Abstract: The city's waste was disposed in a dumping area leading to unhygienic conditions that affected the soil condition and also posed a huge risk to public health. The Dungarpur Municipal Council took action by implementing a door-to-door collection system, segregation at the source, and establishing an Integrated Solid Waste Management Center. Dungarpur has been declared ODF in October 2017. In the Swachh Survekshan Survey-2019, the Dungarpur city bagged third position in the All India Ranking for the small cities. For best sanitation and solid waste management Dungarpur is the only body to receive this award for the fourth consecutive time. The sanitation workers implemented the door-to-door waste collection system include the dry and wet waste segregation.......

Abstract: Thai Nguyen is a well known province located in a midland and mountainous region in Northern Vietnam. The features of sloping land in Thai Nguyen province are quite diverse, which is an important foundation for agricultural and forestry development. In Thai Nguyen province, mountainous land accounts for 76.47% of the province's natural area. The soil was formed due to the result of rapid, strong and thorough weathering, but with the characteristics of mountainous terrain, it is also susceptible to degradation, washout and erosion. In this article, the authors research some solutions for.......

Abstract: The cement industry generates pollutants, including sulfur oxides, which have detrimental effects on the environment and human health. Wet Scrubber technology effectively controls air pollution by removing sulfur dioxide. However, this process results in polluted water, exacerbating water scarcity and environmental compliance challenges. Managing gaseous wastes and treating the polluted water incur additional costs. This study proposes an accounting framework for the cement industry to reduce water pollution and waste management costs while achieving environmental compatibility. The focus is on managing sulfur dioxide emissions from.......

Abstract: Background: Municipal solid waste landfills are said to be the most accepted method of solid waste disposal in the world, this is because its cheaper to manage as compared to other waste disposals. Countries worldwide face an ongoing challenge with solid waste with over two billion tons of Municipal Solid Waste produced every year. This has become a burden to the management of waste at the landfill. Objective: To examine the impacts of municipal solid waste management landfills where it looked at the environmental and health impacts of landfills. Methods: The study design was.....

Abstract: Habitat transformation, building constructions, agricultural activities and acceleration of infrastructural developments are critical exogenous drivers behind rapid decline in avifauna populations throughout most landscapes in Kenya. This study investigated the determinants of avifauna distribution in University of Eldoret (UoE). UoE is surrounded by large-scale farms and is undergoing massive building constructions. A hand-held Global Positioning System was used to collect data on avian locations, habitat types and geophysical features. Geophysical.......

Abstract: Rwanda is one of the most populated countries in Africa, its economic activity depends on agriculture, where 66.5% of its population depends on agricultural activities. This high population and non-smart agricultural dependence put noticeable pressure on biodiversity and ecosystems including aquatic environments. To reduce the effect of agriculture on aquatic bodies, Rwanda has adopted Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as a pivotto ensure the provision of clean water as well as contribute to the well-being of aquatic living. This study......
