Securing Water in Himalayan Towns in the Context of Rapid Urbanisation and a Changing Climate |Chapter 7 | Current Research on Geography, Earth Science and Environment Vol. 5

 

Towns and cities in the Himalayan regions of India and Nepal, and the Asian continent in general, which is home to over a fifth of the world’s population, are undergoing rapid expansion and urbanisation. The population in this region is increasingly becoming concentrated in urban and peri-urban areas.  Population growth, changing lifestyles, rising economic status, and the effects of climate change are all coalescing to cause acute water shortages, particularly during the dry season, leading to a situation of water insecurity in the region. This chapter examines the factors leading to water stress in the central and western Himalaya of Nepal and India, respectively, in view of the potential future impacts of climate change. The four towns of Dhulikhel and Dharan in Nepal, and Mussoorie and Haldwani in India, representative of urban areas in the lower Himalaya that are dependent on springs, streams, rivers and groundwater for meeting domestic and commercial water needs, facing a multitude of challenges in securing water, were chosen for this study. The most important cause of water scarcity in the study cities is the rapid population increase. In the cities, population growth and interlinked factors such as migration from rural areas, tourist influx, unscientific construction and degradation of recharge zones are causing serious threats to water security, disasters and pollution. Land-use change has further contributed to declining water availability in streams, springs, and groundwater reserves. The final factor that is influencing water availability, and can be expected to impact future water supply, is a change in climatic patterns. The present circumstances and trends indicate that ensuring adequate supplies of acceptable quality water for these cities will become ever more challenging in the decades to come unless city-specific climate-adaptive and equitable water supply measures are employed effectively.  Moreover, certain segments of city dwellers face greater difficulties in gaining access to potable water due to socio-cultural and economic factors. Therefore, to achieve sustainable, equitable and climate resilient water management, measures such as, protection of critical urban water zones, stream bank and gully stabilization, water harvesting and groundwater recharge will be needed along with augmentation of infrastructure, increased storage capacity, appropriate policies and institutional arrangements at local, state, and national levels for effectively addressing the issues of equitable water access to each of the households in the cities. Strategic engagements with the private sector and innovative solutions, as well as policy measures, are key imperatives to meeting the challenges in securing water for these Himalayan towns.

Development and Assessment of an Integrated Light-Acoustic-Chemical Trap for Sustainable Crop Pest Management | Chapter 8 | Agricultural Sciences: Techniques and Innovations Vol. 4

 

In modern farming, insect traps have become an important tool for managing pests in a way that’s both effective and environmentally friendly. Instead of relying only on chemical pesticides, farmers now use a variety of traps like sticky cards, light traps, and pheromone-baited devices to monitor and control harmful insect populations. Conventional pest management relies heavily on chemical pesticides, causing environmental and ecological concerns. Therefore, eco-friendly trapping systems are necessary for sustainable agriculture. The aim of the present study was to observe and evaluate the effectiveness of a newly designed composite light-sound-lure-based trap system for monitoring and controlling insect pests. This trap was designed to assess the efficiency of various components installed in a newly developed configuration. The primary objective of the present investigation was to assess the behavioural responses of various insect and pest species to a newly designed trap. The system integrated UV light (365 nm and 395 nm), blue light, sticky cards, an electric grid, and an ultrasonic transducer. It also uses blue and white LED lights, which make the trap more visible and attractive to several other insect species. The trap also uses chemical lures, such as pheromones or food-based scents, to draw in specific pest species more effectively. The trap has an electric grid that kills insects immediately on contact. The trap was operated for three hours, from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Results indicated high attraction rates for several key agricultural pests, including scarab beetles, moths, thrips, whiteflies, mosquitoes, and leafhoppers, with blue light being particularly effective against small flying insects. The sticky surfaces and electric grid contributed to enhanced pest mortality. Notably, the ultrasonic component successfully deterred bats, thereby minimising non-target interference near fruit-bearing trees. The results indicate that UV-LED light enhances spatial congruence between predator and prey. The present composite trap demonstrated considerable promise as a multi-functional, non-toxic, and field-adaptable solution for use in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems. Since this trap has not been previously studied in a quantitative framework, future research is possible regarding its effectiveness or insect interaction patterns.

Ghana has witnessed substantial investment in its hotel business from both domestic and foreign enterprises. However, the environmental impact of the industry is exacerbated by the availability of additional amenities such as restaurants, nightclubs, shopping malls, swimming pools, parking lots, and golf courses, all of which contribute to indirect and induced environmental effects. Environmental initiatives and conversations have raised environmental sustainability consciousness among hotel consumers, prompting them to demand that the products and services they use be eco-friendly. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the commitment of hotels in Ghana to environmental sustainability. This study is a comprehensive review using online research journal websites online research journal websites, such as the PubMed database, Academic Library, and Google Scholar, as well as other in-context articles. This study focused on understanding environmental sustainability and examining its adoption and the level of commitment among hotels in Ghana. Hotel businesses engage in environmental management by developing environmental policies, green procurement, adhering to environmental legislation, environmental auditing, ecolabelling and certification, waste management and recycling, water and energy conservation, environmental education, pollution prevention, responsible marketing practices, and community support. Hotel managers are aware of the environmental issues that the tourism industry faces. They see their engagement in environmental management strategies as helping to reduce costs through operational efficiency.

