role of social media.
Social media plays an important role in promoting community participation in disaster management. It allows for quick information dissemination during emergencies, helps with disaster planning and training through gamification, and enables collaborative problem solving. Social media facilitates on-the-scene reporting and disaster assessments to help coordinate emergency responses. While traditional media use is declining, social media usage is rising worldwide and can be incorporated into integrated disaster management platforms to give citizens a greater role in preparing for and managing crises.
Core Elements of Environmental Rule of Law
Environmental rule of law (ERL) represents the efficient and effective functioning of environmental governance across multiple levels of institutions, sectors, and actors. Core elements of ERL include public participation in environmental decision making, which improves information available to decision makers, enhances implementation, avoids or resolves disputes, builds public support, and improves compliance. When discussing public participation, it is important to discuss access rights as a whole.
Role Of Media -Natural disaster management
This document discusses natural and man-made disasters that affect India, including floods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes, and industrial/chemical disasters. It notes that over 50% of India's land is vulnerable to earthquakes, 40 million hectares are vulnerable to floods, and 8% to cyclones. The document emphasizes the important role of communities, civil society, the private sector and media in disaster prevention efforts. It also outlines the role of media in pre-disaster management through awareness and education, during disasters through information sharing, and post-disaster through relief and recovery updates.
Environmental Governance
This document discusses various topics related to environmental governance including definitions of governance, good governance, global governance, and environmental governance. It contrasts the realist and liberalist perspectives on these topics. Some key issues of environmental governance are identified such as soil degradation, climate change, biodiversity loss, water issues, and ozone depletion. The roles of various environmental actors like international institutions, states, businesses, and NGOs are outlined. International environmental politics and the global environmental movement are also briefly described.

Hazard reduction strategies for flood vulnerable communities of anambra state...
This document summarizes a study on hazard reduction strategies for flood vulnerable communities in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study found that the 2012 floods had a major impact in Anambra State, displacing over 2.3 million people and killing 363. It analyzed the structure and operations of flood management agencies in Nigeria from the national to local levels. The study recommended sustainable strategies like improving coordination among agencies, developing flood maps and public participation techniques, building flood-resistant infrastructure, and empowering vulnerable communities through groups and capacity building. Adopting a multi-sector approach and reviewing agency policies and structures were also suggested to better mitigate flooding in Anambra State.
Global Environmental Governance4
Global environmental governance involves multi-level interactions between various actors including states, non-state organizations, and grassroots groups. Grassroots organizations have increasingly engaged in global governance by reframing global norms, connecting different issue areas, and developing new forms of representation and expertise. For example, transnational indigenous networks have influenced climate negotiations to advocate for control over climate funds and territorial rights. Grassroots groups challenge global governance through new representative forms emerging from the local level and direct collective action.
The Paris Agreement
This document contains quotes from world leaders advocating for action on climate change. President Obama challenged leaders to take bold action to close the emissions gap and reach an ambitious climate agreement. The UN Secretary-General called on leaders to bring bold pledges to innovate and deliver concrete emissions reductions. The executive secretary of the UNFCCC said this generation must take responsibility to address climate change through our knowledge of its consequences.

The document argues that environmental problems are often caused not by market failures, but by the lack of well-defined property rights and markets. It provides several examples where well-defined property rights and markets helped protect environmental resources, such as elephant populations in Zimbabwe being protected on private lands. The document also argues that centralized, political solutions advocated by many environmentalists often fail to adequately address environmental issues and can even make problems worse.
Environmental Governance
The document discusses different visions of environmental governance:
1) The market liberal vision sees economic prosperity and a good environment going hand in hand through market efficiency and corporate social responsibility.
2) The institutionalist vision agrees with embracing globalization but calls for a stronger global environmental regime with broader enforcement of rules.
3) The bio-environmental vision predicts future environmental doom due to unchecked human population growth and overconsumption, calling for population control and reduced consumption.
4) The social green vision proposes concepts like a steady state economy with constant human/capital levels and pursues environmental justice, local empowerment, and import substitution over exploitation by multinational corporations.

