The
source of the freshwater are considered as the major component for the services
of the ecosystem due to which all economic and social process and life can be
sustain. The health of the ecological system can threaten by their disruption.
Their disruption can be threaten the general human wellbeing and the people
livelihoods. Although, the resources of the water are going to be degraded with
the passage of time in the Sultanate of the Oman. It occurs due to the multiple
interacting pressure specifically climate and environmental changes. The fifth and forth report of the
Intergovernmental Panel related to the climate change considered as the
important for the understanding of the same impacts of the climate change on
natural system an human society. The
water is referred as the key component for the storm of the climate management.
From anthropogenic climate change the various possible extortions are resulted.
It includes shifting of climate zones,
floods, extreme weather events, sea level rise, droughts and increase in
temperature.
Over
the last two decades the temperature of the earth surface has been increased by
0.5°C. It has been rises along with same amplitude that is expected till 2025.
The global hydrological cycle is effecting by it directly. The demand and
availability of the water is also effecting by it. The availability of the
water is impacting negatively by it as well as it have negative impacts on the
freshwater ecosystems health. It have
negative significances with the ecological and social system along with its
processes. Such as the global mean temperature is rise approximately by 2 °C. To irrigation water shortage o irrigation
water shortage around 59% of the total world will be exposed (Al-Kalbani, 2014). Furthermore, the impacts of the
climate change and the several other indicators of the environmental changes as
economic development, urbanization, demographic trends and the other changes of
the land use that are increasing demand and exerting pressure for the resources
of the water. In the last evolutionary past the water resources are stressing
by all of these drivers away from the changes that are caused by the natural
climatic global changes. In the result of the fast growth of the economic
development and population, water resources mismanagement. The pressure is
exerted by these drivers on the water resources and it is both are changing by
it as temporally and spatially. It
because of the imbalances among the demand and supply in the system of the
hydrological. The vulnerability of the systems of the water resources can be
increase due to the net effects. Such type of the infrastructure are
particularly weak fort such changes due to their adapted limited capacity that
is require to creating the major challenges for managing the future water
resources for the needs of the ecosystem and human.
In
order to enhance capacity of management it is required to measure the
vulnerability of water resources and the scales are adopted to managing all of
these changes for management and sustainability of the water resources.
Vulnerability is referred as the term that is commonly sued for describing the
flaw or weakness in the infrastructure. It also explained the weakness for the
particular threats and harmful events. It requires a lot of efforts for using
the concepts across the various fields that various specific sectors at often
location. The concepts of the vulnerability is defined as the function that is
required for the sensitivity and exposure of the system for the hazard of the
climate and it is also referred as the ability to adapting the effects of the
hazards(Al-Kalbani, 2014).
The
municipal sewage are receiving primarily for the wastewater treatment plants.
The adequate eagerly usable carbon source are offered by the influent water
rarely for BNR (biological nutrient removal). It has been shown by the several
studies that the denitrification and removal of the biological phosphorus is
depending upon the sufficient supply of eagerly biodegradable chemical such as
the in the feed of the wastewater the oxygen is demanded.
Moreover,
during wintertime VFA (volatile fatty acids) availability is considered as the
primary limiting factors that can enhance the removal of the biological
phosphorus. Those area at where seasonal temperature becomes significant in
that area the lack of carbon is occur in the wintertime. The quality of the
waste water is influencing by the various kinds of the transformation that is
usually takes place in the network of the sewer. Biological oxidation and hydrolysis will
favor by the Aerobic conditions for biodegradable organic material meanwhile
for the production of the VFA the sewer network‘s anaerobic parts of would be
complimentary for various sitiuations.
In
the conditions of the aerobic the nitrification can be occur in the large
catchments. For adding the nitrate in the sewer network denitrification and
Anoxic conditions is considered very rare after the addition of the nitrate it
becomes important. In the sewers network the denitrification is also possible
and it has observed that rates of the nitrate is up taking in the biofilm due
to the increase with the repeated exposure for nitrate.
In
the gravity the conditions of the sewers can remain aerobics that is owing for
the reaeration, in the sewers the controlled the dissolved concentrations have
strong variation that is significantly depending on the temperature. Due to the
composition of the wastewater and its natural variability and the process of the
transportation of the bulk water is difficult for predicting even in the
conditions of the dry water. In the bulk water, sediments, gas phases and
biofilm are more difficult to predict even in the dry weather conditions. The catchments are going to be larger and
the weather concern are also raised due to the biodegradable material could and
the sewer reactions can be consumed in the sewers (A. M. K.
Mikola, 2011).
