The consumption of fresh water has increased rapidly in recent years. Industrialization, urbanization, and population growth have resulted in deterioration of surface and groundwater quality. It is very important to manage groundwater resources and protect them from anthropogenic activities in order to sustain life on earth. This paper discusses methods for assessing the quality of groundwater using statistical and geospatial techniques. In addition, geographic information system (GIS)-integrated statistical methods are also discussed. Statistical methods, including quality indices, irrigation water quality parameter, and geospatial methods, including inverse distance weighted (IDW) and kriging strategies for evaluating groundwater quality and assessing aquifer susceptibility are also explained. In addition, the paper provides an overview of key groundwater quality indices (GWQI) and irrigation water quality indices (IWQI) that have developed over time and used for groundwater quality evaluation around the world. It is revealed that the use of GIS-integrated advanced statistical approaches is not common in assessments of groundwater quality. The constraints and research gaps of previous studies, as well as the prospects for future research needs have been examined.","PeriodicalId":497981,"journal":{"name":"The holistic approach to environment","volume":"31 27","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138601605","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}

Improper plastic waste management generates greenhouse gases and harmful waste. Plastics and its associated by-products, such as microplastics, accumulate on land and in the oceans causing harm to human and ecological health. An environmentally friendly solution, such as enzymes-mediated biocatalytic depolymerization, is required for efficient management of the large amount of waste generated around the world. Actinomycetes are less explored for commercial biodegradation processes but have attracted attention since they constitute a significant proportion of the soil and aquatic flora and because of their ability to degrade complex materials. This study involves identification of laccase-producing marine actinomycetes and examining the possibility of accelerating the rate of biodegradation of polyethylene by treating with laccase enzyme. The polyethylene test material treated with laccase enzyme for 30 days shows 9.36 percent rate of biodegradation, which was six times higher than the rate of biodegradation of an untreated one. The change in the chemical structure of the polyethylene was studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. After treatment with laccase enzyme, the carbonyl index of the polyethylene test material increased to 1.25 indicating that the polymer was oxidized, and post biodegradation study showed that the carbonyl index decreased to 0.66 which confirms the concept that oxidized polymer was utilized by the microorganisms. The laccase-producing isolate A-09 showed 99 percent identity as Streptomyces rubiginosus based on molecular fingerprinting.","PeriodicalId":497981,"journal":{"name":"The holistic approach to environment","volume":"36 35","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138601382","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}

This research aims to contribute to the restoration plans of the said forest in the district of Birni-Lafia in north Benin. In order to achieve this, questionnaire surveys and interviews were conducted with 79 people through random sampling in all of the villages of the district. The importance value index (IVI) of the pressures and the response rate were calculated. Mainly occupied by the rônier (Borassus aethiopum) originally, the GFR is particularly threatened by agriculture (IVI = 1), illegal exploitation (IVI = 0.94), grazing (IVI = 0.64), hunting (IVI = 0.51) and herbal medicine (IVI = 0.36). These pressures cause the disappearance of plant species (100 %), animal species (94 %), land degradation (89 %), etc. Today, the dominant occupation unit is a rice growing area with 327.7598 ha of cultivated territory. Therefore, it seems that the GFR is losing its forest identity. It is necessary to create new participatory management plan for the forest, initiate reforestation activities, set up a fixed co-management committee for the forest and create annual reports on the state of management of its resources in order to limit these pressures.","PeriodicalId":497981,"journal":{"name":"The holistic approach to environment","volume":"21 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138603264","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}
