Download or read book Technological Change and the City written by Patrick Nicol Troy and published by Federation Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the complex relationships between cities, technology, economic factors, environmental factors and social factors. It points out how the form and structure of today's Australian cities, the conditions in our cities, and the choices about how we want our cities to be in the future are dependent on the decisions, practices, activities and investments made yesterday and today. Reporting research on the major effects on the city of changes in the retailing industry, land use and transport, water sewerage and drainage services, communications, manufacturing and building, it describes inter alia how the information age, global economics, innovation in the production system and environmental considerations are changing not only the way life is lived and business is done in the city, but also how urban space is used and organised, and how in turn these changes raise important social questions and challenge the very meaning of what constitutes a city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal Reservoir Technology and Applications presents the analyses showing that the world is not running out of water, but water is running out of river mouths—we need to work to harness this resource. Compared with inland water storages and desalination technology, coastal reservoirs are a nature-based water solution without disturbing the environment. This book mainly answers the questions of what the coastal reservoir technology is, where we should construct coastal reservoirs, and how to supply sufficient, high-quality and affordable water to the world with minimum environmental/social impacts. Chapter 1 reviews modes of water resources development in the history along with current problems and reasons. Chapter 2 discusses the definition of coastal reservoirs, its classifications and applications, and the SPP/downstream water management strategy. Other chapters analyse water crisis in every continent, as well as their water solutions. The possible coastal reservoir for each major river is suggested as well. Without freshwater, no one can survive. Likewise, without sufficient, high-quality and affordable freshwater, no community can achieve sustainable development. However, water is also a killer when it is too much (floods), too dirty (pollution), and too turbid. Different from other books, this resource shows how to solve these water problems. Coastal reservoirs and SPP strategy are suggested to develop floodwater in a safe way in coastal and inland regions, respectively. Solution of water-food-energy-ecosystem nexus needs a paradigm shift from upstream to downstream water management, i.e., from mountainous dams to coastal reservoirs, which conserves the precious, clean freshwater in seawater environment. Provides an analysis of every large river in the world to help users determine the feasibility of using a coastal reservoir in each location Presents a global coverage, including case studies where this technology has already been implemented Authored by a world expert on coastal reservoirs, with several patents in the area

Download or read book Coalbed Methane Scientific Environmental and Economic Evaluation written by M. Mastalerz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coalbed gas has been considered a hazard since the early 19th century when the first mine gas explosions occurred in the United States in 1810 and France in 1845. In eastern Australia methane-related mine disasters occurred late in the 19th century with hundreds of lives lost in New South Wales, and as recently as 1995 in Queensland's Bowen Basin. Ventilation and gas drainage technologies are now in practice. However, coalbed methane recently is becoming more recognized as a potential source of energy; rather than emitting this gas to the atmosphere during drainage of gassy mines it can be captured and utilized. Both economic and environmental concerns have sparked this impetus to capture coalbed methane. The number of methane utilization projects has increased in the United States in recent years as a result, to a large extent, of development in technology in methane recovery from coal seams. Between 1994 and 1997, the number of mines in Alabama, Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia recovering and utilizing methane increased from 1 0 to 17. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that close to 49 billion cubic feet (Bet) of methane was recovered in 1996, meaning that this amount was not released into the atmosphere. It is estimated that in the same year total emissions of methane equaled 45. 7 Bcf. Other coal mines are being investigated at present, many ofwhich appear to be promising for the development of cost-effective gas recovery.

Book excerpt: Sumary: In this valuable contribution to the field of river basin management, Brebbia (Wessex Institute of Technology, UK) compiles 35 papers from a conference that presented recent advances in all aspects of hydrology, including ecology, environmental management, flood plains and wetlands. Academics and practitioners address the planning, design, and management of riverine systems, including the development of software modeling and GIS tools for predicting water flow, water quality, sediment transport, and ecological processes. Case studies of national, regional, and international challenges, priorities, and agreements treat topics including erosion control systems, climate change, and conflicts between hydropower generation and fish habitat interests. Illustrations include drinking water catchment areas, hydrographs, and areas of pre- and post-flooding/restoration.
