This volume presents a selection of contributions from international environmental scholars and water researchers. The book includes significant topics on earth and environmental sciences such as water resources and water quality, soil quality and sediment contamination, air pollution and climate change, and issues related to clean production. The themes were chosen according to the current global issues covering major aspects of their respective fields. The aim of the book was to discover advances, experiences and innovative ideas on issues related to earth and environmental sciences, to share experiences and research findings, discuss challenges encountered and solutions in order to have opportunities to establish productive new academic and industry research collaborations.
Groundwater is the most important source of domestic, industrial, and agricultural water and also a finite resource. Population growth has created an unprecedented demand for water, with the situation most critical in the developing world, where several million people depend on contaminated groundwater for drinking purposes. Geogenic contaminants,
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 19th International Workshop on Security and Trust Management, STM 2023, co-located with the 28th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, ESORICS 2023, held in The Hague, The Netherlands, during September 28th, 2023 The 5 full papers together with 4 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 15 submissions. The workshop presents papers with topics such as security and privacy, trust models, security services, authentication, identity management, systems security, distributed systems security, privacy-preserving protocols.
This book intends to bring together and integrate the subject matter of water quality. The book covers aspects of water related to climate change, emerging aspects of engineering sciences, bio-geochemical sciences, hydro geochemistry, river management and morphology, social sciences, and public policy. The book covers the role of disruptive innovations in water management, policy formation and impact mitigation strategies. The book includes lab results as well as case studies. It provides recommendations and solutions for policy making and sustainable water management. The chapters in this book deal cohesively with many aspects of the water environment during the Anthropocene era. The contents cover myriad issues, such as land degradation, water scarcity, urbanization, climate change, and disruptive innovation. The book also discusses issues highly pertinent to society and sustainability, such as the prevalence of enteric viruses and pharmaceutical residues as a possible anthropogenic markers in the aquatic environment. The book will prove useful for students, professionals, and researchers working on various aspects of water related concerns.

The report summarizes key results from surveys carried out on urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) in Tamale (Ghana) and Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) in 2013. The aim was to provide a broad overview of the state of UPA in the study cities and a basis for future research endeavors. The randomized sampling approach used aerial photography to identify 10 sites in different categories of farm in each city. Farmers provided information on their cropping and livestock-rearing activities. There were similarities between the cities, but the differences in the expression of UPA in Tamale and Ouagadougou were more intriguing, as in farm sizes, crops grown and livestock ownership. Farmers were particul...
The Science of Horticulture' exposes all the stake holders-students, scientists, extension officers, farmers, policy planners to recent scientific research findings in horticulture. Marketing of horticulture produces has assumed prime importance in a global market with establishment of World Trade Organisation (WTO). Many trade related agreements were signed among over 110 countries. The Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement) specifically represents the resolve of al member countries to use intellectual property as one of the means of achieving economic balance and diminishing the trade barrieThe legislative history elaborates the genesis of TRIPS agreement, General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), Madrid Agreement, Chairman's draft, Dunkel draft, general protection under article 22 and certain aspects of TRIPS definition. Malabar Pepper, Alleppy Green Cardamom, Assam Tea, Darjeeling Tea, Nilgiri Tea and Coorge Orange are a few horticultural crops which got registered under Gi appellation.
