“…Conceptual models of how human health depends upon ecosystem health (and vice versa) are being developed, but this connection is generally ascribed to tangible connections, for example, documented links between infectious disease transmission and ecological degradation (46). Evidence of bidirectional links between human health and ecosystems has inspired calls for healthcare systems to address access to, and the health of, natural settings to adequately nurture human health (20,(47)(48)(49)(50).…”

Ecosystems provide many of the material building blocks for human well-being. Although quantification and appreciation of such contributions have rapidly grown, our dependence upon cultural connections to nature deserves more attention. We synthesize multidisciplinary peerreviewed research on contributions of nature or ecosystems to human well-being mediated through nontangible connections (such as culture). We characterize these connections on the basis of the channels through which such connections arise (i.e., knowing, perceiving, interacting with, and living within) and the components of human well-being they affect (e.g., physical, mental and spiritual health, inspiration, identity). We found enormous variation in the methods used, quantity of research, and generalizability of the literature. The effects of nature on mental and physical health have been rigorously demonstrated, whereas other effects (e.g., on learning) are theorized but seldom demonstrated. The balance of evidence indicates conclusively that knowing and experiencing nature makes us generally happier, healthier people. More fully characterizing our intangible connections with nature will help shape decisions that benefit people and the ecosystems on which we depend.

“…However, human activities are continuously modifying the physical, chemical, and biological composition of the environment. It is, therefore, essential to understand them as the existence, and survival of human beings depend upon the appropriate interactions with the environment (Butler et al 2005;UNESCO 1995;Gibbs 1970).…”

A water quality investigation was carried out in the Deoria district, Ganga plain, to assess the suitability of surface and groundwaters for domestic, agricultural, and industrial purposes. As much as 50 representative samples from river and groundwater were collected from various stations to monitor the water chemistry of various ions, comprising Ca 2? , Mg 2? , Na ? , K ? , HCO 3 -, SO 4 2-, NO 3 -, Cl -, F -, and trace metals, such as Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Cd, and Pb. The results showed that electrical conductance (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), HCO 3 -, Mg 2? , Na ? , and total hardness (TH) are above the maximum desirable limit, and apart from Fe and Mn all other trace metals are within the maximum permissible limit for drinking water. The calculated values for sodium absorption ratio (SAR), salinity, residual sodium carbonate (RSC), and permeability index (PI) indicate well to permissible use of water for irrigation. High values of Na%, RSC, and Mg-hazard (MH) at some stations restrict its use for agricultural purpose. Anthropogenic activities affect the spatial variation of water quality. Economic and social developments of the study area is closely associated with the characteristics of the hydrological network.
