Water efficiency paul boylan
Water efficiency is important as water resources are under increasing pressure from rising populations and consumption. Some key facts:
- Over the next two decades, available fresh water per person will drop by one third globally.
- By 2025, two thirds of the world's population could face water shortages.
- Individual action like fixing leaks, taking shorter showers, and rainwater harvesting can help conserve water.
- Systems like greywater recycling can also reduce fresh water usage and benefit the environment.
- Urgent water efficiency is needed worldwide to ensure long term, sustainable access to this vital resource.

Powerpoint food webs, carbon cycle
The document discusses the interdependence between living organisms through food chains, food webs, and nutrient cycles. It provides examples of how plants and animals rely on each other, with bees and flowers as a prime example. Decomposers like bacteria and fungi also play a key role in breaking down dead organisms and recycling nutrients. Any disruption in these complex interrelationships can have wide-reaching consequences on ecosystems.
Energy flow in ecosystems
- Sunlight provides energy for most life on Earth through the process of photosynthesis, where plants, algae, and some bacteria use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce sugar and oxygen.
- Producers are organisms that convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Consumers eat other organisms for energy and include herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. Decomposers and detritivores break down dead organic matter.
- Cellular respiration is the process where cells use sugar and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water. Energy transfers between organisms as they eat each other in food chains and food webs.
Unit 2 ecosystem
An ecosystem is a community of organisms and their physical environment that interact. It includes biotic factors like producers, consumers, and decomposers, as well as abiotic factors such as climate, soil, and water. Energy flows through the ecosystem in food chains and webs while matter is recycled through biotic and abiotic interactions. Ecological succession over time leads to the development of climax communities as the environment changes.
Living things need energy
1) Living things need energy, which they obtain through food webs. Producers like plants get energy from sunlight, consumers eat producers or other animals, and decomposers break down dead organisms.
2) Food webs show the feeding relationships between organisms in an ecosystem, with energy transferring from one level to the next.
3) Energy pyramids illustrate how the amount of available energy decreases at each trophic level, as more is used for life processes and less is stored. Restoring gray wolves to Yellowstone helped balance populations by controlling elk numbers.
Downstream
This document discusses the importance and sustainability of water reuse. It notes that all life on Earth requires water and the water cycle naturally reuses and cleans water. However, growing populations are placing more demand on drinking water supplies. The document explains that water reuse technologies like reverse osmosis can produce water that is purer than tap water by removing various contaminants. It clarifies common misconceptions that water reuse means drinking directly from toilets, when in reality it involves multiple treatment steps before water is safely returned to drinking supplies. With modern treatment, reused water can be the safest available. Water reuse is key to ensuring sustainable water resources for future generations.

1. After a disturbance, photosynthetic and decomposer bacteria establish and produce sugars.
2. Decomposer bacteria feed on the sugars and release waste, fueling more photosynthetic and decomposer bacteria.
3. As bacteria biomass grows, protozoa, nematodes, and fungi arrive, increasing diversity, complexity and mineralization while smoothing nutrient pulses.
green hydroplant
This document discusses hydroelectric power plants and their environmental impacts. It begins by introducing hydroelectric power and listing its key components. It then outlines several advantages of hydroelectric power, such as low production costs and flood control. However, it also examines environmental problems caused by hydroelectric dams, such as greenhouse gas emissions, impacts on aquatic animals, declining water quality, and sedimentation in reservoirs. The document proposes solutions to these issues and discusses new hydroelectric technologies that do not require dams. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of transitioning to green technologies while also addressing their potential negative effects.

The leaflet was prepared as a part of Comenius project Be Globally Aware by the students from Anna Vasa School in Poland
Food Chains
A food chain shows how energy passes from one living thing to another through consumption. Producers like plants produce food, primary consumers eat producers, secondary consumers eat primary consumers, and decomposers like fungi and bacteria break down dead organisms, recycling nutrients back into the soil to nourish producers and complete the cycle. The example food chain describes an insect eating a plant, a small fish eating the insect, a larger fish eating the small fish, and an even larger fish eating the larger one before decomposers break it down.

Ecology
This document discusses key concepts in ecology including definitions of ecology, niche, habitat, competitive exclusion, coevolution, symbiosis, levels of ecological organization, and ecosystem services. It provides examples of the number of organisms that can be found in soil, the value of ecosystem services, and how insect pollination supports food production.
Ecosystems: Feeding relationships
Producers, consumers, and decomposers all play important roles in ecosystems. [1] Producers like plants and algae produce their own food through photosynthesis. [2] Consumers such as animals are heterotrophic and obtain carbon compounds by eating other organisms. [3] Decomposers including fungi and bacteria break down dead organic matter and release nutrients back into the environment.
Water
This document discusses the importance of water and drinking filtered water. It notes that water is essential for life, covering most of the Earth's surface and making up over 60% of the human body. However, drinking water is often contaminated with dangerous chemicals, bacteria, and other elements that can pose health risks like cancer and Parkinson's disease. While water treatment facilities aim to provide safer water, contaminants still enter the water system. The conclusion recommends drinking filtered water, as municipal water alone cannot be completely trusted to provide clean drinking water due to limitations of water treatment and contaminants entering water after treatment.
Biotic components
The document outlines the biotic components of an ecosystem, categorizing them as producers, consumers, and decomposers. Producers are autotrophic organisms like plants that use photosynthesis to produce food from inorganic substances. Consumers include heterotrophic organisms like animals that obtain energy and nutrients by consuming producers and other organisms. Consumers are divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers based on trophic level. Decomposers such as fungi and bacteria break down dead organic matter from producers and consumers, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
Water purification with solar energy by praveen kumar singh rec bijnor
This presentation discusses a solar-powered water purification system using UV and RO processes. It aims to provide clean drinking water in rural areas lacking electricity. The system uses solar panels to generate electricity from sunlight to power a UV sterilizer that kills bacteria and an RO filter that removes dissolved salts and particles. It is a sustainable solution that could help address India's water pollution problems and save lives affected by water-borne diseases. The system was first implemented in villages near Sambhar Lake and further research is ongoing to improve the design to better handle the intermittent nature of solar energy.

Artificial night lighting disorients and misorients sea turtle hatchlings and migratory birds. When hatchlings emerge from their nests, lighting causes them to crawl in circles or away from the ocean. This exposes them to exhaustion, predators and other dangers. For nesting female turtles, lighting deters them from beaches and concentrates nesting in fewer areas, increasing risks to eggs and hatchlings. Cities have implemented "lights out" campaigns during migration seasons to reduce impacts by dimming building lights. Management strategies aim to minimize unnecessary artificial lighting near beaches and migratory paths.
St. Thomas Slideshow
The document summarizes the key lessons from Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ambassadors of the Environment program about coral reef ecosystems. It uses the metaphor of a "City Under the Sea" to explain how coral reefs function similarly to human cities, with different organisms fulfilling important roles like construction, cleaning, farming, and waste management. The four principles discussed are: 1) Everything runs on energy, with corals and algae serving as the primary producers generating energy from sunlight. 2) There is no waste in nature, with organisms recycling materials. 3) Biodiversity is important for ecosystem function. 4) Everything is connected, with many relationships between reef organisms. Examples are provided to illustrate each principle. The document stresses

Permaculture Principles in Landscape Architecture
Southwoods Forest Gardens is a property that demonstrates permaculture principles. It uses various systems like a pond that collects rainwater and diverts it to irrigate an orchard, potato towers to maximize yield in small spaces, beehives to provide pollination with minimal maintenance, and a worm bin to compost food waste and fertilize plants. The property aims to mimic natural ecosystems by creating guilds of plants that support each other and using techniques such as swales and berms to prevent water runoff and redirect it to nourish plants. It takes a trial and error approach to develop well-working systems suited to the landscape.

Constructed wetlands were successfully used to treat and recycle wastewater in the closed ecological system of Biosphere 2. This inspired the development of high biodiversity "Wastewater Gardens" to treat sewage. Constructed wetlands are appropriate for small, decentralized sewage treatment in remote or developing areas as they require little energy and maintenance. Total reuse of treated water for irrigation is the goal to close nutrient and water cycles.

An Introduction to Permaculture Hand Out for Tara Yoga Centre 16,11,2014 -1-
- Permaculture is a system of design that interconnects human lives and the natural environment in a balanced and sustainable way. It aims to minimize human inputs and maximize the use of natural systems and elements through careful observation and design.
- Key principles of permaculture include caring for the Earth, people, and returning surplus to support these. It focuses on closing nutrient cycles through connections between system elements using a deep understanding of input and output relationships.
- Examples of permaculture design connections include using chicken manure as fertilizer in a greenhouse, using a greenhouse to heat an adjacent home, and collecting rainwater from a roof to irrigate a garden. These connections create synergistic relationships that require minimal human intervention.

