This study was conducted in the Syrian coastal region, and the honey samples have been collected from eight different sites belonging to the provinces of Latakia and Tartous during the autumn of 2012. Their content of heavy metals (zinc, copper, lead & cadmium) was estimated by Atomic Absorption at the Higher Institute for Environmental Research at Tishreen University. The results showed that zinc concentration in the bee honey samples ranged from 2.86 to 12.64 mg / kg (mean 7.98±3.67), and copper ranged from 0.125 to 0.652 mg / kg (mean 0.328±0.176 ), lead ranged from 0.084 to 0.378 mg / kg (mean 0.205±0.112), cadmium ranged from 0.0002 to 0.0132 mg / kg (mean 0.0053±0.0052). The results indicated that the largest amounts of heavy metals were found in honey sample taken from the apiary which is located at the eastern entrance of Latakia city (near Joud factory), while the lower concentrations of zinc and lead were in Banias area (Wadi Al Saqi), and the least concentration of copper was in Safita area, and of cadmium was in the Gablah area (Bani Qahtan Castle).Comparing elements concentration in the studied honey samples, Zinc concentration was found to be the highest, followed by copper, lead and then finally cadmium.The results of statistical analysis indicated the existence of significant differences between the studied sites during the autumn of 2012.

Research summary
أجريت هذه الدراسة في المنطقة الساحلية السورية، حيث تم جمع عينات من عسل النحل من ثمانية مواقع مختلفة في محافظتي اللاذقية وطرطوس خلال فصل الخريف لعام 2012. تم تحليل محتوى هذه العينات من العناصر الثقيلة (الزنك، النحاس، الرصاص، والكادميوم) باستخدام جهاز الامتصاص الذري في المعهد العالي لبحوث البيئة بجامعة تشرين. أظهرت النتائج أن تركيز الزنك تراوح بين 2.86 و 12.64 مغ/كغ، والنحاس بين 0.125 و 0.652 مغ/كغ، والرصاص بين 0.084 و 0.378 مغ/كغ، والكادميوم بين 0.0002 و 0.0132 مغ/كغ. كانت أعلى تركيزات للعناصر الثقيلة في العسل المأخوذ من المنحل الواقع في المدخل الشرقي لمدينة اللاذقية بالقرب من معمل الجود، بينما كانت أقل التراكيز في مناطق بانياس وصافيتا وجبلة. أظهرت النتائج فروقاً معنوية بين المواقع المدروسة، مما يشير إلى تأثير الموقع الجغرافي على تلوث العسل بالعناصر الثقيلة. توصي الدراسة بتوعية أصحاب المناحل بخطورة الملوثات واختيار مواقع مناسبة لوضع خلايا النحل بعيداً عن مصادر التلوث، بالإضافة إلى إعداد مواصفات قياسية للعسل في سورية تتناسب مع المواصفات الدولية.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعتبر هذه الدراسة مهمة للغاية في تسليط الضوء على تلوث عسل النحل بالعناصر الثقيلة في المنطقة الساحلية السورية، إلا أن هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، كان من الممكن توسيع نطاق الدراسة لتشمل فصولاً أخرى من السنة لمعرفة تأثير التغيرات الموسمية على تلوث العسل. ثانياً، لم تتناول الدراسة تأثير هذه العناصر الثقيلة على صحة الإنسان بشكل مباشر، وهو جانب مهم يجب أخذه بعين الاعتبار. ثالثاً، كان من الممكن استخدام تقنيات تحليلية إضافية لتعزيز دقة النتائج. وأخيراً، كان من الأفضل إجراء مقارنة مع دراسات مشابهة في مناطق أخرى من العالم بشكل أكثر تفصيلاً لتقديم صورة شاملة عن الوضع.

Because rainfall in the coastal area is high and water projects are nearly missing, we think it is important to make use of available water resources. In order to predict future rainfalls and suggest proper management of resources, we created a mathe matical model linking rainfall amounts between demand (population, agricultural and industrial) on water resources during the period (2000-2012). Results show the following: 1. Rainfalls decreased during the period ( 2002-2012) at an annual rate of (1.84%). 2. Demand on water resources increased during the period (2002-2012) at an annual rate of (3.41%) of the population demand, and (3.47 %) of the agricultural demand, and 6.25% for industrial demand. 3. There is a surplus of available water resources and the size of demand for them, with the surplus decreasing during the period (2002-2012) at an annual rate (2.97 %). 4. The estimation of the surplus between the amount of available water resources and the size of the demand for them will decrease in 2023 from what it was like in the year 2013 at an annual rate (-3.23%).
The research aims to estimate allocated to quench agricultural areas in the coastal region, the amount of water during the period 2002-2012 in case of the use of modern irrigation (drip and sprinkler irrigation) instead of the traditional surface irr igation according to water legalized each method and the rate of efficiency, as well as to estimate the losses in irrigation networks allocated to agriculture and the development of appropriate pricing mechanisms of government. Find the historical and descriptive approaches adopted, and it was the most important results: 1- The results showed that if the use of drip irrigation surface irrigation in the quench-based surface irrigation acreage allowance contributed to supply up to 40% of the water used in surface irrigation amounts, and an average (174 973 785) cubic meters during the period 2002- 2012. 2- The results showed that if the use of sprinkler irrigation surface irrigation instead of the quench-based surface irrigation acreage for contributed to the supplied amount to 28% of the water used in surface irrigation amounts, and an average (122 481 649) cubic meters during the period studied. 3- economic pricing of agricultural water demand for current pricing varies, it was found that there is a deficit in the recovery of operating and maintenance costs of the territory of farmer beneficiaries of the water public irrigation networks and adult (21,500) per hectare, compared with what is being collected (3500) for. Q per hectare.
The samples of bee pollen were collected from inside and outside the honey beehives of apiaries situated in five different locations of Latakia; Al-Qardahah, Al-Haffeh, Jableh, Latakia city and Eastern Entryway to Latakia during the autumn in 2014 . The concentrations of three heavy metals, zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) were determined in pollen by using atomic absorption.
Drought is one of the most important challenges facing sustainable development in eastern Mediterranean regions, where water resources are already limited and ecosystems are fragile. Sums of weighted standardized monthly precipitation anomalies were used to assess annual drought intensity, frequency and spatial extent in five climatic stations located in Syrian coastal region during the period 1966-2008.Changes in drought intensity were detected using trends with Mann – Kendall test. Results show that drought occurs with high frequency over all parts of the coastal region(up to 35% in some parts),but with different intensities.Extreme drought can hit all regions in some years as happened in 1972-1973. Moreover drought may strike the same region for three consecutive years (1988-1991). Also the results show an increasing tendency in drought intensityrelated to the decreasein drought index values (between 0.29-0.96). This can have serious ecological and economic consequences and will pose an increasing challenge to agriculture and the management of water resources in this region.
Changes in precipitation patterns are considered one of most important hazards facing terrestrial ecosystems and water resources worldwide. Monthly rainfall data for six meteorological stations located in the Syrian coastal region were used to study changes in precipitation characteristics during the period 1960-2010. Trends with mann- Kendall Test, Gamma Distribution and Precipitation Concentration Index (PCI) were applied to detect changes in seasonal and annual precipitation amount in addition to seasonality. Results showed significant negative trends in annual precipitation in all stations up to 30% in some cases, which could be related to the decrease in spring and winter rainfall amounts that ranged between 38.5% to 50.2% in spring and 14% to 38% in winter. Despite significant decrease in annual precipitation, there were no significant trends in seasonality. These changes in precipitation patterns would pose big challenges to water resources management , agricultural production and forests management.
