In this article a “well-being” degree of the water supply source of a major industrial center (Chelyabinsk, Russia) is determined in compliance with criteria of the sustainable development goal 6 “Clean water and sanitation” (SDG 6). It is demonstrated that the Shershnevskoye reservoir corresponds to the main water quality indicators recommended by the SDG 6 and is the “good-quality” water body according to the national standards for maximum permissible concentrations for drinking water use during the entire period of the reservoir existence. The dynamics of pH level, mineralization, dissolved oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and heavy metals content in the water of the reservoir for the period from 1975 to 2020 was analyzed. Stable neutral-alkaline conditions in the reservoir water were revealed; a statistically significant decrease of mineralization, increase of dissolved oxygen content and a strong trend of mineral phosphorus growth are observed, which characterizes strengthening of photosynthetic processes and increase of productivity and anthropogenic eutrophication level of the water body. The risk factor for the reservoir ecological well-being is heavy metal content, especially iron, manganese and copper.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations do not mention Fire as a key factor in achieving an environmentally-friendly human society. This paper reviews the key aspects of the impact of fire that make it necessary to update the SDGs. Upon reviewing the scientific literature, it was found that fire has been part of the Earth System for the last 400 million years, and that it is part of biogeochemical cycles. From a geological perspective, fire shaped the current Earth System. Humans have used fire in the last million years as hunter-gatherers, and the last Pleistocene period evolved with the presence of fire. Since the Neolithic revolution, humankind spread the use of fire, without which agriculture would not have progressed as it did. Fire is still used today as a tool to clear forests, scrublands and meadows in order to establish agriculture fields. To achieve the SDGs, we cannot ignore the role of fire. Fire should be present, as it is part of the geological cycle of the planet; it is part of rural culture and plays a key role in hydrological, erosional and biological cycles. We discuss the following issues related to fire in connection with the SDGs: (i) biota; (ii) soil properties; (iii) carbon cycle; (iv) sediment and water yield; (v) air and water pollution; and (vi) risk assessment. We conclude that: (i) fire is key to flora and fauna diversity; (ii) soil properties are temporally changed after exposure to fire; (iii) the carbon cycle is disturbed by fire, but the long-term impact can be a reduction in the CO2 content in the atmosphere; (iv) sediment and water yield are enhanced by forest fires, but only during the period of disturbance; (v) air and water pollution are ephemeral; and (vi) the risk associated with fire necessitates careful planning. Prescribed fires may be part of the solution, but there is a need to educate citizens on the role that fire plays. More research is necessary due to the diversity of the biomass and the complex history of fire on the planet. Fire is part of the Earth System and the SDGs should include it as a key element in their agenda.

Abstract, The criminal law policy in dealing with destructive fishing is currently primum remedium. However, in its development the criminal law policy in overcoming destructive fishing experiences several obstacles and is not yet in line with the concept of sustainable development. Considering that sustainable development is one of the principles in fisheries management, it is necessary to make adjustments between criminal law policies and sustainable development. Therefore this research aims to study and analyze the ideal criminal law policy in overcoming destructive fishing in the sustainable development regime. This research is a doctrinal law research using a statutory approach, analytical approach, conceptual approach, and case approach. The results showed that the ideal policy of criminal law in overcoming destructive fishing in sustainable development regimes is to make arrangements for sanctions actions that lead to social, economic improvement and repair damage to fish resources and their ecosystems due to destructive fishing practices. Sanctions for actions are more restorative, anticipatory, and educational so that they can reduce the degradation of fish resources and the environment. Thus, the balance between the use of fish resources and sustainable development can be realized. Keywords: Destructive Fishing, Criminal Law, Sustainable Development   Intisari, Kebijakan hukum pidana dalam penanggulangan tindak pidana destructive fishing saat ini bersifat primum remedium. Namun dalam perkembangannya kebijakan hukum pidana dalam menanggulangi destructive fishing mengalami beberapa hambatan dan belum selaras dengan konsep pembangunan berkelanjutan. Mengingat pembangunan berkelanjutan merupakan salah satu asas dalam pengelolaan perikanan, maka perlu dilakukan penyesuaian antara kebijakan hukum pidana dengan pembangunan berkelanjutan. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dan menganalisis kebijakan ideal hukum pidana dalam penanggulangan destructive fishing pada rezim pembangunan berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum doktrinal dengan menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan, pendekatan analitis, pendekatan konseptual, dan pendekatan kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan ideal hukum pidana dalam penanggulangan destructive fishing pada rezim pembangunan berkelanjutan yakni dengan melakukan pengaturan terhadap sanksi tindakan yang mengarah pada perbaikan sosial, ekonomi dan perbaikan kerusakan sumber daya ikan dan ekosistemnya akibat praktik destructive fishing. Sanksi tindakan lebih bersifat restoratif, antisipatif, dan mendidik sehingga dapat mengurangi degradasi sumber daya ikan dan lingkungan. Dengan demikian, keseimbangan antara pemanfaatan sumber daya ikan dan pembangunan berkelanjutan dapat terwujud. Kata Kunci:  Destructive Fishing, Hukum Pidana, Pembangunan Berkelanjutan

Rapid economic development has posed pressure on water resources, and the potential for a water crisis has become an important obstacle to the sustainable development of society. Water footprint theory and its applications in agriculture provide an important strategic basis for the rational utilization and sustainable development of water resources. Based on the monthly meteorological observations and agricultural data of Shandong Province, CROPWAT 8.0 and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, the green, blue and grey water footprints of wheat, maize, cotton and groundnut from 1989 to 2016 were calculated and the spatial variations of water footprints for crops in different rainfall years were analyzed. Additionally, assessment of water stress for agricultural productions was conducted in this study. The results showed that the average water footprints of wheat, maize, cotton and groundnut were 2.02 m3/kg, 1.24 m3/kg, 7.29 m3/kg and 1.75 m3/kg, respectively in Shandong Province. A large amount of the average total water footprint was calculated for wheat (420.59 × 108 m3/yr), maize (222.16 × 108 m3/yr), cotton (72.70 × 108 m3/yr) and groundnut (50.07 × 108 m3/yr). The average total water footprint of the four crops was 765.52 × 108 m3/yr (29.98% blue) and exhibited a gradual decreasing trend over time. Specifically, the total water footprint of wheat was the highest among four main crops in Shandong Province and exhibited a decreasing trend during 1989–2016. The maize was ranked in the second place, and was the only crop still increasing rapidly. The spatial and temporal changes of water footprints for crops were obvious in different rainfall years. Additionally, agricultural productions in most regions were facing the threat of water scarcity. Therefore, the scientific planning of crop planting structures and rational control of sown areas of crops with large water footprints should be implemented in severely water-scarce regions. This study can give some suggestions on the adjustment of planting structure for the sustainable development of agriculture and the realization of efficient utilization of water resources.

Current research on groundwater vulnerability is aimed mainly at groundwater pollution vulnerability (GPV), and the vulnerability of groundwater quantity is seldom considered. It is important to carry out the groundwater vulnerability evaluation for the management of groundwater resources. This paper presents evaluation models and methods for assessing groundwater quantity and pollution vulnerability. The models and methods were used to evaluate the groundwater vulnerability in the plain area of Baotou, Inner Mongolia, China. The groundwater quantity vulnerability was assessed by computing the groundwater recharge rate, and the GPV was evaluated by simulating the migration time for pollutants traveling from ground surface to the aquifer. The research results could provide scientific support for the management of regional groundwater resources, prevention and control of groundwater pollution.
