A handful of literature also mentions the effect of the population such as (de Castro-Pardo et al , 2022; Niza-Ribeiro, 2022; Kinouchi et al , 2019) and rapid urbanization (Wang et al , 2022; Shao et al , 2020; Kookana et al , 2020).…”

PurposeThis study aims to develop a cause-effect relationship between criteria that contribute to water security using the Intuitionistic Fuzzy-Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (IF-DEMATEL) method. Differently from the typical DEMATEL which utilizes crisp numbers, this modification introduces intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs) to enhance judgments in a group decision-making environment. In particular, the linguistic variables used in IF-DEMATEL are defined using the concept of three-tuple of IFNs.Design/methodology/approachData with the linguistic variable “influence” were collected from a group of experts in water security via personal unstructured interviews. Seven water security criteria are considered in this study. Computational software was employed to execute the computational procedures of the IF-DEMATEL method. It is anticipated that by taking into account the hesitation degree of IFNs will reflect the scenario in real life, which could lead to precise decision-making.FindingsThe results show that “Over-Abstraction”, “Saltwater Intrusion” and “Limited Infrastructures” are the cause criteria that contribute to water security. In addition, the relationship map of influence shows that “Water Pollution” and “Rapid Urbanization” are the most vulnerable criteria as these two criteria are most easily affected by other criteria in a unidirectional relation.Practical implicationsIt is anticipated that these findings will serve as useful references for water security management and policymakers.Originality/valueThe present study makes a noteworthy contribution to the modification of DEMATEL where three-tuple of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are considered in the computations. The present study also provides additional evidence with respect to factors that contribute to water security.

“…Even though Indonesia is one of the largest rice producing countries globally, the risk of a food crisis still overshadows Indonesia's population of 270 million (Statistic Indonesia, 2020). Several studies have investigated the relationship between populations and food insecurity (He et al, 2022;Niza-Ribeiro, 2022). The threat of a crisis that has the potential to occur in 2023 is considered to be far more risky in terms of food (Mohidem et al, 2022;Nodin et al, 2022;VASA et al, 2020).…”

Multiple disruptions in health sectors and geopolitics has been alarming food security worldwide. This study provides insights by assessing the determinants of food security in Indonesia and creating a map of the country's most food insecure areas as a basis of developing anticipating strategies. This study is quantitative in nature using secondary data from the Statistics Indonesia. To estimate the model, we used Non-Parametric Splines Regression and Clustering Analysis. The results show that food security in Indonesia is greatly impacted by rice production, population density, purchasing power index, food expenditures, and harvested area. Additionally, most of the provinces in Indonesia has a medium to high food security level. The results showed the need for integrating Indonesian food chain policies such as land, water, and fertilizer availability. In addition, the Indonesian Bureau of Logistics must take measures to preserve the availability and distribution of staple foods.

“…Across North Africa excluding Sudan and the Middle East groundwater constitutes the predominant water source in a majority of countries [5]. The Middle East already beset by acute shortfalls in water resources contains at least twelve countries afflicted by severe water scarcity [6,7]. Providing a reliable supply of treated freshwater is imperative for socioeconomic progress, political stability, and daily living [8,9].…”

In this research, the quality of groundwater was studied for fifty wells distributed in areas near the Bahr al-Najaf depression. Where a large discrepancy was observed in the readings and concentrations of the thirteen variables that were identified, they included both the acid function pH and their ranged between (7.11 - 7.29) and the electrical conductivity EC whose values in the number of wells measured were between (2351 - 8901 μS/cm) and the total dissolved salts TDS were between (1520 to 5773 mg/L). In this study, the concentrations of positive ions were also measured, including calcium, and their values ranged between (155 to 594 mg/L), sodium (235 to 895 mg/L), potassium (2 - 101 mg/L), and magnesium (60 to 337 mg/L). Negative ions represented by sulfates SO4 2- were also studied, and their concentrations ranged between (517 to 1919 mg/L), chlorides Cl− (293 to 1243 mg/L), and nitrates NO3 − (0.3 - 1.8 mg/L). The concentrations of heavy metals in the water of these wells were also studied, and their values included lead ions (0.00 - 0.0183 mg/L), cadmium (0.00 - 0.0038 mg/L), and manganese (0.2464 - 1.1628 mg/L). Then the water quality index WQI for these wells was determined, and a large discrepancy in the results was also noted after using the geographic information system GIS when drawing maps and distributing the results on them.
