Volume 1, Issue 3 , 2021, Pages 37-50

https://doi.org/10.22034/wpj.2021.264887.1025

Abstract
  The risk of flooding is the main natural hazard that affects the European region. This hazard has worsened in the recent decades due to the urban occupation of flood areas and the effects of climate change. Therefore, in Spain, interest in this subject is accentuated in the case of future teachers because ...  Read More

Ecohydrology
A cross-national analysis of the factors impacting the coastal ecological footprint

Zareena Begum Irfan; Amra Shirin Faisal

Volume 1, Issue 3 , 2021, Pages 51-64

https://doi.org/10.22034/wpj.2021.263286.1022

Abstract
  Coastal ecological footprint (EF) forms one of the six components of the EF measure. It accounts for the marine area required to sustain current levels of seafood consumption within a nation. It is estimated by drawing on the calculation of net primary production or the amount of solar energy converted ...  Read More

Abstract
  Climate change is probably going to affect groundwater resources, in Sub-Saharan ccountries (SSA) in Africa either directly, by means of changing precipitation patterns, or indirectly through the combination of changing precipitation patterns with evolving land-use practices and water request. West Africa ...  Read More

Ecohydrology
The ecological condition of the Lasvinsky lakes, Perm, Russia

Svetlana Dvinskikh; Olga Larchenko

Volume 1, Issue 3 , 2021, Pages 79-87
