Abstract: The world is facing the depletion of natural fuels such as coal and natural gas for electricity generation and the increasing demand for electricity. In this situation, everyone is looking for unconventional, renewable energy resources such as solar and wind energy, etc. The Earth receives solar energy in the form of solar radiation, which contains ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiation. The amount of solar radiation that reaches any location depends on several factors such as geographical location, time of day, season, volume of land, and local time. The Republic of Serbia, compared to other European countries, has an average of 40% higher solar radiation during the year, while Nis, Kursumlija and Vranje have the highest potential for the use of solar energy in southern Serbia. Since the city of Nis belongs to the group of cities in Serbia that have the highest potential for solar energy use, the subject of this paper will be the economic and environmental aspects of using solar energy to generate thermal and electrical energy on the territory of the city of Nis. Keywords: economic and environmental aspects, natural resources, solar energy, thermal and electrical energy

Water, as a natural resource, is the most basic substance of life that has immeasurable significance for the living world, ecosystems, and planet earth. In this paper, a prediction of delivered quantities of drinking water (DQDW) and total discharged wastewater (TDWW) of the Nišava district (Serbia) for the period 2019-2023 is given. The prediction for DQDW for the period 2019-2023 was made based ... [Show full abstract] on linear regression model, quadratic regression model, and cubic regression model according to which the data on DQDW of the Nišava district (Serbia) for the period 2006-2018 were approximated. The prediction for TDWW for the period 2019–2023 was done based on the 4th-degree polynomial regression model, the 5th-degree polynomial regression model, and the 6th-degree polynomial regression model by which the DQDW data were approximated of the Nišava district (Serbia) for the period 2006–2018. The presented prediction is a continuation of the paper “Trend analysis of total affected water and total discharged wastewater of the Nišava district (Serbia)” by the same author, in which for data on DQDW and TDWW of the Nišava district (Serbia) for the period 2006–2018 trend analysis and selected regression models have been shown.

BACKGROUND: Water, as a natural resource, is the most basic substance of life that has immeasurable significance for the living world, ecosystems, and planet Earth. It is consumed by plants, animals, and humans. AIM: We aimed to preform a trend analysis of total affected quantities of water and total discharged wastewater (TDWW) of Nišava district (Serbia). METHODS: In this paper, a trend ... [Show full abstract] analysis is given of total affected quantities of water, delivered quantities of drinking water (DQDW), total discharged wastewater (TDWW), wastewater discharges to wastewater systems, and number of households connected to the water supply network of Nišava district (Serbia). RESULTS: The values for Nišava district (Serbia) for total affected quantities of water and DQDW for the period 2006–2018 and wastewater discharges to wastewater systems for the period 2009–2018 decreased, whereas the values for Nišava district (Serbia) for TDWW for the period 2006–2018 and number of households connected to the water supply network for the period 2007–2018 increased. The paper also provides regression models for approximation DQDW (eq. 1) and TDWW (eq. 2) for Nišava district (Serbia) for the period 2006–2018. CONCLUSION: Values for total affected quantities of water (×103 m³) for Nišava district (Serbia) for the period 2006–2018, they decreased from 41740 in 2006 to 9931 in 2018.

Sultanate of Oman relies on gas and oil resources fuels for almost all of its energy needs. Almost 99% of its power generation is based on natural gas. Natural gases are largely committed and soon it may become a net importer of it. This leads to look at alternative sources of energy. Among alternative sources of Energy, Solar and Wind energy resources are found more attractive for country due to ... [Show full abstract] its geographical location and potential. This paper presents a feasibility analysis of Photovoltaic power generation possibilities in four zones of Oman namely Muscat (Seeb int’l airport), Salalah , Nizwa and Sohar
