Retention reservoirs are one of the basic elements water management. Multifunctional, they used for flood protection, drought prevention and other purposes. Water can also play a fundamental role in improving navigability on lower section Vistula River from Włocławek barrage to mouth Gdansk Bay. Their implementation is determinant possibility restoring economic river question. Therefore, purpose this research was determine current navigation conditions state regulatory buildings Lower Vistula. The investments necessary achieve international parameters waterway were determined, together with calculation financial benefits related their implementation. This possible based conducted bathymetric measurements, spatial analyses, calculations queries obtained studies. It established that fairway depths 1.4 m ensured 180 days per year average. On hand, construction five barrages (Siarzewo, Solec Kujawski, Chełmno, Grudziądz Gniew) will make it at least class IV (international) waterway. In addition, enable retention 1.2 billion m3 be associated such as shipping use, protection counteracting effects drought. account, annual revenues may amount approximately PLN 3.5 billion. shows profitable, proposed solutions should implemented context sustainable management adaptation climate change.

Efficient waste management is crucial for maintaining a clean and sustainable environment in Indian cities. Patna faces significant challenges due to rapid population growth urbanization. This has resulted increased generation, straining the current system. The state of Bihar ranks poorly waste-management-based Environmental Performance, highlighting need improvement. Although around 4281.27 TPD garbage generated, only 4013.55 collected. Insufficient information regarding processing, landfilling, technology adoption exposes critical gaps solid management, including limited landfill facilities, inadequate implementation, monitoring. Effective ensuring sustainability quality life Patna. To address these challenges, implementation Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) Internet Things (IoT) proposed. study focuses on evaluating most suitable smart system Municipal Corporation. By employing an MCDM model with fuzzy logic-based TFN, authors identified optimal MWM alternative based economic, technical, environmental, social criteria. Findings unequivocally establish IoT-based Door-to-Door (Ʌ1) as effective economical solution urban settings like Patna, characterized by proximity coefficient (PCi) = 0.942809. Furthermore, Social acceptance (ӄ2) emerged influential criterion weight 0.19375. not promises enhanced operational efficiency municipalities but also offers environmental benefits, reduction, improved public health, heightened community engagement.

River ecosystem health assessment (REHA) is crucial for sustainable river management and water security. However, existing REHA methodologies still fail to consider the multiple effects of input uncertainty, environmental stochasticity, decision-maker’s bounded rationality. Moreover, studies primarily focused on plain areas, leaving Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) understudied despite its ecosystems’ heightened fragility complexity. To address these gaps, this study combined Pythagorean fuzzy sets with cloud modeling proposed (PFC) approach. Accordingly, a novel robust model (PFC-TODIM) was created by expanding conventional TODIM method PFC algorithm. We provided an indicator system tailored distinctive characteristics in QTP, leveraging multisource data. health, driving mechanisms, potential threats were investigated Lhasa (LR) using PFC-TODIM model. Results showed that effectively took uncertainties into consideration, thereby improving accuracy robustness. In LR, conditions demonstrated substantial spatial disparities. Sampling sites 28%, 48%, 24% subhealthy, healthy, excellent, respectively. Findings anthropogenic factors, such as dams, urban development, fish release adversely affect should be properly managed.

As one of the world's critical ecological regions – often called "Third Pole" Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) has outstanding ecosystem service values (ESV). However, its variable climate and fragile environmental conditions make it vulnerable to disturbance by human activities. Based on land use data from 2000, 2010, 2020, we developed three simulated scenarios distribution QTP: business as usual (BAU), farmland protection (FP), (EP). Finally, employed Sharpe Index evaluate risk across QTP. The results showed that 2000 change was mainly in form conversion grassland unused land, totaling an area 63,717 km2. value increasing trend, US$752.6 billion US$783.0 2010 2020. simulation revealed significant differences. Farmland shows a declining trend both EP BAU scenarios, while exhibiting FP scenario. Forest plateau experiences decreasing but increase scenario, predominantly southeastern region, including Sichuan Yunnan provinces. assessment indicate eastern region higher compared western highlighting priority for control. expansion built-up had impacts regional risk. Integrating outcomes with planning identify focal areas can provide guidance sustainable development this globally important ecoregion.
