“…The situation has similarities to the Aral Sea crisis, which has crossed national borders and gained the interest of neighbouring countries. The Mekong River basin, like many other regions, faces complex interactions and conflicts over water distribution due to multiple nations relying on a shared water source (Gao et al, 2022). The cases of the Aral Sea and Mekong River Basin demonstrate the negative consequences of mismanaging shared water resources, including ecological degradation and socioeconomic instability.…”

La diminution significative du niveau d’eau de la mer d’Aral au cours des cinquante dernières années représente un défi environnemental majeur en Asie centrale. L’Ouzbékistan, autrefois riche en ressources hydriques, doit désormais faire face à la menace de pénurie d’eau dans des zones spécifiques. La mauvaise gestion de l’irrigation est devenue un contributeur important aux problèmes environnementaux mondiaux. Cette étude examine les problèmes liés à la mauvaise gestion de l’irrigation dans les zones rurales d’une province méridionale éloignée de l’Ouzbékistan. L’objectif principal de cette étude est de développer des solutions pratiques pour résoudre efficacement le problème urgent de pénurie d’eau dans la région ciblée. L’étude met en avant l’importance de la planification stratégique et de mesures proactives pour établir une base solide en vue d’une durabilité à long terme au niveau local. Cette étude n’examine pas l’effet de la variabilité climatique mondiale sur la diminution des réservoirs d’eau en Ouzbékistan. Les conclusions de l’étude s’alignent sur les efforts de recherche mondiaux, contribuant ainsi au discours plus large sur la gestion durable de l’eau. Cette recherche a le potentiel de transcender les frontières, de partager les bénéfices avec des études de cas similaires et de promouvoir l’alignement des stratégies liées à l’eau à l’échelle mondiale.

“…• The topoclimate is the climate of a certain location (e.g., a valley or hill-slope), for example the long-term climate of a river basin. In this context, we recommend [4][5][6] to the readers. • The mesoclimate is the climate of a region (e.g., southern Oregon).…”

The study of climatology serves as a foundation for students who wish to specialize in water resources, hydrology, or environmental engineering. Climatology is the study of long-term average weather patterns. It is a distinct field of study from meteorology and is subdivided into a number of subfields. In order to predict the future hydrologic and hydraulic scenarios, knowledge of climatology is essential. In other words, climatology allows us to determine the likelihood of snowfall and hail, the amount of solar thermal radiation that can reach a specific location, etc. Climatology focuses frequently on how the climate has changed over time and how these changes have affected people and events. The primary objective of this technical note is to acquaint and encourage engineers with the basics of the climate and its processes so that they can understand the climatic impact on water resource systems as beginners.

“…At the same time, the JAC Basin has important ecological functions and is an important ecological excess and buffer zone between the Yangtze River Delta and Bohai Rim regions, which is of great significance in guaranteeing national ecological security. Changes in the quality of ecological environment are mainly affected by natural processes and human activities due to strong and continuous human activities, such as lake encirclement, damming, urban expansion, and irrational development [1][2][3][4] as well as the accelerated rate of urbanization in the Jianghuai Valley, the opening of the east line of the South-North Water Diversion, and the demand for increased grain production [5]. These factors have led to a series of threats to the Jianghuai Valley, such as shrinking rivers and lakes, over-exploitation of groundwater, soil erosion, destruction of ecosystem structure, and decline in biodiversity [6][7][8][9].…”

For an in-depth analysis of the ecosystems of the Jianghuai Valley, this study utilized municipal data from 2017 to 2021. In addition, this study established an index scale evaluation system for the quality of the ecological environment in the Jianghuai Valley. This system encompasses five critical dimensions: drivers, pressures, states, impacts, and responses, in accordance with the DPSIR model. The entropy-weighted TOPSIS method combined with the gray correlation method was used to assess the ecological status of each region of the Jianghuai Valley at different time periods and the driving factors affecting the ecological quality of the Jianghuai Valley. Our study yields several key conclusions. First, it was observed that the ecological environment within the Jianghuai Valley showed a continuous upward bias in inter-annual variability. Second, there exists variation in ecological environment quality among the eleven urban areas within the Jianghuai Valley, highlighting regional disparities. Third, among the eleven urban areas in the Jianghuai Valley, Anqing has the best ecological quality, and Huainan has the worst ecological performance. Fourth, the ecological environment quality within the Jianghuai Valley demonstrates an aggregated pattern. From west to east, this pattern is delineated by distinct areas: one marked by excellent ecological environment quality, another exhibiting average ecological environment quality, followed by a zone characterized by good ecological environment quality, and finally, an area with poor ecological environment. Fifth, our analysis reveals that Q9 (indicating the percentage of excellent air days) and Q13 (denoting the annual average temperature) have a pronounced correlation with the Jianghuai Valley’s ecological quality. Conversely, Q3, which pertains to the rate of natural population growth, had the lowest relevance to the ecological quality of the Jianghuai Valley.
