The document summarizes an area development program along the Canal Roeselare-Leie in Belgium. The program began in 2005 and involves cooperation between 2 cities and 3 municipalities totaling around 110,000 inhabitants. Its goals were to develop an action plan for the multifunctional future of the canal zone and an anniversary program for the 150th anniversary of the canal in 2012. The anniversary program included over 50 activities between April and October 2012 across the communities to promote regional identity and was very successful in attracting residents and spontaneous additional events.
The document discusses the Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS) and its work on sustainable development in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR). It notes that the CBSS promotes intergovernmental cooperation and its CBSS-Baltic 21 unit leads the European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region's Horizontal Action on Sustainable Development. This includes a focus on issues like climate change, sustainable urban and rural development, and innovation/education. The document then outlines the Baltic Sea Region Urban Forum for Smart Cities project, which aims to support cities' transition to green growth and innovative solutions through sustainable public procurement. It contributes to both the CBSS sustainable development strategy and the EU's Baltic Sea strategy.

This webinar provided an overview of the Etat de Genève (GE-LAB / Genève Lab) living lab in Geneva. Attendees were reminded to remain muted until the question and answer session and that the webinar was being recorded. The presentation then began with an introduction to the Vuores living lab in Tampere, Finland, which uses nature-based solutions like swales, wetlands, and retention ponds for stormwater management in the new city district of Vuores. Activities in the living lab included developing small nature-based solutions through innovation vouchers, engaging stakeholders through workshops and activities, monitoring water quality, and integrating the living lab into long-term city processes
The document discusses the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme for 2021-2027. It provides an overview of the programme preparation process to date, including identifying needs, drafting a thematic framework, and gaining feedback. It then outlines three proposed topics for public consultation: 1) More innovative and resilient economies and societies, 2) Responsive public services, and 3) Sustainable water management adapted to the impacts of climate change. For each topic, it describes the proposed understanding and provides examples of potential transnational cooperation actions. The document is seeking public input on the proposed programme topics.
This report summarizes the results of a baseline study on solid waste management in 8 localities in Moldova. The study area has a population of 13,500 people living in 5,010 households across one town and 7 villages near the Ciorna River. At present, public utilities like water, sewage, gas, and central heating are only available to a small portion of households. Solid waste management is one of the major problems in the area due to the lack of integrated services. The study aims to evaluate current practices, identify stakeholders, and assess community needs to improve solid waste management through an extension project.
This document discusses a city-basin action agenda and INBO's work promoting dialogue between cities and basin organizations. It outlines seven priorities for integrated water resources management, including strengthening basin-city dialogue. INBO plans to publish a handbook in 2022 with best practices on city-basin collaboration, based on case studies. INBO will also support members' pilot projects and networks of cities cooperating on water issues. The handbook aims to improve planning, financing, risk management and evaluation across administrative boundaries. It will highlight the drivers, pathways and foundations for effective action linking urban water management to entire catchment areas.

Webinar with presentation of the facilitation method applied in the municipal...Tove Holm
The Municipality of Korsholm organised a webinar on November 29th in 2022, where I presented the a methodology the municipality have used to involve different sectors in their sustainability work.
The facilitation methodology is called “the arrow for the future”,
It has been applied in the municipality of Korsholm in Finland for implementing their climate- and energy strategy.
In the workshop, the participants, together, identify:
1) what they have succeeded with during the last years/the former period?
2) what is topical right now? and
3) what do they want to do in the upcoming years?
The success factors of the methodology are first that you get to identify what you have succeeded with, meaning giving positive feedback to each other and yourself.
Secondly, everyone can participate regardless of position or title. Thirdly, you get a result, a list of things that the group would like to accomplish in the coming years.
This method is very suitable for any strategy work.

