Book Synopsis A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) by : Fernanda de Souza Braga
Download or read book A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) written by Fernanda de Souza Braga and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-05-08 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades there has been an exponential increase in large hydroelectric plants in Brazil, especially in the Amazon region. These large hydraulic structures impact the environment and the lives of people living in the places where they settle and require a special type of water governance. The dictatorial regime (1964-1985) created a "standard" for the construction of these great structures, through an institutional and legal framework, which benefited the Brazilian business elite but also, through the creation of a popular imagination, which shows itself lasting progress on the country's progress and development. The suspension of security, the fragility of institutional environmental structures, the disrespect for indigenous reserves, the lack of clarity about the concept of "affected population" and the non-payment of fair compensation were identified as one of the main challenges for a democratic water governance in the country. In the late 1970s, the Dam-Affected Movement (MAB) began its organization and is also studied in this research. The study is an important and insightful academic contribution to the understanding of the main bottlenecks of effective water governance in Brazil.

Download or read book Livable Cities? written by Peter Evans and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2002-02-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sprawling cities of the developing world are vibrant hubs of economic growth, but they are also increasingly ecologically unsustainable and, for ordinary citizens, increasingly unlivable. Pollution is rising, affordable housing is decreasing, and green space is shrinking. Since three-quarters of those joining the world's population during the next century will live in Third World cities, making these urban areas more livable is one of the key challenges of the twenty-first century. This book explores the linked issues of livelihood and ecological sustainability in major cities of the developing and transitional world. Livable Cities? identifies important strategies for collective solutions by showing how political alliances among local communities, nongovernmental organizations, and public agencies can help ordinary citizens live better lives.
Book Synopsis Integrated Water Resource Management in Brazil by : Carsten Lorz
Download or read book Integrated Water Resource Management in Brazil written by Carsten Lorz and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex interactions between water resources, land-use change and water technologies are a major issue in many emerging countries of Southern America. Usable water resources are affected by natural conditions, such as, strong seasonal contrasts and high climatic variability, and rapid changes of land use and land cover that is caused by the dramatic expansion of agricultural land and urbanization processes. So far, the effects of the changing climate have had minor effects on water resources. Although regional data is rather scarce, global climate models predict substantial changes of climatic conditions in the future. A further pressure is that demand for water supply and waste water, both in terms of amount and spatial expansion, is increasing rapidly due to higher population densities caused by natural population growth and migration as well as higher per capita consumption. Integrated Water Resource Management in Brazil aims to present the results of the joint project IWAS-AGUA DF which deals with problems, causes and solutions in water supply in scope of integrated water resource management in western Central Brazil. The basic idea of the IWRM approach to be presented is to show how natural conditions and human interference are interacting and how technologies as well as concepts might help to manage such water resource systems in a sustainable way.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Use of Soils and Water by : Fernando António Leal Pacheco
Download or read book Sustainable Use of Soils and Water written by Fernando António Leal Pacheco and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on the sustainable use of soils and water addressed a variety of issues related to the utopian desire for environmental sustainability and the deviations from this scene observed in the real world. Competing interests for land are frequently a factor in land degradation, especially where the adopted land uses do not conform with the land capability (the natural use of soil). The concerns of researchers about these matters are presented in the articles comprising this Special Issue book. Various approaches were used to assess the (im)balance between economic profit and environmental conservation in various regions, in addition to potential routes to bring landscapes back to a sustainable status being disclosed.
Book Synopsis Lagoa Santa Karst: Brazil's Iconic Karst Region by : Augusto S. Auler
Download or read book Lagoa Santa Karst: Brazil's Iconic Karst Region written by Augusto S. Auler and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the Lagoa Santa Karst, which has been internationally known since the pioneering studies of the Danish naturalist Peter Lund in the early 1800s. It covers the speleogenesis, geology, vegetation, fauna, hydrogeology, geomorphology, and anthropogenic use of the Lagoa Santa Karst and is the first English-language book on this major karst area. The area, which has been at the heart of the debate on the origin and age of human colonization in the Americas, is characterized by a classical and scenic karst landscape with limestone cliffs, karst lakes and karst plains, in addition to numerous solution dolines. More than 1,000 caves have been documented in the area, many with significant archeological and paleontological value. Despite its great importance, the Lagoa Santa Karst faces severe environmental threats due to limestone mining and the expansion of the metropolis of Belo Horizonte and its surrounding towns. The growing recognition of the area’s remarkable significance has led to increasing concern, and a number of protected areas have now been established, improving the conservation status of this landmark karst area.

Book Synopsis Guidance manual – a compilation of actor-relevant content extracted from scientific results of the INNOVATE project by : Siegmund-Schultze, Marianna
Download or read book Guidance manual – a compilation of actor-relevant content extracted from scientific results of the INNOVATE project written by Siegmund-Schultze, Marianna and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INNOVATE was a comprehensive, collaborative, and binational research project. It ran from January 2012 through December 2016. Brazil and Brazil’s Northeast in particular suffered from a severe drought period from 2012 onwards. Management and governance of natural resources faced serious challenges related to access to water. Important long-term drivers that call for recurrent adaptation of actions are land use change, population growth, climate change, and conflicts from the multiple uses of water. The scientific project addressed this complex situation through research aimed at suggesting practices and pathways towards ecologically and socioeconomically sound management of land, water and biodiversity. The INNOVATE project had one focus on the entire watershed of the São Francisco River and another one on a portion of the watershed – the Itaparica Reservoir and the semi-arid area north of the artificial lake. Researchers with different backgrounds worked within their disciplines, in groups (interdisciplinary) and together with stakeholders (transdisciplinary). The Guidance Manual is a compilation of actor-relevant content extracted from the scientific research results. Most recommendations put forward can be adapted as principles and standards for reservoir and semi-arid regions elsewhere in the world. INNOVATE war ein umfassendes, bi-nationales Verbundforschungsprojekt zwischen Brasilien und Deutschland, mit einer Kernlaufzeit von Januar 2012 bis Dezember 2016. Im Jahr 2012 begann eine besonders schwere Dürreperiode, welche nicht nur den sowieso trockenen Nordosten Brasiliens traf, sondern auch weitere Teile des Landes. Die stark eingeschränkte Wasserverfügbarkeit wurde zum zentralen Thema von Management und Governance der natürlichen Ressourcen. Wichtige langfristige Treiber, welche eine kontinuierliche Anpassung des Handelns notwendig machen, sind Landnutzungsänderungen, Bevölkerungswachstum, Klimawandel und Konflikte um die verschiedenen Wassernutzungsansprüche. Im Projekt wurden Praktiken und Ansätze zur ökologisch und sozialökonomisch verträglichen Bewirtschaftung von Wasser, Land und Biodiversität entwickelt. Das Studiengebiet des INNOVATE-Projekts umfasste dabei das gesamte Wassereinzugsgebiet des São Francisco Flusses, wobei Feldforschung im semi-ariden Umland nördlich des Itaparica Stausees stattfand. Forscher und Forscherinnen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen arbeiteten disziplinär, in Gruppen (interdisziplinär) sowie gemeinsam mit Stakeholdern (transdisziplinär). Das vorliegende Handbuch ist eine Zusammenstellung von Stakeholder-relevanten Empfehlungen, welche aus den Ergebnissen der wissenschaftlichen Forschung abgeleitet wurden. Die meisten hier vorgestellten Handlungsempfehlungen können weltweit an vergleichbare Stausee- und semi-aride Regionen angepasst werden.
