This document discusses the rationale for maintaining and enhancing the Green Belt around cities in the UK. It argues that natural capital, like the open spaces and woodlands provided by the Green Belt, needs to be located near population centers to provide multiple benefits. These benefits include improved air quality, health outcomes from access to leisure activities, and biodiversity protection. While some argue the Green Belt inhibits housing and economic growth, the document counters that brownfield sites and increased density can address housing needs, and that truly sustainable and resilient economic growth depends on maintaining natural capital. It concludes by envisioning how an enhanced Green Belt could better integrate access to green spaces and natural capital into urban living for current and future generations.

The document discusses the rationale for maintaining and enhancing the UK's Green Belt. It argues that the Green Belt provides natural capital benefits by being located near urban populations, including access to open spaces, improved air quality, health benefits, and biodiversity protection. While some argue building on the Green Belt is necessary for housing or won't significantly impact the environment, the response is that brownfield sites can provide housing, population growth projections are uncertain, and losing even small parts of the Green Belt could undermine the overall natural capital system. Rather than inhibiting economic growth, protecting natural capital is integral to sustainable long-term growth. Overall the Green Belt represents a major economic opportunity if revitalized for the 21st century with enhanced environmental standards and public

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.
Transforming global landscapes
Rapid land transformation driven by large scale investments is one of the big trends defining this century. In a virtual briefing for the Global Donor Platform members CIAT agriculture expert Deborah Bossio dismisses the cry for more investments often heard in development circles. From her perspective a lack of investments is not the problem. The more pressing question is whether these large scale investments could be sustainable and socially inclusive. How are they going to play out in the end?
Another emerging feature, according to Bossio, is the dominance of globalization as well as foreign income and international trade as major drivers of land use change. Taking a closer look at these dynamics shows that we aim at achieving multiple goals (sustaining communities, produce goods, store carbon, protect wildlife, sustain biodiversity, ecosystem services). The landscapes approach provides a vehicle for realizing those objectives.
After outlining the reasons behind choosing landscapes approaches, Deborah rounds off with introducing specifics of CIAT’s landscapes approach.
Deborah Bossio is the director of soils research area at CIAT. She is based in Nairobi, Kenya, and has more than 15 years experience working in sustainable agriculture development research.

Solar Power and Water - renewable but always sustainable?
Solar Power and Water - renewable but always sustainable?International Water Management Institute (IWMI)
This document discusses the water-energy nexus and the potential for solar power to provide sustainable solutions. It notes that water and energy demands are projected to increase significantly by 2050. Solar power technologies like concentrating solar thermal plants and photovoltaics have water footprints similar to conventional energy but use less water in some regions and cooling technologies. Most large-scale solar plants are located in water-stressed areas, so their impacts must be carefully considered. Emerging business models in India and Africa show promise in using solar pumps to power irrigation in a sustainable way, but solutions must be tailored to local contexts. Overcoming barriers like access to financing will be important to fully realize the benefits of solar irrigation.Institutionalizing Underground Taming of Floods for Irrigation (UTFI) in the ...

Wider Approach to Incentives for Water Management
Steven N. Schonberger discusses broadening approaches to incentives for sustainable and efficient water management. Incentives have been used for millennia to manage shared water resources and avoid conflicts. Now, incentives come from many interconnected sectors and issues like macroeconomic concerns, the water-energy nexus, and food security policies. A comprehensive approach is needed that addresses scarcity of water, organizational capacity, and accountability in water management through decentralized management, new technologies, and policies that share responsibilities. The ultimate incentive is recognizing that the Earth has limited resources and must be cared for sustainably.

