In this groundbreaking study, we introduce a novel approach to forecasting Land Surface Temperature (LST) in the Kumaun Himalayas, an area critical for understanding regional impacts of global warming. The novelty of our research lies in the utilization of spatial time series analysis, a method not previously applied for future LST prediction. Combined adoption of remote sensing and advanced statistical techniques such as the Simple Moving Average (SMA), Sen’s Slope, and z-statistics with excellent statistical power, our study analyses LST trends from 1990 to 2030 using comprehensive Landsat data. Notably, the application of z-statistics provides a robust framework for assessing temperature changes, with significant findings such as a z-statistics value of -15.04 for spring, indicating a marked shift in temperature patterns. Similarly, for autumn, the z-statistics value of -21.41 underscores a drastic deviation from historical norms i.e., from 1990 to 2020. These values highlight a future that is significantly warmer than the present, bringing into sharp focus the urgency of climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in this ecologically sensitive region. The study also suggests differential rate of seasonal warming. The study is not only pivotal for local climate policy but also contribute significantly to the broader understanding of climate dynamics in mountainous terrains is seasonal variation in warming rates. Despite challenges like rugged terrain and variable cloud cover affecting data accuracy, our approach offers a scalable model for similar climatic studies in other regions, marking a significant advancement in the field of climate change.

“…About 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water, yet only 2.5% of this is freshwater is drinking water (The Economist Intelligence Unit Limited, 2019). This small proportion of freshwater is the driver of human health, the global economy, and the well-being of societies in the broadest sense (Rani et al, 2021). Unfortunately, despite the importance of water to humans, the world has failed to sustainably manage its water resources (Ribeiro et al, 2021).…”

The current global freshwater crisis threatens the present and future supply of water as a resource for humans. The scarcity of drinking water and the dependence of the food industry on water-intensive supply chains require the urgent development of strategies to analyze and guarantee the water sustainability of countries. This study proposes a fuzzy-data envelopment analysis composite index that measures, from a benchmarking approach, water sustainability by simultaneously considering capacity and resilience, and captures the uncertainty associated with time series variations in three scenarios: pessimistic, indifferent and optimistic. We present and apply an index based on five indicators of capacity and five indicators of resilience in ten European Union countries water risk hotspots. The results in terms of capacity presented a higher variability due to the strong growth in the exploitation of water resources in Greece, Spain, France, Italy and Portugal. The most sustainable countries in terms of capacity were Bulgaria and Estonia in a pessimistic and an indifferent scenario and France and Bulgaria in an optimistic scenario. In terms of resilience, Belgium and Portugal were the most sustainable countries. When considering capacity and resilience together, some countries such as Bulgaria and Estonia lost positions in the ranking, with Belgium occupying the first position. Some countries, such as Bulgaria, could see the sustainability of their water resources compromised in a scenario of economic development if they do not improve their governance and water productivity constraints.

“…Agricultural intensification has detrimental effects on components of nature such as air, water, soil, and the population of microbes (Montgomery, 2007;Kassam et al, 2013;Dumansky et al, 2014). Traditional agricultural practices based on deep ploughing reduce soil organic matter content, and accelerate the processes of soil erosion, salinity intrusion, and leaching of soil nutrients (Mandal et al, 2020;Rani et al, 2021;Yadav et al, 2014;Pandey et al, 2015;Tomar et al, 2014;Bisht et al, 2014;. On the other hand, the world's climate is changing rapidly due to anthropogenic activities.…”

Agricultural farming is a complicated system that involves continuous interactions among its multiple components over a period of time. The series of activities involved in farming practices have enormous contributions to ensure food security for the humanity. With the passage of time, agriculture sector faces diversified challenges like high food demand of rapidly growing population, scarcity of available resources and adverse effect of climate change. In developing countries like Bangladesh, food sufficiency is mostly achieved through intensive farming which has detrimental effects on natural resources, surrounding environment, and the whole ecosystem. The review attempts to discover the potentials of conservation agriculture practices for sustainable crop productivity and economic profitability of smallholder farmers in Bangladesh. This study revealed that conservation farm management practice is a cost-effective modernized technique that has the ability to accelerate crop productivity and farmers income through minimum utilization of agricultural inputs. Although the concept of conservation agriculture is widely practiced in other parts of the world, Bangladesh is experiencing a slow rate of adoption during the last few years. The policy implication of the study suggests that the government should take coordinated and combined initiatives involving both public and private sector organizations to incorporate this concept into the mainstream agricultural system of Bangladesh.
