Book Synopsis Municipal Boundary Battles by : Sandeep Agrawal
Download or read book Municipal Boundary Battles written by Sandeep Agrawal and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2024-07-18 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Municipal Boundary Battles explores the motivations, land use effects, and financial implications of municipal boundary adjustments across Canada, focusing mainly on annexations and amalgamations--the most frequent means to adjust boundaries and reform local governments in this country. The authors uncover hidden motivations, untangle behind-the-scenes political machinations, and document the ensuing boundary battles, with a focus on mid-size cities and small towns rather than major Canadian metropolitan areas. Through empirical evidence, case studies, and examples among several provinces, the collection helps develop generalizations and inform best practices for municipal boundary adjustments and reform. The volume aims to study this phenomenon to explain how the esoteric aspects of boundary adjustments work in more practical applications, offering political scientists, geographers, municipal officials, and planning practitioners fresh perspectives that contradict much of the prevailing understanding of boundary adjustments. Contributors: Sandeep Agrawal, Cody Gretzinger, John Heseltine, John Meligrana, Jordan Rea, Amrita Singh, Jon Taylor, Zack Taylor. Afterword by Andrew Sancton."--

Book excerpt: The Water for Life strategy outlines the Government of Alberta's commitments to manage and safeguard Alberta's water resources, now and in the future. The strategy has been the vehicle for managing Alberta's precious water resources since its release in 2003. Because it has been such an effective tool for managing Alberta's water resources, the Government of Alberta renewed the strategy and will implement a renewed action plan. The Water for Life renewal builds upon the good work already undertaken and reaffirms the Government of Alberta's commitment to the Water for Life approach for the wise management of Alberta's water quantity and quality for the benefit of all Albertans. Five years later, Albertans continue to care about the health of the aquatic environment, as well as issues concerning water quality and quantity. They are also aware of the impacts of climate change, unprecedented economic growth and development, and population demands on Alberta's water resources. The renewed Water for Life strategy and action plan reflect current issues in our province and the recommendations made by the Alberta Water Council. It is a renewal that builds on an already strong foundation to ensure continued sustainable water quality and quantity in Alberta. In most cases, significant foundational work has begun or will be initiated in the short-term.

Book Synopsis Indigenous Research by : Deborah McGregor
Download or read book Indigenous Research written by Deborah McGregor and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous research is an important and burgeoning field of study. With the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s call for the Indigenization of higher education and growing interest within academic institutions, scholars are exploring research methodologies that are centred in or emerge from Indigenous worldviews, epistemologies, and ontology. This new edited collection moves beyond asking what Indigenous research is and examines how Indigenous approaches to research are carried out in practice. Contributors share their personal experiences of conducting Indigenous research within the academy in collaboration with their communities and with guidance from Elders and other traditional knowledge keepers. Their stories are linked to current discussions and debates, and their unique journeys reflect the diversity of Indigenous languages, knowledges, and approaches to inquiry. Indigenous Research: Theories, Practices, and Relationships is essential reading for students in Indigenous studies programs, as well as for those studying research methodology in education, health sociology, anthropology, and history. It offers vital and timely guidance on the use of Indigenous research methods as a movement toward reconciliation.

Book excerpt: Is Canada's water secure? According to Environment Canada, one quarter of all Canadian communities experienced water shortages during the latter half of the 1990s. Water quality in over a thousand small and rural communities is as bad as or worse than that in many developing countries. Likewise, at the time of writing, more than 100 First Nations communities live with permanent boil water advisories (Phare 2009). Across the country the effects of decades of under-investment in water treatment networks are now apparent: over the next two decades, Canada's aging water networks will have to be replaced at the cost of an estimated $100 billion (Bakker 2009; Environment Canada 2004).

Trade-offs need to be managed to limit negative impacts and foster opportunities for synergy. Water and energy have crucial impacts on poverty alleviation both directly, as a number of the Millennium Development Goals depend on major improvements in access to water, sanitation, power and energy sources, and indirectly, as water and energy can be binding constraints on economic growth the ultimate hope for widespread poverty reduction. This fifth edition of the United Nations World Water Development Report (WWDR 2014) seeks to inform decision-makers
Book Synopsis Global Issues in Water, Sanitation, and Health by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Global Issues in Water, Sanitation, and Health written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-10-25 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the human population grows-tripling in the past century while, simultaneously, quadrupling its demand for water-Earth's finite freshwater supplies are increasingly strained, and also increasingly contaminated by domestic, agricultural, and industrial wastes. Today, approximately one-third of the world's population lives in areas with scarce water resources. Nearly one billion people currently lack access to an adequate water supply, and more than twice as many lack access to basic sanitation services. It is projected that by 2025 water scarcity will affect nearly two-thirds of all people on the planet. Recognizing that water availability, water quality, and sanitation are fundamental issues underlying infectious disease emergence and spread, the Institute of Medicine held a two-day public workshop, summarized in this volume. Through invited presentations and discussions, participants explored global and local connections between water, sanitation, and health; the spectrum of water-related disease transmission processes as they inform intervention design; lessons learned from water-related disease outbreaks; vulnerabilities in water and sanitation infrastructure in both industrialized and developing countries; and opportunities to improve water and sanitation infrastructure so as to reduce the risk of water-related infectious disease.

Book Synopsis Resilient Water Services and Systems: by : Petri Juuti
Download or read book Resilient Water Services and Systems: written by Petri Juuti and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resilient Water Services and Systems: The Foundation of Well-Being provides an overarching framework on water and sanitation services and how they are coping with resilience, aging infrastructure and climate change. The Editors present conceptual evidence about resilience backed by case studies that demonstrate resilience in practice. There are 13 case studies, from Asia, Africa, Europe and North and South America, providing informative perspectives from around the world. This is a timely collection of historic and contemporary evidence that will have increasing relevance in the coming decades. This volume will be of relevance to both scholars and practitioners. “Resilient water services are the key to water security across the world. Sustaining them is a challenging task in high-income countries where aging infrastructure is a critical issue, and in low-income countries where new infrastructure is needed and ability-to-pay is a more formidable barrier to success. The editors have compiled a succinct analysis and assembled case studies that cover diverse regions and contexts. From this book the reader will gain a wealth of knowledge about water services, as well as rich vicarious experiences from the cases.
