Authors: Druzhkin Anatoly Fedorovich , Nikolaichenko Natalia Viktorovna , Dubrovin Daniil Andreevich
Published: July 2024

The article presents data on the effectiveness of the application  of mineral fertilizers, growth-stimulating preparations, herbicides and their combined effect on the productivity of various corn hybrids according to FAO in the Saratov Right Bank. Observations of the growth dynamics of the leaf surface of plants by development phases showed that at different stages of the growing season the leaf apparatus forms differently. The peak growth of the leaf apparatus occurs during the period of darkening of the threads of the cobs - the milky-waxy ripeness of the grain; by harvesting this indicator is greatly reduced. The largest leaf surface area on average over three years was after complex application of mineral fertilizer with growth-stimulating preparations - NPK + Agree’s Boron + Agree’s Aminovit. For the hybrid ROSS 199 MV it was 22.5 thousand m2/ha, for the hybrid Krasnodar 291AMV - 23.8 thousand m2/ha. It has been established that the most effective method is the complex application of the studied fertilizers and growth-stimulating preparations. They provide better growth and development of plants, a noticeable increase in leaf area and crop structure elements. The combined application of mineral fertilizers and growth-stimulating preparations made it possible to obtain maximum grain yield. On average, over three years of research, it was 5.59 t/ha for the hybrid ROSS 199 MV, and 6.13 t/ha for the hybrid Krasnodar 291AMV.

Creation of a universal tool for reclamation cultivation of plains and slopes based on conceptual design
Authors: Maksimov Valeriy Pavlovich , Mikhaylin Andrey Andreyevich
Published: July 2024

The particular set of conceptual design methods proposed in this paper is, in fact, a functional and structural analysis, which includes: isolating the structure of the system from the environment, the sequence of performing a number of actions to achieve goals, etc. In some cases, the conceptual design methods conduct a systematic synthesis of the project under study. Object-oriented modeling is one of the main elements of such a methodology. The use of modern methods of analysis and synthesis of the structure of the object minimizes errors that are potentially possible during conceptual design and allows to obtain at this stage the maximum improvement of the structure of the tool, which most rationally fits the functional requirements of the technical task. Using the methodology of conceptual system design based on the universal modeling language UML, while using the integration of the necessary corresponding diagrams, we get the opportunity to create the necessary structural model of the system. The structural model is obtained as a result of combining two unary diagrams (target classes and object classes) through logical functional relationships of their entities in the form of a third (transitional) unary diagram of functional-target classes and is a hybrid object-target diagram of classes. This diagram describes the effects on the studied system of reclamation cultivation of slope and plain lands  as well as the requirements for their treatment. Emerging goals are structured by the relationship with the elements of technological equipment from the set technological tasks. The resulting structured targets are combined into a basic structure through their aggregation relations of the tool for the system of reclamation cultivation of slope and plain lands. As a result of the theoretical studies of the reclamation treatment system, a new method of slope treatment was created, protected by the RF patent, as well as a number of inventions allowing to create a universal tillage tool used in the reclamation cultivation system for slope and plain lands.

Published: July 2024

he article presents the results of research on the use of growth regulators on rice crops of Stalingrad 1 variety, irrigated by periodic watering. The description and methods of application of growth-regulating preparations containing various natural components affecting the growth and development of rice plants and their reaction to the treatment of seed material and leaf surface of plants with preparations are presented. The application  of growth-stimulating preparation   had an impact on the duration of the growing season. The longest growing season (116 day) was during the Extrasol treatment of seeds and vegetating plants in combination with N137P74K90, calculated to obtain the planned yield of rice by 7 t/ha, and, the water regime of the soil is not lower than 80% of minimum water capacity. The combined use of growth-stimulating preparation  with the introduction of doses of macro-fertilizers for the planned yield of 6 t/ha, while maintaining a water regime of at least 70% of minimum water capacity, contributed to a reduction in the growing season by 1-3 days compared to the 7 t/ha variant (N137P74K90) and amounted to 105 days on the variant of treatment of  vegetating rice plants with the growth preparation Zircon. Of the growth-stimulating preparations  used, the   best results were after   Extrasol application when processing rice seed material and on the leaf surface while maintaining a pre-irrigation threshold of at least 80% in combination with a dose of fertilizer N137P74K90 for a planned yield of 7 t/ha.

