In a field study, the impact of different levels of brewery sludge (BS) enrichment on L. (wheat plants) was examined in terms of growth, yield, heavy metal absorption, and potential health risks linked to plant consumption. Using a randomized complete block design with seven treatments and three blocks, the study showed that applying up to 12 t ha brewery sludge significantly improved all agronomic parameters (except harvest index) compared to control and mineral-fertilized soil.

The Awash basin was picked because it is continuously in danger both spatially and temporally. The likelihood of flooding was assessed using eight independent variables: elevation, slope, rainfall, drainage density, land use, soil type, wetness index, and lineament density.
