Download or read book Water Management in New Zealand s Canterbury Region written by Bryan R. Jenkins and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-06 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is designed to achieve two major purposes. The first is to describe the developments in water management policy in the Canterbury Region of New Zealand. The strategic approach, the collaborative engagement, and, the nested adaptive systems approach represent a paradigm shift in water management in New Zealand. The second is to delineate the sustainability framework that underpins the Canterbury approach. The framework is based on the concept of developing sustainability strategies to address critical failure pathways. While the focus of the book is on Canterbury, comparative applications of the framework to issues in other parts of New Zealand and international issues are proposed. The book can be used in at least two ways. The first is the application of a sustainability framework to the management of water in Canterbury region. The second is the exposition of a sustainability framework that can be applied to the management of water in a region with the application to Canterbury as an illustrative case study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water Crises and Governance critically examines the relationship between water crises and governance in the face of challenges to provide water for growing human demand and environmental needs. Water crises threaten the assumptions and accepted management practices of water users, managers and policymakers. In developed and developing world contexts from North America and Australasia, to Latin America, Africa and China, existing institutions and governance arrangements have unintentionally provoked water crises while shaping diverse, often innovative responses to management dilemmas. This volume brings together original field-based studies by social scientists investigating water crises and their implications for governance. Contributors to this collection find that water crises degrade environments, place untenable burdens on stakeholders, and produce or exacerbate social conflict, undermining ecological and social conditions that sustain effective collaboration. At the same time, water crises can promote institutional change that "resets" governance, promoting unusual and creative responses appropriate for local contexts. The studies in this volume provide evidence that, while water crises pose serious threats to environments and societies, they also provide opportunities to learn from experience and recraft water governance with coherent visions of more ecologically and socially sustainable futures. This volume was originally published as a special issue of Society & Natural Resources.

Book excerpt: Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere is New Zealand's most nutrient-polluted lake. It is also a crucial wetland habitat of its type in New Zealand, providing essential residences for a broad range of wildlife species. To NgÄ i Tahu (the local iwi), it represents a significant mahinga kai and a necessary source of mana. To all New Zealanders, it once was an important location for both commercial and recreational activities. A yearning to learn more about Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere and contribute to its betterment is the motivation for this thesis. A cause of The Lake's pollution is the restricted drainage and lack of a natural outlet, despite the fact The Lake is in close proximity to the sea. More recently, it has been ravaged by the nearby dairy farming industry, with harmful phosphates and nitrates leaking into the river beds that feed the lake. Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere has been temporarily opened to the ocean for generations to counteract these problems. Proposals to fix Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere have failed because they do not meet local stakeholders' needs. The proposed construction of a permanent outlet designed to clean the Lake was vetoed because of the potential loss of mana for the local rÅ«nanga, Te Taumutu. They have traditionally relied on the seasonal lake opening as a source for kaimoana. Nutrient restrictions for farmers introduced by local councils will partially reduce nutrients in the long term but come at a substantial economic cost to local farmers and the surrounding community. Thus an alternative scheme needs to be proposed. This thesis proposes a functional architectural solution that rejuvenates the lake while balancing the needs of these stakeholders. The solution consists of three interventions: a modular lake farming system designed to remove nutrients from The Lake and provide a viable economic alternative for farmers. The second, a working village intended to complement the lake farming operation. The third, a hybrid landscape of mechanical and environmental infrastructure (constructed from non-invasive materials) designed to control the height and salinity of The Lake while also maintaining mana for the iwi by allowing them to harvest kaimoana in the same way they have for generations. All three interventions are to be interwoven to encourage agri-tourism in the local region. At its core, this thesis documents the processes, research, and designs undertaken to find an architectural solution to rejuvenate The Lake. It also addresses water pollution issues through cost-effective, innovative, and responsible business practices and supporting architectural infrastructure. This thesis proposes a new floating farming industry in New Zealand, reimagines the systems and processes, and develops the necessary infrastructure through architectural processes.

Download or read book Environmental Impact IV written by J. Casares and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprising a collection of papers from the 4th International Conference on Environmental and Economic Impact on Sustainable Development, the research studies included in this book consider the impact of economic constraints on the environment, taking into account the social aspects as well as the over-use of natural resources. The papers examine issues related to whether some forms of development are compatible with environmental protection, particularly in cases of possible serious contamination and toxicity. Uncontrolled development can result in damage to the environment in terms of the release of toxic substances and hazardous waste. Addressing problems of great importance, this book examines more constructive and progressive approaches to ensure sustainability. A major motivation is to learn from past failure, to avoid repeating similar mistakes, while attempting to prevent emerging threats to environmental and ecological systems. Fundamental to these concepts are the analysis of the inherent risk and the development of appropriate strategies.
