“…Heavy grazing can lead to serious grassland degradation within three to five years, yet grassland degradation is considered one of the main reasons for the decrease in the water-conservation function across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [7]. Some progress has been made by research that has addressed the effect of grassland degradation on the water-conservation function of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.…”

The degradation of alpine grasslands directly affects their ability to conserve water, but changes in soil water storage in grassland under different degrees of degradation are poorly understood. Here, we selected four grassland plots along a degradation gradient: no-degradation grassland (NG), lightly degraded grassland (LG), moderately degraded grassland (MG) and severely degraded grassland (SG). We then applied an automatic soil moisture monitoring system to study changes in soil water storage processes. Results revealed significant (p < 0.05) differences in soil water storage among NG, LG, MG and SG. Specifically, LG lost 35.9 mm of soil water storage compared with NG, while soil water storage in LG, MG and SG decreased by 24.5%, 32.1% and 36.7%, respectively. The shallow groundwater table, air temperature and grass litter were the key controlling factors of soil water storage in the grassland. Grazing and future global warming will significantly reduce soil water storage in alpine grasslands.

“…Focusing on sustainable water resources planning, non-conventional water resources were studied to evaluate surface-groundwater interactions (Eshtawi et al 2016 ). An optimization model that involves conventional and unconventional water has been developed to maximize the water allocation and distribution efficiency (Molinos-Senante et al 2014 ).…”

Humanity could face the COVID-19 epidemic to crystallize a sustainable future for the water, hygiene, and food sectors. The epidemic has affected the sustainability of water, food, and health institutions in Egypt. Water consumption levels have increased in the agricultural sector to ensure food security. Regular handwashing is one of the most important measures to prevent the epidemic, and this has an impact on water consumption. The purpose of the research is to reshape sustainable development trajectory due to COVID-19 pandemic in Egypt through three interdependent phases: the first is devoted to forecast how the pandemic could be spreading in Egypt, the second is assigned to foresee implications and consequences of the pandemic on water, food, and human activities, and the third is dedicated to exploring how Egypt could utilize non-conventional water resources as a precious resource to fight the pandemic and explore sustainable recovery strategies. The results could be summarized as the diffusion of COVID-19 pandemic may be considered a group of evolutionary processes. The vision of growth to a limit may be applied; the number of cases of COVID-19 grows rapidly, but the growth will be reduced due to negative feedback signals from the environment. The paper concludes that the COVID-19 epidemic could be addressed by enhancing the water sector to better cope with future shocks. Water, food, health, and work opportunities could be provided and managed sustainably. The need to provide water to wash the hands of all citizens has been emphasized to fight the coronavirus. Non-conventional water resources could be an engine to ambitious plans to drive economic growth through megaprojects. Egypt would enable transforming this crisis into an opportunity to accelerate the pace of action towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals.

The increasing demand of raw water in DKI Jakarta has caused excessive groundwater abstraction. It causes the groundwater level drop to certain level and has emerged cone of depression in some areas. Groundwater management as an effort to recover the groundwater level, requires an integrated groundwater monitoring system. Recently, there are approximately 161 groundwater monitoring wells in Jakarta groundwater basin. Those wells are generally categorized as secondary network, since determined by groundwater abstraction activity. Meanwhile, a representative primary network to monitor the natural condition of groundwater in each aquifer layer is not yet available completely. The method of Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) spatial estimation is applied to determine the number and distribution of primary monitoring wells based on aquifer geometry using Groundwater Modeling System (GMS) software. Based on the aquifer geometry, it can be arranged monitoring zones and the number of monitoring wells in each zone. There are 9 monitoring zones in Jakarta groundwater basin consist of 1 zone with 1 monitoring well, 2 zones with 2 monitoring wells, 3 zones with 3 monitoring wells, and 3 zones with 4 monitoring wells, so that the total of primary monitoring wells for groundwater monitoring in Jakarta groundwater basin is 26 monitoring wells. This research is expected to be useful for stakeholders to optimize the representative monitoring wells network based on aquifer geometry in sustainable groundwater management.Kebutuhan air baku di wilayah DKI Jakarta yang terus meningkat telah menyebabkan pengambilan air tanah yang berlebihan. Hal ini berdampak pada turunnya Muka Air Tanah (MAT) hingga level tertentu dan memunculkan kerucut penurunan MAT di sejumlah wilayah. Pengelolaan air tanah sebagai upaya memulihkan level MAT membutuhkan suatu sistem pemantauan air tanah yang terpadu. Pada saat ini terdapat sekitar 161 sumur pantau air tanah di Cekungan Air Tanah (CAT) Jakarta. Sumur-sumur tersebut pada umumnya dikategorikan sebagai jaringan sekunder, karena ditentukan berdasarkan aktivitas pengambilan air tanah. Sementara itu, jaringan primer yang representatif untuk memantau kondisi alamiah air tanah di tiap lapisan akuifer belum tersedia secara lengkap. Metode estimasi spasial Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) diterapkan untuk menentukan jumlah dan distribusi sumur pantau primer berdasarkan geometri akuifer menggunakan perangkat lunak Groundwater Modeling System (GMS). Berdasarkan geometri akuifer yang dihasilkan dapat disusun zona-zona pemantauan dan jumlah sumur pantau di tiap zona. Terdapat 9 zona pemantauan di CAT Jakarta yang terdiri dari 1 zona dengan 1 sumur pantau, 2 zona dengan 2 sumur pantau, 3 zona dengan 3 sumur pantau, dan 3 zona dengan 4 sumur pantau, sehingga total sumur pantau primer untuk memantau kondisi alamiah air tanah CAT Jakarta adalah 26 sumur pantau. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat bermanfaat bagi pemangku kepentingan untuk menentukan jaringan sumur pantau yang representatif berdasarkan geometri akuifer dala...
