,对Nzoia河流域1979 - 2014年3个站点的温度变化趋势进行了评估,旨在填补自上而下方法的知识空白。Kitale、Kakamega和Eldoret站的月最高和最低气温资料来自肯尼亚内罗毕的肯尼亚气象部门。主要发现显示卡卡梅加的温度最高,其次是基塔莱,而埃尔多雷特的温度最低。这种趋势似乎与海拔高度有关,因为海拔最高的地方温度最低,海拔最低的地方温度最高。基塔莱站和卡卡梅加站年最高气温显著上升,基塔莱站年最高气温上升0.0006260℃/年;年最低气温上升幅度为0.0011630℃/年,年平均气温上升幅度为0.0008940℃/年。Kakamega的年最高温升为0.0007710℃/年;年最低气温上升0.0004710℃/年,年平均气温上升0.0006230℃/年。埃尔多雷特的最高温度为- 0.002020℃/年;最低气温上升0.0008130℃/年,平均气温下降- 0.001420℃/年。基塔莱和埃尔多雷特站的结果在统计上有显著的趋势,而卡卡梅加站的结果在统计上不显著。埃尔多雷特的年最低气温比最高气温上升得快,而卡卡梅加的年最高气温比最低气温上升得快。Kitale和Kakamega显示,年平均气温每世纪上升约0.10℃,这与IPCC第三次评估报告估计的20世纪全球变暖率0.6℃以及非洲大陆和东非地区的其他研究结果相当。

This study used annual rainfall records from three stations within the North East Arid Zone of Nigeria for the period (1957-2017) to measure the extent of the rainfall recovery by comparing the drought decades and post drought decades rainfall patterns. Monthly rainfall records from Potiskum, Maiduguri and Nguru Stations were used. Descriptive and inferential statistical tools were employed in analysing the data. The findings of the study revealed a significant year-to-year variability in rainfall characteristics around 61 years (1957-2017) averages. The variability was large in 1970s up till 1990s, and lower in 1960s and from 2000 to 2018. Decreasing trend in annual rainfall amount was observed during the study period while a stability in onset and cessation dates were observed. The differences between 1957-1986 and 1987-2017 climatic season were found to be statistically insignificant. The study concluded that the reported rainfall recovery from drought is statistically insignificant and the observed long term mean trend revealed a decreasing trend. Therefore, the theory of Sahel rainfall recovery can be better termed as a ‘’break of the series of drought or decline in frequency and magnitude of occurrence of drought’’ The research recommended the continuations with the drought adaptation and mitigation strategies adopted by local population, decisions makers and organizations following the series Sahelian droughts of 1970s and 1980s.
本研究使用了尼日利亚东北部干旱地区三个站点1957-2017年期间的年降雨量记录,通过比较干旱几十年和干旱后几十年的降雨模式来衡量降雨恢复的程度。使用了Potiskum、迈杜古里和Nguru站的月降雨量记录。采用描述性和推断性统计工具对数据进行分析。研究结果显示,在61年(1957年至2017年)的平均值附近,降雨特征存在显著的年际变化。20世纪70年代至90年代的变异性较大,60年代和2000年至2018年的变异性较小。研究期间,年降雨量呈减少趋势,而开始和停止时间呈稳定趋势。1957-1986年与1987-2017年气候季节的差异无统计学意义。研究认为,报告的干旱恢复降雨量在统计上不显著,观测到的长期平均趋势呈下降趋势。因此,萨赫勒地区降雨恢复理论可以更好地称为"一系列干旱的中断或干旱发生频率和程度的下降" .研究建议,在1970年代和1980年代萨赫勒地区一系列干旱之后,继续执行当地居民、决策者和组织采取的适应和缓解干旱战略。

Geo-spatial assessment of land use/cover dynamics in Akoko South West Local Government was instigated to bridge the knowledge gap created by data deficiency on the nature, scope and magnitude of land use/cover change in the area. This was done through the analysis of Landsat images of three epochs from 2000 through 2010 to 2020. The processing of the satellite images was done in ArcGIS 10.8 while the analysis and 2030 projection was done in Microsoft office excel using the result from the analysis. QGIS was used to remove the scan lines error on the 2010 image. The result showed increasing built-up area, reducing vegetation and farmlands and diminishing rock outcrops. The changes vary among the different classification characteristics. The increasing change in the second epoch was higher in built up areas while rock outcrops increased in the first epoch. Farmland and vegetation were on reducing trend throughout the study period. However, the moderate change observed in the second epoch for the two land cover classes were not as significant as the first epoch. Government policies on forest reserve should strictly be adhered to in order to preserve the vegetation in the area. People of the area should be advised to diversify their economy in order to avoid total dependence on the forest reserve.
对Akoko西南地方政府的土地利用/覆盖动态进行地理空间评估,以弥合由于该地区土地利用/覆盖变化的性质、范围和程度数据不足而造成的知识差距。这是通过分析2000年至2010年至2020年三个时期的陆地卫星图像来完成的。利用ArcGIS 10.8软件对卫星图像进行处理,利用分析结果在Microsoft office excel软件中进行分析和2030年预测。利用QGIS对2010年图像的扫描线误差进行了去除。结果表明:建筑面积增加,植被和农田减少,岩石露头减少。在不同的分类特征中,变化是不同的。建成区第2世变化幅度较大,第1世岩石露头增加。研究期间耕地和植被均呈减少趋势。然而,两个土地覆盖类别在第二个时代的温和变化不如第一个时代显著。为了保护该地区的植被,应严格遵守政府关于森林保护区的政策。应该建议该地区的人民实现经济多样化,以避免完全依赖森林保护区。

