Purpose. To develop and substantiate the conceptual basis of a new approach for ecological diagnostics anthropogenic soil (land) pollution in “risk-critical zones” soil-water interactions within watersheds. This aims to optimize integrated management system, enhance nature protection, improve environmental safety Ukraine. Methods. System analysis, comparative analysis-synthesis evaluation form targeted spatial sampling; extrapolation adaptive transfer procedural-analytical approaches diagnostic network selection; methods design visual representation. Results. Based on systematic analysis publications from Google Scholar, Scopus, Web Science, Springer, as well domestic sources areas water assessment with identification vulnerable (sensitive) territories hot spots, priority (APMA) critical (CSA), an alternative soil, surface groundwater is presented, which preceded by automated program search hydrologically sensitive risk zones contact interaction water, important ecosystem restoration. The mechanism these focused most (hydrologically territories), where under conditions can create risks public health, starting scale individual territorial communities. Conclusions. Greater attention processes will allow controlling reducing inter-environmental pollutants. proposed concept practical terms meets goals basin designed increase efficiency land policies particularly elements managing ecosystems.

The interactions between landscape structure, land use intensity (LUI), climate change, and ecological processes significantly impact hydrological processes, affecting water quality. Monitoring these factors is crucial for understanding their influence on Remote sensing (RS) provides a continuous, standardized approach to capture structures, LUI, changes over long-term time series. In this study, RS-based indicators from Landsat data (2018-2021) were used assess change study area in northern Germany, applying the ESIS/Imalys tool. These then model predict quality (Chl

Recent advancements in Earth Observation sensors, improved accessibility to imagery and the development of corresponding processing tools have significantly empowered researchers extract insights from Multisource Remote Sensing. This study aims use these technologies for mapping summer winter Land Use/Land Cover features Cuenca de la Laguna Merín, Uruguay, while comparing performance Random Forests, Support Vector Machines, Gradient-Boosting Tree classifiers. The materials include Sentinel-2, Sentinel-1 Shuttle Radar Topography Mission imagery, Google Engine, training validation datasets quoted methods involve creating a multisource database, conducting feature importance analysis, developing models, supervised classification performing accuracy assessments. Results indicate low significance microwave inputs relative optical features. Short-wave infrared bands transformations such as Normalised Vegetation Index, Surface Water Index Enhanced demonstrate highest importance. Accuracy assessments that various classes is optimal, particularly rice paddies, which play vital role country’s economy highlight significant environmental concerns. However, challenges persist reducing confusion between classes, regarding natural vegetation versus seasonally flooded vegetation, well post-agricultural fields/bare land herbaceous areas. Forests Trees exhibited superior compared Machines. Future research should explore approaches Deep Learning pixel-based object-based integration address identified challenges. These initiatives consider data combinations, including additional indices texture metrics derived Grey-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix.

Urban lakes provide crucial ecological, social, and economic benefits, but rapid urbanization land use changes have significantly compromised their health sustainability. This study investigates the interrelations among use, temperature, water quality in Vellore (1997–2024) to address sustainable development goals (SDG) 6.4 (water) 13.3 (climate resilience). Satellite derived data revealed a direct correlation between reduced spread area (1.82%) increasing LSTs, underscoring adverse effects of urbanization. Notably, 64% dissolved oxygen (DO) samples surpassed permissible limits. Hardness, electrical conductivity (EC), total solids (TDS) DO emerge as primary influencers Water Quality Index (WQI). It was validated by XGBoost model. Based on WQI most lake classified “Poor” for drinking. Principle component analysis 68% variance with main factors LST, built-up, vegetative cover. Furthermore, suggesting that implementing 30% green buffers, restoring 2–5% WSA, adopting climate-smart urban planning could lower LST 1.8°C. These science-driven strategies align SDGs India’s Smart Cities Mission, offering pathway harmonize ecological resilience safeguard biodiversity under changing climate.

Many of South Africa's current water quality problems have been attributed to diffuse pollution derived from poorly regulated land use/land cover (LULC) transformations. To mitigate these impacts, the preservation an adequate amount natural vegetation within catchment areas is important management strategy. However, it not clear how much required provide levels protection, nor at which scale(s) this strategy would be most effective. investigate possibility estimating minimum thresholds protect resources, regression analysis was used model relationships between (measured using Nemerow's Pollution Index) and metrics multiple scales across a sample sub-catchments located along western, southern, south-eastern coast Africa. With conspicuous outliers removed, models were able explain up 82 % variability in relationship use quality. Moreover, statistically significant, nonlinear, inverse found proportions levels.
