Understanding the changes in water consumption structure in order to take measures for demand control is very important for sustainable water resources management. In this study, using the Southern China area of Nanjing as an example, we employed the information entropy method to analyze the water consumption structure, as well as the grey incidence analysis to analyze synthetic incidence degre...

evaluation soil erosion is an important matter to protecting it from destroying in future due to the excessive use of the inherent capacity of soil and also improper management. therefore, in this study land vulnerability related to water and wind erosion of abyek for crops and pasture land has been evaluated, using raizal model as one of the microleis sub-models. morphological and physical and...

The Water Poverty Index WPI was created as an interdisciplinary indicator to assess water stress and scarcity, linking physical estimates of water availability with the socioeconomic drivers of poverty. This index has found great relevance in policy making as an effective water management tool, particularly in resources allocation and prioritization processes. Two conceptual weaknesses exist in...

Limited availability of freshwater and increasing demand for food require careful management of available resources. However, information on water utilization within river basins is often inadequate for comprehensive water management. Therefore, researchers are developing new tools and methodologies to overcome these data problems. A major concern for land use planning is the identification of ...

construction plans are regarded as the basis of the economy in the society. any delays in the utilization of projects can cause to waste the investments and the loss of technical and economic justifications. in this paper, the barriers of on-time delivery in water projects will be scrutinized in mazandaran regional water company. so, the independent variables such as management obstacles, cultu...

In order to determine the sustainable supporting capacity of current Kiamusze water utilization situation to future society and economy, a dynamic simulation model of water resources sustainable utilization was built based on system dynamics (SD). The simulation results indicated that current Kiamusze water resources could not satisfy future demand of industrial and agricultural production and ...

BACKGROUND Canadians receive over 422 million prescriptions and spend over $26 billion annually on drugs. Yet, we do not systematically capture information on whether the right drugs reach the right people with the intended benefits, while avoiding unintended harm. It is important to identify and understand the effectiveness of approaches used to improve prescribing and medication use. OBJECT...
