Abstract: Hypoxia is one of the potential stressors associated with global warming and climate change in aquatic systems, which refers to a dissolved oxygen level less than 2.8mg 0/2L 9equivalent to 2mL 02/L or 91.4 mM). More precisely, hypoxia occurs when oxygen level in water is less than 25 percent of the saturation at a particular temperature. Hypoxia in aquaculture systems usually occurs due to pollution, crowding, or high stocking densities. It is a condition at which most organisms become unable to maintain physiological homeostasis or fail to survive.

Abstract: In the unending series of discussions and negotiations on climate change, it might be too premature to uphold that glacier in the Himalayan region are receding at an alarming pace due to global warming. However, the inference that biophysical environment, socio-economic conditions, and the livelihood of the people, inhabiting the Himalayan regions and the adjacent areas, have been in a state of transition for quite some time due to the global warming and its fallouts-is hardly debatable.

Abstract: Rajasthan is a culturally rich state and has artistic and ethnic traditions with reflect the ancient Indian way of life. There is a rich and varied folk culture from villages which are often portrayed in various art forms and is symbolic of the state. Rajasthan i renowned all over the world for its handicrafts. The handicraft work of Rajasthan is one of the best examples of sustainable living, where several local communities, from far off rural settings, have not only managed to keep the tradition alive but have also passed on their techniques, manual /hand art work, to successive generations. This has contributed towards generating employment, not only for men, but also for the women folk.

Abstract: Environmental conservation through has recently gained an overdue attention, one needs to also realize that the same has been into the root of Indian practices since time immemorial.Be in habitats, traditions, or cultural representations,fundamentaly these activities directly or indirectly revolved around environment and surroundings promoting conservation and respect. What is popularly known as an 'environmental friendly' home today, has been into existence in Indian villages for years together. With and with nature, traditional habitats are seen respecting the immediate surroundings and resources even today. Similarly, some regions in India stand to be the best epitomes of green architecture equally climates (high temperatures, cold climates, heavy rainfall, and so on) the architecture, explicitly dislpays the adaptations.

Abstract: These states, for long have been complaining that having a rich forest cover has deprived them of 'developmental ' opportunities and drastically reduced their 'revenue' sources. Since majority of the land is under forest, there hardly is any land left to carry'developmental' projects. They argue that the environmental laws do not differentiate between them and the states that are brown. To compensate this anomaly, they demand a 'green bonus' from the centre.

Abstract: "In 2012-13, only two farmers in my village applied chemical fertilizers for groundnut crop. Others applied only organic manures, such as vermicompost and Nadeep compost," "Palanaik shared. Sri Palanaik is a young farmer from Kariyammanapalya village, Pavagada taluka, Tumkur district, Karnataka. Out of 110 farmers in this village, only two have applied chemical fertilizers for the crops during 2012-13. He may not be aware of GHG emissions due to production and transportation of fertilizers but is aware of the damage caused by fertilizers to the soil.

Abstract: The energy situation in Europe has reached crucial moment and its energy infrastructure is in desperate need of renewal. It is known that Europe has high energy requirements, but it has not yet attained energy self-sufficiency. While European liberal leaning leadership encourages the use of renewable energy-at precisely that time that its economics make such investments difficult-it is overshadowed by the decisions of a sometimes aggressive and unpredictable Russian foreign policy that uses energy supply as a weapon.

Abstract: Spotted Lake is a saline endorheic alkali lake located in north-west of Osoyoos in British Columbia, Canada. The incredible spots visible on the surface of the lake are a rare phenomenon caused due to the high concentration of numerous different minerals such as magnesium sulphate, calcium, and sodium sulphates, among others. These spots form in the summer season when much of the water evaporates, leaving the minerals, which harden and form walkways among the spots.

Keywords: Smart, Water, Present Day, Need
Abstract: In the present day, urban water supply and sanitation infrastructure is an important and critical area. Water resources are depleting, but cities are expanding with an ever-increasing population, creating tremendous pressure on the existing water infrastructure. For our cities to be sustainable with respect to water, efficient water and wastewater infrastructure, energy to transport and manage water, or smart water management (SWM) system as a whole will be required.
Water infrastructure are frequently neglected, yet are basic parts of energy management in urban areas, regularly involving 50 percent of an urban aggregate energy spent. Energy is the biggest manageable expense in water/wastewater processes, yet enhancing wastewater treatment plants and dissemination system has frequently been marginalized as a source of authorizing operating cost by financially destitute municipalities. Timely decisions by authorities for operation could result in 30 percent less consumption of energy and reduction of water losses by 15 per cent. There is a need to develop a system that keeps in mind the smart water concept and be able to continuously monitor water flow and distribution in city water infrastructure. Besides, this system should be accurate and efficient to aid analysis forecasting and consumption of water, respectively.

Abstract: We can readily see some of this knowledge. To employ labels, whose origin is western, these streams of knowledge and practice are called traditional knowledge, intangible cultural heritage, indigenous wisdom, folk traditions, or indigenous and local knowledge. These labels help serve as gateways to understand ideas, ‘development’ and ‘sustainable’. It is well that these labels do good for today, more conspicuously than 20 years earlier. However, there is concern for declining biodiversity, about the pace and direction of global environmental change, a concern over the unsustainable human impact on the biosphere, and the diminishing community identity.

Abstract: The invention of agriculture some 10, 000 years ago brought with it a quantum leap in human thought. It freed the population from subsistence activities and allowed individuals to specialize in particular tasks. It formed the basis for specialized division of labour and the development of organizations. The most important role in this equation was that of granary. The ability to stock food, and delink supply and demand led to an agricultural revolution and gave birth to civilization. Similarly, the need to store energy efficiently is no less than the need to store food and knowledge. The prosperity of a country is measured not only by its Gross Domestic Product (GDP), but also by its per capita energy consumption. For humans to achieve the zenith of development and advancement, while simultaneously preserving the environment for future generations, it is quintessential to connect renewable power production with advanced energy storage systems.
