This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiple community collaboration to manage water supply systems among rural communities is fast gaining prominence in rural development literature. It is increasingly difficult for individual communities to provide safe and clean drinking water to their residents due to challenges such as the lack of human and financial capacity, degrading water infrastructure, and high capital investment cost for water infrastructure. This situation could be worsened by challenges typical of rural areas such as declining, aging populations, and the lack of economies of scale. Using a case study approach, my research looks at the prospects in adopting a regional approach to manage water supply systems, particularly with the Newfoundland and Labrador context. A regional approach is defined in this research as any form of collaboration or partnership motivated by common interests, needs or challenges, and permissible by geography to share water supply systems among neighboring communities to ensure clean and safe water supply. This study was situated in the Strait of Belle Isle region in the Great Northern Peninsula in Newfoundland. The study reveals some potentials in the case study region such as sufficient headwaters, the existence of clusters of communities, existing service-sharing initiatives, and the strong social capital that can support a regional water management approach. When these potentials are explored, a regional water system could help address the many water challenges in the region. However, there are noteworthy factors that could impede its implementation: the impacts of place-based dynamics, human and financial capacities, administrative disparities between various scales of communities, and the need for upper-level government's support. Moreover, the findings illustrate that water researchers, governments, and communities need to consider and make provisions to incorporate these conditions when developing water policies that fully realize the benefits of a regional water management approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study included: • An initial desktop evaluation of background information relating to the disinfection of drinking water; • An extensive field program; • The development of a disinfection infrastructure database, CT calculator, and four GIS shapefiles; • An evaluation of the level of compliance with the provincial Standards for the Bacteriological Quality of Drinking Water and recommended disi [...] Topics included the effects of source water quality on pathogen levels; common pathogens found in surface and GUDI water sources; the chemistry of chlorine disinfection; chlorine decay; the development and application of the CT and log reduction concepts; and the formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs). [...] Despite the many successes of the MBSAP, the residents of many of the over 500 small and rural communities in the province still lack reliable access to clean and safe drinking water. [...] The Sustainable Options Report and Best Management Practices for the Control of Disinfection Water Systems in Newfoundland and Labrador, both published in 2009, provide a number of recommendations for the improvement of the design, operation, maintenance, and monitoring of existing small systems to minimize the formation of DBPs while ensuring adequate pathogen inactivation. [...] The deliverables for the project include the Community Disinfection Infrastructure Database (CDID), a disinfection compliance calculation spreadsheet, four GIS shapefiles showing the location and properties of important components of the disinfection and distribution systems in each participating community, and a report summarizing the findings of the study.

Download or read book Examining Policy Implementation Gaps in Source Water Protection in Newfoundland and Labrador written by Seth Bomangsaan Eledi and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Source water protection (SWP) has gained importance in the literature related to water resources, with the general knowledge that drinking water sources can be more easily, economically and safely guarded from pollution through SWP than by remedying water sources after they have been contaminated. In addition to the actions of citizens, SWP requires policy commitments from government including regulatory activity. However, results of prior studies have suggested that gaps exist between policy and regulations and the reality of practices in communities of rural Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). Previous studies suggest that these gaps are due to the limitations in various kinds capacity at both local and provincial levels but suggest that further research is needed to better understand these limitations within the NL context. This research sought to identify the key factors in the context of NL that deter implementation of SWP measures and to explore options for addressing these factors. In particular barriers to implementation were examined using a four part capacity framework, including: institutional, technical/human, financial and social capacities. Data collection methods included document review, reanalysis of survey data and telephone interviews across six case study communities with varied levels of compliance to SWP policies and regulations. Data analysis was done through categorization and coding using Nvivo software followed by pattern analysis. As suggested in past research, areas of concern identified in this study include monitoring activities within protected water supply areas, uncertified drinking water operators, and limited watershed planning, because of limitations in local government's ability to implement their SWP responsibilities under provincial regulations and policy. The study found deficiencies in all four capacity categories and contributes to enhancing the understanding of these challenges within SWP policy implementation and drinking water management in rural NL. Finally, the study's recommendation for addressing implementation gaps in SWP policy and regulations in NL include: adequate financial support for SWP; expanded communication, education and awareness initiatives; increased community involvement and participation and collaboration among the various actors involved, and strengthening monitoring and enforcement efforts.