Regardless of the doubt caused by some rounds on the impossibility of earthquake forecast, more and more countries, even at the highest governmental levels, realize that doing nothing is the ostrich position of dread before the real difficulties associated with the creation of a real forecasting system. Nigeria in times past was believed to be aseismic. However, the seismic record of Nigeria from 1933-2021 have demonstrated in contrast to the idea, numerous quakes have been recorded in Nigeria throughout the years. With the development of observation techniques and theoretical knowledge of geochemistry, geochemical observation of faults gas has become a hotspot once more in recent years. Rn, Hg, H2, etc., are used for geochemical observations. 222Rn has a half-life of 3.825 days, a magnitude 5.0 earthquake will be detected through precursory phenomena at a distance not greater than 142 km. Mercury and other elements are used as important detectors for earthquake prediction and they play an important role in revealing the relationship between fluid in the fault zone and the occurrence of earthquakes, the range for a magnitude 5.0 earthquake is limited to 200 km. Hydrogen concentrations have been monitored for precursory variations in many fault systems, using either discrete sampling and laboratory analysis or continuous monitoring of ground gas, using hydrogen-sensitive fuel cells. Precursory changes in groundwater chemistry are often attributed to the mixing of fluids from two or more chemically distinct aquifers, the physical mechanism responsible for the mixing of fluids is, however, not well established.
尽管人们对地震预报的不可能性产生了几轮怀疑,但越来越多的国家,甚至是政府最高层,都意识到,在建立一个真正的预报系统所面临的真正困难面前,无所作为是一种恐惧的鸵鸟姿态。尼日利亚在过去被认为是地震频发的国家。然而,尼日利亚从1933年到2021年的地震记录表明,与这种想法相反,尼日利亚多年来记录了许多地震。近年来,随着观测技术和地球化学理论知识的发展,断层气体地球化学观测再次成为研究的热点。Rn、Hg、H2等用于地球化学观测。222Rn的半衰期为3.825天,在不超过142公里的距离内,通过前兆现象可以探测到5.0级地震。汞等元素是地震预报的重要探测器,在揭示断裂带流体与地震发生的关系方面发挥着重要作用,5.0级地震的探测范围限制在200 km以内。在许多断层系统中,氢气浓度已经被监测到前兆变化,要么使用离散采样和实验室分析,要么使用氢敏感燃料电池对地面气体进行连续监测。地下水化学的前兆变化通常归因于来自两个或两个以上化学性质不同的含水层的流体混合,然而,流体混合的物理机制尚未得到很好的确定。

Every environment is surrounded by traditional people who have lived in the geographic location for a long time and use their particular knowledge to cohabit with the natural ecosystem. This study assessed challenges encountered towards tree conservation by the Rendille pastoral community in Kenya. Selected tree species; Olea europaea, Terminalia sp. and Hyphaene compressa, that are commonly used by the community were identified and the probable threats towards their conservation. Some of these tree conservation challenges by the indigenous Rendille were: charcoal burning and fuel wood consumption, demand of traditional tree medicinal value, climate variability extremes and demand for land for settlement by the community. The results indicate that, charcoal burning (84.4%) and demand for traditional tree medicine (77.3%) were leading causes frustrating tree conservation among the Rendille. To mitigate these challenges, the respondents indicated that, creation of awareness (89.1%) and promotion of other sources of fuel (78.9%) could be vital factors. The study recommends Integration of Indigenous Knowledge (IK) with formal education to enhance conservation of the mentioned tree species.
每一个环境都被长期居住在该地理位置的传统人群所包围,他们利用自己的特殊知识与自然生态系统共存。本研究评估了肯尼亚Rendille牧区在树木保护方面遇到的挑战。选定树种;鉴定了该群落常用的油橄榄(Olea europaea)、油橄榄(Terminalia sp.)和油橄榄(Hyphaene compressa)及其可能面临的保护威胁。土著居民Rendille面临的一些树木保护挑战包括:木炭燃烧和燃料木材消耗、对传统树木药用价值的需求、极端气候变化以及社区对土地的需求。结果表明,木炭燃烧(84.4%)和传统树药需求(77.3%)是导致伦迪勒族树木保护受阻的主要原因。为了缓解这些挑战,受访者表示,提高意识(89.1%)和推广其他燃料来源(78.9%)可能是至关重要的因素。该研究建议将土著知识(IK)与正规教育相结合,以加强对上述树种的保护。