Published: July 2024

The issues of providing the population with quality food products are currently relevant and especially important for the Russian Federation during the period of sanctions influence. To produce the required volume of products in livestock farming, it is necessary to improve the feed supply of the raised livestock, which in turn can be done rationally through the development and use of local natural resources. One of these insufficiently demanded sources of raw materials is sapropel - natural deposits of freshwater reservoirs, rich in minerals and vitamins. It is advisable to use sapropel as a base for the preparation of feed additives; one of the options for such additives would be the germination of green mass of cereals on sapropel to enrich the product with taste characteristics. Also, the vitamin-feed additive is completely consumed by animals, i.e. waste-free. For the production of vitamin-feed additives, we propose a new design of a multi-purpose mixer-chopper with modernized blades-knives, the design of which and the kinematic mode of their operation were substantiated by the authors both theoretically and experimentally. The proposed technology for the production of a highly effective feed additive based on local resources of the Non-Black Earth Region and a unit for preparing such a product for consumption by animals will significantly reduce the economic costs of feeding livestock and obtain significant agricultural profits. enterprise, especially during the winter period of keeping animals.

The effect of different levels of vitamin A in the diets of bulls fed with food industry waste on the change in the metabolism of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus
Authors: Valoshin Andrey Vladimirovich , Gayirbegov Djunaidi Sharamazanovich , Alilov Magomedali Mutinovich
Published: July 2024

The article gives the results of studying the metabolism of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus in the body of black-and-white bulls fed with waste from the food industry (barda, pulp, beer pellet) with different levels of vitamin A. Studies have shown that the vitamin A content in the diets of bulls in accordance with the recommended standards of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences for carotene does not contribute to better deposition of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus in their bodies. Normalization of these elements metabolism in the body of experimental bulls occurs due to the additional introduction of the vitamin preparation “Microvit A” into their diets and due to an increase in the amount of vitamin A when fattening using stillage and pulp by 50%, when fattening on diets with brewer's grains - by 40% more recommended standards of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences for carotene. For all types of fattening, the best absorption of nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus into the body was in the experimental group III. Nitrogen retention in their body when fattening on stillage was by 4.99 g, or 19.8% (p<0.05), calcium - by 1.55 g, or 14.6% (p>0.05 ) and phosphorus – by 1.64 g, or 19.9% (p<0.05) higher than in control peers from group I. The enrichment of these elements from diets with pulp and brewer's grains in animals of experimental group III was also higher than in control analogues from group I.

Authors: Chevtaeva Natalia Dmitrievna , Zinnatov Farit Fatikhovich , Bikchantaev Irek Tagirovich
Published: July 2024

A herd of Holstein first-calf heifers was analyzed for the prolactin hormone gene (PRL) by PCR-PDRF analysis and individuals with high milk productivity were identified. Prolactin is a gonadotropic hormone that is produced in the adenohypophysis. It   effects on the alveoli of the mammary gland, influencing the processes of growth and development of the alveolar and lobular structure of the mammary gland. It activates the working tissue of the gland, stimulating the synthesis and secretion of milk proteins and other milk substances. The prolactin (PRL) gene of the same name is responsible for the synthesis of this hormone, the polymorphism (SNP rs211032652) of which has two allelic variants: PRLA and PRLB. The PRLB allele was found to favor greater milk protein secretion in the mammary gland. This gene can serve as a marker gene for milk productivity and milk quality parameters of cattle, which makes it a promising candidate for identifying relationships in genetic variations. DNA samples obtained from blood samples of Holstein first-calf heifers belonging to the farm "Lenin breeding plant" of Atninsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan in the amount of 163 heads were studied. Cows with PRLBB genotype were characterized by a high degree of realization of genetic potential for economically important traits. Dairy cows of the homozygous subpopulation with the PRLBB genotype favorably differed from their counterparts with the homozygous PRLAA genotype in milk yield by 378 kg per standard lactation. Their milk was characterized by increased fat content (by 0.16 % or 26.5 kg) and surpassed their counterparts with PRLAA genotype in mass fraction and protein yield by 0.20 % and 29.3 kg, respectively.