1. Living machine technology is a patented form of ecological wastewater treatment that mimics the cleansing functions of wetlands. It was developed by Dr. John Todd and is based on fixed-film ecology and the processes of natural tidal wetlands.
2. The technology uses 12 principles of ecological design, including mineral and nutrient diversity, steep gradients, high exchange rates, periodic pulses, a cellular structure, subecosystems, microbial communities, and photosynthetic and animal diversity.
3. Examples of how these principles are applied include using rocks to provide minerals, ecological fluidized beds for exchange rates, plant and algae systems for photosynthesis, and snails and other animals that graze algae and
Ecosystem: for students studying environmental Biology
This document provides an overview of ecosystems. It defines an ecosystem as any system composed of physical, chemical, and biological processes within a space-time unit of any magnitude. Ecosystems can be divided into biomes characterized by climate, landscape, or vegetation. Biomes contain various habitats and are home to populations, communities, and food webs. Energy flows through ecosystems via food chains and pyramids. The document also discusses different types of ecosystems such as forests, tundra, and rainforests, and how they are structured and function.
YOSUN - A CARBON SEQUESTERING MATERIAL PROCESS
This document describes a biomimetic design concept called YOSUN that aims to grow shelter materials that sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It does this by growing algae in wastewater using a process inspired by the respiratory system of camels. The algae would produce bacterial nanocellulose, which could be used as a strong, stiff material for shelters. The process would absorb excess water and help purify wastewater while producing biofuels and materials locally to house climate refugees.
Paulo Mellet's Productive ecological sewage water treatment systems
In tribute to the most inspiring man who i have encountered on planet so far, a wonderful friend and constant source of brilliant ideas and resources. We are so much poorer without his presence now he has passed away, yet so much richer for knowing him, from learning from him. Your work will live on in everything I do. Go well my friend.
Sustainable Gardening Helps to Ensure Health
Sustainable gardening practices promote environmental health, mental well-being, and respect for all life. Such gardens use native plants, foster biodiversity, and nurture the soil. Conservation gardening considers the broader ecological community and shifts from a human-centric to holistic view.
Permaculture dissertation 'A garden for the future'
We need to rethink the way in which we produce food. Permaculture designs edible systems in harmony with #nature instead of at the expense of nature. And the beauty of this approach is: everyone can do it!
Wsh reinvent the toilet challenge from Bill and Melinda Gates Fundation
The Reinvent the Toilet Challenge aims to develop a new toilet design that addresses failures of traditional toilets in developing areas and transforms human waste into useful resources like energy, clean water and nutrients without connections to water or sewer systems. Eight universities were awarded grants to develop toilet prototypes that achieve these goals, with designs focusing on producing biochar, generating electricity, recovering clean water, or mineralizing waste to extract resources. The overall goal is to create sustainable sanitation solutions for the world's poorest people.
Conservation Gardening: Sustainable Practices for a Healthy Landscape - Unive...
Sustainable gardening practices promote environmental health and human well-being. Gardening reduces stress, improves mental health, and aids recovery from illness. It also fosters respect for the interconnected web of life shared in backyards. The North Carolina Botanical Garden employs conservation techniques like composting, mulching, limiting lawn size, planting natives, and water-wise practices to create low-maintenance, multi-seasonal gardens beneficial to people and ecology.

- 22. Water, integral to the survival of the structure itself, is the pulmonary system of the home, circulating from the roof-top collector, through human consumption, and ultimately exiting via transpiration. A gray water stream irrigates the gardens, and a filtration stream enters a Living Machine, where it is purified by bacteria, fish, and plants who eat the organic wastes. Cleaned water enters the pond, where it may infiltrate the soil or evaporate to the atmosphere. Water consumed by the vegetation eventually returns to the water cycle through transpiration, simultaneously cooling the home. Plan of Water Cycle: 1. Washer, 2. Tub, 3. Sink, 4.Toilet, 5. Living-Machine Link, 6. Garden, 7. Pond. http://www.archinode.com/bienaltext.html
- 25. These dwelling are composed with 100 percent living nutrients. Here traditional anthropocentric doctrines are overturned and human life is subsumed within the terrestrial environs. Home, in this sense, becomes indistinct and fits itself symbiotically into the surrounding ecosystem. This home concept is intended to replace the outdated design solutions at Habitat for Humanity. We propose a method to grow homes from native trees. A living structure is grafted into shape with prefabricated Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) reusable scaffolds. Therefore, we enable dwellings to be fully integrated into an ecological community. http://www.archinode.com/bienaltext.html
