Sustainable development of the territory is impossible without balanced processes of anthropogenic human activity and rational use of natural resources. The problem of sufficiency and quality of water resources is relevant for the city of Belgorod. For 2021, the Belgorod region is limited by the resources of local surface and underground wastewater, with a fairly high level of municipal, agricultural and industrial consumers. The relevance of this work also lies in the increase in anthropogenic load on the natural framework, which entails a significant deterioration in the quality of surface and groundwater. In this regard, urban planning conflicts arise, which have an impact on the development of the city territory and the quality of the living environment. The research examines urban planning conflicts in the use of water resources in Belgorod. The causes of urban planning conflicts in relation to riverine territories and available water resources have been identified. The identified regulatory, property, land use, transport, social and functional urban planning conflicts are classified according to the hierarchical level, by duration, by the method of occurrence, by type of location, by the nature of manifestation. The introduction of water-saving design into the urban planning practice of the city of Belgorod is justified.

The method of assessing the impact of factors of diff erent nature on the components of the city’s living environment that determine favorable living conditions and the well-being of the population is considered. It is statistically established that the variety of factors should be taken into account when assessing and normalizing the combination of multifactorial impacts on demographic and social processes occurring in the urban environment. Combinations of the most signifi cant interacting factors and statistical models based on them can be taken into account when predicting the level of morbidity, the dynamics of migration processes, the family well-being of the population, and others. The developed models and assessment methodology can serve as a tool to support management decision-making to ensure a high level of quality of life of the population and urban development of residential areas.

<p>A água é um dos recursos naturais mais preciosos e é indispensável à manutenção da vida. Conhecer a quantidade e a qualidade dos recursos hídricos do país é pressuposto para definição de estratégias que busquem a sua conservação, recuperação e o seu uso racional é meta imprescindível para toda a sociedade. Sabe-se que a<strong> </strong>ocupação e o uso do solo alteram os processos físicos, químicos e biológicos dos recursos hídricos. Não obstante ser o país mais bem aquinhoado em termos percentuais de água doce, sua distribuição geográfica é bastante irregular no Brasil. Regiões como o semiárido nordestino e o Vale do Jequitinhonha mineiro, historicamente enfrentam problemas relacionados à falta d’água. Nos últimos anos essa situação tem piorado, em termos de quantidade e qualidade. Assim, a proposta deste trabalho consiste na avaliação da qualidade das águas superficiais da sub-bacia do rio Capivari no município de Chapada do Norte, Alto Jequitinhonha, nordeste de Minas Gerais.

Much of the earth’s surface is covered by water. As was pointed out in the 2020 edition of the World Water Development Report, climate change challenges the sustainability of global water resources, so it is important to monitor the quality of water to preserve sustainable water resources. Quality of water can be related to the structure of water crystal, the solid-state of water, so methods to understand water crystals can help to improve water quality. As a first step, a water crystal exploratory analysis has been initiated with the cooperation with the Emoto Peace Project (EPP). The 5K EPP dataset has been created as the first world-wide small dataset of water crystals. Our research focused on reducing the inherent limitations when fitting machine learning models to the 5K EPP dataset. One major result is the classification of water crystals and how to split our small dataset into several related groups. Using the 5K EPP dataset of human observations and past research on snow crystal classification, we created a simple set of visual labels to identify water crystal shapes, in 13 categories. A deep learning-based method has been used to automatically do the classification task with a subset of the label dataset. The classification achieved high accuracy when using a fine-tuning technique.

The study reveals the aspects that defi ne the concept of “lifestyle”, including the main categories: standard of living, lifestyle, quality of life and lifestyle. Insuffi cient knowledge of the mutual infl uence of people’s “lifestyle” on the typological structure of apartments and residential buildings, on the quality of the urban environment is emphasized. The infl uence of the level of urbanization of the city territory on the characteristics of the “urban lifestyle” is considered. Problematic issues are raised related to the debate on the relationship between building density and comfort and the quality index of the living environment. The main directions of fundamental research in the fi eld of architecture, aimed at the development of new types of buildings, are touched upon. The emphasis is made on the methods of using high-rise buildings for the humanization of the urban environment and the formation of a modern “compact city”.

Introduction: Safe water is a precondition for health and development and is a basic human right, yet it is still denied to hundreds of millions of people throughout the developing world. Water-related diseases caused by insufficient safe water supplies, coupled with poor sanitation and hygiene, cause 3.4 million deaths a year, mostly in children. Methodology: The present study was conducted on 1,317 drinking water samples from various water sources in Amritsar district in northern India. All the samples were analyzed to assess bacteriological quality of water for presumptive coliform count by the multiple tube test. Results: A total of 42.9% (565/1,317) samples from various sources were found to be unfit for human consumption. Of the total 565 unsatisfactory samples, 253 were from submersible pumps, 197 were from taps of piped supply (domestic/public), 79 were from hand pumps, and 36 were from various other sources A significantly high level of contamination was observed in samples collected from submersible pumps (47.6%) and water tanks (47.3%), as these sources of water are more exposed and liable to contamination. Conclusions: Despite continuous efforts by the government, civil society, and the international community, over a billion people still do not have access to improved water resources. Bacteriological assessment of all sources of drinking should be planned and conducted on regular basis to prevent waterborne dissemination of diseases.

Ambos Nogales

This article aims to analyze some basic criteria for a sustainable use of water in an international watershed shared by Mexico and the United States. The study area comprises the region of Ambos Nogales, which is located inside the Upper Santa Cruz River Basin. This portion of the watershed represents the main ecosystem and the main source of water for urban and rural populations located in this region. Following criteria of sustainability the authors revise and adapt to the case of Ambos Nogales, a set of guidelines proposed by the Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment, and Security. These guidelines include the following elements: basic water requirements needed to maintain quality of life in the population and the health of ecosystems; water quality that meets certain minimum standards; human actions and their impact on long-term renewability of freshwater stocks and flows; collection of data concerning water resources, use and quality of water; institutional mechanisms to prevent and resolve conflicts; and a democratic process of water-planning and decision-making. These twin cities have a long history of cooperation and conflict linked to water resources, which makes available enough information to create a diagnostic about the water management inside a binational arena, and allowing to explore possibilities for a better water resources management under a sustainable regime and from an international perspective. Keywords: Sustainability, binational water management, ambos Nogales region.
