Water ecosystem services are benefits obtained from natural processes held by terrestrial vegetation in relation to hydrologic systems. These benefits have implications for human wellbeing through the mitigation of flood risk, management of stormwater runoff, and removal of pollutants from water systems that ultimately supply drinking and irrigation water. Assessing national and regional stocks of these important ecosystem services is crucial for the sustainable development of the land and for conservation purposes. In this study, we applied three models from the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) tool to map the production of flash-flood risk mitigation, stormwater retention, and nitrogen retention. Our findings were consistent with impact assessments on local communities. Through the three ecosystem services mapped, we demonstrated the role of existing terrestrial vegetation in processing hydrologic systems in the Republic of Ecuador. The results from this modeling also provided insights into potential planning pathways for future management using the InVEST software.

The main river in Beijing is the Yongding River. Nevertheless, According to the environmental contamination induced by economic growth, the environment of water, and the shore of the Yongding River are in danger of destruction. The Yongding River ecological repair is crucial. Phytoremediation and microbial remediation have constructed specific accomplishments in the contamination management aspect of river, while both have some advantages and some disadvantages. Using in the best way of the related advantages relies on the collocation and composition of microbes and plants. According to the search domain and past literature, we have presented the procedure of plant microbe-associated bioremediation for restoring the environment of the water and removing heavy metal contamination in the soil of the Yongding River. This study presents novel concepts and procedures for repairing the Yongding River ecologic environment.

A variety of experiments have shown that water can occur as a liquid of high and low density, with various physical characteristics, as the product of two kinds of hydrogen association between H20 molecules. This is essential intracellular, since solutes may favor a water type or other, creates local gradients of different waters behaviors which, due to volume restrictions, cannot be balanced by the flux but can be balanced by a shift between water shapes. It is quite probable that the developmental powers have manipulated this extraordinary water capacity, contributing to mutualism among adjacent H2O molecules and macromolecules. A consequence is a spectrum of substrate unique enzyme with macromolecular hydration, which enhances the catalysis, and hydrated by the more favorable ones of the two water configurations. Moreover, owing to selective isolation of enzyme reaction components, the variations in the water structure of low /high density purvey the pathway for protein folding; a basic requirement for enzyme functions without neglecting thermodynamics.
