“…This research aims at the assessment of water security in Palestinian cities in the West Bank of Jordan [9][10][11]. It is conducted using a semi-quantitative approach [26][27][28][29], which includes the following steps: selection of the water security indicators according to the water security challenges in the Palestinian territories, determination of the security score and weight for each indicator and, finally, determination of the water security score and index for selected cities.…”

This paper presents an assessment of the urban water security in a severe water stress area using a semi-quantitative risk-based approach. Water security indicators are selected according to the recommendations of international institutions, the literature review and the opinion of a panel of water experts. Selected indicators cover three fields: water resources, water services and water governance. The field of water resources is described by indicators related to the water resources availability, annual precipitation and the ratio of treated water, while the water services field is described by indicators related to the water service coverage, water losses and the continuity of water supply. Water governance includes three indicators: role and responsibility, access to water information and stakeholder engagement. Water security assessment is conducted in three stages: (i) data collection for five Palestinian cities in the West Bank of Jordan, (ii) determination of the risk score for each indicator using collected data and an expert’s opinion, (iii) determination of the global water security score and water security index using the matrix risk assessment and the wise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) methods. Results show that water risk is ranked as extreme for all cities. Risk related to water resources is a major contributor to global risk, followed by water governance.

“…Aquatic ecosystems are indisputably the most vulnerable infrastructure of every nation in the world. Their high-level vulnerability stems from their root state as they exist in the environment, which is affected by climatic properties, their intensity, and in recent centuries also by anthropogenic factors caused by human activities [1,2]. If one has no means and no influence on the course of natural events in the climate sector, they can at least carry out an analysis of these events using suitable mathematical methods [3,4] and take necessary measures to mitigate the negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems, at the minimum in the following areas:…”

The permanent protection of groundwater and surface sources of drinking water in the required raw water quality from contamination is the primary foundation of preserving the life of society and the entire engineering infrastructure operability not only in the Czech Republic but also in other countries of the world. One of the basic ways of contamination prevention enhancement and risk mitigation of putting a water source out of operation is the identification of the given risk as well as soil contamination monitoring. The purpose of this study is to understand specific aspects of contamination threats to drinking water sources and determine possible solutions to eliminate the risk, shown in the example case study in the Czech Republic conditions. Based on the findings, a proposal to enhance the prevention of water source contamination has been elaborated in the form of recommendations regarding the ways and means used to monitor the risk areas and to implement technical measures so as to eliminate or terminate the specified risk. A complex approach based on the integration of interdisciplinary factors and methodology is required to minimize the threats of aquatic ecosystems contamination in the Czech Republic.

“…In order to identify the influencing factors and environmental impacts of reservoir-type water sources, the reservoir-type water source vulnerability (WSV) assessment method was established by Zhang et al and was successfully applied to Tianjin Yuqiao Reservoir [29]. In order to evaluate the feasibility of using groundwater as an emergency water source to alleviate the effects of drought, the groundwater model in arid areas was established by Mussá et al [30] In order to use limited groundwater resources more efficiently and rationally, Bozek et al [31] proposed a semi-quantitative risk assessment method for emergency groundwater source to improve the distribution and dispatch of groundwater resources in the Czech Republic. Capelli et al [32] discussed an approach for identifying "strategic groundwater resources" for human consumption and the approach was illustrated in the northern Latium volcanic complexes of Italy.…”

Based on the geological and hydrogeological conditions, and in situ hydrogeological tests of the emergency groundwater source in Nantong City, China, a 3D numerical model of the heterogeneous anisotropy in the study area was established and calibrated using data from pumping and recovery tests. The calibrated model was used to simulate and predict the water level of the depression cone during the emergency pumping and water level recovery. The results showed that after seven days of pumping, the water level in the center of the depression cone ranged from −51 m to −55 m, and compared with the initial water level, the water level dropped by 29 m to 32 m. The calculated water level has a small deviation compared with that of the analytical solution, which indicates the reliability and rationality of the numerical solution. Furthermore, during water level recovery, the water level of pumping wells and its surroundings rose rapidly, which was a difference of about 0.28 m from the initial water level after 30 days, indicating that the groundwater level had recovered to the state before pumping. Due to the emergency pumping time is not long, the water levels of Tonglu Canal, surrounding residential wells, and other aquifers will not be affected. After stopping pumping, the water level recovers quickly, so the change of water level in a short time will not lead to large land subsidence and has little impact on the surrounding environment.
