The journal establishes an integrated understanding of the interface between natural processes of water resources and inland water ecosystems with their human domains. Incorporating broad themes concerning ecology of inland water ecosystems and perspectives regarding sustainable utilizations of the water resources. Science on inland water ecosystems is an applied multi/interdisciplinary field relating to efforts to monitor, manage, and restore both fresh and brackish water ecosystems. The journal thus underlines significant work that draws on and incorporates elements of hydrology, meteorology, ecology, limnology, ecological economics, and social environmental sciences related to water resources and inland water ecosystems. The journal allows for both monodisciplinary and interdisciplinary submissions and a broad range of methodological approaches, thus appealing to diverse readers. Specific research areas covered include: modeling the impacts of management scenarios (socio-economics-ecological-hydrological impacts); simulation of the alteration of the quality of inland water ecosystems (long-term data series); novel approaches for alternative utilization of inland water ecosystems; the development of novel indices/ criteria to assess the quality of inland water ecosystems; assessments of the economic value of inland water ecosystems’ ecosystem services; the advances of alternative governance to sustainably manage inland water ecosystems; progress on alternative conservation strategies for inland water ecosystems; the development of alternative technologies to mitigate impacts of anthropogenic activities on inland water ecosystems; the advances of technologies to rehabilitate and to restore the quality of inland water ecosystems, water disaster risks and disaster preparedness, resiliencies of water infrastructure and management. Further, research on water resources is concerned with the conservation of quantity and quality of water. Thus, topics related to water resources such: water resources management, water resources information system, water policies and planning, hydrology and hydrogeology, water quality and environment, hydraulics, water and wastewater treatment sustainability, resilience, and adaptation of water resources and infrastructure to uncertain and evolving environments, surface and groundwater resources will be important key part from the journal.

Abstract

Sediment ponds in coal mining operations serve as critical infrastructure for wastewater management. A major challenge in their operation is excessive sediment accumulation, which is often difficult to anticipate accurately, especially when relying solely on theoretical calculations. Such circumstances highlight the importance of an approach that is not solely theoretical, but also considers the actual dynamics observed in the field. The coal mining sediment pond examined in this study was initially constructed to accommodate a catchment area of 205 Ha, with a useful life of 10 years. However, the pond has reached full capacity in less than five years, 53% earlier than expected, indicating the need for re-evaluation, especially as the catchment area is planned to expand to 885 Ha. This study aims to evaluate, compare, and recalculate the sediment pond’s capacity under expanded catchment conditions (885 Ha), by integrating field-based measurements and theoretical sediment yield methods to produce a more representative design. The methods employed include the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), Lane & Kalinske’s Approach, Einstein’s Approach, Brook’s Approach, and Chang, Simons, and Richardson’s Approach. RUSLE utilizes secondary data, while the other methods incorporate both primary and secondary data. The results show a wide range of sediment transport estimates, from 20,184 m3 using Einstein’sto 507,075 m3 using Chang’s. Among the evaluated methods, Lane and Kalinske, as well as Brook, produced sediment volume estimates that closely matched field-based measurements, making them suitable for field conditions. RUSLE produced a lower-bound estimate, while Einstein and Chang’s method deviated significantly from the observed range. These findings underscore the importance of integrating field measurements with theoretical models to enhance the reliability of sediment-yield estimation and support informed decision-making in sediment pond.