Published: July 2024

The search for new species of endophytic bacteria that have a positive effect on plant development opens up prospects for the development of effective microbiological preparations for adaptive plant production. The study of microbial communities of endophytes inhabiting the stems, roots and tubers of agricultural crops is necessary for the further development of various biological products against plant diseases and pests. However, depending on the type of crop and varietal characteristics, the species diversity of bacteria may vary. Also, the species composition is influenced by the climatic conditions of cultivation, since many bacteria enter plants through soil, water, etc. The species composition of bacteria also varies in the ratio of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Most studies of endophytic bacteria were carried out abroad; in Russia this direction is only gaining momentum. In Yakutia, such research is being carried out for the first time. In this regard, we have begun research to identify and study the species composition of various agricultural crops cultivated in Yakutia. The following cereal crops served as the object of research: wheat (Tr?ticum), oats (Av?na sativa). Almost the same number of bacterial species were found in wheat and oats (26 and 27). Bacteria of the Proteobacteria and Bacteroidota types predominated. Bacteria of the Rhodanobacteraceae type were isolated on wheat, which were not found on oats. Bacteria were mainly identified on the roots of plants, then on the stem and a minimal amount was found on the leaves of plants. Bacteria with a gram-negative morphotype predominated.

Published: July 2024

The research was conducted on the basis of the Saratov State University of Genetics, Biotechnology and Engineering named after N.I. Vavilov and JSC «Plemzavod Trudovoye» (Marksovsky district of the Saratov region). Highly productive cows with clinical signs of diseases caused by metabolic disorders were identified. According to the principle of analogues 2 groups with 60 heads in each were formed. The experimental group of animals with clinical signs of metabolic disorders and the control group with clinically healthy animal. Laboratory tests of blood, urine, and scar contents were performed in cows of the experimental and control groups. Clinical studies have shown that 20% cows of the experimental group have obesity, 23,33% cows - dystrophic phenomena, 28.33% cows - depression, 15.0% cows have visible swelling in the underbelly and lower abdomen. Pododermatitis (1.67%) and skin lesions (6.67%) were recorded in animals. An increase of lymph nodes, changes in the cardiovascular system, the digestive canal, and disorders of the respiratory system were revealed. Dystrophic processes in the bone system were noted. Analysis of the results of clinical and laboratory studies showed that metabolic disorders in the body of highly productive cows are accompanied by clinical manifestations of acidosis, ketosis, osteodystrophy, myocardosis, hepatosis, nephrosis, and an increase in ketone bodies in urine. An improvement of the productive qualities and reproductive health in cows can be achieved only if the metabolic processes in animals are normalized.

Published: July 2024

The article deals with the issues of modeling the operation of cutting machines in various natural and industrial conditions of cutting areas. Particular attention is paid to the work of harvesters when performing selective logging. The aim of the study is to create mathematical dependencies that allow for a comparative theoretical assessment of the trajectory of the harvester manipulator during simulation modeling of the spatial placement of trees. In the course of achieving this goal, a calculation scheme was created to determine the distances of movement of the manipulator and the harvester when pointing the manipulator at a growing tree and moving the fallen tree to the bucking zone. One of the distinctive characteristics of the conducted research is the analysis of the choice of the trajectory of the manipulator during the implementation of selective logging. The authors provide a consistent conclusion of the desired mathematical dependencies based on the basic principles of geometry, which makes it possible to verify the reliability of the theoretical approach and the degree of its adequacy to real production conditions. The analysis of the obtained dependencies allows us to conclude that the number of trees in the manipulator's area of operation significantly affects the duration of the harvester. The calculations show that the presence of trees of a non-target component in the work area of the manipulator can increase labor costs by 15%. This indicates the degree of influence of non-target component trees remaining in the cutting area, and clearly demonstrates the possibility of taking them into account when modeling the performance of cutting machines.

Published: July 2024

The research was carried out in order to identify the optimal elements of technology in the soy – spring durum wheat link based on efficiency in the arid conditions of the Volga region. Seven technologies were tested in the six-field grain-to-crop rotation on ordinary chernozem in 2010-2023: two traditional, four with differentiated processing and direct sowing. The maximum yield of the crop rotation link was on intensive backgrounds of resource-saving and traditional technology – 1.79–1.90 thousand grain units/ ha, which ensured the receipt of the largest conditional net income of 27709.8–28325.3 rubles/ha or 1.2–1.5 times higher than the options without the application of mineral fertilizers. The maximum level of profitability was in the variant with resource-saving technologies and the application of mineral fertilizers - 143.2-148.3%, which is 1.4-26.6% more than in other plots. In contrast to economic efficiency, the greatest efficiency of energy consumption was after use of resource-saving technology using a biological product and a traditional technology (extensive background) – 2.77–2.81, which is 0.07–0.42 units more than control and other plots with resource-saving technology. Based on research in the soy – spring wheat link, technological operations are proposed using the AUP-18.05 unit for direct sowing of wheat, soy – seeder SZS -2.1: differentiated tillage (including loosening by 25-27 cm under soybeans; spring wheat – direct sowing), application of ammonium nitrate at a dose of N40 (before sowing spring wheat wheat), azofoska (NPK)15 in soybean cultivation, in the tillering phase of wheat, treatment of crops with Bionex Kemi, at the end of boot stage with the fungicide Soligor.