ROLE OF MEDIA IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT
The media plays an important role in disaster management by covering natural and human-made disasters and raising awareness. To effectively fulfill this role, disaster management organizations should establish direct relationships with media. Experience shows that regular interactions with media before a disaster improves information sharing and coordination during the response. The media can contribute by prioritizing disaster risk issues, facilitating early warning systems, increasing international donations, and improving coordination between policymakers and donors. Engaging youth volunteers in all phases of disaster management from preparedness to recovery can strengthen community resilience.

Buklod Tao DRR
Buklod Tao is a people's organization in the Philippines formed in 1996 to strengthen community disaster preparedness and environmental conservation. It has pursued three waves of mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into its poverty alleviation programs. The first wave from 1996-1997 focused on non-structural mitigation and helped communities realize their role in development. The second wave from 1997-1998 established community-based disaster risk management initiatives and equipped rescue teams. The third wave since 1998 has reinforced both structural and non-structural mitigation efforts, creating livelihoods and partnerships while undertaking mitigation measures like riverbank reinforcement and education programs.

Chapter 2 (exposure & vulnerability)
This chapter discusses key concepts related to vulnerability and risk from natural hazards. It defines exposure as the elements at risk from hazards, such as people, buildings and infrastructure. Vulnerability is defined as the susceptibility of exposure to harm from hazards, which can be physical, social, economic or environmental. Certain sectors of society are more vulnerable due to demographic factors like age, socioeconomic factors like wealth and education, and lack of community preparedness. The chapter outlines different types of vulnerability in more detail and provides examples to illustrate each type. It concludes with learning outcomes related to identifying elements of exposure, defining vulnerability, and analyzing why some sectors and structures are more at risk.

Managing Development in a Globalized World: Concepts, Processes, Institutions

Chapter 15: Environmental Protection
It is in man's heart that the life of nature's spectacle exists; to see it, one must feel it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Relevance, Rationale, and Context
Traditionally, environment referred to the surrounding in which a phenomenon existed or an event took place. Over
time, the concept has broadened considerably and now includes numerous aspects of social, technical, economic,
political, and psychological arrangements, activities, and outcomes. Environment refers principally to ecological
conditions, but is closely relevant to the quality of life and the management of natural resources (Buhrs and
Bartlett, 1993: 9). Modernization and technological advancement have accorded prominence in the move toward
development for many decades, and several countries have been making frantic efforts to achieve them.
Consequently, overemphasis on infrastructure development and ruthless exploitation of natural resources have
upset the ecological balance, and environmental protection and sustainability have emerged as a critical issue in
development.
Notes
The relevance of development to the environment is obvious. Many of the activities intended to foster
development have impacts on the environment. Rapid industrialization and urbanization, mechanization of
agriculture, construction of infrastructure, improvements in transportation facilities, and other measures are
accomplished at the cost of depletion of forests, overexploitation of natural resources, and diminishing of
agricultural land. In addition, the extensive use of fossil fuels, huge carbon emission, and.

Nairobi Informal Settlements_CC_Final Report_22Apr2016 (1)
This report summarizes research on climate resilience options for slums and informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya. It finds that population density exacerbates flood impacts within the slums. Analysis of rainfall data from four stations shows flooding occurs mainly during two rainy seasons and is associated with extreme short-term rainfall events as well as El Niño rains. Flooding hotspots were identified in all three studied slums. However, non-climatic factors like location in ecologically fragile areas and poor drainage and waste management also increase vulnerability. The report recommends adaptation actions including climate-proofed housing, flood early warning systems, climate-proofed infrastructure, cooperation between organizations, strengthened disaster response institutions, and education on risk reduction.

This document discusses the water-energy-food nexus and its relationship to human security. It argues that in insecure settings like crisis or post-conflict areas, ensuring access to basic resources like water, food and energy is crucial to stability and preventing conflicts from reigniting. A cross-cutting approach that considers interactions between these sectors can help maximize benefits and manage trade-offs. The example of Syria is discussed, where the ongoing conflict has severely disrupted access to food, water and energy, exacerbating a humanitarian crisis.

