Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El acceso al agua y al saneamiento es uno de los mayores retos que confronta la humanidad en el siglo XXI. Hoy por hoy, mas 900 millones de personas sobreviven sin acceso a un agua en condiciones, al tiempo que mas de dos mil setecientos millones de personas carecen de infraestructuras de saneamiento adecuadas. El resultado de estas condiciones de vida tan lamentables es la muerte de mas de 10 000 personas cada dia, De estas, la inmensa mayoria son ninos. La Organizacion Mundial de la Salud estima que un millon seiscientos mil ninos de menos de 5 anos mueren al ano a causa de la diarrea, una enfermedad que se puede erradicar con facilidad con programas de agua, saneamiento e higiene. Las diarreas son tambien la primera causa de desnutricion por causas patologicas. El acceso universal al agua y al saneamiento, y en definitiva a una vida digna, ha sido uno de lo asuntos mas discutidos en el pasado foro mundial del agua de Estambul de 2008. Accion contra el Hambre desea que el agua sea un derecho humano, un derecho fundamental, reconocido por el conjunto de la comunidad internacional. El acceso al agua segura no es solamente un factor importante para la salud publica, si no que tambien condiciona el desarrollo socio-economico de la poblacion de un pais: la agricultura, ganaderia, industria, comercio y la vida diaria misma dependen de un acceso al agua en cantidad y calidad suficientes; su carencia, ademas de ser causa principal de pobreza, origina retrasos en el desarrollo de cualquier comunidad. Este libro se basa en la experiencia en agua, saneamiento e higiene que la red internacional de Accion contra el Hambre ha adquirido sobre el terreno a lo largo de mas de 30 anos de trabajo en cooperacion internacional y ayuda humanitaria. Su objetivo es plasmar en un unico texto conocimientos, tecnicas y criterios que han demostrado su utilidad practica e impacto positivo en los problemas globales antes mencionados. Intenta ademas consolidar metodologias y herramientas para la ejecucion de actividades de cooperacion y de promocion de comunidades y personas vulnerables. Se pretende asi que este libro sea una herramienta de formacion y capacitacion de los equipos que trabajan en el terreno, un instrumento que ayude a alcanzar las metas de cobertura de las necesidades mas elementales, las de autosuficiencia y las de desarrollo pleno por medio de, entre otros factures, el empoderamiento de las personas protagonistas de su desarrollo.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Download or read book Cadillac Desert written by Marc Reisner and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1993-06-01 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I’ve been thinking a lot about Cadillac Desert in the past few weeks, as the rain fell and fell and kept falling over California, much of which, despite the pouring heavens, seems likely to remain in the grip of a severe drought. Reisner anticipated this moment. He worried that the West’s success with irrigation could be a mirage — that it took water for granted and didn’t appreciate the precariousness of our capacity to control it.” – Farhad Manjoo, The New York Times, January 20,2023 "The definitive work on the West's water crisis." --Newsweek The story of the American West is the story of a relentless quest for a precious resource: water. It is a tale of rivers diverted and dammed, of political corruption and intrigue, of billion-dollar battles over water rights, of ecological and economic disaster. In his landmark book, Cadillac Desert, Marc Reisner writes of the earliest settlers, lured by the promise of paradise, and of the ruthless tactics employed by Los Angeles politicians and business interests to ensure the city's growth. He documents the bitter rivalry between two government giants, the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in the competition to transform the West. Based on more than a decade of research, Cadillac Desert is a stunning expose and a dramatic, intriguing history of the creation of an Eden--an Eden that may only be a mirage. This edition includes a new postscript by Lawrie Mott, a former staff scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, that updates Western water issues over the last two decades, including the long-term impact of climate change and how the region can prepare for the future.
