“…Assessment of cropping intensity helps to managers and experts for an accurate scheduling to dedicate water resources and designing a suitable cropping pattern for farmers. That study aims to investigate the variations of cropping intensity in Asia-Oceania, Europe, and Americas from 1962 to 2011 by using information of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) [14][15][16][17][18]. Finally, the results indicate that attention to only commercial goals should be reduced, trial and error policies should be avoided and expert comments be applied to the irrigation systems for any crop to achieve sustainable agriculture in future [14].…”

“…In addition to identifying potential gaps, results provide insight into the probable long-and short-term ecosystem response to changes in climate, weather, and cropping. In addition, cropping intensity has a highlighted role in agricultural water management during past years and future [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…An increase in Europe's innovative potential and competitiveness (Thomé et al 2016) was a central objective of the European Union (EU) Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) and Sustainable Industrial Policy (SIP) Action Plan (EC2008) for Europe (Buttol et al 2012). The enterprises systematically started to apply improvement tools aimed at: production processes, management practices (Valipour et al 2015), products and communication with internal and external stakeholders (Staniškis et al 2012). This has led to the common introduction of innovation in business operations (Bossink 2015).…”

The concept of a circular economy (CE) has become popular and important issue in environmental management in recent years; however, there are not particular indicators dedicated to it in regional policy. CE approach is an industrial system that is restorative by design, and it emphasises that it is important that, rather than extracting natural resources, the materials that have already been taken can and should be recovered and reused in different ways, thereby securing natural resources from over-exploitation. In order to meet CE assumptions, modern and innovative technologies that allow for the recovery of valuable materials should be developed. This also applies to eco-innovation that connects technology development with environmental aspects. It is therefore obvious that issues of CE and eco-innovation are linked, and a uniform methodology aimed at compare the levels of moving to CE including eco-innovation solutions should be established. Because the focus in European Union (EU) has been paid on regions, measuring of CE-eco-innovations levels is especially important at the regional level. In this paper, the proposals of CE indicators, based on eco-innovation factors, which can be possible to create based on existing data set (Eurostat, Cohesion policy) are presented. It is recommend to use of five group indicators for measuring regional CE-eco-innovation. Based on EcoInnovation Scoreboard which describes innovation measurement, three of proposed indicator groups are associated directly with innovations, taking into account the principles of CE: CE-eco-innovation inputs, CE-eco-innovation activities and CE-eco-innovation outputs, and other two groups of indicators are effects of the CE-eco-innovation introduction: resource efficiency outcomes and socio-economic outcomes. This way of measuring CE-eco-innovation allows for create holistic, systematic and integrated approach for the CE concept at the regional level. Proposed indicators can be used in current transition stage for assessment of implementation regional policy and as a base for creation final CE indicators.

“…The increase of CO 2 is mainly attributed from burning coal, oil and natural gas for electrical generation, transportation, industrial and domestic needs [8]. Even, in modern agriculture and irrigation system, the use of fossil fuel for ground water pumping of irrigation has been practiced in many countries, releasing a huge amount of CO 2 emission [9,[19][20][21][22][23]26]. The growing of CO 2 concentration in atmosphere will disrupt global climate, which in turn raising the sea level, causing floods in lowered level areas and damaging the ecosystem.…”

Advanced laboratory system of rock permeability test associated with constant flow pump, and constant head permeability techniques were developed to measure permeability and specific storage of rock for supercritical CO 2 . The laboratory system was designed to be capable in reproducing similar physical condition of deep aquifer within high pressure and high temperature where CO 2 tends to be in supercritical state. To analyze the result of permeability tests, mathematical models of constant flow pump and constant head permeability techniques were modified to deal with two-phase flow drainage displacement of CO 2 -water in rock. For the examination of its applicability, experimental tests and numerical analysis were undertaken. The accuracy of the obtained specific storage was validated by employing a ratio of the specific storage of the rock specimen to the storage capacity of the pump used in the permeability test. It was found that the specific storage of low permeability sandstone for storing supercritical CO 2 is 1.63 9 10 -4 1/Pa, while large permeability sandstone has the specific storage for supercritical CO 2 at 1.12 9 10 -7 1/Pa. This finding suggested that advanced experimental system of constant flow pump and constant head permeability technique can be used as repeatable, accurate and standardized laboratory test in measuring specific storage of sedimentary rock for CO 2 in supercritical state.
