Leveraging IoT for Real-Time Disaster Management: Enhancing Preparedness and Response Through Smart Monitoring
Abstract: Natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes, and wildfires, pose risks to human life, infrastructure, and the environment. Many of the technological innovations are there, but in managing such disasters, there still is room for inefficiencies resulting from communication delay, unavailability of real-time data, and poor coordination at times. The inefficiencies lead to response times that are too long, inappropriate allocation of resources, and increased vulnerability to the impacts of disasters. Integration …

Investigating the Influence of Changing Climate Patterns on Seasonal Water Availability Within Transboundary River Systems
Abstract: Climate change is significantly altering hydrological systems, particularly in transboundary river basins, which are crucial for regional economies, ecosystems, and human well-being. Variations in precipitation patterns, temperature fluctuations, and altered snowmelt are increasing the unpredictability of seasonal water availability, intensifying risks of both water scarcity and flooding. These shifts pose severe challenges to water management, often leading to disputes and complicating regional cooperation among riparian nations. This study investigates the …

Mud Acid Effect on Fines Migration Problem Using a Newly Developed Al/Zr-Based Clay Stabilizer (A): Mitigation Can Happen
Abstract: Sandstone reservoirs exhibit severe fines migration problems subsequent to conventional mud acid (HCl: HF) treatments. The acid treatment proved to be effective for a relatively short period of time, with a sudden production decline owing to either that mud acid spent rapidly in close proximity to the wellbore, causing clays to migrate into the acidized area and re-plug the formation; or that the mud acid system actually weakens the structure …
