This paper reviews the state of inland waterbodies in South Africa, identifying the major drivers of eutrophication and discussing how different sectors of the economy are negatively impacted by eutrophication. Data indicate that up to 76% of major water impoundments and approximately 70% of major river systems are eutrophic to hypereutrophic and experience protracted periods of cyanobacterial blooms, particularly in the summer months. Negative impacts of eutrophication on the agricultural sector, potable water supply and tourism are well documented and are becoming more explicit. Evidently, nutrient loading patterns into water bodies have changed and become more complex. Although wastewater treatment plants remain the major contributors of nutrient loads to most waterbodies, non-point sources including agricultural runoff, untreated sewage from leaking and overflowing sewer systems, as well as runoff from informal settlements, also make substantial contributions. As a result, the strategies employed to prevent eutrophication, including within-waterbody remediation programs have fallen short in reducing the trophic status of water impoundments and thus ameliorating the symptoms of eutrophication. Tailor-made, integrated management initiatives that target point source, non-point source, and internal nutrient loads are, therefore, required.</p>","PeriodicalId":14121,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140076192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The performance of ecological concrete is largely determined by the nature of the raw materials and their relative content. Therefore, mastering the optimal design method for the mix proportion of ecological concrete is crucial to achieving good performance. In the current research, there is a lack of systematic intelligent decision-making models for predicting performance and optimizing mix proportions. In this paper, four factors, namely mechanical properties, water permeability, decontamination properties, and planting properties of ecological concrete, were considered when evaluating the comprehensive performance of ecological concrete. The evaluation was conducted using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The gray wolf optimizer (GWO) was introduced to enhance the backpropagation (BP) neural network, and an optimization model for finding the optimal ecological concrete mix proportion was established. The optimal mix proportion of two types of typical ecological concrete, one for filtration and one for plant growth, was discussed. The results indicate that the AHP-GWO-BP model calculates the optimal mixing proportion of filtration ecological concrete as follows: The diameter of coarse aggregate is 10–15 mm, with adsorbed coarse aggregate accounting for 49.7%, a component ratio is 118%, the water–cement ratio should be 28.7%, and the silica fume mix ratio should be 32.1%. According to the given parameters, the performance test of ecological concrete is conducted, with a coarse aggregate size of 12 mm. The results showed that under these parameters, the compressive strength was 12.3 MPa, the flexural strength was 3.35 MPa, the water permeability coefficient was 14.87 cm s<sup>−1</sup>, the porosity was 27.23%, the removal rate of total nitrogen was 80.56%, the removal rate of total phosphorus was 67.33%, the pH was 9.16, and the plant dry weight was 9.37 g.

The aim of this study was to investigate multi-level resilience based on social heterogeneity under climate fluctuations in Nodooshan watershed of Yazd province. The survey method and the questionnaire were used to determine the resilience of local beneficiaries. The sample size was calculated using the Cochran sampling formula, and 102 people were selected by random sampling method from 6 villages in Nodooshan watershed. In order to determine the degree of resilience of users in Nodooshan watershed, social network analysis (SNA) was used by the full network method in three ties of social capital (trust, collaboration, and information exchange). The result of the highest effect size in the collaboration network of Nodoushan watershed beneficiaries is 57.75, in the trust network is 45.41 and in the information exchange network is 44.17. Findings show that social capital has led to more resilience of beneficiaries in drought conditions, and the rate of resilience in villages that are more exposed to drought is higher than in villages less exposed to drought. However, the results, in general, show the unfavorable situation of beneficiaries in terms of social capital. In addition, the effect of social network metrics on resilience in the face of climate change in different layers of social heterogeneity, as well as the structure of the exploitation system, is distinct. As a result, developing trust-building programs that address priority issues, resolving people's conflicts through increased and established inter-sectoral communication, and implementing multilevel governance are strongly advised. Therefore, by exploiting these results, planners and policymakers can help and plan to improve the resilience of rural communities faced with drought, self-reliance, and rural development.</p>","PeriodicalId":14121,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140018021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the intrinsic problems related to the different characteristics of the effluent induce unstable process conditions, including the subsequent accumulation of nitrate, which also reduces the partial yield of nitritation. Several studies highlight the persistent obstacles in preventing nitrate accumulation by nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, identified as the main challenge in the partial nitritation process. Consequently, this study conducted a comprehensive literature review, exploring various strategies to overcome these bottlenecks. Addressing the suppression of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and the inhibition of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria involved consideration of operational strategy. Notably, pH emerged as an essential factor affecting microbial activity and process stability, influencing the efficiency of biochemical reactions. In addition, other interferents, such as organic compounds and metals, can influence the health and activity of microorganisms, affecting the overall effectiveness of the nitrogen removal process. The systematic control of various environmental and operational variables is essential for the stability of the process, demonstrating that a single strategy does not define the control of partial nitritation in wastewater. To date, maintaining dissolved oxygen in the range of 0.4 to 1 mg O<sub>2</sub> L<sup>−1</sup> and temperatures between 25 and 35 °C remains the most viable strategy for promoting stable partial nitritation.

Additionally, it aimed to provide insights into the anticipated changes in these climate parameters in the future, across the entire area of the Republic of Serbia. The vegetation was observed using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) obtained from AVHRR/NOAA 11 satellite for the vegetation season (May–October) from 1981 to 2021, while the climate data records used the examination of the relationship between climate indicators and vegetation were monthly mean 2m temperature and precipitation obtained from the ERA5-Land (from April to October).
