Assessment of radiation and determination of heavy metals in underground water was achieved with the use of Atomic Absorption Spectrometer PG990 (AAS) in the determination of heavy metals at Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Chemistry in Benue State University, Makurdi. Radiation Alert Meter was used to assess the radiation level on the water at the respective study centers. The investigation showed average radiation from borehole water in the samples to range from 0.003μSv/hr to 0.020μSv/hr and was below the recommended value which guaranteed an exposure level lower than 0.10 mSvy1 . Also, the average radiation from hand dug water ranges from 0.003 μSv/hr to 0.017 μSv/hr which amounted to an exposure lower than 0.1 mSvy-1. Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni) and Lead (Pb) were identified as heavy metals from both the hand dug well and the borehole water. The result showed safety in the use of these two sources of water.

Climate variability manifested by seasonal rainfall and temperature variability greatly affects agricultural crop production under rain-fed conditions (main source of income for rural communities). Therefore, this study has focused on analyzing the impacts of climate variability on rain-fed wheat and sorghum production in Waghemra Zone, Ethiopia. Daily rainfall and temperature data were collected from National Meteorological Agency of Ethiopia and crop yield data was collected from Central Statics Agency of Ethiopia. Temporal variability of rainfall, temperature and crop yield was analyzed using coefficient of variation (CV) and standardized anomaly method. The rainfall and temperature trends were assessed via Mann-Kendall test and Sen’s slope estimator. The impacts of climate variability on crop yields were evaluated using correlation and regression analysis. The rainfall analysis exhibited large inter-annual and seasonal variation both in amount and distribution. The rainfall has showed decreasing trends in Belg and increasing in both annual and Kiremt season. Moreover, the detected trends are not significant. In contrast, minimum and maximum temperature showed significantly increasing trends at annual and seasonal time scales. The number of warm days and nights has increased and the number of cold days and nights has decreased. The regression analysis revealed that climate variability over the study area has differential effects on the yield of Wheat and Sorghum with coefficient of determination 86% and 84%, respectively. The observed rainfall and temperature variability has posed major risks to rain-fed agriculture and specific adaptation strategies are needed to cope with the risks, sustain farming and improve food security.

The main aim of this research is to analyse spatio- temporal trends on habitat disturbance between 1986 and 2021 in protected areas of, Zimbabwe with a focus on anthropogenic activities such as mining which are leading to biodiversity loss, habitat and ecosystem services disturbances. This paper provides an overview of recent studies using Remote Sensing (RS and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques to assess the extent of mining disturbance on plant habitats in protected areas of Zimbabwe. Through a systematic review, literature hotspot analysis was done as well as a trend analysis at regional specific level together with statistical tests in order to come up with an overview of the past studies which were done on habitat disturbance in protected areas of Zimbabwe over a thirty-five-year period. The paper highlights the complex nature of the impacts of mining as well as discuss spatial research methods, data sources and limitations. The results indicated an exponential growth of scientific literature on human-environment interactions in the mining environments at regional scale and a non- monotonic trend at country level. This has prompted a need to synthesize literature to guide future research. Conclusively there is limited research done on habitat disturbance in protected mining environments, hence the need for advanced geospatial scientific studies in the future on spatio-temporal analysis of trends on habitat disturbance

The article presents the results of the assessment of the pollution of the Katnakhbyur river. The purpose of this work is to study the ecological state of the river and identify the main pollutants. The article presents an integral assessment of the ecological state of the river based on hydrobiological and hydrochemical indicators. The article uses the method of field research and observations, geographical and descriptive methods. The article compared the results of the analysis of water samples taken from the site of the villages of Armanis and Urasar. For comparison, a section of the Katnakhbyur River in the village of Urasar was adopted as a reference. The results of the analysis of the water sample taken from the site of the village of Armanis show that in comparison with the site of Urasara, there is an increase in a number of metals. The high concentration of heavy metal compounds in this area is due to the impact of the Armanis deposit. The article uses data from the Center for Hydrometeorology and Monitoring of the Ministry of the Environment.

This study integrates the improved understanding of the effects of future climate change on various sectors across the United States that include 2104 river basins, 14 megaregions, 74 national forests and grasslands, and 5 croplands. The findings highlight that farmers who are living in the Houston region and have sorghum or cotton lands are likely the most vulnerable group to future climate change in the United States. The integrated concepts in this letter can help all decision-makers to combine and coordinate diverse adaptation and mitigation strategies into a whole to attenuate the negative impacts of climate change such as water shortage, aridification, and wildfire disasters.

The present study was aimed at assessing the hydrogeochemical characteristics of groundwater with a view to identifying key processes controlling groundwater chemistry and in so doing identify any quality concerns. A total of 30 water samples were analysed for concentrations of major ions (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, SO4 2-, HCO3 - , CO3 - and Cl- ); while in-situ measurements of pH, temperature, total dissolved solids TDS and electrical conductivity EC were made. Conventional graphical plots (Gibbs, Piper, and ionic ratios) of ionic concentrations in the groundwater were used to characterize water Facies and identify major processes responsible for the ionic assemblage. The study area is underlain by two main rock types, schist and gneiss. Dominance of cations is in the order: Na+>Ca2+>Mg2+>K+; while that of the anions is in the order: HCO3 - >SO4 2-> Cl- >CO3 - . Groundwater in the study area is characterized by four types: Na-Cl type (33%); Mixed Ca-Mg-Cl type (30%); Mixed Ca-Na-HCO3 type (27%) and Mg-HCO3 type (10%). Gibbs plot indicated that the ions were mainly sourced from rock-water interaction through dissolution and leaching of the gneisses and schists of the study area. However, relatively high concentration of Cl may be due to anthropogenic activities, hence the Na-Cl water type. In terms of quality for domestic purposes, concentrations of analyzed ions and the physical parameters are within the permissible limits of both WHO and SON (NSDWQ, 2007), with the exception of a few locations that had high pH (up to 9.2) and another location with a high TDS concentration (1040mg/L). Assessment for irrigation purposes using indices such as SAR, PI, RSC and %Na show that most of the groundwater samples were suitable for use as source of water for irrigation.

In the biosphere, as in each ecosystem subordinate to it, producers, consulates, detritophages and reducents interact with each other and with the environment. During this interaction, living organisms create a certain flow of substances and energy from some components of the system to others, which ensures the integrity and sustainable maintenance of life of the biosphere as a global ecosystem. That is, from various chemical elements and their compounds that support the life of individual species, a common (global) cycle of substances and energy is formed in the biosphere.

Substitution of fossil energy resources by alternative, renewable energy-carriers is an acute problem on our planet today taking into account natural decrease of fossil resources and adverse consequences accelerating climate change. Presently there is widespread support for renewable energy, particularly of solar and wind energy, which provide electricity without rising of carbon dioxide emissions. Harnessing these for electricity depends on the cost and efficiency of the technology, which is constantly improving, and reducing costs per kilowatt. In this connection, the problems of substitution of fossil fuel by alternative, renewable energy sources are evaluated in Georgia too. The alternative renewable energy resources are evaluated and analyzed in the context of agreement between the EU and Georgia about priority use of renewable. The national development plan is made up to summarize existed and perspective resources and policy and goals to achieve. This plan is designating the share of renewable energy resources for 2020-2030 years in sectors of transport, electric power energetic, heating-cooling etc. taking into account energy efficiency.
