“…Kayembe et al (2018) and Khan et al (2020) corroborate that the correlation between the variables indicates that they probably come from a common source and are controlled by the same factors. In this respect, suspended particles are extremely important for the mobility of heavy metals and nutrients in rainwater, as observed in other studies (Liu et al 2019;Yazdi et al 2021). Based on the mobility of metals, Cr concentrations were low in water and high in sediments.…”

“…They accumulate in water channels and lakes, reduce the water storage capacity contributing to flooding (Morales-Marín et al 2017), and adsorb various pollutants (Ho & Burgess 2013;Yi et al 2015). The land use (commercial, residential or industrial) and the proximity of those sources to rivers interfere with the nature and concentration of the pollutants (Aryal et al 2010;Pulley et al 2016;Yazdi et al 2021). HMs like Co, Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni, and Zn are the elements most documented in the urban environment (Nawrot et al 2020).…”

Temporal variation and risk assessment of heavy metals and nutrients from water and sediment in a stormwater pond, Brazil

Urban watercourses are under pressure owing to the inflow of environmental pollutants from stormwater and effluent. The concentrations of heavy metals, ammoniacal nitrogen, total phosphorus (TP), and physicochemical parameters were monitored in a sediment pond in the Brazilian Midwest. The correlation between the variables and the degree of sediment contamination was verified using the Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo), Contamination Factor (CF), and Pollutant Load Index (PLI). The general concentrations of the metals were in the order Mn > B > Ba > Zn > Cu > Cr > Pb > Ni in the water and Mn > Cr > Ba ≥ B > Zn > Cu > Ni > Pb in the sediment. The concentrations of Ba, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, and TP in the water exceeded the regulatory limits at least one. The mean concentrations of Cr, Cu, and Ni in the sediment samples were 6.32, 1.63, and 2.61 uppers than the background values. The applied geochemical indices indicated a moderate to a very high degree of sediment contamination, suggesting the anthropogenic origin of Cr, Cu, and Ni. Significant Pearson correlations were observed between turbidity and total suspended solids (TSS), Ba, Cr, Mn, Zn, and TP. Ponds and urban lakes require maintenance or may become a source of environmental pollutants.

The human coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 is now a global pandemic. Personal hygiene such as hand-washing, the use of personal protective equipment, and social distancing via local and national lockdowns are used to reduce the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 and the associated lockdowns may have significant impacts on environmental quality and ergonomics. However, limited studies exists on the impacts of COVID-19 and the associated lockdowns on environmental quality and ergonomics in low-income settings. Therefore, the present study investigated the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on socioeconomics, ergonomics and environment (water quality, air quality and noise) in Uttrakhand, India. Approximately 55% of respondents experienced headaches, and the other common health-related issue was back pain, with 45% of respondents having problems with their backs. Water and air quality significantly improved during the lockdown relative to the pre-lockdown period, but was observed to return to their previous characteristics afterwards. Lockdowns significant increased the concentration of indoor air pollutants while noise pollution levels significantly declined. In summary, lockdowns have adverse impacts on ergonomics, resulting in work-related human health risks. The impacts of lockdowns on environmental quality are mixed: temporary improvements on water and air quality, and noise reduction were observed, but indoor air quality deteriorated. Therefore, during lockdowns there is a need to minimize the adverse environmental and ergonomic impacts of lockdowns while simultaneously enhancing the beneficial impacts.

“…Therefore, as a consequence of the average curve number surged in the Guadalest watershed, less infiltration rates (recharge of aquifers) and several enlargements in the waterproofing factors are expected to occur, increasing the vulnerability of the terrain (Al Kuisi and El-Naqa, 2013;Andrade and Szlafsztein, 2018;Allam et al, 2020;Nayeb-Yazdi et al, 2021). Thus, it is important to remark the necessity to develop naturebased solutions based on vegetation restoration plans (Kalantari et al, 2018;Keesstra et al, 2018) or to apply sustainable soil management systems for the cultivated areas, for example, reducing the tillage, the use of chemicals and including vegetation cover along with the inter-row areas (Cohen-Shacham et al, 2016;Oral et al, 2020).…”

“…Particularly, land-use changes are producing variations in the hydrological response with irreparable modification of the water cycle and increases in the maximum flow peaks during runoff events (Camarasa-Belmonte, 2016;Alonso-Sarría et al, 2016;Csáki et al, 2020;Sánchez-Galiano et al, 2017;Pardo et al, 2020). Nowadays, the application of remote sensing techniques (RS) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) has propelled Earth observations, improving the identification and mapping of land use and respective changes (Petchprayoon et al, 2010;Nayeb-Yazdi et al, 2021;Đukic and Erić, 2021). Among those hydrological components involved after drastic land-use changes, the most relevant ones to achieve sustainable water management are related to the assessment of floods and water availability, since the variation of both factors could lead to significant modifications on the ecosystem services and human security (Jodar-Abellan et al, 2019;Lasanta et al, 2021).…”

Land-use changes in Mediterranean arid karstic areas were assessed.• Hydrological responses to changes in rainfall patterns were assessed using wavelet analysis. • Surface available water would decrease during higher occurrences of peak flow events. • It was shown that the new ANSE index improved the goodness-of-fit measurement for these areas. • Also, we demonstrated that the HEC-HMS model is suitable to assess water issues of karstic areas.
