“…To investigate the impact of land use and land cover changes on the hydrology of watershed, spatially dispersed hydrological models are employed including HEC-HMS (Younis and Ammar 2017; Koneti et al 2018), InVEST (Geng et al 2014;Li et al 2018), VIC (Garg et al 2017) and SWAT (Kumar et al 2018;Li et al 2019;Munoth and Goyal 2020). The SWAT has proven its suitability under conditions of limited data availability in hydrological studies (Stehr et al 2008;Gassman et al 2007).…”

Land use and land cover (LULC) change is one of the key driving elements responsible for altering the hydrology of a watershed. In this study, we investigated the spatio-temporal LULC changes between 2001 and 2018 and their impacts on the water balance of the Jhelum River Basin. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to analyze the impacts on water yield (WY) and evapotranspiration (ET). The model was calibrated and validated with discharge data between 1995 and 2005 and then simulated with different land use. The increase was observed in forest, settlement and water areas during the study period. At the catchment scale, we found that afforestation has reduced the WY and surface runoff, while enhanced the ET. Moreover, this change was more pronounced at the sub-basin scale. Some sub-basins, especially in the northern part of the study area, exhibited an increase in WY due to an increase in the snow cover area. Similarly, extremes land use scenarios also showed significant impact on water balance components. The basin WY has decreased by 38 mm/year and ET has increased about 36 mm/year. The findings of this study could guide the watershed manager in the development of sustainable LULC planning and water resources management.

Generally, runoff records are the most important input data in water resource management; however, their availability is very limited especially in developing country as compared to rainfall records, especially under medium and small-scale catchments. In our study, we estimated runoff from ungauged agricultural watershed with the curve number method and empirical mathematical models were compared with SCS-CN. Empirical mathematical models (Inglis and De Souza Formula (IDS), Turc relationship (TR), Indian Irrigation Department (DII) model, Coutagine relationship (CR), Khosla method (KH), Justin Equation (JE), Lacey relationship (LR), and Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR)) model were used to estimate annual runoff (in cm). It was found that IDS model has capability to simulate annual runoff as very close to Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) model and has lowest Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) value as 7.75, and ranking of this model (based on K factor (value of 0.001) analysis) was topmost (or 1 st) in comparison to other eight models. This study suggests that empirical mathematical model has potential for annual runoff estimation from ungauged watershed.

“…Extraction of minerals leads to strong hydrobiogeochemical changes in the ecosystem [2] and is considered one of the most destructive types of economic activities for its contribution to the deterioration of the function of ecosystems and, an increase in surface which contributes to: the emergence of flooding zones [3][4][5][6][7][8], climate change, loss of habitat [9] and changing landscape demographics [10][11][12]. So in the process of developing coal deposits by the open method, the transfer of dust flows affects the state of soils and vegetation in the affected area.…”

The article presents the results of work aimed at solving the problem of mining waste generation by creating a methodology of wastefree technology. According to the authors, the problem of solid mining waste can be solved by building a technology with a completely closed cycle of circulation of matter. An integral non-waste coefficient for the field development technology has been proposed, which is defined as the sum of local coefficients obtained for each technological level. By the value of the general coefficient, it is possible to estimate the relative amount of solid waste for an operating mining and processing enterprise, as well as to carry out a comparative analysis of the options considered at the design stage.
