<p>Teluk Prigi merupakan perairan di pesisir Samudera Hindia yang dikelilingi oleh bentang alam tebing yang tinggi sehingga wilayah pesisir yang memiliki kondisi dinamis dapat mengakibatkan terjadinya perubahan garis pantai apabila tidak dikelola dengan baik. Maka dari itu pada penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor oseanografi yang menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan garis pantai. Metode yang digunakan terdiri dari pemisahan arus, peramalan gelombang, gelombang pecah, energi gelombang dan refraksi gelombang dengan menggunakan metode menurut <em>Coastal Engineering Research Center </em>(CERC). Selain itu ekstraksi garis pantai dengan metode <em>NDWI (Normal Differential Water Index)</em>, dan analisis jenis sedimen menggunakan modul yang dikeluarkan oleh Pusjatan Balitbang PU. Faktor oseanografi yang dominan menjadi penyebab perubahan garis pantai adalah gelombang bangkitan angin yang pola gelombangnya mengalami perubahan arah yang cenderung tegak lurus pantai, selain itu arus pasang surut menjadi faktor pendukung dengan kecepatan 0,0037 m/s bergerak menuju Utara. Sehingga, kondisi garis pantai pada tahun 2003 dan 2014, 2014 dan 2018 luasan sedimentasi terbesar mencapai 28.949 m<sup>2</sup> dan 52.020 m<sup>2</sup> yang berada di Desa Prigi. Sedangkan Sedangkan lokasi abrasi pada tahun 2003 dan 2014, 2014 dan 2018 luasnya mencapai 4.204 m<sup>2</sup> dan 3.326 m<sup>2</sup>.</p>

The low level of water in rivers in Iraq leads to poor water quality, on that basis; we need to assess Iraq's water resources for uses of irrigation and drinking water. This study present a model accounts for ground water quality by using a water quality index (WQI) for the region defined between the city of Kut and the city of Badra in Wasit province. this study relies on a system of wells set up along the path through the Badra –Kut  and around it  up to 78 wells. The study showed poor quality of ground water in the region of study and it is unsuitability for irrigation and drinking water, as well as provided a solution to the water accumulated in the Shuwayja to reduce the bad effect on groundwater by using a system of branch and collection canals  then pumping at the effluent  of Al  Shuwayja in seasons of rainy season ..Water quality index calculated depend on the basis of various physic-chemical parameters as PH, Ec , TDS, TSS, Nacl , SO4 ,Na , and  Mg. The resultant and analytical are present with use of Arch GIS program – geostastical analysis for the water index and water quality parameters

Yavatmal is one of the drought prone districts in Maharashtra state of India and has witnessed an agricultural crisis to the extent that hundreds of its farmers have committed suicides in recent years. Satellite data based products have previously been used globally for monitoring and predicting of drought, but not for monitoring their extreme impacts that may include farmer-suicides. In this study, the performance of the Soil Water Index (SWI) derived from the surface soil moisture estimated by the European Space Agency’s Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) is assessed. Using the 2007-2015 data, it was found that the relationship of the SWI anomaly was bit stronger (coefficient. of correlation = 0.59) with the meteorological drought or precipitation than with the agricultural drought or crop yields of major crops (coefficient. of correlation = 0.50).  The farmer-suicide rate was better correlated with the SWI anomaly averaged annually than with the SWI anomaly averaged only for the monsoon months (June, July, August, and September). The correlation between the SWI averaged annually increased to 0.89 when the averages were taken for three years, with the highest correlation occurring between the suicide rate and the SWI anomaly averaged for three years. However, a positive relationship between SWI and the suicide rate indicated that drought was not a major factor responsible for suicide occurrence and other possible factors responsible for suicide occurrence need to examine in detail.
