Quality of Water

176
In concrete preparation, the quality of water is paramount as it affects the strength and durability of the concrete. Potable water is usually preferred; however, it must not have excessive sodium or potassium to prevent compromising the concrete's integrity. Water quality is typically evaluated based on impurities such as dissolved solids, chlorides, and sulfates, and its pH value is ideally between 6 and 8. Even slightly acidic natural water may be acceptable unless it contains harmful...

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

95
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Keystone Species01:39

Keystone Species

22.0K
Measures of species biodiversity, such as richness (i.e., the number of species present) and evenness (i.e., their relative abundance), describe an ecological community’s structure. Many factors affect community structure, including abiotic factors (e.g., sunlight and nutrients), disturbances (e.g., fire or flood), species interactions (e.g., predation or competition), and chance events (e.g., foreign species invasion). Certain species—such as keystone species—also play a...

What is Biodiversity?

27.8K
Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Environmental Science
  • Conservation Biology

Background:

  • Lake ecosystems provide vital ecosystem services (ES) essential for human well-being.
  • Anthropogenic degradation threatens the sustainable supply of these services, necessitating ecosystem restoration.
  • A significant knowledge gap exists regarding the global mapping of lake ecosystem services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a systematic literature review on the mapping of lake ecosystem services.
  • To identify trends, methodologies, and research gaps in lake ES mapping.
  • To emphasize the urgent need for global research in this domain.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of 617 identified studies, with 30 selected for analysis (2015-2021).
  • Categorization of studies based on geographical region, ES classification (regulating, provisioning, cultural), scale, and methodology.
  • Identification and analysis of common methods, including Ecosystem Service Value (ESV) and biophysical modeling.

Main Results:

  • Most studies were conducted in Asia, Europe, and America, focusing on ES supply at a regional scale.
  • Qualitative and quantitative approaches were equally represented, with ESV and biophysical modeling being the most common methods.
  • Few studies mapped all analyzed ES, validated results, or considered climate change impacts, with most focusing on land-use change.

Conclusions:

  • The systematic review revealed a limited body of research on lake ES mapping globally.
  • There is a critical and urgent need for increased research efforts in lake ecosystem services mapping.
  • Further studies should address a broader range of ES, incorporate validation, and investigate climate change impacts.