Download or read book Service Provision and Rural Sustainability written by Greg Halseth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Access to quality services and community infrastructure are vital parts of supporting sustainable and resilient rural and small town places. Renewing outdated infrastructure and supporting the delivery of services in rural communities present significant challenges from the constrained fiscal and policy realities of the 21st century. Drawing upon contributors from five Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, this book describes innovative service delivery and community infrastructure models that are appropriate to the contemporary rural and resource-dependent regions of developed economies. The examples show that an entrepreneurial approach to service delivery and infrastructure provision by local organizations and governments is needed. Critical economic and community development supports are crucial to assist creative and innovative sets of solutions that work for small communities. Chapters in this book argue that community development foundations for resilient rural and small town communities and regions must be co-constructed and co-delivered in partnership by both local and senior government actors, in terms of both policy and committed resources. This volume will be extremely valuable for students, scholars, and community development practitioners exploring policy-making, government initiatives, and community service provision in rural and small town places.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drinking water provides an efficient source for the spread of gastrointestinal microbial pathogens capable of causing serious human disease. The massive death toll and burden of disease worldwide caused by unsafe drinking water is a compelling reason to value the privilege of having safe drinking water delivered to individual homes. On rare occasions, that privilege has been undermined in affluent nations by waterborne disease outbreaks traced to the water supply. Using the rich and detailed perspectives offered by the evidence and reports from the Canadian public inquiries into the Walkerton (2000) and North Battleford (2001) outbreaks to develop templates for understanding their key dimensions, over 60 waterborne outbreaks from 15 affluent countries over the past 30 years are explored as individual case studies. Recurring themes and patterns are revealed and the critical human dimensions are highlighted suggesting insights for more effective and more individualized preventive strategies, personnel training, management, and regulatory control. Safe Drinking Water aims to raise understanding and awareness of those factors that have most commonly contributed to or caused drinking-water-transmitted disease outbreaks - essentially a case-history analysis within the multi-barrier framework. It contains detailed analysis of the failures underlying drinking-water-transmitted disease epidemics that have been documented in the open literature, by public inquiry, in investigation reports, in surveillance databases and other reliable information sources. The book adopts a theme of 'converting hindsight into foresight', to inform drinking-water and health professionals including operators, managers, engineers, chemists and microbiologists, regulators, as well as undergraduates and graduates at specialty level. Key Features: Contains details and perspectives of major outbreaks not widely known or understood beyond those directly involved in the investigations. Technical and scientific background associated with case studies is offered in an accessible summary form. Does not require specialist training or experience to comprehend the details of the numerous outbreaks reviewed. By providing a broad-spectrum review using a consistent approach, several key recurring themes are revealed that offer insights for developing localized, tailor-made prevention strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward More Sustainable Infrastructure: Project Evaluation for Planners and Engineers provides readers a framework for understanding and evaluating infrastructure projects to improve their performance and sustainability, taking into account not only the financial and economic issues, but also the social and environmental impacts that affect the sustainability of infrastructure. Based on a course designed developed by the author over ten years at M.I.T., this text demonstrates how to apply the basic methods of engineering economics in evaluating major infrastructure projects and also demonstrates how these same techniques can be useful with many routine business and personal decisions. It introduces students to project management, system performance, concepts of sustainability, methods of engineering economics, and provides numerous case studies, examples, and exercises based upon real world problems. This text fills a void in the education of many planners and engineering students, namely an understanding of why major infrastructure projects are undertaken, how they are structured and evaluated, and how they are financed. Toward More Sustainable Infrastructure: Project Evaluation for Planners and Engineers prepares readers to evaluate projects based upon an appreciation of the needs of society, the potential for sustainable development, and recognition of the problems that may result from poorly conceived or poorly implemented projects and programs.
