Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El agua es esencial para la vida. Ningún ser vivo sobre la Tierra puede sobrevivir sin agua. El agua resulta indispensable para la salud y el bienestar humanos así como para la preservación del medio ambiente. Tanto la escasez como la baja calidad del agua y un saneamiento deficiente afectan negativamente a la seguridad de los alimentos, las opciones de sustento y las oportunidades de educación, sobre todo las de las familias más pobres del planeta. Más allá de cubrir las necesidades básicas del ser humano, el abastecimiento de agua y los servicios de saneamiento, así como el uso que hacemos de los recursos hídricos, son factores determinantes para un desarrollo sostenible. Además de los problemas relacionados con la cantidad disponible de agua, también se presentan problemas relacionados con la calidad del agua. La contaminación de las fuentes de agua constituye uno de los principales problemas que afrontan los usuarios de los recursos hídricos y supone una amenaza para el mantenimiento de los ecosistemas naturales. Por lo general, la calidad del agua se determina comparando las características físicas y químicas de una muestra de agua con unas directrices de calidad del agua o estándares. En el caso del agua potable, estas normas se establecen para asegurar un suministro de agua limpia y saludable para el consumo humano y, de este modo, proteger la salud de las personas. Estas normas se basan normalmente en unos niveles de toxicidad científicamente aceptables tanto para los humanos como para los organismos acuáticos. Gracias a un mejor entendimiento del conocimiento científico, la comunidad internacional ha empezado a apreciar en mayor medida los beneficios derivados de los ecosistemas acuáticos, pues el agua es un factor determinante en el desarrollo económico y social y, al mismo tiempo, cumple la función básica de mantener la integridad del entorno natural. Hace ya unos años que la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas reconoció explícitamente el derecho humano al agua y al saneamiento, reafirmando que un agua potable limpia y el saneamiento son esenciales para la realización de todos los derechos humanos. La Resolución exhorta a los Estados y organizaciones internacionales a proporcionar recursos financieros, a propiciar la capacitación y la transferencia de tecnología para ayudar a los países, en particular a los países en vías de desarrollo, a proporcionar un suministro de agua potable y saneamiento saludable, limpio, accesible y asequible para todos. El estado del saneamiento constituye un poderoso indicador del desarrollo humano en cualquier comunidad, cuando es mejorado también conlleva ventajas para la salud pública, los medios de vida y la dignidad de las familias.Finalmente debemos matizar que la presente guía es una ayuda rápida y eficaz en constante proceso de optimización para cada nueva edición de la misma, acorde a la mejor calidad y satisfacción posible de nuestros seguidores y amigos lectores.
Download or read book Identification Guide of Freshwater Macroinvertebrates of Spain written by Javier Oscoz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of the European Commission’s concern for the status of continental waters, and as a clear reflection of the notion of water as heritage to be conserved, in the year 2000 the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/CE) was enacted, its goal being to establish a framework to protect water and the different aquatic ecosystems by requiring the Member States to achieve a good ecological status in all their waters by 2015. Like all ecosystems, freshwater ecosystems undergo physical, chemical and energy-related changes, both of natural and anthropogenic origin. These disturbances affect the organisms living in them and those who utilize their resources. Therefore, evaluating these changes has become a very important task in order to better understand aquatic systems. The study and analysis of the ecological status of these ecosystems in relation to their conservation status and water quality is thus a fundamental tool for a more efficient and rational management of their resources, that is, a management that does not threaten the ecosystem. The present guide for the identification of Spanish freshwater macroinvertebrates aims to facilitate the job of those who go to great lengths to identify them in order to then determine biotic indices. It is not the aim of this book to serve as a zoological treaty, nor does it claim to add new information on the biology or the ecology of the taxa covered. This book is, simply, a working tool explicitly designed to facilitate the identification of the Spanish macroinvertebrates and the subsequent computing of biotic indices.

Download or read book Good and Cheap written by Leanne Brown and published by Workman Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A perfect and irresistible idea: A cookbook filled with delicious, healthful recipes created for everyone on a tight budget. While studying food policy as a master’s candidate at NYU, Leanne Brown asked a simple yet critical question: How well can a person eat on the $4 a day given by SNAP, the U.S. government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program informally known as food stamps? The answer is surprisingly well: Broiled Tilapia with Lime, Spicy Pulled Pork, Green Chile and Cheddar Quesadillas, Vegetable Jambalaya, Beet and Chickpea Salad—even desserts like Coconut Chocolate Cookies and Peach Coffee Cake. In addition to creating nutritious recipes that maximize every ingredient and use economical cooking methods, Ms. Brown gives tips on shopping; on creating pantry basics; on mastering certain staples—pizza dough, flour tortillas—and saucy extras that make everything taste better, like spice oil and tzatziki; and how to make fundamentally smart, healthful food choices. The idea for Good and Cheap is already proving itself. The author launched a Kickstarter campaign to self-publish and fund the buy one/give one model. Hundreds of thousands of viewers watched her video and donated $145,000, and national media are paying attention. Even high-profile chefs and food writers have taken note—like Mark Bittman, who retweeted the link to the campaign; Francis Lam, who called it “Terrific!”; and Michael Pollan, who cited it as a “cool kickstarter.” In the same way that TOMS turned inexpensive, stylish shoes into a larger do-good movement, Good and Cheap is poised to become a cookbook that every food lover with a conscience will embrace.

Readers will gain practical insight on real life benchmarking practices and will benefit from the experiences gained in some of the leading benchmarking projects of the water industry (including the IWA-WSAA benchmarking efforts, the European Benchmarking Co-operation and the several benchmarking projects carried out in Austria and Central Europe).

Baird (2012) Benchmarking: An International Journal 19:2.
