Floods can be hugely destructive, but they also offer opportunities for farmers and fisherfolk. If their frequency and extent can be measured, then we will be better able to mitigate costs and maximise benefits. Digital geospatial flood inundation mapping is a powerful new approach for flood response that shows floodwater extent and depth on the land surface. IWMI research will evaluate this new technology and develop a prototype flood inundation map for South Asia. Also discussed is a project to flood map and model in a spate irrigation system in Sudan.

System Dynamic model for Urmia lake Presented at ISDC 2015Mahdi Zarghami
Rapid urbanization and climate change along with new defined agricultural and industrial water rights are threatening all water resources including the lakes. When these systems are healthy, they provide valuable ecological and socio-economic benefits to current and future generations. However lakes are now subject to a high risk of drying or getting polluted. Moreover, this situation may have direct health consequences such as raising the risk of asthma and some skin-related diseases. This critical condition requires a robust solution that yet remains uncertain. The goal of this research is to propose sustainable lake management by using system dynamics approach. A simulation model to compare the alternative rehabilitation options is developed focusing on feedback and the externalities of decisions made using the SD approach. The main achievement of this modeling is to help trust building among conflicting stakeholders which is essential for effective water diplomacy framework. Results of the paper indicate that increasing irrigation efficiency by 4% annually will be most effective plan in saving Urmia Lake. Also, Zaab inter-basin water transfer project will have more than 25% contribution in saving the lake. In addition, decreasing 15% of cultivated area in six years is more effective than cloud seeing and Aras water transfer projects.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

Concluding remarks (1)
• Site selection- an integral step to identify target
watersheds is proposed.
• Results help to prioritize investments.
• Tool for decision makers to execute mitigation measures
for large scale benefits.
• Approach directly transferable to other river basins.

Water for a food-secure world
• The introduction of distributed structures across the
basin leads to reduction of basin outflow and
improvement of groundwater levels.
• Groundwater levels gradually improved after a 5 year
period, resulting in a reversal of groundwater depletion
trend.
• Peak flow reductions result in lowering the magnitude
(i.e. return period, inundated area) of current floods.
