“…The latest technologies applied include 3D surface model analysis and visualization of glaciers, unmanned aerial vehicle video image classification for turfgrass mapping and irrigation planning, ground penetration radar for soil moisture estimation, the tropical rainfall measuring mission and the global precipitation measurement satellite rainfall measurements, storm hyetography analysis, rainfall-runoff and urban flooding simulation, and satellite radar and optical image classification for urban water bodies and flooding inundation. The application of those technologies is expected to greatly relieve the pressures on water resources and allow better mitigation of and adaptation to the disastrous impact of droughts and flooding [93,94].…”

In this review, the function of water and the increasing role of water as a green solvent and co-extractant based on its application in ancient times and the need of environmental thinking have been discussed. A brief summary of various extraction methods for natural products, the application of conventional and innovative processes, based on water and future insights and perspectives considering water as an eco-friendly crossroad in green extraction have been reported. Taking into account also the issue of wastewater, this paper calls for-more effective use of water as a finite resource.

“…Sustainable stormwater management is mainly connected with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) [54]. In urban areas, tools based on GIS and remote sensing data [22,27] are being developed to support stormwater management. For Rural Sustainable Drainage Systems (RSuDS) such solutions are missing.…”

“…GIS-based solutions and remote sensing are now providing more and more support in water and soil resources management as well as in the monitoring of vegetation [22][23][24][25][26][27]. Remote sensing makes it easy to obtain data (from spaceborne, airborne and terrestrial sensors) for monitoring of natural resources, environmental processes and human activities i.e., surface water quality and quantity, soil moisture, snow cover, glaciers, crops and natural vegetation, land cover, drought and flooding, erosion, ecological footprints of cities [22,23,26,28]. GIS tools enable fast data processing, spatial analysis, modelling and visualisation; therefore, they are commonly used in decision support systems for environmental management [26,27].…”

“…GIS tools enable fast data processing, spatial analysis, modelling and visualisation; therefore, they are commonly used in decision support systems for environmental management [26,27]. The global challenge, in which remote sensing data and GIS software are widely used, is the adaptation to climate change (drought and flood risk mapping, sustainable urban water management and water-sensitive urban design, and land use management) [22,27]. Vegetation monitoring is mainly used in agriculture, forestry and water management.…”

“…Over the last decade, remote sensing and GIS tools have become increasingly integrated. Remotely sensed data can be processed and analysed fast using GIS software [10,17,22]. Wider and faster access to geospatial data enables a dynamic growth of research related to the risk of surface runoff generation [28].…”

Surface runoff (overland flow) is the main element of the water cycle and is also crucial in the delivery of phosphorus and nitrogen from catchments to water bodies. Watercourses and reservoirs in agricultural catchments are particularly vulnerable to the delivery of biogenic compounds via surface runoff. Forested riparian buffers are considered effective in reducing nutrients and sediment loads in runoff from agricultural areas. Regrettably, the concentration of surface runoff may significantly limit the buffering capacity of vegetation strips, as channelised overland flow tends to avoid buffers without making optimal use of their ability to retain nutrients and sediment. The aim of the undertaken research was to delineate surface runoff pathways from surrounding areas to a drinking water reservoir as well as to identify potential concentration spots of overland flow. The research was conducted for the Dobromierz drinking water reservoir (GPS N: 50 • 54 27", E: 16 • 14 37"). The reservoir is situated in a submountain catchment, where rainfall is an important factor taking part in driving diffuse P and N loads from land to water. Presented GIS-based method using high resolution Digital Terrain Model obtained from Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) allowed to determine areas with a tendency for high accumulation (concentration) of overland flow in the direct catchment of the reservoir. As main surface runoff areas, three sites each exceeding 100 ha were designated. The analysis of spatial data also allowed to establish the risk of agricultural diffuse pollution transfer via channelised overland flow to the reservoir from individual accumulation areas. It was found that in the forested part of the catchment (serving as a riparian buffer) there is no visible tendency for concentration of surface runoff, but simultaneously the vegetation strip does not prevent the transfer of runoff waters from agricultural areas through the privileged pathways of concentrated flow.
