This document summarizes an environmental water and sanitation project in the Maxaquene A neighborhood of Maputo, Mozambique. The neighborhood faces issues with access to potable water and sanitation. Black waters from rain often flood the low-lying area, potentially spreading illness. The water distribution system has many leak points where water is lost. The project aims to analyze the water supply system, assess access to potable water, identify leak points and their causes, and evaluate measures to minimize black waters. Through surveys, interviews and observation, the project will work to increase community awareness of water issues and promote more sustainable water use and management. The expected results include greater community involvement in problem-solving and the adoption of new policies to

Water and Wastewater Mangement in India 2010 - SampleNetscribes, Inc.
Water is one of the most invaluable resources of nature and increasing water consumption is leading to its depletion. Various sectors across India are rapidly increasing and are actively contributing to the pollution of surface as well as groundwater. This calls for the active need of water management. Although water has been one of the most thriving and important issues amongst the government concerns, the private players are actively granting their support to market efficient techniques and equipments to manage water. The wastewater treatment market in India is growing at 20% and techniques like watershed management, rainwater harvesting, desalination, filtration, river-interlinking, effluent treatment and sewage treatment are finding huge importance in major cities which are the major contributors to water pollution in India.
The report begins with an overview of water situation and consumption structure in India across various sectors namely, agriculture, domestic and industries showing the growth in water consumption across the masses in India. This is followed by a section which depicts the amount of wastewater generated across sectors and the level of degradation.
It also highlights the lakes and water bodies that are under threat of depleting and being polluted.
The market overview section gives the size and growth of the wastewater treatment market and shows the various techniques of water and wastewater treatment. It also gives an in-depth analysis of the various techniques and their status in India. The characteristics and trends in the market have been analyzed and include increasing urbanization, initiatives taken at the corporate level, initiatives of various research and training institutes, increasing licensing agreements, various summits and seminars, initiatives for consumer awareness and public private partnerships. A brief analysis of the issues/challenges hindering growth are also highlighted including policy failures and institutional weaknesses, coordination and technological loopholes, multiplicity of organizations and inadequacy in generation of revenue to meet costs.
Various government bodies and programmes as well as initiatives by the NGOs that have been actively involved in conserving water and regulating its consumption and pollution have been showcased.
The competitive landscape provides a look into the nature of the market and the activities of the players and the level of competition between them. It also compares the private players according to the products and services provided by them. Brief profile with short description of the major domestic and foreign players is also included. Furthermore, key developments in the market over the last one year have also been highlighted.

Application of Source Water Quantity and Quality Model to Dongshan PeninsulaeWater
Lake Tai is the third largest freshwater lake in China, bordering Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces,
providing water to 30 million residents. A severe algal bloom in 2007 led to the development of the
Lake Tai Master Plan, launched by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), to
improve nutrient management in the basin. Under a joint Australian China Environmental
Development Project, the Australian eWater Source Integrated Modelling System (IMS) was applied
to model water quantity and quality for a pilot area on the Dongshan Peninsula in the Lake Tai Basin.
Source is a powerful modelling platform for environmental management which can integrate many
physical processes and human impacts, successfully applied in over 70 basins across Australia.
The Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, on behalf of the UK Committee for National and International Hydrology, convened a special session on International Catchment Management Science and Application at the World Water Congress XV in May 2015.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Research Subject Analysis of the Environment Water Supply System and Sanitation
3. 1.1 Introduction Water is the most endangered natural resource in this century, either by lack of human care for its preservation, or for its waste in its various forms of exploitation and use. The PNCDA – National Programme for Water Waste Combat, defines that in the Public system, water loss is considered to be the volume of water not accounted for, which includes both physical loss, as the portion not consumed (originated from leaks in the system beginning from capture point up to utilization terminals as well as excessive unnecessary consumption), and non-physical loss as non-registered consumed water (resulting from illegal or non-registered connections that lead to loss of billing)
4. This research project in “Water Supply Systems”, is intended to assess the number of houses that have access to potable water, sanitation and how is the maintenance of these services done as in terms of hygiene and care required with black waters caused by rain, identify the leaking points of origin in the system is the reason to be of this research project carried out in the Municipal District of KaMaxaquene in Maputo city. Thus, the need to inform, sensitize, build and strengthen the capacity of the communities, relevant actor involved in in local development to respond to these challenges by exploring and reevaluating the sustainability of the strategies and policies in place.
5. 1.3 Objectives General The project aims in analyzing the water supply system and environmental sanitation in neighborhood of Maxaquene “A. Specific objectives Describe the process of distribution of the water in the neighborhood of Maxaquene “A”; Assess the impact of the difficulties in accessing potable water; Identify the main points of water loss and respective causes and Assess the existing conditions to minimize black waters.
