Horticulture Irrigation Systems and Aquaculture Water Usage: A Perspective for the Use of Aquaponics to Generate a Sustainable Water Footprint

Published: May 9, 2024

The expansion of food production is getting more important due to a rising world population, which relying on security regional and local scale. Intensive systems create negative impact the ecosystem because agrochemical pollution nutrient rich water discharges into nearby rivers. Furthermore, these are highly depending resources causing scarcity soil erosion overexploitation natural in general. objective this article review usage two most intensive systems, agriculture aquaculture showing lacking areas, like system management climate change, must be considered implementation sustainable footprint. In addition, includes an analysis if combination both aquaponic possibilities saving. There variety footprint analyses for crop aquatic animal production, but there also lack information about including irrigation cleaning processes, substitution, pond removal, evaporation change especially aquaculture, industrial elaborated fish feed.

Exogenous, Endogenous, and Peripheral Actors: A Situational Analysis of Stakeholder Inclusion within Transboundary Water Governance

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(9), P. 3647 - 3647

Published: April 26, 2024

Transboundary water governance involves collaborative decision-making across geopolitical boundaries to manage shared resources sustainably. While this approach integrates public, private, and community efforts, little scrutiny has been directed toward the involvement of non-institutionally affiliated stakeholders. This study critically examines stakeholder participation in Upper Klamath Basin by investigating how deficiencies inclusion impede transboundary management processes favoring institutionally actors. Findings reveal differential influence “endogenous” (directly involved), “exogenous” (indirectly “peripheral” (limited engagement influence) endogenous exogenous actors have formal or informal ties institutions, peripheral lack institutional affiliation(s), making it difficult for them participate ultimately processes. Their limited access financial, natural, social capital further restricts their with efforts. imbalance underscores challenges equity Addressing exclusion from requires that institutions prioritize inclusivity, fostering transparency, incentivizing inclusive practices, comparing enhance effectiveness management.

Use of Rainwater Harvesting from Roofs for Irrigation Purposes in Hydroponic Greenhouse Enterprises

Atmosphere, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(8), P. 884 - 884

Published: July 25, 2024

This study was conducted to determine the irrigation water demand due solar radiation in high-tech greenhouses using hydroponic systems Turkey’s Mediterranean and continental climates, annual consumption storage capacity with harvested rainwater. Intensive greenhouse cultivation recent increase modern were important factors selecting provinces for study. The chosen Antalya Adana, a climate, Afyonkarahisar Kırşehir, climate. In this research, depending on production period, amount of consumed per unit area Antalya, which has determined be 1173.52 L m−2 yr−1, it 1109.18 yr−1. where climate prevails, calculated 1479.11 yr−1 1370.77 respectively. Storage volumes Kırşehir found 438.39 m−2, 122.71 42.12 43.65 For rates rainwater harvesting meeting plants’ 80.79%, 54.27%, 27.47% 25.16%, addition, fee savings that could achieved by USD 901.3 835.3 247.6 210.2 Kırşehir. As result, will not only provide economic gain enterprises but also reducing negative effects irregular rainfall regimes caused change underground surface resources. It concluded should focus popularizing harvesting.
