Indian monsoon onset over Kerala (climatological mean is on 1st June with a deviation of ±10 days, but there are some exceptions), then monsoon progresses throughout India. Over Andhra Pradesh (AP), the summer monsoon or Southwest monsoon provides rainfall from June through September. An El Nino/La Nina event affects global phenomena such as the summer monsoon. Nino 3.4 index served as an index for forecasting El Nino/La Nina events. Nino 3.4 Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies were used for...

This study provides information on the length-weight relationship and condition factor of Bagrus bayad, a fish species from Lake Albert. These variables were analysed from 520 samples collected from Lake Albert (DR Congo) between January and December 2020. The mean total length and total weight of B. bayad, (combined sexes) were 47.43 ± 7.81 (cm) and 495.34 ± 293.36 (g), respectively. The b-value of the weight-length relationship varied from 2.20 to 3.21. Males exhibited a negative...

The objective of this study is to assess the water quality of Lake Albert based on its physico-chemical characteristics in relation with Bagrus bayad ecology in the province of Ituri in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The study undertaken between December 2019 and November 2020 in six stations (Drigi, Kicha ya Drigi, Grand Bale, Ingbokolo, Njerere and Songa Tabu) allowed the measurement of physical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and temperature (T), Turbidity, Total Di...

A study was conducted to investigate the behavior and mechanics of NaX zeolite on the adsorption of (Pb 2 , Cd 2 , and Cu 2 ) from simulated wastewater. NaX zeolite was synthesized from coal gangue by an Alkali-based hydrothermal process. A number of techniques have been employed to analyze the production of adsorbents, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with X-ray energy analysis (SEM-EDX), Fourier transform infrared...

In contemporary times, the pace of climatic changes is increasing at an alarming rate, therefore there is a need to adopt the most reliable technologies to monitor and sustain our environments. Therefore, the aim of this study is to define the morphometric attributes of Ajeokuta River Basin using earth observation system based data in geographic information system environment. Morphometric characterization of the basin has been carried out to understand the spatial variations in morphometric par...

Water Safety Plan (WSP) is considered as a collaborative approach dedicated to the risks of water impurity in a drinking water operating system, started at the catchment and finished at the end user, to protect people’s health. The aim of this study is to accomplish a WSP for the drinking water operation system of Azraq Spring. It is located in Fuhais in the northwestern part of Balqa, about 20 km west of Amman. The catchment area is 23.71 km 2 and it has a perimeter of 20.42 km. Semi-...

The name of water is called life. Providing safe drinking water is one of the momentous public health precedencies and the drinking water quality is closely associated with human health. The most important human well-being is affordable, abundant, and clean drinking water. This study has been conducted for assessing the drinking water quality of various locations in Noakhali. Total of nine water samples have been collected from three different locations (Sadar, Begumgonj, and Hatiya). Each sampl...

Increased groundwater abstraction may lead to decline in water levels. This study investigated the effects of oil production on groundwater levels in Lokichar basin in Turkana County, Kenya. The specific objectives were to: 1) establish changes in groundwater demand and 2) determine borehole water levels in the study area. Water levels for two boreholes within the study area were recorded between 12th August and 11th September 2020. The Kenya Ministry of Water and Irrigation Design Manual guidel...

Bafoussam is situated between latitude 5.42N - 5.60N and longitude 10.38E - 10.48E, is the capital and largest city in the Western Region of Cameroon. Increased urbanization and agricultural activities have potentials for trace metal pollution of groundwater. As such, trace metals evaluation of groundwater in Bafoussam is among the most important environmental issues related to contamination from natural and anthropogenic sources. This study investigated the trace metal content of groundwater so...

Our planet faces a challenge of producing food to meet the demand of current population which is projected to increase by the year 2050. This implies producing more food from the existing fresh water resources which are already stressed. This is because agriculture accounts for 70% global fresh water consumption; the rest is domestic and industrial use. Yet, water is unevenly distributed globally, causing some countries to be water-rich and others water-poor. Agricultural water management provid...