Vuonna 2007 Helsingin ja Turun kaupungit tekivät yhteisen aloitteen Itämeren suojelemiseksi ja käynnistivät Itämerihaasteen, jonka tavoite on sitouttaa kaupunkeja, kuntia ja organisaatioita vapaaehtoisiin Itämeren suojelutoimenpiteisiin. Helsingin ja Turun kaupungit toteuttavat vapaaehtoisia suojelutoimenpiteitä yhteisten toimenpideohjelmien kautta. Ensimmäinen toimenpideohjelma toteutettiin vuosina 2008-2013, toinen vuosina 2014-2018 ja kolmas toteutetaan vuosien 2019-2023 aikana. Toimenpideohjelmat huomioivat EU:n Itämeren alueen strategian ja Itämeren suojelukomission suositukset Itämeren suojelun edistämiseksi sekä alueelliset ympäristöstrategiat ja -ohjelmat.
Itämerihaaste järjestää yhteistyössä verkostojäsenten kanssa mm. yleisölle avoimia tapahtumia. Itämerihaaste on kasvanut kansainväliseksi verkostoksi, johon kuuluu yli 320 eri toimijaa Itämeren alueelta.
Tulevan toimenpideohjelman kehittäminen aloitettiin keväällä. Itämerihaasteen opinnäytetyöntekijä Natalie Helenius, tutki Helsingin ja Turun kaupunkien Itämeripolitiikkaan vaikuttavia lakeja, asetuksia, strategioita ja ohjelmia. Tavoitteena oli löytää toistuvia painotuksia ja tunnistaa ajankohtaisimmat ja merkittävimmät uhat Itämerelle, jotta Itämerihaasteen uusi toimenpideohjelma vuosille 2024–2028 pystyisi toimimaan mahdollisimman hyvässä synergiassa muiden ohjaavien velvoitteiden kanssa.
Kesällä järjestettiin myös avoin kysely kuntalaisille, josta tiedotettiin eri tapahtumissa, mm. Itämeripäivässä Turussa ja Helsingissä. kesän ja alkusyksyn aikana ollaan järjestetty pari työpajaa kansainväliselle verkostolle ja seuraavaksi järjestetään työpajat kansalliselle verkostolle, johon ovat kaikki verkostolaiset ja siasta kiinnostuneet tervetulleita.
Tavoitteenamme on julkaista seuraava ohjelma, vuosille 2024-2028 Itämerihaasteen valtakunnallisessa seminaarissa Helsingissä syksyllä 2024.

Turun kaupungin Itämerihaaste on valinnut toteutettavaksi neljä nopeaa kokeilua jotka edistävät Saaristomeren kestävää lähiruokaa. Kokeilut käynnistyvät lokakuussa 2022 ja päättyvät tammikuussa 2023.
Kokeiluissa tuotetaan käytännön ratkaisuja uusien raaka-aineiden tuotteistamista ja lähiruuan logistiikan kehittämistä varten sekä viestitään ratkaisuista. Kokeilut pyrkivät muutoksen vauhdittamiseen konkreettisilla toimilla osallistamalla tuottajia ja toimijoita.
Kokeilujen avoin aloitustilaisuus järjestettiin 14.10.2022, Spark Up:in tapahtuma-areenalla.
Tilaisuudessa kokeilijat kertoivat kokeiluistaan. Lisäksi Mervi Louhivaara, joka toimii Turun yliopiston Brahea-keskuksen ruokaketju ja kestävä kehitys projektipäällikkönä puhui aiheesta ”Tiedä mitä syöt – lähiruoka on kestävää kiertotaloutta”. Tilaisuudessa tarjolla: Savusilakkamoussea ja pikkelöityä punasipulia saaristolaisleivällä sekä kinuski-omenapiirakkaa vaniljavaahdolla.
Turun kaupungin Itämerihaaste etsii neljää Saaristomeren kestävää lähiruokaa edistävää kokeilua.
Hakuinfo järjestettiin keskiviikkona 31.8. virtuaalisena.
Saaristomeren kestävällä lähiruualla tarkoitetaan paikallisruokaa, joka edistää paikallistaloutta, työllisyyttä ja ruokakulttuuria. Ruoka on tuotettu ja jalostettu Saaristomeren alueen raaka-aineista ja sitä markkinoidaan ja kulutetaan lähialueella. Lähiruoka voi tarkoittaa myös erikoistuotteita, joita myydään muuallakin Suomessa. Lähiruoan jakeluketjut ovat lyhyitä, mikä edellyttää toimijoiden yhteistyötä, joka tukee paikallista talouskasvua sekä tuottajien ja kuluttajien yhteyksiä. Ruoka tuotetaan ja käytetään luonnonvaroja säästäen ja hävikkiä välttäen.
Kokeiluhaku on auki 24.8- 21.9.2022: Kokeilutoiminta Turussa -https://www.turku.fi/testbed-turku/kokeilutoiminta-Turussa.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
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.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

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.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
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.
