This study was conducted in the Geleda watershed of the Blue Nile basin in the northwestern highlands of Ethiopia to measure erosion rates and map out erosion risks for prioritization of conservation measures.
The authors suggest short-, medium- and long-term measures for the reduction of pharmaceuticals in the environment, with a clear prioritization of preventive measures.
The first type concerns the evaluation of policy measures with respect to policies, providing answer to the question 'which policy measure is more efficient for which policy', and leading to the prioritization of policy measures, based on their performance with regard to the different policies.
In general, results show that the relevance of the weighting set in the prioritization of the measures appears to be limited.
Our results suggest that monitoring and prevention of road construction within protected areas, using logging concessions as buffers of protected areas and geographical prioritization of control measures in illegal logging hotspots would be more effective for conservation than reliance on protected areas alone, especially under food price increasing scenarios.
Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze erosion risks across the landscape for prioritization of conservation measures in the study watershed.
The status of increasing disaster risk in Brunei is perceived here as the result of a poor diagnosis of the country's disaster condition, which has led to the prioritization of structural measures for flood loss reduction.
Future research is required to compare the influences of each factor responsible for within-herd transmission and to facilitate more rational prioritization of control measures.
In relation with general health goals of a district, concretisation and prioritization of infrastructural measures is facilitated (for example, 'improve rain water harvesting potential and its utilization at health centres in region X' or 'improve availability and functioning of basic sterilization equipment in dispensaries of Y district').
A comprehensive assessment of fire ignition danger is nowadays a basic step towards the prioritization of fire management measures.