Environment for development
The document provides an overview and summary of key developments in sustainable development since the landmark 1987 report Our Common Future by the World Commission on Environment and Development. It discusses how the report emphasized integrating environmental, economic, and social issues in development decisions. It summarizes the major outcomes of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit which formalized an international framework for sustainable development, including the Rio Declaration and Agenda 21. While some progress has been made, serious barriers remain and environmental degradation continues to threaten development and human well-being.
Environment for development
Main messages It is 20 years since the report of the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED), Our Common Future, emphasized the need for a sustainable way of life which not only addresses current environmental challenges but also ensures a secure society well into the future. This chapter analyses the evolution of such ideas as well as global trends in relation to environment and socio-economic development.
The following are its main messages: The world has changed radically since 1987 – socially, economically and environmentally. Global population has grown by more than 1.7 billion, from about 5 billion people. The global economy has expanded and is now characterized by increasing globalization. Worldwide, GDP per capita (purchasing power parity) has increased from US$5 927 in 1987 to US$8 162 in 2004. However, growth has been distributed unequally between regions. Global trade has increased during the past 20 years, fuelled by globalization, better communication, and low transportation costs.
Technology has also changed. Communications have been revolutionized with the growth of telecommunications and the Internet. Worldwide, mobile phone subscribers increased from 2 people per 1 000 in 1990 to 220 per 1 000 in 2003. Internet use increased from 1 person per 1 000 in 1990 to 114 per 1 000 in 2003. Finally, political changes have also been extensive. Human population and economic growth has increased demand on resources. The World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) recognized 20 years ago that the environment, economic and social issues are interlinked. It recommended that the three be integrated into development decision making.
In defining sustainable development, the Commission acknowledged the need for both intra- and intergenerational equity – development that meets not only today’s human needs but also those of more people in the future. Changing drivers, such as population growth, economic activities and consumption patterns, have placed increasing pressure on the environment. Serious and persistent barriers to sustainable development remain. In the past 20 years, there has been limited integration of environment into development decision making.
Environmental degradation is therefore undermining development and threatens future development progress. Development is a process that enables people to better their well-being. Long-term development can only be achieved through sustainable management of various assets: financial, material, human, social and natural. Natural assets, including water, soils, plants and animals, underpin people’s livelihoods. Environmental degradation also threatens all aspects of human well-being. Environmental degradation has been demonstrably linked to human health problems, including some types of cancers, vector-borne diseases, emerging animal to human disease transfer, nutritional deficits and respiratory illnesses.
Part2 disaster-management-risk-mitigation
This document discusses the rationale for partnerships in disaster risk reduction efforts. It notes that addressing disasters requires a multi-disciplinary approach and partnerships between a wide range of stakeholders, including different levels of government, the private sector, NGOs, academics, and vulnerable communities. Some of the challenges to effective partnerships are fragmentation between groups, lack of understanding and respect between disciplines, and competitiveness over limited resources. Effective partnerships require overcoming these barriers through greater collaboration, coordination, and an integrated approach between disaster specialists and development workers. Governance challenges also exist, as different levels and departments within governments may have conflicting mandates and weak coordination.
Post 1The whole community” approach as described in the Nat
Post 1
The “whole community” approach as described in the National Preparedness Goal refers to the shared responsibility amongst governmental, non-governmental, public and private sector entities, communities and individuals to work together in order to ensure national security and promote resilient communities (FEMA.gov, 2015, p. 1-2). Meaning that individuals must not simply rely on the federal, state or local governments to ensure thier safety and security, but individuals must take thier own safety seriously. Furthermore, the problem does not go away with more funding. Appropriate guidance, laws, education, training, and equipment all play significant roles in national preparedness.
The concept of “whole community” is important when viewing both short- and long-term effects that natural and man-made disasters can have on a population. Hurricane Katrina is a perfect example of the lack of a "whole community approach" resulting in improper risk analysis and poor emergency planning. The substandard response and recovery efforts at the federal, state and community-level contributed to almost every issue negatively impacting this incident. Ultimately, there was no precedent for a natural disaster of that magnitude and community leaders and residents found themselves unprepared. There was no distinct chain of command to delegate resources for recovery and rescue operations. Breakdowns in coordination from the federal level to the local level were apparent. “State and local authorities understood the devastation but, due to destruction of infrastructure and response capabilities, lacked the ability to communicate with each other and coordinate a response, struggled to perform responsibilities such as the rescue of citizens stranded by the rising floodwaters, provision of law enforcement, and evacuation of the remaining population of New Orleans (Townsend, 2006, ch. 5).
The Federal Emergency Management Agency leads the charge of the whole community approach to emergency management with the goal of facilitating a culture that shifts primary responsibility from the federal government managing disaster recovery to a community-centric approach. Creating crosstalk between emergency management stakeholders, decision makers, and communities, facilitates exchange of information and best practices that can be shared between communities that have the same hazards and threats. Additionally, community leaders are able to form a shared understanding of thier respective needs and capabilities, leverage resources, strengthen infrastructure, forge more effective prevention, protection, response and recovery while increasing preparedness and resiliency across the community and the nation (FEMA.gov, 2011, p. 3).
Fostering a culture of shared responsibility places responsibility of emergency management on governments thereby sharing that responsibility amongst non-governmental, public and private sector agencies, and individual persons with the community ...

