“…Therefore, the assessment of the impact of climate in the ecosystems of this region is highly relevant (IPCC, 2014). These impacts can affect water availability (Bano and Arshad, 2018), agriculture (Mínguez et al ., 2007), air quality (Borge et al ., 2016), bird phenology (Gordo and Sanz, 2006; Tomotani et al ., 2016), and wine production (Fraga et al ., 2017; Ollat et al ., 2017). They can also increase forest fire risk (Pausas, 2004; Moriondo et al ., 2006), the number and intensity of heatwaves (Luber and McGeehin, 2008), tree mortality due to an increase in droughts severity (Carnicer et al ., 2011), and promote more frequent and severe extreme events (Sánchez et al ., 2004).…”

Climate change projections for the four major divisions of the Worldwide Bioclimatic Classification System in the Iberian Peninsula (IP) are analysed using a six‐member ensemble (EURO‐CORDEX) for 1961–1990, 1981–2010, 2011–2040, and 2041–2070 periods for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. The direct forcing method was used to correct the bias of the simulated data using an observational gridded dataset (E‐OBS). Results show a decrease of the temperate areas in the north‐western region of the IP, with higher expression in RCP8.5 for 2041–2070. Major changes in bioclimates, ombrotypes, and thermotypes are projected to occur in northernmost regions, as well as, central and south‐eastern areas of Iberia. The projected decrease of Mediterranean pluviseasonal areas hint at a decrease of several evergreen or deciduous forest types. Conversely, due to the projected increase of Mediterranean xeric and desertic areas, it can be expected an increase of microforests or dense shrubby lands, as well as the appearance of half deserts or low‐density scrublands. Finally, the continentality index patterns revealed a strengthening of the coastal‐inner climate contrasts in the future, mainly for RCP8.5.

“…Water quality monitoring is a crucial tool for achieving long-term development and provides vital information for water management. In many countries with arid or sub-arid climates that are vulnerable to climatic change, surface water quality is a delicate and essential problem [2]. Surface water quality in a region is mostly determined by the quality and extent of industrial, agricultural, and other anthropogenic activities in the basins of the specific area [3].…”

The El-Salam canal in Egypt is considered an important stream of fresh water for the agricultural sector that extends from the Nile River to Sinai, while it is subjected to several anthropogenic stresses. In this study, five-georeferenced stations (named from S1 to S5) were monitored along the El-Salam Canal before El-Sahara of the Suez Canal, via the estimation of the WQ index based on major cations and anions analysis including salinity hazard, permeability index, residual sodium carbonate, magnesium hazard, sodium percentage, sodium adsorption ratio, Kelley index, potential salinity, total hardness, and irrigation water quality index (IWQI). The sequence of average concentration of cations in water were Na+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+. The major cations constitute around 60% of the total dissolved salts. While the sequence of major anions in water were SO42− > HCO3− > Cl− > CO32−. These cations and anions showed an increasing trend from S1 (intake of the canal) to S5 (before El-Sahara) of the El-Salam Canal. Moreover, the order of heavy metals was Zn < Cd < Cr < Ni < Fe < Mn < Co < Cu < Pb. According to the US EPA (1999) guidelines, the levels of Fe and Zn in the El-Salam Canal are within the permissible limits for drinking and irrigation purposes, while Mn, Pb, Cu, Co, Ni, Cr, and Cd were detected at higher concentrations than those recommended. The value of IWQI in water samples varied from 40.26 to 114.82. The samples of S1 showed good water, the samples of region S2 (after mixing with Faraskour drainage) showed poor water quality, samples of regions S3 (after mixing with the El-Serw drain waters) and S5 (before El-Sahara) fell under the very poor water category and samples of region S4 (after mixing with the Hadous drainage) showed unsuitable water. Croplands irrigated with such water will not be exposed to any alkaline risks but will be exposed to the risk of salinity, which is more severe after mixing at the S3 and S4 sites. It is recommended to treat the drainage water before mixing with the irrigation water of El-Salam Canal to raise the suitability of irrigation water for crops, particularly for the Hadous drain.

“…Some of these molecules have genotoxic or hormono-mimetic properties and can potentially have an environmental impact on aquatic ecosystem (Benchouala, 2016;Emmanuel et al, 2008;Lavilleet al, 2008). Contaminate water is a vector for many diseases, water being one of the most basic constituents of life, cleanliness of water is essential for the sustainable health of the humans, aquatic and wildlife (Bano et al, 2018;Le Pimpec, 2002;Forbes, 1997).…”

Sawdust, an affordable resource, is being investigated as an adsorbent to eliminate residual contaminants from water. Wood processing residues such as bark and sawdust have been widely studied for some years for their adsorption and removal properties of toxic metals contained in contaminated effluents. The aim of our study is to know the source of chemical contamination of water by using spectrophotometry methods in field ultraviolet, the kinetic study of sodium salicylate adsorption on sawdust was modelized according to two kinetic models (pseudo first and second order), to determine the most optimal pattern to describe this phenomenon, was based in the comparison on the correlation coefficient (R 2 ) between the absorbance and the wavelength for both models and evaluate the optimal time of contact solid/liquid. Present results indicated that the correlation coefficient (R 2 =0.999) for the pseudo-second order, which means that this model is the best for future studies in the kinetics of adsorption of sodium salicylate by sawdust, with a time of contact solid /liquid optimal is 44.5 minutes.
