“…The estimated GWR approach at the spatial status level provides an alternative interpretation of local regression through model selection and optimization of local bandwidth. The reliability of the spatial construct model builds on the previous GWR study by [41], in which the analytic advantage is examined when the identification of regression coefficients, non-constant bandwidth, and selection of covariates are determined locally. This model combines the characteristics of the spatial regression test, but its main purpose has different explanations from the study of [42].…”

This research addresses three main review points related to the harmful practices of artisanal and small-scale gold mining and the appropriateness of prevention approaches to resilience for local residents’ environments. First, the focus is on cases of illegal mining exploitation in North Rarowatu and Lantari Jaya, with emphasis on the aspects of disaster risk management and prevention approaches in construction areas. Second, focus is given to the abundance of gold grains in the mining area, which attracts the author to utilize a dynamic system approach to explore whether a progressive restructuring exists for avoiding casualties in the mining area. Third, the precautionary accuracy of the security forces and the government are given focus to emphasize the prohibition of mercury absorption as a mining method. This research utilizes a system dynamics methodology to investigate the review of preventive approaches for maintaining the resilience of local communities and the determinants of small-scale gold mining activities by considering other empirical testing models. This study finds that a 30–50% increase in gold production significantly results in hydrological pollution due to mercury content, increased worker deaths, and unending damage to resident ecosystems, with minimal preventive capabilities in the pre-illegal artisanal and small-scale gold mining period. Moreover, this study offers an input and output prevention approach to controlling the number of illegal gold miners while protecting the environmental resilience of local residents.

“…Robustness has been assessed regarding the calibration configuration (Boudhraâ et al, 2018;de Lavenne et al, 2016) and the resolution of the digital elevation model used as a geomorphometric reference (Ecrepont and Cudennec, 2020). Based on these grounds, simulations in truly ungauged catchments have been performed, in particular towards coastal bays (de Lavenne and Cudennec, 2019), which are water quality-related hotspots (Heal et al, 2021;Neville et al, 2022), being fragile fresh/marine water ecosystems where water-conveyed nutrient over-loads can induce eutrophication and green tides. This consolidated geomorphology-based approach for discharge Prediction in Ungauged Basins (PUB) through deconvolution of discharge signals from gauged donor catchments, their transposition and their convolution towards target outlets, has been made available online to end-users through a Web Processing Service Application Programming Interface (WPS API) for the synoptic peninsular region of Brittany, France.…”

Abstract. A consolidated geomorphology-based approach for discharge hydrograph Prediction in Ungauged Basins (PUB) through deconvolution of discharge signals from gauged donor catchments, their transposition and their convolution towards target outlets, has been made available online to end-users through a Web Service (Web Processing Service Application Programming Interface – WPS API) for the synoptic peninsular region of Brittany, France. In the spirit of hydrological services, the SIMFEN Web Service allows anyone to execute the hydrological modelling online through OGC® interoperability standards; collection of public hydrometric data; connection to a pre-existing Web Service for geomorphometric analysis; and online visualization. Thanks to tangible indicators, we here show how the users' community is actually active in using the Web Service, i.e. in uptaking the recent science-operational translation of a scientific development into a Service.

“…The findings particularly highlight the fact that there is a strong prediction that there will be SDWA violations for Black and Hispanic populations. Research across the Southeastern region in the United States maintain that minority and lowincome communities have poor ambient water quality [64]. Bae and Lynch's analyses of safe drinking water violations from 2016-2018 conclude that socio-economic factors impact the distribution of SDWA Violations in the US [59].…”

<p>Although water is considered as essential to life and as an important natural resource, disadvantaged communities such as low-income and minority communities are disproportionately burdened by lead exposure in drinking water. In this paper, we highlight case studies that have received national press coverage as well as recent examples of community lead poisoning hazards that are still ongoing across various regions of the US. We show through these three case studies of Flint, Michigan, Washington D.C., and Birmingham, Alabama that the severity and frequency of this pervasive public health problem is highly concentrated in minority and low-income populations, and thus they bear the brunt of the socio-economic impacts. We identify the use of sensors to improve detection of hazardous materials and decrease inequities in drinking water contamination. To address water-related equity issues, we call for a sustainable community capacity approach that consists of shared governance between those who live in a community and stakeholders, such as businesses and health services, who have vested interests in it. We conclude by highlighting ways that a community could build collective social capital, safeguarding its environment from lead poisoning through health literacy education. Promoting water literacy is highly significant since water knowledge is crucial towards achieving water sustainability and equity.<strong></strong></p>
