The FAO-56 is the most popular method for computing crop evapotranspiration. There is, however, a need for locally derived crop coefficients (Kc) with a high temporal resolution to reduce errors in the water balance. The aim of this paper is to introduce a dynamic Kc approach, based on Leaf Area Index (LAI) observations, for improving water balance computations. Soil moisture and meteorological data were collected in a terraced nectarine (Prunus persica var. nucipersica) orchard in Cyprus, from 22 March 2019 to 18 November 2021. The Kc was derived as a function of the canopy cover fraction ©, from biweekly in situ LAI measurements. The use of a dynamic Kc resulted in Kc estimates with a bias of 17 mm and a mean absolute error of 0.8 mm. Evapotranspiration (ET) ranged from 41% of the rainfall (P) and irrigation (I) in the wet year (2019) to 57% of P + I in the dry year (2021). Drainage losses from irrigation (DR_I) were 44% of the total irrigation. The irrigation efficiency in the nectarine field could be improved by reducing irrigation amounts and increasing the irrigation frequency. Future studies should focus on improving the dynamic Kc approach by linking LAI field observations with remote sensing observations and by adding ground cover observations.} }

Root mean square error (RMSE), Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), coefficient of determination (R2), and the Developed Discrepancy Ratio (DDR) metrics were utilized to MLMs' performance assessment. The performance evaluation indices (RMSE, MAEP, R2, DDR) for the preeminent MLNN model applied to Bulakhbashi and Karasu stations were determined as (0.29, 1.57, 0.9998, 17.62) and (1.71, 6.56, 0.9980, 6.65), respectively. The MLNN model contributed to a notable enhancement in the RMSE performance index for the aforementioned stations, exhibiting improvements of 87% and 56%, respectively. These results affirm the MLNN's proficiency in accurately capturing the stage-discharge at both monitoring stations.} }

Mountain environments represent key areas for the regional water balance. In this study, the isotope profile method was used to investigate water fluxes through the vadose zone and subsequent groundwater recharge in a Mediterranean mountain environment. Six high-resolution soil water isotope profiles were taken at two different locations in the Troodos Massif (Cyprus) in the eastern Mediterranean, focusing on estimating recharge in the soil of hillslopes. Analysis of the isotope profiles yielded recharge rates ranging from 30–70 mm/year, leading to a re-evaluation of previous studies on groundwater recharge. The comparison of results obtained by the peak-shift method and mathematical modeling was used to partition matrix and macropore flow, reaching up to 39 %. Potential methodological limits of the environmental isotope profile method in skeleton-rich soils were found.} }

In response to the pressing need for effective remediation and monitoring of contaminated matrices in the Niger Delta, this study delves into a comprehensive analysis. Through a systematic assessment considering certain criteria, advanced remediation technologies tailored to the specific environmental challenges in the region are identified. Organoclay-based reactive core materials (RCM), permeable reactive barriers (PRBs), and bioremediation have emerged as highly suitable solutions for remediating sediment, groundwater, and soil, respectively. These technologies span the spectrum from non-intrusive to less intrusive methods and have demonstrated exceptional efficacy in mitigating hydrocarbon contamination under the delta's prevailing complex conditions. In addressing the critical need for monitoring the progress of remediation and post-remediation stages, a fully integrated approach is proposed. This strategy combines three essential components for tracking environmental quality improvements and understanding the recovery processes: traditional total chemical concentration (Ctotal) estimates, passive sampler-derived freely dissolved chemical concentration (Cfree) measurements, and ecological monitoring, specifically the recolonization test. Together, these components provide a more accurate description of risk and a comprehensive understanding of the recovery process. This study is concentrated on the systematic selection, supported by credible case study information, of tailored technical solutions for addressing the unique challenges of the Niger Delta. The novel outcomes lie in the identification of technology solutions carefully adapted for the region, representing a significant advancement in the field of environmental remediation in the Niger Delta. Science-based remediation and monitoring are key, and this study offers a decision support tool for selecting optimal methods in the ongoing cleanup of the Niger Delta and similar areas. This supports a healthier, more resilient environment for both the region's inhabitants and ecosystems.} }
