Abstract

The rural region known as "Valles Cruceos" is crucial to the supply of food and other resources to the fast-growing neighboring city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia). The region, like many other rural areas in South and Central America, is experiencing progressive and severe environmental degradation as a result of the growing demand for its natural resources. In this circumstance, sound policies and governance for sustainable land management are ineffective and unsupported by data and research findings. With this study, we want to create a novel and useful integrated hazard analysis method that will help understand hazard patterns based on evidence and inform risk assessment processes across the urban-rural continuum.

Introduction

When calculating the risk of multiple hazards, these two methods are frequently utilized. However, the exceedance probabilities of losses and the joint probabilities of hazard occurrence are not taken into account. As a result, these two methods are typically qualitative or semi-quantitative in nature and their findings can only be used to compare risks at the regional level. carried out a quantitative risk assessment of a number of potential dangers that could result in the loss of crops as a result of wind and rain to determine the absolute risk. They determined the hazards' joint return period and vulnerability surface in the Yangtze River Delta region. The Copula method, which can be used to calculate the joint return period for more than two hazards, was used to obtain the hazards' rainfall and wind joint return periods. Due to a lack of data on disaster losses, the vulnerability curve is difficult to obtain and the calculation process is extremely complicated [1,2].

Discussion

Used an information diffusion approach to carry out a risk assessment of casualties caused simultaneously by floods and typhoons at the sub-provincial level in the Yangtze River Delta region. Using the information diffusion method, the risks of building collapse, crop losses and direct economic losses resulting from typhoons and floods at the county level in the same region were also evaluated. Evaluated the risks posed jointly by floods and typhoons in the Yangtze River Delta region on the county and 1 km x 1 km grid scales. Information diffusion does not require as much historical loss data as the Copula method does. However, it should be noted that the majority of these studies only considered two distinct dangers. Quantitative risk assessments for more than two hazards have not been done.

The most landfills per square mile in the United States surround the development, which was built on an abandoned waste site. For a number of years, residents have voiced their concerns, including those regarding soil contamination, which many people use for local gardening. Over 3.5 million pounds of toxic waste were released by the region's facilities in 2011, accounting for almost 30% of all toxic releases in Cook County, Illinois. Because excessive irrigation weakens the strain in deep layers, non-clayey soils can also experience landslides. Due to increased pore pressure, soils can undergo localized strain softening and liquefaction at the base of the loess layer when groundwater levels rise as a result of intensive irrigation (such as rice irrigation). During earthquakes, the liquefaction of basal layers in areas where intensive irrigation causes groundwater levels to rise can even cause landslides in sandy soils with excellent drainage and low slopes.

Terrace cultivation systems make extensive use of these fertile areas, but crops' root systems are less effective than those of forests and meadows. In addition, research reveals that upland rice cultivation systems, which are utilized in landslide-prone regions of Africa and Southeast Asia, still carry a high risk of landslides due to the timing of harvest and the soils' inability to withstand heavy rainfall from tilling practices. The remediation and restoration of contaminated sites as well as the revitalization of communities associated with these sites can be affected by natural hazards, which can be prominent and potent mechanisms. Following a natural disaster, the potential for hazardous material releases can exacerbate the impact of contaminated sites by preventing the restoration of the site and altering the long-term, sustainable revitalization of communities nearby [3].

higher death rate in countries with a low socio-demographic index value following high impact hazard events is evidence that vulnerable socioeconomic populations are typically the most adversely affected. In recent years, the use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in environmental remediation gained increasing attention. ENMs have the potential to efficiently and more effectively remove pollutants from environmental matrices than conventional methods due to their large surface area and high reactivity. However, their fate and safety following application in the environment, which may be connected to their release into the environment, are largely unknown. The development of systems that are capable of anticipating ENM interactions with biological systems and their overall impact on the environment and human health is crucial. Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools have been used to investigate ENMs' potential impact on the environment up until this point, from the creation of raw materials to their final disposal. However, the environmental impact of in-place employment was not included in the LCA studies, which instead focused on the production phase's impact [4].

The majority of the time, sewage sludge has higher antibiotic concentrations than sediment; the first is in the range g/g. Probably because of how well sewage sludge can absorb antibiotics. It was discovered that the majority of antibiotics in sewage sludge were TCs and FQs; TC and OFL were found in concentrations of up to 1,650 and 5,800 ng/g, respectively, indicating that TCs and FQs are mostly removed from wastewater through adsorption onto sludge. In a similar vein, it was observed that another FQ, CIP, had a concentration of up to 4,625 ng/g when adsorbed to sludge. Biosolids have been used in agriculture as soil conditioners and typically come from treated sewage sludge [5].

Conclusion

Hazard maps were created by utilizing a variety of environmental hazards indicators and concentrating on the threats that were primarily perceived by the region's residents, such as deforestation, water pollution and changes in precipitation. After a pair-wise comparison, a GIS environment was used to create an integrated hazard map. The proposed method can be scaled up for integrated environmental hazards analysis in similar regions of Latin America and the maps serve as a first baseline for the analysis of the current state of natural resources in the "Valles Cruceos" area.
