まとめ

栄養素管理政策は,水体からの温室効果ガス (GHG) の排出量を削減し,気候変動を緩和します. 気候変動の恩恵はしばしば見過ごされ,政策評価に含められるべきです.

科学分野:

環境科学
気候科学
水資源管理

背景:

温室効果ガス (GHG) の排出量が大幅に増加します
温室効果ガス排出量の削減による気候上の利益は,現在の水質政策の利益コスト分析ではしばしば無視されています.

研究の目的:

栄養管理プログラムによる温室効果ガス排出量の削減による気候の恩恵を定量化する.
気候被害の軽減による経済的価値を,水質政策の評価に組み込む.

主な方法:

排出量削減をシミュレートするために,リンクされた流域,湖,水中のGHGモデルを使用しました.
チサピーク湾の栄養管理プログラムにモデルを適用しミシシッピ・アチャファラヤ川流域に推計しました

主要な成果:

チェサピーク湾の栄養素管理により温室効果ガスの排出量が削減され,南部流域ではさらに減少すると予測されています.
チェサピーク湾の計画では 50年間で 3億ドルを超える気候効果が予想されています
ミシシッピ・アチャファラヤ川流域における同様の政策による気候上の大きな利益が示唆されている.

結論:

水道からの温室効果ガス排出量の削減は栄養素管理政策がもたらす重要な,しばしば見過ごされる社会的な利益です
気候の恩恵を考慮すると,水質改善のイニシアチブの経済的正当性が強化されます.

Quality of Water

184

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...

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

26.3K

Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Testing Water Quality

179

When the quality of water for concrete preparation is uncertain, its impact on the setting time of cement and compressive strength of mortar is assessed by comparison with de-ionized or distilled water benchmarks. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C1602 requires the setting times to be within 90 minutes of the control, British Standard (BS) 3146:1980 allows a 30-minute variance in the initial setting, while British Standards European Norm (BS EN) 1008 specifies initial setting...

Bioremediation

20.0K

Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

Global Climate Change

24.7K

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.