Authors: Anisimova Еkaterina Ivanovna
Published: July 2024

The author has set the urgent task of studying the productive longevity of Simmental cattle belonging to different intrabreed types. The conducted studies showed that cows of the meat-and-dairy type had a life expectancy and a period of productive use that was less than their peers of the dairy and dairy-meat types; the difference was 475; 230 days and 448;161 days, respectively. The milk yield for one day of productive use in animals of the meat-dairy type was 3.9-6.1 kg lower than that of the dairy-meat and dairy types, and in terms of lifetime milk yield they were inferior to their peers of the dairy type by 5647.9 kg, milk-meat – by 3478.8 kg. The obtained data on the duration of productive use and lifetime milk yield, taking into account the linear affiliation within different production types of Simmental cattle, allow us to consider the Redad line to be the most promising for use on the farm as the main one, to increase the period of productive use.

Published: July 2024

The study presents the results of investigating the effects of ultrafine zinc particles (UZP) and a phytobiotic supplement based on essential oils (Probiocid-Phyto) on carp physiology. A growth-stimulating effect was observed when adding Probiocid-Phyto and UZP Zn to the fish diet. Analysis of the amino acid composition showed that the use of Probiocid-Phyto and UZP Zn stimulates protein metabolism and increases the levels of several amino acids in the liver and muscle tissue of carp. In the liver of fish in all experimental groups, the levels of arginine, lysine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, leucine+isoleucine, and valine were significantly higher than the control values. In the muscle tissue of fish, there was an increase in the levels of histidine, arginine, lysine, and leucine+isoleucine. Therefore, the increase in amino acid levels indicates the activation of metabolism, including lipid metabolism, digestion, and nutrient absorption in fish, leading to improved growth productivity.

A Quantum Decision Approach for Human-AI Decision-Making
Authors: Humr Scott , Canan Mustafa , Demir Mustafa
Published: July 2024

Artificial Intelligence is set to encompass additional decision space that has traditionally been the purview of humans. However, this decision space remains contested. Incongruencies between artificial intelligence and human rationalization processes introduce uncertainties in human decision-making, which require new conceptualizations that capture these distinct types of uncertainties. Hence, developing new ways to model human and artificial intelligence interactions are necessary to account for such uncertainties and improve situation awareness and decision-making. In this paper, we outline current conceptualizations of human and machine rationalities. Next, we offer the concept of rational prediction deviations (via quantum probability theory) for capturing uncertainty in situational awareness. Lastly, we propose a human-in-the-loop construct to explicate how applications of quantum probability theory in decision science can ameliorate situation awareness models by providing a novel way to capture distinct dynamics of decision making.

Published: July 2024

Cybersecurity incident response presents significant challenges, exacerbated by a limited understanding of the cognitive processes employed by cybersecurity professionals. Cognitive task analysis (CTA) is a valuable tool to address this knowledge gap and inform evaluation, training, and design of cybersecurity systems. However, the required access and cost have limited the number and scope of CTAs in cybersecurity. Therefore, a need exists for CTA-derived insights about incident response and methodology of CTA to support data collection in this rapidly evolving domain. In this paper, we explore some of the challenges specific to CTA in the context of incident response, present an example demonstrating how CTA facilitates insights by examining results obtained from a single subject matter expert (SME), and describe the role of CTA in our ongoing mixed methods research program. The application of CTA in supporting quantitative research holds promise for advancing cyber defense strategies.

