This study presents a systematic review of 33 peer-reviewed articles to categorize and analyze indicators for assessing the socio-ecological vulnerability of water-related ecosystem services, ultimately offering methodological recommendations to better integrate hydrological, ecological, and social dimensions in future vulnerability assessments.
This study addresses the limitations of conventional water quality assessments by developing a Cumulative Water Health Index that integrates antimicrobial resistance data with traditional parameters, providing a transparent, One Health-aligned decision-support tool for risk-based urban river governance and sustainable development.
This study develops a GIS-based flood vulnerability assessment framework using the Vulnerability Scoping Diagram and SCS-CN method to evaluate 1,969 immovable cultural heritage sites across Beijing's Ecological Conservation Area, revealing that climate change will significantly increase flood risks—particularly in mountainous districts and for undesignated sites—and validating the model's accuracy through retrospective analysis of July 2025 flood damages.
A year-long study of Kenyan tropical estuaries reveals that seasonal hydrological forcing, particularly during long rains, significantly increases legacy organochlorine pesticide burdens, while local hydrochemical conditions like dissolved oxygen and pH drive variations in mixture composition and water-sediment partitioning, underscoring the necessity of integrated monitoring across both compartments.
This study evaluates the impact of Bargi Dam on the Narmada River's water quality in the Jabalpur–Mandla stretch, finding that while all measured physicochemical parameters remain within permissible limits and water quality improves by approximately 16.1% from upstream to downstream, the overall Water Quality Index still classifies the water as "poor," underscoring the need for continued monitoring and eco-friendly management.
This study presents a unified systems-based framework linking pesticide and heavy metal contamination to soil process disruption and ecosystem service decline, evaluating restorative mitigation strategies within the context of Sustainable Development Goals to guide systemic transformation in agricultural practices, governance, and research.
This systematic review synthesizes the evolution of landslide monitoring from conventional methods to advanced, data-driven remote sensing and AI-integrated frameworks, highlighting current technological shifts, persistent challenges in validation and climate integration, and future priorities for developing resilient early warning systems.
The study reveals that reducing meat consumption alone yields limited improvements in groundwater quality because nitrogen pollution is more strongly driven by crop production and aquifer susceptibility, necessitating a coordinated transition that also addresses feed-crop area and fertilizer use to effectively mitigate nitrate contamination.
This study utilizes an integrated geospatial and environmental assessment to demonstrate that the Kayelekera Uranium Mine in Northern Malawi has caused severe landscape transformation, drastic riverine fragmentation, and significant radiological contamination, leading to escalating socio-environmental risks and heightened health impacts for local communities between 1990 and 2025.
This study assessed the physicochemical properties and total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) contamination in soils from three auto-mechanic villages in Benin Metropolis, revealing significant spatial variations in soil characteristics and the presence of sixteen TPH congeners, thereby highlighting the urgent need for improved waste management and remediation strategies to mitigate environmental and health risks.