Development of Effective Policies and Regulations to Ensure Sustainable Off-grid Solar E-waste Management Systems in Kenya | Chapter 1 | Geography, Earth Science and Environment: Research Highlights Vol. 5

Off-grid solar systems provide clean and affordable energy sources. The adoption of off-grid solar energy is becoming increasingly popular in Kenya as a source of renewable energy, with an estimated 10 million people using off-grid solar power systems as of the end of year 2022. However, the rising off-grid solar systems technology uptake comes with a growing amount of solar e-waste, which can have harmful environmental and health effects if not managed properly. The main sources of e-waste from off-grid solar systems are batteries, solar panels, and appliances such as lamps. Current data on the exact amount of solar e-waste being generated in Kenya is unavailable and this amount will continue to rise with the expiry of many of these off-grid solar systems lifespans. The study used a qualitative research approach and adopted a triangulation research design method to assess. This study through stakeholder’s workshop and document review data collection and analysis approaches, established that Kenya just like many countries in the Global South has a robust general waste policy and regulation management framework. However, it lacks specific policies and regulations on off-grid-solar electronic waste management, a challenge that many countries in the Global North have made considerate steps to address. The absence of a definitive law on e-solar waste management is partly because solar PV power is a relatively new concept in the country.  In addition, there is a lack of awareness of the hazardous nature of off-grid solar systems’ e-waste components to both consumers and institutions of governance. There is a lack of adequate infrastructure and sufficient systems for off-grid solar e-waste management in the country. Enforcement and implementation challenges of the existing general waste regulations due to limited resources and capacity and corruption culture are major impending factors. This calls for the development of effective policies and regulations to ensure sustainable off-grid solar e-waste management in Kenya against the backdrop of the rising uptake of off-grid solar systems. Research and data management of solar e-waste are crucial for better response to emerging waste management challenges so further research is required to evaluate the impact of solar e-waste on the environment to support informed decision-making.

Chickpea is one of the main crops grown everywhere Uttar Pradesh and the farmers in these domains are facing a bigger issue related to the disease of chickpea pod borer. Keeping it visible, the present research was transported at the Central Research Field of Department of Agricultural Entomology, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during the Rabi season of 2021-22. Metarhizium anisopliae, Beauveria bassiana, Karanj Oil, Neem Oil, Spinosad, Emamectin benzoate + Indoxacarb, and Indoxacarb were the cures employed in the study. The results displayed that Emamectin benzoate 5% SG + Indoxacarb 14.5% SC (73.57%) had the largest portion reduction in basic population and was ultimate effective at lowering the larval populace. It is then understood by Spinosad 45% SC (65.03%), Indoxacarb 14.5% SC (59.02%), Beauveria bassiana (1x108 cfu) (54.87%), Metarhizium anisopliae (1x108 cfu) (50.92%), Neem Oil 2% (45.81%) and Karanj Oil 2% (37.53%). The incorporation of botanicals accompanying that of the novel insecticides has proved expected a beneficial individual and also pushing up the sustainable land practices.

Recent Study on Sustainable Program Management: Hierarchical Causal Systems | Chapter 2 | Research Developments in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 5

The enhancement of programme management procedures is the aim of this study work. The method can help to cut down on nuances, repetition, and redundancies. In this regard, seven elements have been discussed in order to help the achievement of long-term management of a development programme. Therefore, the conceptual framework of the "CARROT-BUS" model was considered for carrying out this study. While BUS is seen as a bottom-up approach, CARROT, which stands for Capacity, Accountability, Resources, Results, Ownership, and Transparency, stresses environmental enabling. The framework of Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs may therefore be viewed as conceptually similar to this holistic and causal paradigm.

Finally, when conducting this research, secondary sources were carefully taken into account. According to the research, sustainability is one of the key characteristics that institutions all over the world uphold in order to achieve anticipated and convincing results.

Achieving a Stable, Adequate, and Sustainable Financing of Primary Education in Nigeria | Chapter 08 | Research Developments in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 4

 It cannot be overstated that elementary school is the bedrock upon which all subsequent levels of education are built. It's also comparable to a building's entrance gate, which regulates who gets in and out. Despite the significance of basic education, financing in Nigeria has been insecure, inadequate, and unsustainable. Over the years, there has been a 'push and pull syndrome' between the three levels of government in primary education (i.e. federal, state, and local). Its financing has also been insufficient to solve its issues, putting the government under financial duress. This research looks at the history of elementary education financing in Nigeria. It focused on the manoeuvring between the federal, state, and local governments, as well as the inadequacies and ineffectiveness of the federal, state, and municipal governments. The financing is not sustainable. Joint financing by the federal, state, and local governments, the introduction of an Education Tax for public employees, increased private sector participation/contributions, enlisting the assistance of old students, organising fundraising activities, engaging in farming production, and ensuring accountability in the management of primary education funds are all suggested as ways to achieve adequate, stable, and sustainable primary education financing.
