Due to their toxicity, lack of bioaccumulation and biodegradability, ease binding sediments, heavy metals are considered the main pollutants rivers. It is, therefore, necessary control monitor these pollutants. The present study analyzed Krzna River, which flows in southeastern Poland has an outlet Bug River. Over much its length, River forms Poland’s border with Belarus, while origin is Ukraine. purpose conducted research was a qualitative quantitative analysis selected metals, i.e., Ni, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu, bottom sediments surface waters secondary objectives were evaluate level contamination studied matrices identify sources pollution. Eighty samples water from collected for analysis. varying distribution under influence changes temperature, precipitation, humidity, May August 2023. average cadmium content same both August, at 0.6 mg/kg. In contrast, nickel ranged 4.6 6.1 mg/kg 4.8 6.8 August. Only five tested amounts exceeding geochemical background value. Analysis results indicates that only minimal amount remain dissolved waters, remainder contaminates sediments. concentrations as follows: zinc > lead copper cadmium. not high, but time, presence above anthropogenic human activity. Any hydrodynamic conditions various environmental factors may result re-release contained into waters.

The Irawan Watershed in Puerto Princesa, Philippines, is an important resource that supports domestic, agricultural, and industrial water needs. This study applies the Water Evaluation Planning (WEAP) model to project impacts of climate change on future surface availability, integrating findings into Integrated Resource Management (IWRM) framework. Using bias-corrected General Circulation Models (GCMs) under four shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs), this examines scenarios from low high emissions (SSP126, SSP245, SSP370, SSP585) for assessment potential variations supply. results indicate a significant vulnerability especially SSP370 SSP585, where warming pronounced, leading reductions streamflow. Conversely, SSP126 suggests relatively stable conditions with less pronounced hydrological changes. also explores drivers affect demand, including population growth land use changes influence agricultural underscore urgency using adaptive management strategies conserve resources face these anticipated challenges. Key recommendations include optimizing efficiency all sectors, establishing protective zones around natural ecosystems, implementing climate-resilient infrastructure, promoting community engagement management. These measures are critical enhancing security sustainable development within watershed, contributing broader goals Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6. offers decision-makers managers evidence-based framework modeling IWRM, providing valuable insights navigate complexities ensure long- term sustainability Philippines.

Aiming at the complex problems of water resources, energy, food, and ecology in ten parallel tributaries directly joining Yellow River Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (the Ten Kongduis), coordination water–energy–food–ecology (WEFE) system Dalad Banner its townships was studied from perspective coupling time space. First, evaluation index WEFE is constructed, then degree model, grey relationship geographical detector are used to quantitatively evaluate development level spatio-temporal evolution characteristics explore driving mechanism. The results suggest that (1) comprehensive showed a slowly rising trend on whole. growth trends for subsystems integrated assessment 0.65%, 21.02%, 17.01%, 1.17%, 9.96%, respectively. This shows energy subsystem occupies main position. (2) high; mean value 0.967, which high-level stage. But low; 0.668, elementary spatial unbalanced uncoordinated Banner; this phenomenon mainly exists eastern part Banner, with gradual change west center area higher harmonization.

In conditions of low water, it is necessary to provide the population with food and livestock valuable feed on a stable basis. It reported about results growing two varieties amaranth: green leaved red-leaved, using different rates mineral organic fertilizers in sharply continental climate degraded lands nutrient supply. During field experiments, height plants at growth stages, changes leaf area, accumulation dry matter were determined. The research showed that increasing fertilizers, area green-leaved amaranth increases from 332.9 control 1046.2 per plant when N80P60K40 applied, yield increased by 0.3 0.66 dt/ha. application productivity 0.71-1.1 t/ha 0.55-1.0 t/ha, respectively.
