Peatlands can store more carbon than all the forest of the World

Most people attribute rainforests as the biggest natural carbon sink.

But there’s another equally important, often overlooked type of natural carbon sink which is known as peatlands.

“Peatland is a terrestrial wetland ecosystem in which the production of organic matter exceeds its decomposition and a net accumulation of peat results.”..Click here to read more about Peatland.

These peatlands can conserve biodiversity, purify water and reduce flooding and soil erosion, good for planting certain crops, such as potatoes and carrots.

During the mapping of global peatlands, it can be found that there is more data for the northern hemisphere compared to the southern hemisphere and the tropics. High-quality peatland extent data are only available for a small selection of countries and regions, including Canada, Sweden, and West Siberia.

1 “Flood peaks in Mid-Atlantic U.S. watersheds show a V-shaped response to urbanization: they decrease at low urban development (below 10% PDAW), then rise sharply as urbanization increases further due to complex climate-landscape interactions. A neural network model confirmed this nonlinear behavior, underscoring the need to consider more than just urban area when predicting flood risk.”…..Hua et.al.(2025).

ANN’s superior accuracy highlights its suitability for operational streamflow forecasts in this region.ANN models using lagged climate indices significantly outperformed ARIMA models for forecasting streamflow at Victoria’s stations, especially at Acheron where the ANN achieved Pearson R = 0.90,...

Five most innovative and sustainable water bottles

Cover Feature: Five most innovative water bottles selected by ODM V2 Five most innovative water bottles Water bottles are now becoming smart. Recently launched water bottles have the capability to track your hydration level and can remind you to drink water when the hydration level is below a predefined level. Some water bottles can either increase or decrease the temperature of the water in the container. Some alternatives come with blue tooth speaker/stirrer/fuser/wifi etc electronic devices. Some variation of smart water bottles has the ability to self-purify when needed. Here in this feature, we try to find the most innovative smart water bottles that are available on the eCommerce sites with the help of ODM. Now let us continue with the regular features : News about Sustainability Audi e-tron's used batteries in e-rickshaws by Nunam A new study finds inactive yeast could be effective as an inexpensive, abundant, and simple material for removing lead contamination from drinking...

Five project ideas for "Hydroinformatics in Groundwater"

In recent years, advanced soft computation techniques such as Multi-Criteria Decision Making and Geographical Information Systems have been widely used to solve water resource development problems. Hydroinformatics (Hydro means Hydrus or water, and informatics means information science) is a branch of science concerned with the application of advanced soft computation techniques and information and communication technologies (ICTs) to water-related problems. The following are five hydro informatics project topics that can be applied to groundwater problems.
