“…Internal and external transparency is straightforwardly related with the other GAs, as any updates on the corresponding action plans should be communicated to any affected stakeholders (e.g., newly published legal requirements should be communicated to the farmer members of the F.OR, or any proposed mitigation measures for extreme events should be disseminated to regional authorities). Considering that effective dissemination of water management strategies is critical for addressing water scarcity and promoting sustainable agriculture [21], all the three F.ORs took several actions in terms of disseminating and communicating the adopted water management strategy to their members. These actions included, among others, the participation of the F.ORs in local events, the regular distribution of dissemination materials, and several press releases.…”

Effective water governance is the key to achieving water security and sustainable water management. This study promotes water efficiency and supports the shift towards climate-resilient agriculture in Mediterranean countries through the development and implementation of water management adaptation strategies in three Farmers’ Organizations (F.ORs) located in Mediterranean areas. An integrated water governance scheme is presented, which can be applied at the F.OR level for a more effective implementation of the water management adaptation strategy. The proposed water governance scheme has been adopted by three F.ORs (two in Crete, Greece, and one in Basilicata, Italy). The water management system that is developed as a tool for the implementation is presented, and the lessons learnt during the implementation are discussed. Experience from the pilot implementation of the proposed strategy in the three participating F.ORs indicated that systematic monitoring and evaluation of the strategy can increase the implementation efficiency and save resources. Moreover, the significance of internal dissemination and transparency was highlighted. The result of this study is the proposed integrated water governance scheme, which constitutes a valuable tool for F.ORs’ adaptation to climate change in terms of water efficiency.

The Aral Sea started shrinking since the 1960s due to natural factors and human activities; however, the relationship between land cover change and ecosystem services (ES) in the Aral Sea basin has not been fully studied. To analyze and explore the spatiotemporal variation characteristics of ecosystem service values (ESVs) in this region, we used the European Space Agency CCI Global Land Cover product with a spatiotemporal resolution of 300 × 300 m and the annual scale. The land use data of 1993, 1998, 2003, 2008, 2013, and 2018 in the study area were extracted, the study area’s ESV in the corresponding years was calculated, and the temporal and spatial evolution characteristics were analyzed. Additionally, the change rate and sensitivity were analyzed. The results revealed that the area of urban land, bare land, grassland, wetland, and cropland in the Aral Sea basin increased from 1993 to 2018; water body and forestland decreased. The integrated value of water bodies, cropland, and grassland ES accounted for more than 96% of the total ESV; the change rate of land use types differed. Urban land and water changed the fastest; cultivated land, woodland, grassland, and wetland changed the slowest. From 1993 to 2018, the total ESV of the Aral Sea basin decreased from 455.10 to 414.56 billion (Overall decrease = − 8.91%). The ESV study shows that the water area decreased sharply from 1993 to 2018, resulting in a loss of USD 46.84 billion. Biodiversity, food production, and water regulation were the main ES, accounting for 78.5% of the total ESV. The ESV of the Aral Sea basin declined from 1993 to 2018, and significant differences were observed among its regions. Some regions should thus focus on this aspect. A close correlation was observed between the ESV and land use. Hence, effective land use policies can control the expansion of cropland; protect water bodies, ecological environments, grassland, and forestland; and promote a more sustainable ecosystem.

“…Different methods of synthesis of silica nanoparticles and nanocomposites were reviewed by Rahman and Padavettan [58]. Synthesis process focused on the enhancement of adsorption sites and its stability to use as adsorbent materials in engineering applications [22,58,[60][61][62]. Mesoporous silicates based on mobile crystalline material (MCM) were obtained by hydrothermal synthesis and liquid templating mechanism [63][64][65][66][67][68].…”

The research efforts to find an alternative system for the cooling/heating application have been intensified worldwide since the imposition of international restrictions on production and use of refrigerants accountable for ODP and GWP. Nowadays, the demand for the cooling/heating system is increased also due to safeguarding the adverse environmental effect which results in additional consumption of electrical energy and ecological problem. The use of adsorption system is considering as a promising alternative for the last few decades. The low heat and mass transfer coefficient of the adsorbent material is the main bottleneck of the adsorption cooling/heating system and resulting in large size and low performance. To make the system commercially competitive with the conventional system, high-performance refrigerant/adsorbent pairs are required. In this review, the favorable achievement in adsorbent development in terms of porous properties and their interaction with natural refrigerants is focused. Current application of different working pairs and their future prospect with special reference to their utilization are studied. Future research direction of adsorption working pairs is also analyzed.
