Сравнение пылеудерживающей способности лиственных и хвойных пород города Ташкент, Узбекистан

Year: 2022

Collections: Scientific Publications

Topics: Climate

Authors: Митусов А., Зейберт Е. А., Акиншина Н. Г.

Countries: Uzbekistan

Source: Central Asian Journal of Water Research

Целью исследования является изучение пылеудерживающей способности кроны деревьев и определение возможности использования этого параметра для оценки запыленности воздуха разных зон города. Показатель пылеудерживающей способности выражен в массе пыли, которую может удержать единица площади зеленой массы деревьев.

Management interventions to increase water use efficiency in the irrigation sector of Central Asia were introduced but a scientific control instrument is still missing - The online tool WUEMoCA provides relevant irrigation performance indicators in the Aral Sea Basin from satellite data in combination with additional sources - WUEMoCA-based analysis of water security and water use efficiency showed: o 11 out of 33 provinces in the Aral Sea Basin were below the critical level to supply crop water demands for more than 5 years in 2000-2018. o Irrigation water use efficiency is very low in general (55%-60%) and scientific data hints at missing or failing water management interventions in the Amu Darya and Zarafshan basins. - WUEMoCA can strategically supplement the ongoing digitization efforts of the countries in the water sector. - By utilizing WUEMoCA-like tools, Central Asian governments and water management bodies will have new platforms for steering and assessing current and future strategic interventions in regional water management.
