Therefore, aquifer pollution poses a critical threat to human health and the environment. Identifying the aquifer’s highly vulnerable areas to pollution is necessary to implement appropriate remedial measures, thus ensuring groundwater sustainability. This paper aims to enhance groundwater vulnerability assessment (GWVA) to manage aquifer quality effectively. The study focuses on the El Orjane Aquifer in the Moulouya basin, Morocco, which is facing significant degradation due to olive mill wastewater. Groundwater vulnerability maps (GVMs) were generated using the DRASTIC, Pesticide DRASTIC, SINTACS, and SI methods. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed improvements, 24 piezometers were installed to measure nitrate concentrations, a common indicator of groundwater contamination. This study aimed to enhance GWVA by incorporating new layers, such as land use, and adjusting parameter rates based on a comprehensive sensitivity analysis. The results demonstrate a significant increase in Pearson correlation values (PCV) between the produced GVMs and measured nitrate concentrations. For instance, the PCV for the DRASTIC method improved from 0.42 to 0.75 after adding the land use layer and adjusting parameter rates using the Wilcoxon method. These findings offer valuable insights for accurately assessing groundwater vulnerability in areas with similar hazards and hydrological conditions, particularly in semi-arid and arid regions.

The local farmers agree that crop diversification improves soil quality, but deny that it would directly influence farm competitiveness, which primarily depends on cultivation costs (such as fertilization, plant protection, and labour).

The main goal of our study was to identify the effect of external (e.g. climate changes, tectonics) and internal controls (e.g. sediment transport, deposition, vegetation cover) on the evolution of meandering rivers flowing through sedimentary basins using the example of the lower Drava River (Europe, Hungary/Croatia). Field research was conducted along a 50‐km‐long section of the valley. Sedimentary data from boreholes and corings, 35 km of ground‐penetrating radar surveys and analyses of digital maps were conducted to reconstruct channel planform changes. Traces of four meander belts were identified, and 39 AMS radiocarbon dates were used to distinguish the chronology of the fluvial events. The evolution of the lower Drava River comprised alternating periods of deposition (formation of aggrading meander belt) and avulsions. The channel belts were formed owing to upstream sediment delivery and floodplain storage. Changes in climate humidity and the occurrence of high flows influenced the planform of the meanders within particular channel belts. The oldest channel was active at least ~40 000 cal. BP before being reworked by subsequent meanders active between the Late Pleniglacial (30 000–14 700 cal. BP) and Late Glacial (~11 000 cal. BP) periods. The channel belts shifted to the south in the Holocene, between ~11 000 and 250 cal. BP due to the presence of a thrust fault situated diagonally to the Drava Valley. Results show channel width, channel belt width and the surface area of point bar deposits increased in the succeeding generations of meanders and that the style and sedimentary architecture of the channel belts were dominantly dependent on autogenic controls, that is, sediment delivery, aggradation and erosional events (e.g. formation of chute cut‐offs).}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1096-9837}, pages = {642-663}, orcid-numbers = {Słowik, Marcin/0000-0001-8376-3414; Salem, Ali/0000-0001-6176-8345; Kovács, János/0000-0001-7742-5515} } @article{MTMT:34500547, title = {Channel-reach morphometric analysis on a headwater stream in a low-mountainous region: a case study from Mecsek Hills}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34500547}, author = {Víg, Balázs and Varga, Gábor and Balogh, Richárd and Lóczy, Dénes and Nagyváradi, László and Fábián, Szabolcs Ákos}, doi = {10.15201/hungeobull.72.4.3}, journal-iso = {HUNG GEOGR BULL (2009-)}, journal = {HUNGARIAN GEOGRAPHICAL BULLETIN (2009-)}, volume = {72}, unique-id = {34500547}, issn = {2064-5031}, abstract = {Small catchments in mountainous regions affect downstream rivers as a primary source of sediment supply and also generate flash swasfloods, especially during extreme events.

Farm-level assessment shows that CDPs provide positive economic results, representing an adaptive management strategy for ecological transition, without compromising economic sustainability. Particularly, the main findings show that (1) the impact of diversification depends more on crop type than on the selected CDPs, (2) most farms exhibited a low GM with low economic impact, and (3) there is a great likelihood that the CDPs facilitate the buildup of more resilient farming systems. © 2023, The Author(s).}, keywords = {CROPPING SYSTEMS; Value chain; Cluster Analysis; Gross margin; SWOT}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1862-4057}, pages = {2691-2706}, orcid-numbers = {Lóczy, Dénes/0000-0002-2542-6775} } @article{MTMT:34197723, title = {Impact of land use types on soil moisture dynamics of loamy soils}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34197723}, author = {Maleknia, Parisa and Ugwonoh, Nelson and Czigány, Szabolcs}, doi = {10.1051/e3sconf/202343609002}, journal-iso = {E3S WEB CONF}, journal = {E3S WEB OF CONFERENCES}, volume = {436}, unique-id = {34197723}, issn = {2555-0403}, abstract = {In the last decades, drought has been a significant climate hazard in the Carpathian Basin.

Two monitoring stations were installed at each study site on the shoulder and at the toeslope positions. The study has revealed that the textural types of the study sites were silt loam, clay loam, and silt. The pasture had the most positive water balance, whereas the orchard had the most negative, especially in 2022 when trees were removed. The mean soil moisture values were 0.26, 0.21, and 0.21 for the pasture, ploughland and orchard for 10 cm, and 0.3, 0.22, and 0.22 for the pasture, ploughland and orchard for 30 cm, respectively. Moisture differences were relatively minor between the three sites, however, soil moisture dynamics were influenced by farming practices. Hence, site-specific mapping and analyses of factors responsible for efficient moisture retention are indispensable for the maximization of agricultural productivity and the optimization of the efficiency of ecosystem services.