This paper investigates the influence of culture on public behavior patterns (PBP) in the context of cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS) during crisis situations. CPSS integrate technology and social dimensions, but the understanding and inclusion of social phenomena in CPSS development and operation are still limited. The concept of public behavior pattern (PBP) is proposed to describe recurrent behaviors of communities. The paper focuses on the cultural domain and explores how cultural dimensions, based on Hofstede’s theory, could affect behavioral patterns in crisis situations. The study examines the cultural dimensions of Power Distance, Uncertainty Avoidance, and Individualism versus Collectivism in three groups: native Estonians in Estonia, Russian minority group in Estonia, and native Russians in Russia. The findings highlight differences between the cultural groups, emphasizing the importance of cultural context in crisis behavior.

Abstract
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of Quillaja saponaria powder and Yucca schidigera powder (Magni‐Phi®) for all avian species (to slaughter age/weight, or to the point of lay) and ornamental birds, as a zootechnical additive (digestibility enhancer and other zootechnical additives). The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concluded that the additive is safe for chickens for fattening at the level of 250 mg/kg complete feed with a margin of safety of 20 assuming that the additive contains 3.58% of saponins. This conclusion was extrapolated to all growing poultry species and ornamental birds. The Panel concluded that the use of the feed additive in animal nutrition at 250 mg/kg complete feed is of no concern for the safety for the consumer and the environment. The Panel also concluded that the additive is not irritant to skin, but irritant to the eyes and to the respiratory system. Due to the lack of data, the FEEDAP Panel could not conclude on the skin sensitisation potential of the additive. The FEEDAP Panel was not in the position to conclude on the efficacy of the additive for all poultry species and ornamental birds.

The saree is a masterwork of artistry because of its elaborate zari work motifs, which depict tales of valor, loyalty, and the natural world. The distinctive reversible style of the Maheshwari saree, which has a solid color on one side and stripes, checks, or floral designs on the other, enhances its regal appeal. It is perfect for both formal and casual use because of its lightweight and breathable material. The motifs on the saree, which stand for harmony, power, and the abundance of nature, reflect the cultural significance of the garment. The Maheshwari saree, renowned for its ethical and ecological production process, is a beloved component of Indian handloom legacy, even in the face of competition from power looms and quick fashion. This paper highlights the Maheshwari saree's ongoing legacy as a regal weave of Madhya Pradesh by delving into its history, meaning, and beauty.

Introducción: la pandemia de COVID-19 produjo una alta mortalidad en el mundo. Sin embargo, las presentaciones más críticas de la enfermedad han sido poco caracterizadas en nuestra región.Objetivo: estudiar la presentación clínica, evolución y mortalidad en pacientes ingresados en la unidad de medicina intensiva de un centro COVID-19 de referencia.Pacientes y método: estudio clínico, prospectivo, observacional de SARS-CoV-2 durante las primeras etapas de la pandemia en Uruguay. Se definió mortalidad en unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) como desenlace primario.Resultados: en 274 pacientes, la edad mediana fue de 65 años (IQR 54-73), el sexo masculino representó el 57% y el índice de Charlson tuvo una mediana de 3 (IQR 2-5). La mortalidad en UCI fue 59,9%. Las principales causas de muerte fueron: hipoxemia refractaria, disfunción orgánica múltiple y shock refractario. La edad (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1,06; IC de 95% 1,03 - 1,09), ocupación de camas (OR = 1,04, IC 95%: 1,02 - 1,07), sexo masculino (OR = 2,14, IC 95%: 0,93 - 5,06), ventilación mecánica invasiva (OR = 51,7, IC 95%: 16,5 - 208,6), coinfección al ingreso (OR = 2,34, IC 95%: 0,88 - 6,77) y enfermedad renal crónica previa (OR = 13,1, IC 95%: 2,29 - 129,2) fueron predictores independientes de mortalidad. La primera ola de la pandemia se produjo por la circulación de las variantes P.6 y P.1 del coronavirus, en una población con muy bajo porcentaje de vacunación (8%).Conclusiones: estos resultados en pacientes críticos aportan una descripción detallada del impacto de la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 en un centro de referencia y constituyen una base para enfrentar futuros eventos epidémicos.

