“…According to (Jaybhaye et al, 2014) for averting adverse effects on land credits and future development and moreover for protecting mankind from environmental risks caused by MSW landfill sites, it is necessary that these sites should be far from human settlements. (Kamboj and Pandey, 2017) also suggest that there must be a significant distance between these sites and water resources like rivers and lakes, forests, vegetation, and agricultural land. Barren land, Scrub land, and fallow land are considered to be the most appropriate for dumping sites.…”

Solid waste management is one of the biggest concerns faced by the developing nations like India since phenomenon of urbanization has risen uncontrollably in recent years in these developing countries. This has led to develop and adopt new technologies for more constructive and efficient waste management system so as to reduce the pressure of solid waste management on the authorities as well as on environment. The initial step in the solid waste management is landfill site selection which is quite complex as it implicates many environmental factors. Suitability of the selected site is always accountable for loss or gain of the environment in the future and also it determines the economics and benefits or loss. Hence, it is always advisable that suitability should be determined considering economical and socio-environmental factors. This paper throws a light on the viability of new geospatial technologies like remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) in the process of site selection for municipal solid waste in Calangute/Saligao, Goa, India. For the current study, Weighted Overlay Analysis is used to identify the suitability of the site. The research work identifies the arability of land for disposal of MSW in a systematic manner that ensures the environmental protection and management of waste products. This study provides the suitable dumping sites for municipal solid waste, which may be subjected to the green city management and city planning. Thus, this study provides an advance way to manage the solid waste of an urban area. This study expresses the efficiency of model-based technique that can help to deal with a burning issue like MSW across the globe. This model-based study can reduce laborious activities, minimize the cost of the project. Thus, it helps an urban planner to for better site selection for MSW management and overall city planning. This study will provide a base line for future study like leachate management, land degradation, loss of biodiversity, etc.

“…with different types of land-use forms such as agriculture, residential, construction, industrial set-up, etc. and forest (Bharti et al, 2020;Kamboj et al, 2017). Several water sources are present in this area in the form of groundwater, river or canal system, spring, etc.…”

“…In the last few decades, with growth in urbanization, industrialization, dumping, and inappropriate disposal of solid waste, mining, population explosion, etc., the quality of water sources including surface and groundwater is deteriorating at a greater pace (Kamboj and Pandey, 2017;Kamboj and Kamboj, 2019). Mostly, the urban areas are at the peak that is readily affected (Singh et al, 2013).…”

This study aimed at the qualitative assessment of selected water sources in the lower Shivalik Himalayas atHaridwar province of India using the water quality index (WQI) approach. Samples were collected fromthree sources (spring water, groundwater, and river water) at different locations. The findings of this studyprovided information regarding the quality status of different water sources and their suitability for humanconsumption in the selected region. According to the WQI analysis, it was observed that the water qualityof spring and groundwater was good which can be utilized for drinking purposes. Only a bit of fluctuationwas observed that can be managed by prior treatment and using disinfectants. However, the water qualityof the aqueduct of the Ganga canal was poor as it is lying under the poor-quality range of the WQI score.According to the outcomes of the findings, we concluded that regular and proper management of waterquality at these sites should be done and anthropogenic activities should be limited to avail the water in agood state.

“…Solid waste with water contact forms leachate that contaminates soil as well as groundwater (Kamboj and Choudhary 2013). The disposal site must be located far away from the water sources like rivers and lakes, residing areas, areas in and around the forest, and agricultural land (Kamboj and Pandey 2017). This review article emphasizes is on the effects of soil physicochemical and nutrient quality on the growth and production of crops.…”

Consequences of Soil Quality on Crop Yield: An Update

The soil is the medium that can fulfill the basic requirement of food, shelter, and clothes for human beings. It is an essential part of our agriculture system. Therefore the crop yield depends on the nutrients intake of soil via plants in the form of cation or anion. It is the mixture of macro (needed in large amounts) and micro (required in significantly less quantity) nutrients essential for a better crop yield. A proper understanding of the physicochemical and nutrient dynamics of any soil is the key to knowing the productivity of crops. Various parameters such as soil temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, moisture content, bulk density, texture, soil organic matter, organic carbon, and sodium adsorption ratio, are essential sources to understand the properties of soil. This information will helpful to the farmers for producing better quality crops. In today's scenario, due to the shortage of water, people are using anthropogenic water as a source of irrigation. The irrigation by sewage water may change the chemical properties of the soil, affecting the equilibrium between acidity and alkalinity. Likewise, it may affect agricultural growth and farming quality. Besides this, excessive use of chemical fertilizers adversely alters the quality of the agriculture field. In this review, we have focused on various soil parameters that may affect the growth and nutrient quality of yield. This information will also develop the awareness among farmers for economic productivity.
