INFLUENCE OF LAND USE CHANGE ON SEDIMENT YIELD: A CASE STUDY OF THE SUB-MIDDLE OF THE SÃO Francisco River Basin

Based on the detailed survey of land use change in Shiyang river basin, referencing Costanza, and Xie et al’ research results of the value of ecosystem services, this article probed the variation of land use and value of ecosystem service in Wuwei region. The results are: from 1997 to 2006, the area of woodland, construction land and garden land are increasing, while farmland, grassland, water and unused land are continuing to decrease. Land-use intensity is gradually increasing, the land use pattern towards to a centralized style. The values of ecosystem services are overall upward, and change faster than ever. The main part of the value of ecosystem service is constituted by the value of grassland, woodland and farmland. So it’s important to control the expansion of urban construction, strength the protection of the water, restore and enhance regional ecosystem services in the future.

Transport Modes

With the beginning of unconventional exploration and exploitation of natural gas in Brazil, the question of how to transport the product is concerned. Being the transport an essential part to supply energy to consumers, to move towards energy efficiency one should seek sustainability in the logistic process from the production until delivery at final destination. The objective of this study is the regional assessment of two transport modes for natural gas: by pipeline or as secondary energy in the form of electricity. Since society no longer accepts development at any cost, to determine the best mode of transport three other factors have been added to the techno-economic factor, which are environmental and social impacts, and political risks, defining specific methods to internalize externalities. The full cost analysis considers the four factors under a balanced importance degree for planning towards sustainability. A case study deals with the energy transport (natural gas and electricity) to meet consumer markets in the state of Minas Gerais, between exploratory gas fields at Sao Francisco river basin. The research method employs the most relevant elements of analysis within the four dimensions, assigning specific valuations according to transport mode particularities and providing the best product transportation mode. To attend the region demand for energy, full cost analysis points to energy transport in the form of electricity as the best alternative.
