International Journal of Environment and Pollution (IJEP)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Impact of land use land cover on the river water quality of Loktak catchment in Manipur, India   Order a copy of this article
    by Eliza Khwairakpam 
    Abstract: Land use in a catchment significantly affects the water quality of lakes, rivers, coastal areas and estuaries. The present research focuses on analyzing the impact of land use land cover (LULC) of Loktak sub-catchments on water quality of corresponding rivers. Among the nine main rivers in Loktak catchment, Nambul River has the lowest water quality with lowest DO, highest BOD and highest water temperature. The LULC of Nambul sub-catchment shows high coverage of agriculture, indicating high pollutant load from agricultural activities and domestic waste. On the contrary, Khuga River has lower water quality, with higher dense forests and lower agriculture coverage. The probable reason can be prominent Jhum cultivation as Khuga sub-catchment shows higher Jhum coverage. Iril and Thoubal Rivers, with higher forest areas, show better water quality. This would help stakeholders and policymakers while framing management strategies and taking necessary actions in time.
    Keywords: Loktak catchment; land use; land cover; water quality; rivers.

  • Role of action research through community based adaptation in reducing farmers livelihood vulnerability in under privileged areas of Kashmir Valley, India   Order a copy of this article
    by Imtiyaz Jhangir Khan 
    Abstract: The tribal areas of Kashmir valley happen to be the most disadvantaged regions due to their economic, social and regional specificities. The study makes an attempt at livelihood analysis and looks into concerns of sustainability and vulnerability of these communities of the area. The work was carried as a priority assignment by Division of Environmental Sciences SKUAST (K) for development of site specific crop/enterprize based on agro eco situations in the disadvantageous and inaccessible areas of J&K UT to strengthen the foundation of livelihoods for inclusive growth in such places. Numerous delicate elements exist in the region, including limited accessibility, scarce resources, fragility and low carrying capacity, susceptibility of non-farm employment, untapped niches, and migration. Using participatory rural appraisal (PRA) methodologies, the baseline data was gathered to evaluate the farming households' sources of vulnerability and their ability to support themselves for an efficient and pertinent ago-ecological based crop/enterprise.
    Keywords: PRA; enterprises; socio-economic upliftment.
