Nworie River watershed in Owerri Imo State, Southeast Nigeria is an Urban watershed that should provide agricultural resources to the inhabitants of the area; however, the watershed has been under ecological threat as result of some activities of people within the area leading to soil degradation in the form of gully erosion. The study area was divided into Upstream, Midstream and downstream after which Five Major gullies were used for the study. Soil samples were collected from the walls of the gullies beginning from down to up according to apparent horizon differentiation. Soil profile pit was dug 100m away from erosion prone area and this served as the control. Soil data collected were subjected to statistical analysis; Variation of soil properties at various sampling points were ranked according to standard procedures. Soils of the watershed were found to be acidic. The results of some physical soil properties for soil quality evaluation were matched with FAO standard to assess the degree of degradation. Soil texture of the watershed was sandy and can be classified as an Ultisol. The watershed had low variation of SCR with mean values of 0.20,0.10 and 0.26 obtained respectively at the upstream, midstream and downstream. Bulk density was high and ranged from 1.81g/cm3 to 2.22g/cm3 at the Upstream,1.78g/cm3 to 2.71g/cm3 at the Midstream and 2.22 g/cm3 to 2.36g/cm3 at the downstream indicating moderately to highly degraded. Bulk density significantly and positively correlated with sand at P=0.01 respectively at the Upstream and Midstream. The mean values of moisture content of the watershed at the upstream, midstream and downstream were 1.02%,0.69% and 3.62%. Hydraulic conductivity of the soil ranged from 2.65cm/hr to 8.12cm/hr Upstream, 0.90cm/hr to 8.20cm/hr Midstream and 2.68cm/hr to 3.25cm/hr downstream indicating moderately slow to moderately rapid soil. Aggregate stability of the watershed was low with mean values of 0.32 ,0.38 ,0.40 at upstream, midstream and downstream respectively. Erosion within the watershed was more pronounced at the upstream and midstream compared to the downstream hence the need for appropriate conservation measures and practices within the watershed is paramount.

Wastewater from small-scale gold processing is causing mercury contamination in the river. It is important to know the estimation of the carrying capacity of river pollution due to mercury to support the improvement of the river ecosystem. The research objective was to calculate the load capacity of mercury pollution (Hg) in rivers around the gold mining and processing area of Pancurendang Village, Ajibarang District, Banyumas Regency, Central Java. The research begins with river discharge measurements. River discharge is measured by referring to SNI 8066: 2015. Water sampling was carried out at 12 river points with a purposive method that took into account the location (upstream, middle, downstream) and river characteristics, according to SNI 6989-78: 2008. Actual mercury levels in river water were tested at the UGM Integrated Research and Testing Laboratory (LPPT) with Mercury Analyzer. The results of the mercury and discharge levels are used to calculate the actual pollution load. The maximum pollution load is based on the quality standard of mercury in class 2 rivers, namely 0.005 ppm multiplied by river discharge. The load capacity of mercury pollution is obtained from the difference between the maximum pollution load and the actual pollution load. The results of river discharge measurements at the research location are quite varied, ranging from 0.0024-2.925 meters/second. The results of the calculation of the carrying capacity of mercury pollution loads in the river area around the gold mining and processing of Pancurendang Village show a range of 0.0000048-0.005904 kg/day with an average of 0.001325948 kg/day. The capacity of the river in Pancurendang Village has not exceeded its capacity.

A survey was done to find out the perception towards the practice of using food waste as a source for biogas in Malaysia. The objectives of the study were to see the perception on this issue and also to analyze the relationship between the knowledge of the respondents regarding food waste and biogas, and their habits in handling food waste with their perception. The respondents for this survey were government servants working in Shah Alam. From the survey, it was found out that they have generally positive perception towards the idea of implementing the utilization of food waste generated daily as a source for the production of biogas. However, it was found out through this study that the respondents have very little knowledge regarding food waste and biogas in general. There are significant positive relationships seen between the knowledge and their habits in handling food waste with the perception of the respondents about this issue. This shows that the public needs to be more educated regarding this issue.

Water purification is very necessary to provide clean and quality water to all livings for their survival. Various techniques for water treatment is in use now a days. The most common and useable method is the adsorption. The activated carbons generated from different ingredients like walnut shell, bagasse and the rice husk. The adsorbent generated from activated carbon can be efficiently utilized for municipal wastewater to be treated to reduce TSS, TDS, COD, turbidity, EC, pH and Temperature. These activated carbons occur naturally and environmentally friendly. Also, no bad effect on humans. Mostly used for the treatment of municipal wastewater. Walnut Shell, Bagasse and Rice Husk conversion to activated carbon minimizing the cost of waste transfer and gives cheap resources for generation of activated carbon.
