However, the growing population and industrialization have intensified the demand for freshwater, posing significant challenges to water resources in Sri Lanka. This review paper focuses on understanding the types and causes of water pollution, with a particular emphasis on surface water pollution, as well as exploring preventive measures in the context of Sri Lanka. Given its severe consequences and the global issue of water scarcity, water pollution has gained attention from researchers, scientists, and organizations. Surface water bodies, such as lakes and rivers, face pollution primarily due to inadequate management of sewage and industrial effluents. Insufficient sanitation facilities in low-income settlements further exacerbate the problem, affecting the country. Despite existing regulations, the lack of monitoring allows improper waste disposal practices to persist. Rural areas experience groundwater contamination from agrochemicals, while urban areas suffer from pollution caused by domestic sewage. Considering the limited resources, prioritizing pollution prevention proves to be a cost-effective approach. Effective control measures are required to address marine pollution, adversely impacting fisheries and tourism. Recognizing the interconnected nature of all types of water pollution is crucial, as they contribute to ecological degradation. To safeguard water resources, several measures must be implemented. These include improving sewage treatment systems, implementing better management practices for industrial effluents, prioritizing pollution prevention strategies, and strengthening monitoring mechanisms. Prioritizing water resource preservation will safeguard ecosystems, support sustainable development, and ensure well-being.","PeriodicalId":409095,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Engineering and Education","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133763985","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}

The study uses an integrated CA-Markov Model to analyze and predict the land use and cover changes from 2003 to 2023 in Chuko Town and its surroundings. LULC maps were extracted from Landsat 5, Landsat 7, and Landsat 8 data and the CA-Markov model simulated the LULC for 2043. The findings reveal a significant expansion of the built-up area, increasing from 243.18 hectares in 2003 to 356.60 hectares in 2013 and further to 982.33 hectares by 2023. In contrast, the bare land decreased from 426.74 hectares in 2003 to 388.86 hectares in 2013 and 280.26 hectares in 2023. However, the vegetation category remained relatively stable, with areas of 2241.81 hectares, 2221.58 hectares, and 2085.53 hectares in 2003, 2013, and 2023, respectively. The validation model for 2023 showed an overall KIA value of 0.8, indicating reasonable prediction accuracy. Looking ahead to 2023-2043, the built-up area is projected to increase by 721.81 hectares, while the areas of bare land, agriculture, and vegetation are predicted to decrease by 182.03 hectares, 386.29 hectares, and 153.49 hectares, respectively. This projection suggests reducing vegetation, agriculture, and bare land areas by 2043.

The objectives are to identify key themes and patterns that emerge from farmers' perceptions, understand the factors influencing acceptance or resistance to hydroponics, gain insight into this modern farming technique's potential advantages and challenges, and create informative material to enhance farmers' perceptions of hydroponics. The study aims to provide valuable information to policymakers, researchers, and agricultural industry stakeholders, contributing to a better understanding of hydroponics' feasibility and potential adoption among small-scale farmers. A series of interviews were conducted, and a thorough thematic analysis was employed to identify recurring themes and trends in the perspectives of small-scale farmers on hydroponics. Findings reveal that hydroponics is not accessible to all farmers, with only a tiny percentage familiar with this farming method and its associated benefits. This knowledge is crucial for developing strategies to integrate hydroponics into existing agricultural systems, promote sustainable practices, and support small-scale farmers to improve their living conditions and access food resources. The study's outcomes aim to fill the knowledge gap surrounding small farmers' perceptions of hydroponics, contributing to informed policies, research advancements, and industry practices. By bridging this gap, stakeholders can make informed decisions and create targeted interventions that encourage the adoption of hydroponics as a viable farming technique among small-scale farmers.

To overcome the challenges posed by these tides, local tricycles, a form of public transportation, have been modified with elevated sidecars and driver's seats that remain above the water level. These modified tricycles are locally known as Tikling. This study aims to identify the perceived risks associated with public transportation, specifically Tikling, during tidal flooding events in selected Barangays in Hagonoy, Bulacan, Philippines. The researchers employed a mixed-method design to gather the necessary information and address the study's objectives. Data were collected from 161 respondents, including 130 passengers, 25 Tikling drivers, and six representatives from local government units and the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office. The findings revealed that passengers perceive riding Tikling under different weather conditions, flood levels, and ground clearance to pose moderate risks, as indicated by a mean score of 6.42, and that floods contribute to increased travel time and fare. The recommendations from the local government units include revisiting tariffs to establish accurate travel fees, conducting an Education Information Campaign to raise awareness about the risks associated with traveling, improving the structural quality of Tikling, and promoting coordination between the Pedicab Tricycle Operators and Drivers Associations (PETODA), a local association of tricycle drivers, and the local government office. The study suggests standardizing Tikling to minimize the risks involved. This standardization should address factors such as ground clearance, materials used, and the appropriate design of these modified public vehicles.","PeriodicalId":409095,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Engineering and Education","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126356306","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}

The use of medium-resolution satellite data and the uniqueness of the mangrove ecosystem are generally involved in discriminating healthy mangroves from non-mangrove areas. This study focused on detecting degraded narrow patches of mangroves on the Eastern coast of Sri Lanka using Landsat 8 remote sensing data and five vegetation indices. The accuracy of the results was assessed using randomly generated points. The study used ArcGIS Desktop software for processing, analyzing, and integrating spatial data to meet the research objectives. The mangroves were detected using Landsat 8 OLI satellite images from 2018 and 2021. The results showed high overestimation/underestimation and misclassification of mangroves, thus applying Mangrove Quality Index (MQI). Findings of MQI provide insights into overall mangrove health and identify three degradation classes of mangroves on the Eastern coast of Sri Lanka. The application of MQI in well-developed and degraded mangrove ecosystems merits further investigations, which provide reliable information for conservation priorities.","PeriodicalId":409095,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environment, Engineering and Education","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133005582","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}

A 30-item close-ended assessment with 5-item follow-up questions was constructed to determine and compare the level of awareness, attitudes, and practices on HSWM between Barangay Bignay, Valenzuela (urban group), and Barangay Santa Elena, Hagonoy (rural group). The data was analyzed using One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to know the significant relationship between the bases (i.e., awareness, attitudes, and practices) in both barangays. Findings showed that the awareness of HSWM, practices, and attitude was high in the urban area, having a p-value of 0.003474, a lesser p-value than in rural with 0.007341. The comparisons analyzed using ANOVA reflecting a p-value of 0.96 concluded that there is a significant difference between the bases on the two groups since it is greater than the 0.50 level of significance. The bases were determined to have a positive relationship and thus directly affect the respondents' applications on HSWM and their communities.