Introducción: centralizar estudios superiores en Montevideo implica para las familias del interior del país gastos económicos, desarraigo familiar y pérdida de recursos humanos. La formación de especialistas en Pediatría en el interior comenzó en la década de 1980. En los últimos años se ha fortalecido, agregando escenarios de aprendizaje, docentes, recursos didácticos y evaluaciones.Objetivo: describir la experiencia en la descentralización de la docencia de especialistas en Pediatría entre 2007 y 2021 en los departamentos de Maldonado, Paysandú, Rivera y Salto.Metodología: estudio descriptivo, incluyendo estudiantes del posgrado de especialistas en Pediatría que realizaron su formación en Maldonado, Paysandú, Rivera y Salto, entre 2007 y 2021. Se describe el número de especialistas formados, las características personales o familiares que incidieron en la decisión de realizar el curso en el interior, desempeño curricular, lugar de ejercicio profesional, recursos humanos docentes disponibles.Resultados: en el período analizado 88 estudiantes cursaron el posgrado en las ciudades evaluadas, 33 en régimen de residencia. Eran oriundos/residentes del lugar, 78. Egresaron 57; 19 se encontraban cursando, 4 abandonaron. Un porcentaje variable de las instancias obligatorias del curso se realizaron en el interior. El tiempo promedio para realizar todas las actividades obligatorias fue de 3,3 años. Ejercen en el lugar de formación o en ciudades cercanas, 60. Paysandú y Salto cuentan con 34 horas docentes/semana. Maldonado con 6 horas docentes/semana y docentes honorarios. Rivera cuenta con docentes/tutores honorarios.Conclusiones: la descentralización de la docencia de Pediatría es un gran logro para las ciudades del interior, que forman sus propios recursos humanos, permitiendo que se radiquen en estas ciudades. Es necesario mejorar la oferta de actividades curriculares y horas docentes.

Introducción: el cáncer de cuello (CC) uterino representa un problema de salud pública. En Uruguay ocupa el tercer lugar en incidencia en mujeres, provocando 133 fallecimientos anuales. La afectación ganglionar es uno de sus principales factores pronósticos y condiciona el tratamiento. El ganglio centinela (GC) en estadios precoces de cáncer cervicouterino es una técnica segura que permite una adecuada estadificación y reduce la morbilidad asociada a la linfadenectomía convencional.Objetivo: validar la utilización de la técnica de la biopsia GC en estadios precoces de CC como estándar de tratamiento para la detección de metástasis ganglionares en el Hospital de la Mujer.Material y método: se realizó un estudio prospectivo, longitudinal, de casos. Se incluyó a 30 usuarias con CC en estadios iniciales, en el período comprendido entre enero de 2018 y noviembre de 2022. La marcación se realizó con tecnecio 99m (99mTc). En el mismo acto quirúrgico se realizó la linfadenectomía pélvica sistemática.Resultados: se detectó GC de forma bilateral en 29 de 30 pacientes. Con una tasa de detección por región de 98,3%. En cinco pacientes se detectaron GC metastásicos, no encontrando ganglios no centinela positivos. Una de ellas correspondió a una micrometástasis detectada por ultraestadificación. La sensibilidad fue de 100%: IC95% (56,55 -100) con VPN 100% IC95% (86,68 - 100).Conclusiones: de acuerdo con los resultados arrojados por el estudio, el equipo interdisciplinario del Hospital de la Mujer está en condiciones de utilizar la biopsia de GC de cérvix como estándar de tratamiento en el CC uterino en estadio precoz.

Bu çalışmanın amacı Düzce ovasında suyun doğrudan kullanım sonucu ortaya çıkan ekonomik değerini (TL/m3) analiz etmektir. Suyun ekonomik değeri hesaplanırken ilgili sahada beş ekonomik sektör temel alınmıştır: (i) içme ve kullanma
suyu, (ii) su ürünleri yetiştiriciliği (alabalık çiftlikleri), (iii) tarım, (iv) hayvancılık ve (v) enerji. Çalışma bulgularına göre, 2001 yılı için suyun ekonomik değerinin en yüksek olduğu sektör tarım sektörü (333 TL/m3) olurken,
suyun ekonomik değeri en düşük olan sektör ise enerji sektörüdür (0.07 TL/m3). Tarım sektöründe 1m3 su ile üretilen ekonomik değer en düşük 160 TL (18.73 USD)/m3 ve en yüksek 333 TL (38.98 USD)/m3 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Tarım sektörünü
sırasıyla hayvancılık (116,52 TL/13.64 USD)/m3, içme ve kullanma suyu (4,68 TL/0.55 USD)/m3, su ürünleri yetiştiriciliği (1,66 TL/0.19 USD)/m3 ve enerji sektörü (0,07 TL/0.008 USD)/m3 izlemektedir.
