Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, by graduate researchers working in urban agriculture, examines concrete strategies to integrate city farming into the urban landscape. Drawing on original field work in cities across the rapidly urbanizing global south, the book examines the contribution of urban agriculture and city farming to livelihoods and food security. Case studies cover food production diversification for robust and secure food provision; the socio-economic and agronomic aspects of urban composting; urban agriculture as a viable livelihood strategy; strategies for integrating city farming into urban landscapes; and the complex social-ecological networks of urban agriculture. Other case studies look at public health aspects including the impact of pesticides, micro-biological risks, pollution and water contamination on food production and people. Ultimately the book calls on city farmers, politicians, environmentalists and regulatory bodies to work together to improve the long term sustainability of urban farming as a major, secure source of food and employment for urban populations.

This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 1761 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume includes the papers presented during the 1st Euro-Mediterranean Conference for Environmental Integration (EMCEI) which was held in Sousse, Tunisia in November 2017. This conference was jointly organized by the editorial office of the Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration in Sfax, Tunisia and Springer (MENA Publishing Program) in Germany. It aimed to give a more concrete expression to the Euro-Mediterranean integration process by supplementing existing North-South programs and agreements with a new multilateral scientific forum that emphasizes in particular the vulnerability and proactive remediation of the Euro-Mediterranean region from an environmental point of view. This volume gives a general and brief overview on current research focusing on emerging environmental issues and challenges and its applications to a variety of problems in the Euro-Mediterranean zone and surrounding regions. It contains over five hundred and eighty carefully refereed short contributions to the conference. Topics covered include (1) innovative approaches and methods for environmental sustainability, (2) environmental risk assessment, bioremediation, ecotoxicology, and environmental safety, (3) water resources assessment, planning, protection, and management, (4) environmental engineering and management, (5) natural resources: characterization, assessment, management, and valorization, (6) intelligent techniques in renewable energy (biomass, wind, waste, solar), (7) sustainable management of marine environment and coastal areas, (8) remote sensing and GIS for geo-environmental investigations, (9) environmental impacts of geo/natural hazards (earthquakes, landslides, volcanic, and marine hazards), and (10) the environmental health science (natural and social impacts on Human health). Presenting a wide range of topics and new results, this edited volume will appeal to anyone working in the subject area, including researchers and students interested to learn more about new advances in environmental research initiatives in view of the ever growing environmental degradation in the Euro-Mediterranean region, which has turned environmental and resource protection into an increasingly important issue hampering sustainable development and social welfare.
Download or read book Technologie des eaux residuaires written by Institut Fresenius and published by Springer. This book was released on 1990-10-19 with total page 1162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La collecte et l'évacuation des eaux résiduaires constituent l'un des principaux problèmes de notre époque. Dans le souci de contribuer à la formation et à la qualification des experts dans ce domaine, l'Institut Fresenius, Taunusstein et l'Institut de Recherches pour la Technologie de l'Eau (Forschungsinstitut für Wassertechnologie an der RWTH Aachen), Aix-la-Chapelle, ont, à la demande de la Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH, Eschborn, tenté de cerner tous les problèmes d'eaux usées revêtant une importance prioritaire à l'heure actuelle et de présenter divers éléments de solution. Le présent manuel ne se contente donc pas de transmettre des connaissances de base dans le domaine et l'évacuation des eaux résiduaires mais livre également des exemples concret et de nombreuses suggestions. Cet ouvrage contribue ainsi à une meilleure harmonisation technique des stratégies de développement dans le secteur de l'assainissement et fournit aux conseillers, bureaux d'ingéniérie et sociétés associées des éléments de base pour la discussion, l'étude et la réalisation de projets concrets.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au cours de cette thèse, les prévisions de la méthodologie d'Analyse de Cycle de Vie (ACV) sont améliorées, via l'exergie, pour l'analyse et l'éco-conception des procédés. Nous mettons l'accent sur le potentiel de l'analyse exergétique et de la Consommation d'Exergie Cumulée (CExC) dans l'évaluation du critère d'épuisement, de productivité et de recyclabilité des ressources naturelles. Dans ce cadre, les transferts de pollutions et les impacts environnementaux d'un système de traitement des eaux résiduaires (STEP) ont été analysés en relation avec l'exergie consommée (CExC) et de l'exergie détruite (étude a priori). L'étude montre que la décision est différente lorsque l'indicateur d'épuisement des ressources naturelles est basé sur la méthode CExC de celle basée sur la méthode CML. L'amélioration de l'éco-efficacité d'une STEP implique un recyclage des boues en agriculture. La stabilisation des boues par digestion anaérobie réduit le volume des boues et ainsi l'impact du transport en comparaison avec la stabilisation à la chaux. Toutefois, elle réduit le potentiel fertilisant des boues, d'une part, et augmente la consommation d'énergie et l'impact du réchauffement climatique à cause du traitement des retours en tête d'autre part. Bien que la valorisation du biogaz en cogénération réduise la dépendance énergétique de la STEP et améliore son éco-efficacité globale en comparaison avec le chaulage, elle n'offre pas la possibilité à un séchage des boues. Le séchage des boues constitue l'une des recommandations des agriculteurs, bien qu'il n'améliore pas le l'éco-efficacité globale de la STEP, en augmentant l'épuisement et l'exergie détruite des ressources brutes et du biogaz.

Download or read book Faecal Sludge Management written by Linda Strande and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that literally billions of residents in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are served by onsite sanitation systems (e.g. various types of latrines and septic tanks). Until recently, the management of faecal sludge from these onsite systems has been grossly neglected, partially as a result of them being considered temporary solutions until sewer-based systems could be implemented. However, the perception of onsite or decentralized sanitation technologies for urban areas is gradually changing, and is increasingly being considered as long-term, sustainable options in urban areas, especially in low- and middle-income countries that lack sewer infrastructures. This is the first book dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of the rapidly evolving field of faecal sludge management, and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management, and planning based on Sandecs 20 years of experience in the field. Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation addresses the organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge, and the current state of knowledge of treatment options, to the final end use or disposal of treated sludge. The book also presents important factors to consider when evaluating and upscaling new treatment technology options. The book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and practitioners in the field who have some basic knowledge of environmental and/or wastewater engineering.

Download or read book Beyond Scarcity written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water has always been a source of risks and opportunities in the Middle East and North Africa. Yet rapidly changing socioeconomic, political, and environmental conditions make water security a different, and more urgent, challenge than ever before. This report shows that achieving water security means much more than coping with water scarcity. It means managing water resources in a sustainable, efficient, and equitable way. It also involves delivering water services reliably and affordably, to reinforce relationships between service providers and water users and contribute to a renewed social contract. Water security also entails mitigating water-related risks such as floods and droughts. Water security is an urgent target, but it is also a target within reach. A host of potential solutions to the region’s water management challenges exist. To make these solutions work, clear incentives are needed to change the way water is managed, conserved, and allocated. To make these solutions work, countries in the region will also need to better engage water users, civil society, and youth. The failure of policies to address water challenges can have severe impacts on people’s well-being and political stability. The strategic question for the region is whether countries will act with foresight and resolve to strengthen water security, or whether they will wait to react to the inevitable disruptions of water crises.