An Assignment On Early Warning Is A Key Factor Of Risk Reduction For Disaster...
Community-based early warning systems (CBEWS) empower local communities to protect themselves from hazards. CBEWS have four key elements: understanding risks, monitoring hazards, disseminating warnings, and enabling local responses. Effectively implementing CBEWS requires understanding community needs, fostering participation, and developing response capacities. Early warning systems can help reduce impacts from natural hazards like floods and cyclones, which frequently affect Bangladesh due to its geography, rivers, and monsoon climate. Establishing strong CBEWS requires coordination, reliable information sharing, and ensuring communities are prepared to act on warnings.

Sale of immovable property vaibhav goyal
The document discusses sale of immovable property under the Transfer of Property Act in India. It defines sale as the transfer of ownership in exchange for a price, which can be paid upfront or promised to be paid. For a sale to be valid, it must be made through a registered sale deed if the property is worth Rs. 100 or more, or delivered if worth less. The rights and liabilities of buyers and sellers are also outlined, such as the seller's duty to disclose defects and deliver possession, and the buyer's duty to pay the purchase price. Contracts of sale are distinguished from final sales as they only confer certain equitable rights until a sale deed is executed and registered.
Mortgage vaibhav goyal
Mortgage is French term which means ‘death contract’. The term death contract means that the pledge (promise, bailment, and guarantee) ends only when the loan is repaid, the obligation is fulfilled or when the borrower takes over and/or sells the collateral, the mortgaged property by way of foreclosure. According to the Bouvier’s Law Dictionary (8th) Edition, “Mortgage” is a conditional conveyance of land designed as a security for the payment of money, the fulfilment of some contract, or the performance of some act, and to be void upon such payment, fulfilment or performance. Mortgage works as a security of the loan amount. It is way to secure profit for the bank and/ financial institutions and it is the way of getting loans for the common people, builder and/or company, firm etc.
Legal rights of animals edited by vaibhav goyal
“So far as legal theory is concerned, a person is any being whom the law regards as capable of rights or duties. Any being that is so capable is a person, whether a human being or not, and no being that is not so capable is a person, even though he be a man. Persons are the substances of which rights and duties are the attributes. It is only in this respect that persons possess juridical significance, and this is the exclusive point of view from which personality receives legal recognition.”
Contrary to the above stated proposition, the duty of humanity so enforced is not conceived by the law as a duty towards beasts, but merely as a duty in respect of them. There is no bond of ‘Litigation’ between mankind and them. The only interest between the two are the ‘Tight 'which the law recognises in such, a case is the interest and right of society as a -whole in the welfare of the animals belonging to it.
Legal rights (nature, characteristics and kinds)
In the case of State of Rajasthan vs. Union of India (1977), the Supreme Court defined legal right as, “In a strict sense, legal rights are correlatives of legal duties and are defined as interests which the law protects by imposing corresponding duties on others. But in a generic sense, the word “right” is used to mean an immunity from the legal power of another, immunity is exemption from the power of another in the same way as liberty is exemption from the right of another. Immunity, in short, is no subjection.”
Law according to the john austin vaibhav goyal
