Download or read book Groundwater Resources of the World and Their Use written by Igorʹ Semenovich Zekt︠s︡er and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph represents many years of groundwater data accumulation by a large number of noted hydrogeologists located throughout the world. It represents a multicultural approach to groundwater resources and their use. As a result, many of the fundamental concepts in hydrogeology are interpreted slightly differently in other countries. In fact, there are a number of hydrogeologic phenomena introduced that for the most part have not been presented internationally. Since various cultures review the science of hydrogeology with their own nuances, a substantial effort was made to provide classic references in the science of hydrogeology. The focus of the monograph was to present data and scientific principals, which are relevant to groundwater use in each of the countries. This monograph represents a major undertaking by hydrologists and hydrogeologists around the world. Although the fundamental groundwater resource data may change slowly over time, the groundwater use data is rapidly changing. Consulting hydrogeologists, engineers, chemists, geologists, biologists, health officials, and government environmental administrators will find this baseline document of substantial value. It is fully anticipated that this book will serve as the first addition of a series on groundwater resources of the world and their use.

Download or read book La protection de l environnement marin en droit international written by Fabrice Apata and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thèse de Master de l’année 2015 dans le domaine Droit - Droit public / Autres, note: 14/20, Université Félix Houphouët-Boigny (Université Félix Houphouët-Boigny), langue: Français, résumé: On aborde la normalisation voir la régularisation du traitement international de l’environnement en partant d’une perspective transfrontalière. La question environnementale devient alors une problématique universelle, objet de tous les débats, même si en ces temps, les pollutions demeuraient encore relativement localisées à certains éléments de la nature comme les cours d’eaux d’importance internationale. Il s’agit alors d’appréhender la question de la protection de l’environnement marin par le droit international. Résultant de la complexité des relations entre l’homme et la nature (qui constitue d’ailleurs son cadre de vie), il apparait nécessaire de réguler les rapports de celui-ci avec cette dernière pour sa survie existentielle mais aussi et surtout pour la préservation des droits (à la vie) des générations futures. La nécessité de préciser les contours de la notion d’environnement marin peut s’expliquer et se justifier par toute une série de notions voisines renvoyant de manière fort utile à la même réalité -de préservation de la vie présente et future par la pratique de l’équité intergénérationnelle- en partant de : écologie, nature, espace maritime, biodiversité, ressources halieutiques, minières... et aboutissant à la notion synthétique de développement durable. La notion d’environnement marin est donc toute aussi vaste que l’espace auquel il s’applique. L’environnement s’appréhende comme une notion polysémique. Du point de vue de la littérature, l’expression environnement signifie l’ensemble des éléments naturels et artificiels qui entourent un individu humain, animal ou végétal ou une espèce. Aussi apparait-elle comme la composition des éléments objectifs et subjectifs qui constituent le cadre de vie de l’individu. Vu sous cet angle, l’environnement demeure une notion superficielle dans la mesure où elle est présentée comme un phénomène matériel et statique dont l’existence semble à première vue éternelle. Elle serait non évolutive, non dégradable car cette définition littérale établie une relation de passivité de l’homme avec cette dernière. Or l’homme est un être insatiable et abusant de son voisin environnement. En tant qu’unique être doué de raison, il a toujours eu un ascendant sur la nature, selon une conception anthropocentriste.

Download or read book International Environmental Law and Naval War The Effect of Marine Safety and Pollution Conventions During International Armed Conflict written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent international conflicts have raised fundamental questions about the relationship between international law and armed conflict. The notion that the rules of general international environmental law continue to apply during armed conflict is now well accepted, but the principles that are usually cited remain at a very high level of abstraction. In this paper, the author, a legal adviser in the Office of the Prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, The Hague, examines the extent to which international law has developed more detailed rules to protect the environment in international armed conflict. After a discussion of the main legal issues, the author focuses on the marine environment, examining the relationship between naval warfare, on one hand, and multilateral environmental treaties on marine safety and the prevention of marine pollution, on the other. She argues that the majority of these treaties do not apply during armed conflict, either because war damage is expressly excluded or because the treaties do not apply to warships. As for the treaties that are in principle applicable during armed conflict, her analysis shows that, under international law, belligerent and neutral states have the legal right to suspend those treaties, wholly or in part. The author concludes that very few of the treaties considered take the new law of armed conflict into account and that there remains a need for more detailed rules on environmental standards for military operations. The paper concludes with an extensive bibliography of journal articles, books, manuals, monographs, symposia and conference reports, selected special reports, and selected official documents and publications.

Download or read book Competing Norms in the Law of Marine Environmental Protection written by Henrik Ringbom and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 1997-10-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of global instruments affecting the law of marine environmental protection--both `soft' and `hard' law--grows constantly. Regional organizations have become increasingly concerned with matters affecting traditional freedoms of the seas. As a result, the law in this area has rapidly expanded, often creating competing or conflicting rules. Competing Norms in the Law of Marine Environmental Protection contains edited versions of the papers presented at a conference in the andÅland Islands, Finland, in August 1996, convened by the Department of Law of andÅbo Akademi University, Finland. It provides a detailed examination of current legal issues relating to the variety of rules and rule-makers in the field of marine environmental protection. It then goes further, relating the recent developments to international law in a wider context. The legal regime regulating ship safety and pollution prevention provides an excellent illustration of contemporary trends of international law in general and of the law of the sea and international environmental law in particular.

Download or read book Research Handbook on International Marine Environmental Law written by Rosemary Rayfuse and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative Handbook examines the current state of and the future challenges for international law in addressing the key activities that pose threats to the marine environment. It provides a critical analysis of, and constructive solutions for, the international legal regime for the protection of the marine environment and identifies areas of vital research need for the future. The in-depth chapters, written by emerging and established experts in their fields, explore the legal framework for protection of the marine environment and look at issues such as pollution, seabed activities, and climate change as well as discussing the protection of marine biodiversity and considering regional approaches to the protection of the marine environment. Each chapter goes beyond a survey of existing law to identify the shortcomings in the legal regime and areas of critical research needed to address these shortcomings. This timely book provides significant insights into contemporary issues surrounding the efficacy of the regime created by the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention and details the further work needed to ensure the design and implementation of effective regulation and management of human activities that affect the marine environment. Students and academics researching in the law of the sea and environmental law will find the Handbook central to their subject areas. The analyses and reform proposals are an invaluable resource for government and policy practitioners, as well as IGOs and NGOs involved in marine environmental issues.
