Airports are very energy intensive and have a significant carbon footprint. Thus, the use of renewable green energy is enabling airports to reduce their carbon footprint thereby mitigating their environmental impact. Using an in-depth instrumental case study research design, this study has examined the use of renewable green energy systems by Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Airport and Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. The case study revealed that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport has entirely switched to green sources for its energy consumption needs, thereby making it one of India’s 100 per cent sustainable airports. In April 2022, Mumbai Airport enhanced its usage of green energy when it deployed a 10Kwp Hybrid SolarMill consisting of 2Kwp TurboMill (three Savonious vertical axis type wind turbine (VAWT) and 8Kwp Solar PV modules. The new system has enabled Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to reduce its carbon footprint as the new system will reduce its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 120,000 tonnes per year. In 2022, Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Airport became the first airport in India to be powered entirely by hydro and solar energy sources. This energy-related measure is one of the airport’s key actions to realize its 2030 objective of being a Net Zero Carbon Emission Airport. By moving to renewable sources for its energy requirements, the airport is expected to reduce its carbon footprint by around 200,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per annum. The use of green energy sources has helped the airports to mitigate the harmful environmental impact from the use of fossil-based fuels.","PeriodicalId":14038,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Agriculture and Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90984939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To produce the necessary results, different plant growth regulator combinations were used. The leaves were grown on MS medium supplemented with PVP to prevent the explants from browning. The results showed that adding PVP at a concentration of 1.0 g/l considerably reduced browning. On the induction medium, callus formation occurred during the fourth week of culture; however, callus formation (87.5%) was more prevalent on the ¾ MS medium containing with 10.0 mg/l NAA, 1.0 mg/l BA and 2.0 mg/l 2ip. The greatest development of embryogenic callus (94.50%) occurred on a ¾ MS medium supplemented with 5.0 mg/l NAA and 2.0 mg/l BA. The largest fresh callus weight (3.53 g) was produced by this treatment after four months in culture. On MS medium supplemented with 2.0 TDZ, 1.5 BA and 0.5 NAA, which was regarded as the optimum medium for increasing the number of embryos to 32.10 embryos/culture, the best results (65.67%) were obtained. Further investigation into the stimulation and development of somatic embryogenesis involved using MS basal medium supplemented with BA at 0.5 mg/l, kin at 0.1 mg/l and NAA at 0.05 mg/l; this treatment formed the most leaves (20.11 leaf/cluster). The cluster of shoots grown on MS basal medium supplemented with BA at 2.0 mg/l and NAA at 0.5 mg/l had the highest leaf number (34.25 leaf/cluster) and leaves length values after three sub-cultures (4.75 cm).

Such terrains are generally associated with the formation of ground instability events (sinkholes & subsidences) causing widespread damage to infrastructure or loss of life. Under section 24 of the Constitution of South Africa, (Act 108 of 1996), safe environment and protection thereof has been elevated to a basic human right. In the context of safe land use planning and sustainable infrastructure development, more particularly post-1994, a series of statutes have been promulgated to provide a legislated framework for building practice in South Africa. The National Building Regulations and Building Standards (Act 103 of 1977) as amended, and the current National Building Regulations (NBR’s), have been promulgated to promote uniformity in the law relating to the erection of buildings in South Africa including prioritizing safe land for human settlement. A key principles is that if conditions of the land on which a building was or is being or is to be erected, shows signs of becoming dangerous to property and/ or life, such conditions must be investigated and secured. However, there seem to be challenges in the practical implementation. This paper therefore presents a review into the legislation pertinent to building practice to identify possible gaps, implementation challenges and damaging effects due to inappropriate development of dolomite land. The research further scrutinizes an influence or lack thereof, of the technical requirements aimed at ensuring sustainable development on geologically hazard prone terrains.","PeriodicalId":14038,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Agriculture and Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135564049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An inventory of the woody flora and a measurement of the dendrometric characteristics of the trees were carried out on 120 plots of 2500 m2 subdivided into plots 12.5 m apart. The species richness was 17 species in 9 genera and 12 families on all the sites investigated, with 11 species on the Kouré plateau, 13 on the Guittodo plateau and 17 in the Gorou Bassounga classified forest. Density was 234.79, 555.09 and 683.79 ind/ha, basal area 4.21, 7.2 and 8.62m2/ha and tree cover 19.8, 45.34 and 60.75¨%, respectively on these three sites. In terms of structure, the stand has a high proportion of relatively young individuals. Shannon's diversity (2.37 to 2.81 bits) indicates that the environments are of low diversity and Pilou's equitability (0.56 to 0.63) highlights a phenomenon of dominance in the three stands. The lowest similarity index (0.44) is obtained between the Kouré plateau and the Gorou Bassounga classified forest, and the highest (0.46) between the Kouré plateau and the Guittodo plateau. These results testify to the low diversity and young structure of this dying vegetation.","PeriodicalId":14038,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Agriculture and Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87547661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through analysis and processing, land use type maps, wetland distribution maps, and research area overview maps are generated, and their land use area, dynamic degree, and transfer matrix are calculated. The results show that from 2013 to 2020, the total area of Suzhou wetlands showed a decreasing trend, with a total change of -8.77%. In the past seven years, Suzhou's urban construction rate has been relatively fast, and the main supply sources of construction land were lakes, mudflats, wetlands, and woodlands.
