Abstract: After the annexation of the Crimean peninsula by the Russian Federation, the construction of the Kerch bridge crossing, which has not been coordinated with Ukraine, has been started, which in the near future may lead to the destruction of the unique flora and fauna of the Black and Azov Seas. The results of the Kerch Strait Bridge construction consequences for the environment are presented. The main sources of data were the materials of remote sensing (RS), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), European Space Agency (ESA), US Geological Survey (USGS), literary sources, as well as the results of Tuzla Island survey carried out before the beginning of construction. The data regarding ecologic and hydrologic situation caused by the Kerch Strait Bridge construction were processed for the period between 2014 and 2017. An expert evaluation was conducted to determine the damage caused to Ukraine as a result of the construction of the Kerch Bridge, as well as the gathering of evidences upon violations of Ukrainian and international legislation for further consideration in international courts. The conclusion about significant changes in the water regime of the Kerch Strait and the entire Sea of Azov was made.

Abstract: The urban areas are the most vulnerable to flooding especially those located on sites exposed to these risks including the city of Meknes. The objective of this work is to highlight the urban environment through this case study. To do this, it has adopted an approach map and hydraulic modeling involving to the Compendium and the crossing of map data as well as to the different data collected through the tools to serve the development of the territories while developing a map of danger relating to the risk of flooding in the city of Meknes.

Abstract: Water flows from Magadi hills to Bangalore for about 60 Km, regulates the water quality phenomena through exchange of water. This is the main source of water to caterers drinking, domestic and irrigation purposes of Bangalore City and its sub unbans. Due to improper maintenance and increase papulations of Bangalore City, discharge of sewage water to the Vrishabhavathi river and further this water is flowing back and contaminate the main water bodies which may lead to alter the drinking water quality of Magadi hill range water bodies. Information about water quality monitoring reports and the future project monitoring for these Magadi hill range lakes and reservoirs with special reference to developing countries and its necessary methods/ devices will be reviewed and discussed.

Abstract: The use of water resources in arid lands is strongly limited by their quantity. To add to such knowledge, this study evaluates the natural water quality and its suitability for drinking, agricultural and industrial purposes in the northern Tianshan catchments (Central Asia), using chemical-physical indicators. The waters are neutral to alkaline and most of them are soft-fresh waters. The total dissolved solid (TDS) varies over two orders of magnitude. Much of the solutes and physicochemical parameters in water are under the highest desirable limits of the World Health Organization (WHO) for drinking purpose and most waters are of good water quality for irrigation. The effects of local pollution are minimal in the montane and piedmont areas of these watersheds but are significant in the oases and central areas of the drainage basins. Although the headwaters of the northern Tianshan catchments represent natural background conditions (soft-fresh water in salinity and hardness) and population densities within the catchment are relatively low, the river basin is facing relatively high anthropogenic pressure on water quality in the low reaches. The main contributors to the nutrient emissions are agricultural land use and, to a lesser extent, unban settlements with a high proportion of households without connection to wastewater treatment plants. Proposals for regional water resources management are advised, i.g. the geographic data and information should be detailedly included in the assessment and monitoring procedure, a water quality model should be built, and information technology such as visualization technology and the internet should be used.
