The aim of the research was to study the effect of the surface runoff of urbanized areas on the chemical composition of the collector-waste waters of the Semikarakorsk branch of the federal state budgetary institution "Rostovmeliovodkhoz".
The Kalu Ganga Basin in Sri Lanka is generally flooded once a year. A network of low-lying lands acts as natural retention and storage that captures floodwater, minimizing damage. An increase in the flood frequency has been observed in recent years.

Greenbelts are the best-known growth management policies in Germany. As part of its regional plans, they attempt to keep undeveloped areas permanently open, thus avoiding sprawling, i.e., land consumptive forms of urban development.
The diurnal land surface temperature (LST) variation is a primary characteristic of the effects of urbanization. However, no study to date has focused on changes in diurnal LST variation in urban environments.
Stream fish distributions are commonly linked to environmental disturbances affecting terrestrial landscapes.
Urbanization is viewed as endangering more critical habitats of global value and is more ubiquitous than any other human activity affecting biodiversity, climate, water and nutrient cycles at multiple scales.
This study analyzes urban expansion and the peri-urban land tenure security situation in Amhara National Regional State of Ethiopia, taking Bahir Dar and Debre Markos as case studies.
Despite the potential to provide new insight into the underlying heterogeneity of urban thermal landscapes, local indicators of spatial autocorrelation (LISA) remains underutilized in land surface temperature (LST) related study.
