Abstract

Background: Hydrochemistry of groundwater is variable with location in Central Kerala dominated by sedimentary groundwater aquifers. Groundwater chemistry is also greatly influenced by activities to which humans engage in, like rock weathering during contact. Hydrochemical analysis is a basic tool to identify water types and their chemical compositions, as well as to determine whether a water is of a certain quality, which is an important requirement in any water use licensing project. Aim: This study aims to assess the hydrochemical data of groundwater samples. Methods: Sample collected from 70 open wells in and around the Thrissur Ponnani Kol in Central Kerala, through integrated statistical, Piper trilinear diagram, and spatial interpolation methods. Results: The results of this study show that Ca + and Cl− are the dominant cations and anions in the groundwater with mean concentrations of 267.39 mg/l and 574.81 mg/l, respectively. The pre-monsoon Piper: Hydrochemical facies of groundwater in the study area are depicted by plotting the relative concentration of the major cations (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺) and anions (SO₄²⁻, Cl⁻, HCO₃⁻) in the Fig. Most groundwater samples in the study sequences belong to the calcium-bicarbonate (Ca-HCO₃) type, and most of the data points are located close to the Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺ and CO₃²⁻-HCO₃⁻ vertices, suggesting the predominance of carbonate weathering processes. Indicates little exchange of Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻, and SO₄²⁻, weak anthropogenic impact, like agricultural runoff or industrial discharge. Conclusion: Thus, the clustering of grouped samples denotes localized groundwater chemistry variations likely due to differences in geology and/or recharge conditions.

Abstract

Background: Soil nutrients in ex-coal mining land are very low, therefore it needs to be restored by restoring the nutrient cycle through litter productivity and decomposition. Aim: This study was conducted to determine the litter production and decomposition rates of Cassia siamea and nutrient return on the reclaimed land of PT. Kaltim Prima Coal. Methods: Litter production data were collected using litter traps for 6 months and for decomposition rates using litter bags for 3 months. The contents of C, N, C/N, P, K, cellulose hemicellulose and lignin were taken from the litter. Results: The results showed that there was a positive correlation between waste production and temperature and wind speed and a negative correlation between waste production and rainfall and humidity. Nitrogen and phosphorus content were positively correlated with reclamation age. Litterfall contributes nutrients to the soil in the following order C>N>K>P. Cassia siamea litter has an average decomposition rate of  0.073611 kg m-2 yr-1 or 0.736114 tons ha-1 yr-1.   The very large decomposition rate in the first two weeks was because at the beginning of decomposition the decomposed part of the litterfall contained high levels of water and nitrogen which could increase the decomposition rate. Conclusion: The rate of litterfall production increases with the age of reclamation. There is a positive correlation between litterfall production and temperature and wind speed. There is a negative correlation between litterfall production and rainfall and humidity.

Abstract

Background: Groundwater serves as a primary resource for drinking water, irrigation, and industrial activities, primarily accessed through wells.  Out of the 3% of the global freshwater supply, a significant portion is locked in glaciers, and the remainder is present as groundwater.  In India, limited resources and rising pollution rates make groundwater a critical resource, providing nearly 80% of the country’s drinking water. Aim: The present study examines the quality of groundwater in the Corporation area of Kollam, a prominent coastal district in southern Kerala, India, focusing on its potability and suitability for irrigation. Methods: Twelve pre-monsoon water samples were collected from wells across the area and analyzed for physical and chemical parameters to assess the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors on groundwater quality. Poor water quality can severely impact human health as well as agricultural productivity, particularly in regions where groundwater is the primary source of water. The analyzed data were compared with the drinking and irrigation water quality standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Results: The study shows that the groundwater system exhibits an acidic characteristic due to continuous interaction with the lateritic aquifer. The samples predominantly belong to the Na-Cl or Na-HCO3 types, indicating the influence of seawater intrusion.  Most samples met the criteria for ‘good-quality irrigation water, while others fell in the classification for ‘poor-quality. Conclusion: The findings highlight the increasing challenges associated with groundwater utilization and emphasize the importance of sustainable groundwater management practices in Kollam, a fast-growing coastal urban center of the state.

