Augmentation approaches warrant further consideration as part of water agencies' regional water supply portfolios. Although the ocean water augmentation approaches discussed in this paper are based on a case study in California, the approach can be applied to similar scenarios around the world.

This study seeks the view of ten school principals on the pathways of incorporating environmental education into the school curriculum in South Africa.

This chapter intends to systematize the trends and approaches that will inspire local policymaking in response to climate change challenges and to meet European guidelines and recommendations for s

This chapter explores how rapid urbanization and climate change threaten urban water security, using Windhoek, Namibia, as a case study. It highlights how adaptive, innovative approaches—such as resource-efficient systems and resilient storage—can transform hydrosocial systems to ensure sustainable water access, supporting healthier, more resilient cities (SDG 11) and safeguarding public health (SDG 3). The Windhoek experience underscores the importance of rethinking development pathways to build adaptive, equitable urban water systems in a changing world.

Pakistan's water resources experiencing mounting pressure. UN SDG 6 provides a roadmap for achieving sustainable water management. Long-term planning and community engagement are key to success. Policy recommendations include efficient pricing and climate change integration.

The authors put forward a mathematical model for examining the impact of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services on reducing the transmission of waterborne diseases such as enteric diarrheal disease (EDD). It is found that wastewater and sewage treatment (WST) control has the most significant impact in terms of WASH interventions employed. The findings have could have very important public health potential and tie in strongly with the goals of SDG 6.

The article discusses the development of improved impact tests and characterization of ice balls to assess the hail resistance of photovoltaic modules, in order to address the increasing frequency and intensity of hailstorms due to climate change

This study used the SBASInSAR technique to measure long time-series land subsidence in and around Ludhiana city, Punjab, India, and found that the southern, south-eastern, and south-central parts of the study area had been consistently subsiding with an accumulative average land subsidence rate of 24.7 mm/yr during the investigation period from September 2019 to July 2022, while the western and eastern parts were moderately affected, and the northern part experienced slight upliftment.

This article ties into SDG 3, 10, and 13 by compiling in a Systematic Review the effects of extreme weather events on access to HIV services

In this paper the authors show how the heterogeneity in cities means that individual cities need specific low-carbon roadmaps, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach
