This document proposes a public-private partnership to create an affordable food source and community space in East Austin near the airport. The project would develop 1.23 acres of land to include 4 commercial food trailers, a community garden, fresh produce stalls, and parking. It aims to provide healthy food options and social interactions for local residents while attracting customers from nearby roads. The developer seeks non-profits to supply produce and grants to support utilities, preservation of natural areas, and community programs on the site.
Alternatives to water privatization in asia
Mary Ann Manahan (Focus on the Global South) provides an overview of water issues in Asia, offers a quick scan of the level of water service delivery and type of providers, tackles the problem of liberalization in services, and presents various alternatives to the current model.
Water Utilities and Society
Water utilities provide essential services like drinking water distribution, wastewater collection and treatment. They operate within a complex value chain involving water extraction from natural sources, treatment, distribution to customers, and wastewater collection and treatment. Ensuring affordable access to water while maintaining environmental, social and financial sustainability is challenging given factors like climate change, population growth, and rising costs. Water utilities must balance policy priorities around public health, environmental protection, affordability and social responsibility.
Water resources in a changing world
The document discusses the challenges facing water resources due to population growth, changing diets, climate change, and increasing urbanization. It summarizes the work of the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), which takes an interdisciplinary approach to address these challenges through more efficient water use in agriculture and industry, sustainable groundwater management, increasing resilience to floods and droughts, recycling wastewater, soil conservation, and using technology to disseminate information. IWMI's research aims to solve these problems to ensure food security for the future.

Investments, Institutions & Incentives for Food & Water Security
This presentation discusses investments, institutions, and incentives needed to achieve food and water security according to research from IFPRI. It summarizes that irrigation is key to food supply but a major water user. The IMPACT model projects increasing water stress without productivity investments. Significant investments are needed in agriculture, irrigation, rural development, and water access. However, investments alone are not enough - policies, institutions, and incentives at all levels also matter to coordinate water management and encourage efficient use. Improved data and analysis can help design effective policies and actions to improve food and water security.

Sanitation Issues In The Developing World
Sanitation issues in developing countries negatively impact public health and economic development. 2.5 billion people lack basic sanitation services and diseases from unsafe water kill millions annually. The key causes are lack of access to proper waste disposal facilities and water pollution from human and industrial waste. Solutions require improved infrastructure, but also addressing population growth, which increases demand on limited resources. While more progress is still needed, organizations like WaterAid have helped by providing access to clean water for many communities in developing areas.
Tackling sanitation challenges in indian villages
This document discusses interventions for improving rural sanitation and creating model villages in India. It outlines that inadequate sanitation costs India over 600,000 lives annually and leads to economic losses of over 2 trillion rupees. To address this, it proposes implementing a demand-driven approach focusing on behavior change through community awareness campaigns. It also suggests supplying affordable and low-maintenance sanitation options like bio-toilets. Developing a gendered approach, improving hygiene practices, fostering government champions, and customizing solutions for each community are key cornerstones for effective sanitation provision outlined in the document.
Sanitation In India
This document provides an overview of sanitation issues around the world and in India specifically. Some key points:
- Globally, 61% of people had access to basic sanitation in 2008, while 40% lacked access to improved sanitation facilities. Inadequate sanitation increases disease incidence.
- In rural India, open defecation is common and poses health risks. Diarrhea is a major killer of children under 5. Lack of sanitation also impacts education and economic productivity.
- Urban India faces challenges of sanitation access in slums and safe disposal of human waste. Programs like Nirmal Shahar Puraskar aim to recognize best practices in urban sanitation.

The document summarizes the impacts of South Sudan's deteriorating economic situation on access to safe water in Juba. Public water infrastructure is limited, so private vendors supply most water via trucking, bottling, and bicycle delivery. However, rising costs have reduced production and increased prices. Vendors are delivering less frequently and in smaller quantities to outlying areas. Households can only afford half as much water for drinking and cooking, risking disease outbreaks. Urgent interventions are needed to support production and delivery of affordable, safe water to vulnerable communities.

Environment and Health Status in Urban and Rural India
Rural and urban areas in India face significant issues with water access and sanitation. In rural areas, most people lack piped water access and must collect water from sources like open wells or hand pumps, often spending significant time fetching water. Water quality is also an issue, with problems like arsenic contamination affecting millions of people. Sanitation infrastructure is similarly lacking, with most rural Indians practicing open defecation. In urban areas, piped supplies are unreliable and many cities face severe water shortages. Water theft and leakage exacerbate the problems in urban water systems. Overall, access to clean drinking water and sanitation remains inadequate in both rural and urban India.
State of urban water supply
Growth of urban populations and new property developments, coupled with incidences of water mismanagement, below-average rainfall patterns and droughts.
Appeal for Herbal Plantations 2008
The villagers of Charda Panchayat in Himachal Pradesh depend on collecting and selling wild herbs for survival. However, overexploitation has led to the disappearance of herbs from their area. With little farmland and few opportunities, they must travel long distances or migrate seasonally to find herbs. Lok Vigyan Kendra, an NGO, helped the villagers of Kut-Batoa village replenish their forests with herbs and establish protection mechanisms. This initiative has led to initial success and two more villages plan to start similar programs. The goal is to make these initiatives self-sustaining and expand to more villages to promote biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods.

Policy Brief - Residential Energy Efficiency Augmenting Existing Policies
Household electricity consumption in Mumbai is projected to grow 6-9% annually until 2030. Existing federal energy efficiency policies focus on appliances, but local behavioral initiatives are also needed to reduce demand. The document recommends several policy interventions at the local level in Mumbai: 1) Setting energy efficiency standards to make high-efficiency appliances the default choice; 2) Providing consumption comparisons and information on efficient appliances to nudge consumer behavior; 3) Using mobile phones to give continuous feedback on electricity usage to motivate reductions. The proposals aim to complement federal measures by influencing residential consumer decisions through information and behavioral tools.
Effects of Obstruction on Stream Water Quality at Parker Mill
The document discusses the effects of obstructions on stream water quality. It summarizes two previous studies that found: (1) dam construction decreased water quality upstream due to pollutant accumulation, but increased it immediately downstream, with no long-term effects further downstream; (2) highway construction impacted turbidity, metals, and macroinvertebrates near construction sites. The document then describes a study that found a bridge obstructing Fleming Creek did not significantly affect overall water quality or diversity upstream vs. downstream, though some differences were observed. Limitations of the small study are discussed, along with ideas for future investigations.

Water and Food Production issues and solutions in Africa-Prof. Bancy Mati
Water and food security in Africa face challenges due to climate change impacts, increasing population and demand for water, and inefficient water usage. While Africa has abundant water resources, they are poorly distributed and high losses occur. Agriculture is mostly rain-fed and irrigation reaches only a small percentage of cultivated land. The continent suffers extensive water scarcity. Innovations in water infrastructure development, appropriate technologies, partnerships, and improved policies are needed to enhance sustainable water use and food security in Africa.

Providing clean water and sanitation facilities to all Indians is a major challenge. Currently, many rural Indians lack access to these basic necessities. This leads to negative health and economic impacts, including high rates of water-borne diseases and lost work days. A proposed decentralized, community-based solution focuses on awareness campaigns, formation of local water committees, and utilizing technical expertise to develop sustainable drinking water and sanitation infrastructure and maintenance practices. The goal is a demand-driven, self-help model that empowers communities rather than relying solely on government provision.

India faces increasing water scarcity due to population growth, urbanization, and climate change. Agriculture, which uses 90% of India's water supply, and industry are major contributors to growing water demand. By 2050, water demand is expected to outstrip supply as population increases to 1.66 billion and urban population grows substantially. To address this, India must improve water management through conservation programs, rainwater harvesting, and policies around equitable water distribution between states.

This document provides a summary of a presentation on providing clean drinking water and proper sanitation facilities in India. It outlines several key problems including that less than 50% of people have access to drinking water, 30% of rural populations lack access, water quality issues are widespread, and most cities do not treat wastewater before disposal. It also discusses gender and caste issues related to water collection. Diarrhea is a major cause of child death. The presentation proposes solutions like improving multiple water sources, rainwater harvesting, affordable toilets, and special technologies for diverse areas. It emphasizes the need for a holistic, networked approach involving various stakeholders.

The document discusses solutions for improving access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities in rural India. It notes that currently 74% of rural Indians practice open defecation and only 32% have access to treated drinking water. It proposes several approaches to increase access:
For drinking water, it suggests central treatment plants, village-level purification, and point-of-use treatment. For sanitation, it recommends constructing individual and community toilets, managing sludge and liquid waste, and generating awareness. It provides details on appropriate technologies, key stakeholders, and estimated costs to implement the solutions in thousands of villages across India. The financial analysis estimates total capital costs of over 200 crore rupees to implement the clean water

India faces significant challenges in providing clean drinking water and sanitation to its population. Approximately 97 million people lack access to safe water and 814 million lack basic sanitation services. Poor sanitation and unsafe water have led to widespread health issues, with over 1,600 deaths from diarrhea alone every day. While India has undertaken various efforts and programs to expand access, issues around management, funding, awareness, and equitable access persist. Addressing India's water and sanitation crisis will require improved coordination, prioritization of hygiene education, consideration of all socioeconomic groups, and innovative solutions tailored to local needs.