John Austin is considered as the “Father of English Jurisprudence”. He is the founder of the Analytical school. He was greatly influenced by the scientific treatment of the Roman law and, therefore, he started scientific arrangement of the English law too. He applied the English method and avoided the metaphysical method which was prevalent in Germany and had German characteristics. Like Bentham, Austin believed that “law” is only an aggregate of individual laws. In his view, all laws are rules the majority of which regulate behaviour. These are either directives or those imposed by general opinion. A directive, whether general or particular, is the expression or intimation of your wish “that another shall do or forbear, issued in the form of a command”. Accordingly, a law in its most comprehensive signification is “rule laid down for the guidance of an intelligent being by an intelligent being having power over him”.
Judicial review of orders by president and governor vaibhav goyal
Encyclopaedia defines “Judicial Review” as the power of the courts of a country to examine the actions of the legislative, executive, and administrative arms of the government and to determine whether such actions are consistent with the constitution. Actions judged inconsistent are declared unconstitutional and, therefore, null and void. Constitutional judicial review is usually considered to have begun with the assertion by John Marshall, fourth chief justice of the United States (1801–35), in Marbury v. Madison (1803) that the Supreme Court of the United States had the power to invalidate legislation enacted by Congress. Constitution of India itself provides some discretionary powers to the Governors. Sometime Governors’ do not exercise their discretionary powers judiciously. Here the role of the judiciary starts and many times judiciary has provided valuable guidelines for the Governors.
Fraudulent transfer of property (sec. 53 of tpa, 1882)
Section 53 of the Transfer of Property Act deals with fraudulent transfers of property made with the intent to defeat or delay creditors. A fraudulent transfer will be voidable at the option of any creditor defeated or delayed by such transfer. Case law has established several factors that may indicate a fraudulent transfer, including lack of consideration, insolvency of the transferor, and retention of benefits by the transferor. The scope of the section is broad and includes any transfer intended to delay creditors, even if not intended to defeat them entirely. For a transfer to be considered fraudulent under this section, there must be clear proof of intent to defraud or delay creditors.
Crime vaibhav goyal
The law of crimes as old as the civilisation itself. The crime and the criminal in every society is looked with great hatred, but the study of the crimes and discovering the causes of crimes have remain the greatest attraction among the jurists of the jurisprudence. There always lies necessity of devising some ways and methods to curb such criminal tendencies among the section of the people living in the civilised society. The problem arises as to what acts should be forbidden, or what acts should be selected for punishment by the society or the State. The concept of the crime has been always been dependent on the public opinion.
Conduct of arbitral proceeding vaibhav goyal
The document discusses the conduct of arbitral proceedings under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act of 1996. It summarizes key sections of the Act related to equal treatment of parties, determination of procedures, place of arbitration, and commencement of proceedings. The arbitrator is not bound by strict rules of evidence or civil procedure, but must follow principles of natural justice. The parties have freedom to agree on procedures and location, or the arbitrator will determine based on convenience.
Conduct of arbitral proceeding part 2 vaibhav goyal
Within the period of time agreed upon by the parties or determined by the arbitral tribunal, the claimant shall state the facts supporting his claim, the points at issue and the relief or remedy sought, and the respondent shall state his defence in respect of these particulars, unless the parties have otherwise agreed as to the required elements of those statements.
Implications of science and technology on law and society (Vaibhav Goyal)
Extolling the virtues of technology though is not very difficult yet its baneful effect on the legal norms has been unfortunate. Technology demands more, not less, human work to function. In controlling the catastrophic problems we are exposing ourselves to even more elusive chronic ones that are even harder to address our safety demands more and more vigilance.

Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities (CBDR–RC) is a principle in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change that recognizes countries have different abilities and responsibilities to address climate change. The principle was established in the 1992 UNFCCC treaty and divides countries into Annex I (developed) and non-Annex I (developing) groups, with Annex I countries taking on a greater reduction role. However, debates have emerged over this division as some developing countries' emissions and capabilities have grown. While CBDR-RC remains important, later agreements have moved toward a more bottom-up approach where countries determine their own commitments according to their conditions and capabilities.

Ecotourism involves traveling to undisturbed natural areas to observe wildlife and landscapes while respecting the environment. The Constitution of India gives power to Parliament to enact laws protecting the environment and development of sectors like ecotourism. It also protects the rights of indigenous tribes living in scheduled areas. Several acts like the Forest Conservation Act, Wildlife Protection Act, and Environment Protection Act establish frameworks for conservation and regulate activities near coastal zones and forests to protect ecotourism. However, the large-scale mining, manufacturing, transportation, and disposal of electronic waste required to support digital technologies causes significant environmental degradation through pollution, energy use, and poor working conditions.

Licensed innovation and plant assortment assurance impact financial advancement and access to innovations. The TRIPS Agreement tries to fortify worldwide licensed innovation assurance while the Biodiversity Treaty looks to ensure biodiversity and customary information. While worries over monocultures impacting biodiversity are valid, the real risk is noncompetitive practices rather than plant assortment assurance itself. If actualized appropriately, strong yet adaptable licensed innovation and plant assortment assurance could advance both preservation and maintainable utilization of biodiversity.

The document discusses the importance of protecting indigenous peoples' rights and cultural diversity. It notes that indigenous peoples account for much of the world's cultural and linguistic diversity, and live in many areas with high biological diversity. While the Earth Summit in 1992 recognized the important role of indigenous peoples in managing the environment, many nations still lack policies protecting indigenous land rights and participation in managing natural resources. The document advocates for stronger legal protections and inclusion of indigenous peoples in environmental conservation.
Summary lecture 4 vac044
The document summarizes key concepts from the lecture:
1) The "polluter pays" principle requires that the costs of pollution be borne by those who cause it. It is usually implemented through command-and-control and market-based approaches like emissions taxes.
2) The precautionary principle justifies preventative measures to address potential risks to public health or the environment from activities, even when scientific evidence is uncertain. It has been incorporated into many international environmental agreements.
3) Strict liability holds an organization fully responsible for any harm caused, even without proof of negligence. This principle was applied by an Indian court to hold an organization accountable for a toxic gas leak that harmed local residents and the environment.
Summary lecture 2
Coastal Regulation Zones (CRZ) regulate development near coastlines to protect fragile coastal ecosystems. The CRZ Rules were first implemented in 1991 and restrict activities like large developments, factories, waste storage, mining within 500 meters of the coast. The new CRZ Rules in 2021 classify rural coastal areas into two types based on population density, and establish no-development zones of 50 meters or 200 meters from the high tide line accordingly. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) identify environmental, social and economic impacts of projects before approval. The EIA process involves screening, scoping, collecting baseline data, impact prediction, mitigation measures, public hearings, and monitoring project implementation.
Summary lecture 3 vac044.edited
Covid-19 has highlighted how pandemics pose one of the greatest dangers to humanity throughout history, with past pandemics resulting in far greater loss of life than wars or natural disasters. The global impact of the current pandemic and subsequent economic turmoil has captured worldwide attention. While the effects may be severe, they are likely temporary. As India recovers from the pandemic, it is important to return to sustainable development goals and create healthier urban areas, with a focus on green buildings and sustainable infrastructure to benefit vulnerable populations and strengthen overall well-being.

