“…Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides a quantitative multicriteria approach to evaluate the environmental performance of products or activities. Numerous LCA studies have been conducted to evaluate the environmental impacts caused by water supply systems [49,50], by crop irrigation systems [51], or by supply-irrigation systems [36,52]. Accordingly, the environmental impact produced by the selected crops under the considered water supply scenarios was quantified by the LCA methodology [36], following the protocols standardised by the ISO 14040/14044 [53,54].…”

“…The proposed decision support system (DSS) contains monitoring, prediction, and control sections and in the present research, all of them are satisfied by experimental efforts, machine learning computations, and sensitivity analysis, respectively (Figure 3). It goes without saying that there are different methods due to monitoring cyanide ions in water samples, such as spectroscopy, colorimetry, fluorometry, and chromatography [40]. As such, in the present research, spectroscopy is utilized because of the available equipment and validity of the method.…”

Maintaining drinking water quality is considered important in building sustainable cities and societies. On the other hand, water insecurity is an obstacle to achieving sustainable development goals based on the issues of threatening human health and well-being and global peace. One of the dangers threatening water sources is cyanide contamination due to industrial wastewater leakage or sabotage. The present study investigates and provides potential strategies to remove cyanide contamination by chlorination. In this regard, the main novelty is to propose a sustainable decision support system for the dirking water system in a case study in Iran. First, three scenarios have been defined with low ([CN−] = 2.5 mg L−1), medium ([CN−] = 5 mg L−1), and high ([CN−] = 7.5 mg L−1) levels of contamination. Then, the optimal chlorine dosage has been suggested as 2.9 mg L−1, 4.7 mg L−1, and 6.1 mg L−1, respectively, for these three scenarios. In the next step, the residual cyanide was modelled with mathematical approaches, which revealed that the Gaussian distribution has the best performance accordingly. The main methodology was developing a hybrid approach based on the Gaussian model and the genetic algorithm. The outcomes of statistical evaluations illustrated that both injected chlorine and initial cyanide load have the greatest effects on residual cyanide ions. Finally, the proposed hybrid algorithm is characterized by the multilayer perceptron algorithm, which can forecast residual cyanide anion with a regression coefficient greater than 0.99 as a soft sensor. The output can demonstrate a strong positive relationship between residual cyanide- (RCN−) and injected chlorine. The main finding is that the proposed sustainable decision support system with our hybrid algorithm improves the resiliency levels of the considered drinking water system against cyanide treatments.

The Balangan irrigation area has grappled with a 20-year water shortage due to disorganized canal systems, causing water scarcity in droughts and floods during the rainy season. Conflicts between upstream and downstream users compound these challenges. This study analyzes water conflicts, their causes, impacts, and resolution strategies. Employing descriptive approaches, it identifies factors triggering conflicts, their societal and agricultural effects, and sustainable solutions. Findings reveal that the narrowing of water channels, exacerbated by concrete structures, has caused an imbalance in water distribution between Subak Balangan and Subak Palean. Sedimentation and irregular channel regulation exacerbate water loss and prolonged scarcity. The study underscores the necessity of comprehensive management strategies, prioritizing Water Rights and Allocation Policies, Community Participation, and Rainwater Harvesting and Conservation. These strategies promise practical, feasible, sustainable, and impactful solutions. Regulating water rights and allocations provides a framework, and community engagement ensures local perspectives are considered, while rainwater harvesting and conservation techniques reduce water stress and foster agricultural resilience. Integrating these strategies can achieve a comprehensive approach to sustainable water management in the Balangan Irrigation area.
