The prediction of water quality parameters plays an important role in water resources and environmental systems. The use of electrical conductivity (EC) as a water quality indicator is one of the important parameters for estimating the amount of mine...
Present study deals with the river Ganga water quality and its impact on metal speciation in its sediments. Concentration of physico-chemical parameters was highest in summer season followed by winter and lowest in rainy season. Metal speciation stud...

Accurate and reliable suspended sediment load (SSL) prediction models are necessary for planning and management of water resource structures. More recently, soft computing techniques have been used in hydrological and environmental modeling. The pres...
Identifying land-use drivers of changes in river condition is complicated by spatial scale, geomorphological context, land management, and correlations among responding variables such as nutrients and sediments. Furthermore, variations in standard me...

Biological oxygen demand (BOD) is the most significant water quality parameter and indicates water pollution with respect to the present biodegradable organic matter content. European countries are therefore obliged to report annual BOD values to Eur...
Assessing pollutant risks to threatened and endangered (T&E) species is crucial for their conservation. However, traditional risk assessment methods for bioaccumulative pollutants to T&E fishes is challenging due to uncertainties in exposure-based to...
Ecological security is vital for ecosystem sustainability and varies across scales. Macro-scale assessments often miss local details, whereas micro-scale evaluations may overlook broader patterns. Multi-scale analysis of ecological security patterns ...
