The effects of climate change are affecting agriculture in many areas through changing weather, such as unexpected temperature swings and changes in rainfall that threaten food supplies and rural life. Western Romania has its own weather problems, such as long droughts mixed with unpredictable rains, and generally these conditions are starting to slow down agricultural production, which means farmers need to rethink the way they farm. When rains stop being reliable, groundwater can act as a buffer; it helps to kee...

The work aims to acquire LiDAR data and checking the scan quality in QC Tools for Sanmihaiu Roman hydro technical arrangement located on the Bega Canal, Timis County, Romania, using mobile scanning technology MMS - Mobile Mapping System, using portable backpack equipment from Swiss manufacturer Leica, the Pegasus Backpack model. The Method of LiDAR Data Collection is a Fused Slam one, where, a Master Station has been located for the purchase of RiNEX data, using some GNSS receiver, the Leica GS 08. The raw data pr...

In the context of global climate change, groundwater is not only a vital source for human survival, but also a strategic resource for the sustainable development of local and global economies. The protection and effective management of these resources must be top priorities for everyone involved in environmental planning and management. The purpose of this work is to monitor the quality of groundwater from two water drillings located in the south of Timisoara and four water drillings in the west of the locality. T...

Water pollution and climate change are two of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time, and their interconnection is increasingly evident. Water pollution and climate change are interconnected in various ways. The release of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, is a significant driver of global warming. These gases contribute to the greenhouse effect, leading to rising global temperatures, which, in turn, affect water resources. Warmer temperatures exacerbate water ...

Using aerial vehicles without pilot (UAV-unmanned aerial vehicle) or Drone has seen a rapid development, over the last decade, in order to obtain spatial information of the Earth's surface. This scientific paper was realized for the Hydrotechnical Node of Costei, from Timis County and has as purpose the processing of aerial images, obtained from a Phantom4 Pro device, which is capable to capture video at 4K resolution at 30 frames per second and Full HD 1080p at 120 frames per second for a slow motion with a Sony ...

The climate change facing humanity requires two major and immediate solutions: the need to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions on the one hand, and on the other hand the need to adapt to the effects of climate change, given that these effects are already visible and unavoidable due to the inertia of the climate system. Romania is vulnerable to a number of natural climate and geological dangers: floods, droughts, extreme temperatures, the western part of the country registering over time some devastating fl...

Promoting sustainable use of groundwater based on reducing pollution and on preventing later pollution is a basic desideratum of the Water Law No. 107/1996 with later additions and alterations and of the Directive 60/2000/EC in the field of water issued by the European Parliament. Water resources are a source of normal economic development: they ensure nature balance and life continuity and this is why we need to rationally use them during both normal and crisis periods (e.g., drought). Ground waters are an ecolog...