6. 1.2 Assertion of the Problem In the Municipal District of KaMaxaqueni, particularly in the neighbourhoods of Maxaquene “A” is composed by poor communities with a distinct socioeconomic vulnerable characteristic where the conditions of water supply are very precarious. What are the difficulties in operationalizing the service in many water supply systems in Maputo?
7. 1.4 Justification The research area limit of this project in the District of KaMaxaqueni, specifically the neighborhood of Maxaquene “A” for being affected by a variety of environmental problems, resulting from extreme (rain, wind that not only modify the landscape of the area, but the leaving conditions as well).
8. How? When rain falls, because the neighborhood has a low slope landscape with agglomerated houses, most of the area becomes flooded with black waters, which are propitious for the proliferation of illness causing vectors, affecting mostly the children that due to the absence of playgrounds, gather to play around the puddles, waste and drain. Additionnaly the existence of a large number of water pipes positioned underground or on the surface area that present several breaking points letting the water leak naturally, enhancing the fact that some of these breaking points are cut out by individuals that for different reasons seek for water.
9. Considering these aspects and safeguard the environmental health, quality of the water distribution services for human consumption, it is important to launch a research study in control and maintenance of the services rendered, optimizing the cost/benefit relation with economic consciousness.
10. 1.5 ResearchQuestion Considering the different environmental impacts exposed in the city of Maputo, what are the positive aspect under this problem and how to contribuite to improve the access of potable water in these city? What are the measures or strategies adopted by the Government to mitigate the problems inherent from the lack of water in the city of Maputo? What are the strategic plans implemented by the Mozambican Government in the negotiations taken during the process of distribution of water and prevention of human health related to water? What activities are being implemented in order to minimize the existence of black waters?
11. 2 Local context 2.1 Geographical position The Municipal District KaMaxaqueni, city of Maputo is situated in middle of 3 districts. It shares its North boarder with the Municipal District KaMavota, through the Av. of the FPLM, the South boarder with the Municipal District of Kamfumo, in the Av. MareinNgouambi and Joaquin Chissano, the West border with Municipal District KaChamankulo, in the Av. of Angola and East boarder with Municipal District KaMpfumo, through the Av. Marginal.
12. The District the population number is approximately 223.688; the neighborhood of Maxaquene “A” has approximately 22.733 habitants, of which 11,074 are men and 11,659 are women. (III RGPH, 2007). It is important to mention that the studying area boarders are the Municipal quarter of Mavalane “B”in the North, Municipal quarter of Malhangalene in the South, Municipal quarter of Urbanização in the West and Municipal quarter of Maxaquene “B” in the East side.
13. 3. Methodology This research is based on the quantitative model that will be used in the process of collecting and interpreting numerical data and qualitative, when seeking perception and understanding about the general nature of a certain question, thus interpreting the observed phenomenon, where the researcher try to understand the behavior and attitude like for example cutting out water pipes that result in non-registered consumption of water and consequently a loss of billing. The loss of water during the capitation process, the contamination of the water table “eutrophication” is lead mainly by human intervention in its biotic environment.
14. 3.1. Research Approach The bibliographic research will be fundamentally through books and magazines aiming to place the researcher informed on past events, thus draw a theory about the subject(PADUA, 2004); Documental analysis, that consist in reports, archives and other publications about the subject; Action research that is a typical social research approach with empiric base, conceived and carried out in relation to an action or resolution of a collective problem, in which the representative participants are involved in a cooperative and participative manner (THIOLLENT, 1986); Internet research
15. 4. Population and Sample 4.1. Population The research presents as its population universe, all residents of the Municipal District KaMaxaquene, and has as target group the young and old habitants of Maxaquene “A” quarter because they are directly affected, vulnerable, exposed to extreme events, strong and intelligent. Thus promote the readjustment of consciences and capacities spreading throughout the speech of a sustainable development.
16. 4.1.1 Sample The population of the Municipal District of KaMaxaqueni, quarter “A” that is composed for 60 blocks, where each block has 40 houses approximately. We will work with a part of the block 56, 53, 54 being target of interview only young and adult residents from 10 houses per block since these populations are exposed to environment problems related to water and sanitation.
17. 4.1.1.1 Criteria for selection of sample The presentation of project to the legal Secretary authority of the quarter and through the commentaries to adjust some unidentified points; Through the inquiries identify the existent level of knowledge among the population relatively to sanitation of the environment.
18. Instrument of data collection Inquiry; Questionnaire; Interview and Direct observation made during the interview.
19. 5 Expected results Consciousness of the target group about rational management of water; Aquire basic knowledge about mitigation and adaptation mechanism; Greater involvement and unification of the community in the resolution of problems that affect them; Sustainable use of hydric resources; Less waste of water during the process of capitation;
20. New policies that respond to the problems related to puddle waters, and consequently less deseases; Less ignorance in relation to small issues, but with greater consequences; Support the interaction and dynamic information system in order to strengthen their own empiric knowledge.
