Water is indispensable for human survival. Freshwater scarcity and unsustainable water are the main growing concerns in the world. It is estimated that about 800 million people worldwide do not have basic access to drinking water and about 2.2 billion people do not have access to safe water supply. Southeast Asia is most likely to experience water...
Article
Human population is projected to reach 9.7 billion in 2050 and strike 11.2 billion by 2100. Residence shift from countryside to cities will occur and the human population resides in the cities is envisaged to rise from 55% to 68%. Vertical farming was proposed to address food insecurity caused by overcrowded population and farmland shortages. The c...

... Much of the research on wind energy production and its temporal variability has focused on short-term variability, ranging from minutes to days. 4,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] There is a scarcity of research addressing the seasonal variability throughout the year and even fewer studies investigating interannual, decadal, and possibly multi-decadal variability. This implies a gap in the literature concerning the longer-term trends and patterns in wind energy production. ...