Green bonds are fixed-income instruments used to raise funds for environmental projects. They carry the same credit rating as other debt issued by the borrowing entity. Issuance of green bonds grew significantly from $2.6 billion in 2012 to over $100 billion in 2016, driven mainly by Chinese issuers. The World Bank is a major supporter of green bonds and has issued over $5.3 billion between 2014-2018 in the US and over 2.7 billion rupees in India. A green building is one that minimizes negative environmental impacts through its design, construction, and operation, such as efficient energy and resource use, pollution reduction, and use of sustainable materials.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

- 1. LECTURE SUMMARY 9 The administration alone can't adequately adapt capable of contamination control until bolstered by the majority. The need for investment of masses in accomplishing the objectives submitted in the strategy proclamations for reduction of contamination has been felt firmly. Open interest cases have effectively shown that capable and concerned NGOs and open energetic people can realize huge weight on contaminating businesses for receiving contamination control measures. NGOs being one of the best media to contact the individuals nowadays, may assume a critical job in condition insurance. There are more than 3 million NGOs and intentional associations in India out of which huge quantities of them are centered around Air and water contamination. They assumed a significant job in the preservation of common assets and natural insurance. The crucial destinations of NGOs are to go about as an impetus in realizing nearby, national, and worldwide activity and network support by and a large improvement in personal satisfaction. It would likewise assist the administration with obtaining pertinent data for advancing and encourage the execution of major natural projects. Natural NGOs can assume a critical job in assisting with stopping holes by leading exploration to encourage strategy improvement, building institutional limits, and encouraging autonomous exchange with common society to assist individuals with carrying on with a progressively maintainable way of life. A non-government association is a social administration association progressing in the direction of a superior society. NGOs make mindfulness among the general population on current natural issues and arrangements. Additionally securing, the regular assets and entrusting the fair utilization of assets. They likewise moving data through pamphlets, leaflets, articles, various media and so forth arranging workshops, talks, and gathering examining for the advancement of ecological mindfulness. They help town managerial authorities in arrangement, application, and execution of undertakings on ecological assurance. India has various NGOs that work in the field of condition assurance. For Assam Science Society, Bombay Natural History Society, Center for Environmental Education, Center for Science and Environment, CPR Environment Education Center, Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad, Kalpavriksh, Narmada Bachao Andolan and so forth. In late decades, two major changes have molded how the worldwide network comprehends difficulties in harmony and security. Right off the bat, the scope of possible on-screen characters of contention has extended altogether to incorporate non-state substances. Security is not, at this point barely imagined as far as customary military dangers. Today, state disappointment and common war speak to probably the most serious dangers to worldwide
- 2. harmony. Furthermore, the possible reasons for uncertainty are as a rule better comprehended. In 2004, the report of the Secretary-General's High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges, and Change featured the principal connection between the earth, security, and social and monetary advancement in the quest for worldwide harmony in the 21st century. In 2007, a notable discussion at the UN Security Council perceived that "UN missions and peacekeeping tasks conveyed in asset enriched nations encountering equipped clash could assume a job in helping the legislatures worried, with full regard of their power over their common assets, to forestall the unlawful abuse of those assets from further fuelling the contention". Natural elements are seldom if at any time, the sole reason for fierce clash. Notwithstanding, the misuse of regular assets and related natural anxieties can be ensnared in all periods of the contention cycle, from adding to the flare-up and propagation of brutality to sabotaging possibilities for harmony. Access and stream of water, land debasement, floods, and contamination, notwithstanding rivalry over extractive assets, can legitimately intensify pressures and lead to emission of contentions, similar to the case for asset exhaustion issues, for example, deforestation, soil disintegration, and desertification. This developing security scene requires a move in the manner the worldwide network takes part in peace promotion. From strife anticipation and an early admonition to harmony making, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding, the expected job of normal assets and the earth must be contemplated at the beginning. Since 1999, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) has led more than twenty post-strife evaluations to decide the natural effects of war. UNEP has additionally added to distinguishing holes and shortcomings in global laws that secure the earth during the war and equipped clash. Through goals that went at UN Environment Assemblies in 2016 and 2017, Member States exhibited their acknowledgment of the need to improve insurance of nature amid furnished clash. VAC044
