Download or read book Milestones in Water Reuse written by Valentina Lazarova and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milestones in Water Reuse: The Best Success Stories illustrates the benefits of water reuse in integrated water resources management and its role for water cycle management, climate change adaptation and water in the cities of the future. Selected case studies are used to illustrate the different types of water reuse, i.e. agricultural irrigation, golf course and landscape irrigation, urban and industrial uses, environmental enhancement, as well as indirect and direct potable reuse. The various aspects related to water reuse are covered, including treatment technologies, water quality, economics, public acceptance, benefits, keys for success and main constraints. These international case studies highlight the best practices for the implementation of water reuse and provide the perspective for the integration of water recycling projects in the future, both for megacities and rural areas. Milestones in Water Reuse: The Best Success Stories demonstrates that planned water reuse is a cost competitive and energy-saving option to increase water availability and reliability. This book provides policy makers and regulators with a good understanding of water reuse and helps them to consider recycled water as safe and how it can be used. It is intended to be read by all people in the water sector and shows how water reuse is safe, economically viable, environmentally friendly and can provide high social benefits.

Download or read book She Is written by ElsaMarie D'Silva and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-11-24 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2021 is the beginning of the ‘decade of action’ to realise the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. It is imperative that every single person understands the goals, becomes familiar with them and takes individual and collective action to realise them if we want to live a quality life.SDG 5 in particular talks about Gender Equality which in our view is central to the realisation of the SDGs. Unfortunately in India, women in leadership positions are not visible and the numbers do not stack up. We have less than 10% representation of women in the State Legislative Assembly, 14% in Parliament, about 24% in the formal labour force which is declining year on year. If you cannot see her, you cannot be her. This book aims to showcase the journeys of women leaders in their respective fields and also in the realisation of the 17 SDGs through their work. We have scientists, police women, judges and business entrepreneurs who have shared their failures and successes. Through their unique perspectives they have shared on how despite one’s backgrounds one can achieve one’s goals, overcome socio-cultural barriers and contribute to the collective good.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1994, The Wealth of Communities presents the stories of ten communities from Philippines to Poland, from Los Angeles to Zimbabwe, where they are making intelligent and sustainable use of the world around them. It brings case studies of reviving depleted fisheries; finding novel ways of waste disposal; controlling industrial pollution; and replanting forests, to show how they are shaping their own destinies and meeting their own needs while at the same time protecting the environment in the face of hardship and opposition. The Wealth of Communities is a book about hope and ingenuity, written in a vivid and memorable style to which the accompanying photographs lend immediacy and depth. In an age of climate crisis, these ten tales will pave the way for the success of future ventures, and they are a tonic for hard times