Abstract

Background: Climate change poses a profound and escalating threat to global food systems, particularly for small-scale aquaculture communities such as shrimp farmers in coastal regions, whose livelihoods and food security are increasingly vulnerable to environmental variability and extreme weather events. Methods: This study investigated the impact of climate change adaptation strategies on household food security in Bangil Regency, East Java, Indonesia, based on a comprehensive analysis of 1500 shrimp farmers. Using the innovative Multivariant Probit (MVP) method to identify factors influencing the decision to adopt adaptation practices. These factors include changes in the timing of clear fry dispersion, acceleration of harvest time, polyculture practices, and changes in the type of clear fry. We also employed the Ordered Probit Model to evaluate the impact of climate change adaptation on food security, as measured by the food insecurity experience score. Results: A strong positive relationship was revealed between the level of adaptation applied and the resilience of household aquaculture among shrimp farmers. This correlation shows that the more intense adaptation is implemented, the better the food security status of households. Conclusion: This study shows that climate change adaptation has a positive impact on food security. These findings underscore the need for adaptation strategies, especially for small-scale farmers, and tailored interventions to ensure food security in the face of climate change challenges.

Abstract

Background: The increasing adoption of mobile phones among smallholder farmers in Indonesia presents new opportunities to access agrometeorological and climate change information, essential for climate adaptation in rural agricultural areas. Aim: This study examines the extent to which mobile phone ownership influences access to climate change adaptation information among smallholder farmers in East Java. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 7,850 smallholder households. The study assessed the relationship between mobile phone ownership and its use for accessing climate-related information, participating in farmer groups, and conducting agricultural transactions. Logistic regression was applied to identify key determinants of mobile phone utilization. Results: Of the total respondents, 54.4% reported owning a mobile phone. Among them, 46.4% used their phones to access climate change information, 41.4% engaged in buying and selling agricultural products, and 46.4% participated in farmer organizations. Mobile phone ownership and group membership were significantly associated with mobile phone use for agricultural purposes (p < 0.001). Conversely, age and household income were not statistically significant. Notable variations were also observed in relation to smartphone ownership, gender, and educational level, with higher education and female participation linked to increased utilization of phones for climate-related activities. Conclusion: Mobile phone ownership plays a critical role in enhancing access to climate adaptation information and agricultural engagement among smallholders. The findings highlight the potential of digital tools to strengthen resilience and support climate-smart practices. Promoting equitable access to mobile technology, particularly for women and less-educated farmers, is vital for inclusive agricultural adaptation strategies.

Abstract

The study analyzed the impact of climate change perception of farmers on the technical efficiency of rice production in North-West Bangladesh. Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier approach, including maximum likelihood estimation and technical efficiency estimation, was employed to determine the technical efficiency of Boro rice production in Nilphamari, Bangladesh. Required data were collected from 108 Boro rice-producing farmers of Domar upazila under Nilphamari district, selected using a convenient sampling technique. In analyzing the data, farmer-specific technical efficiency scores were estimated using the Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier approach, including maximum likelihood estimation and technical efficiency estimation. The weighted average index was used to measure climate change perception of the farmers, and the mean weighted climate change perception index is 19.25. The study's findings also revealed that the technical efficiency of Boro rice production in Domar Upazila under Nilphamari district is 87%. It is also found that education, access to non-farm income, access to credit, access to organic fertilizer and ownership of land, access to climate awareness training, and access to the government. subsidy and all the factors of production are the significant factors that affect the level of technical efficiency. The current technical efficiency indicates that Boro rice production in the study area has been operating below the maximum level of production frontier, and given the available technology, farmers can increase their production by 13% through improving their awareness related to attributes and by making optimal use of factors of production or inputs.