IWMI in Action- Water Productivity
Presented by IWMI's Amgad Elmahdi, Head of MENA Region, at Cairo Water Week 2018, on October 15, 2018.
IHA Congress 2011 - Session 2 - Shahid Hasan
Growing demand for water and energy in India is causing issues and challenges. Population growth and economic development are expected to increase energy and water usage. There is already a high level of water scarcity in India. Additionally, water resources are highly seasonal and unevenly distributed. This causes growing conflicts between different water users like agriculture, industry, and domestic sectors. Critical issues that need to be addressed include creating more water storage capacity, moving to a water resources management approach rather than a development approach, reducing groundwater overextraction, improving water supply infrastructure, and adopting integrated energy and water planning.
Somerville Urban forest 2018
Somerville experienced a catastrophic loss of trees in 2018, with over 1,800 trees removed. This is equivalent to 10 years of tree planting at current rates. The city has consistently underspent its budget for tree care, allowing dead and dying trees to remain for years. Major projects like the Green Line Extension and development at Somerville High School resulted in the removal of over 1,000 and 700 trees respectively. To replace the ecosystem services provided by these large, mature trees, it will take decades for newly planted smaller trees to grow. The document calls for improved community engagement around urban forestry, developing a tree care program, maintaining a net-neutral approach to tree removal and planting across all projects, and creating a program to
Presentation - Seventh Roundtable on Financing Agricultural Water - Ismail Oudra
The document summarizes a virtual roundtable on financing agricultural water held by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. It notes that population growth and improved nutrition are increasing demand for agricultural water, while availability is decreasing due to factors like urbanization, climate change, and environmental stresses. Trillions of dollars in investment will be needed globally by 2050 to ensure sufficient water for agriculture. Adaptation is needed through technological innovations, policy reforms, and innovative financing mechanisms to modernize irrigation systems and make them more flexible and sustainable. Successful adaptation requires cross-sectoral cooperation across areas like finance, rural development, trade and the environment.

The document discusses the economic arguments for maintaining and enhancing the green belt around cities in the UK. It argues that natural capital, like the green belt, provides significant economic and health benefits by being located near populated areas. Maintaining the green belt is important for sustainable economic growth because neglecting natural capital would negatively impact the environment, public health, and biodiversity. While some argue building on the green belt is needed for housing and economic development, the document counters that brownfield sites and increasing density are better alternatives that do not require sacrificing natural areas. The green belt could also be improved by enhancing its environmental quality and public access to provide even greater economic returns to the population.
Green technology solutions
The document discusses the need for a global green movement to address climate change and environmental degradation. It outlines several issues including rising population, greenhouse gas emissions, natural disasters, loss of ecosystems and biodiversity. Transitioning to renewable energy and green technology is proposed, along with investing in sustainable development, green jobs, education and international cooperation. The goal is a shift to a low-carbon, resource-efficient green economy that generates growth while protecting the environment and helping the poor.

This document discusses the concept of a green economy. A green economy aims to improve human well-being and social equity while significantly reducing environmental risks. It is an economic system that reduces ecological scarcities through more sustainable use of resources. Key sectors of a green economy include renewable energy, green buildings, sustainable transport, water management, waste management, and land management. Transitioning to a green economy can help drive job growth while reducing poverty and environmental degradation. Developing countries face additional challenges in adopting green economic policies and need support through capacity building and private sector engagement.
Green economy
This document discusses the concept of a green economy. A green economy aims to improve human well-being and social equity while significantly reducing environmental risks. It is an economy that sustains development without degrading the environment. A green economy was initiated in response to multiple crises and accelerating resource scarcity. It provides opportunities to reduce poverty and inequality through sustainable management of natural resources. Key sectors of a green economy include renewable energy, green buildings, sustainable transport, water management, waste management, and land management. Developing countries face challenges in transitioning to a green economy due to low emissions levels and investments. Enabling conditions include establishing regulations, removing subsidies, prioritizing green investments, and engaging the private sector and public.

Exmoor society 7.04.17
The document summarizes a presentation given by Dieter Helm on applying a natural capital approach for Exmoor National Park. It discusses using natural capital planning to maintain Exmoor's assets in perpetuity through a long-term capital maintenance budget and funding plan. This would involve creating an asset register, identifying at-risk ecosystems, and outlining capital projects and enhancements over 25 years to pass on the park in good condition for future generations. Funding could come from grants, tourism levies, payments for ecosystem services, and establishing a natural capital fund.
Environment and development
This document discusses the relationship between the environment and economic development. It covers topics such as sustainable development, environmental accounting, the impact of population growth and poverty on resources, and the tradeoffs between economic growth and environmental degradation. The key issues addressed are how to increase development in developing countries while preserving environmental capital and ensuring patterns of production and consumption are sustainable.
SP ppts.pptx
This document discusses the concepts of development and sustainable development. It defines development as gradual growth that becomes more advanced, and sustainable development as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It outlines the history of sustainable development, the goals of sustainable development, and principles like equity, environmental integrity and economic efficiency. It also discusses analyzing sustainability at various levels and examples of actions that can and should be taken to achieve sustainable development.
Sustainable Development Goals
The term “sustainable development” first came to prominence in the world Conservation Strategy (WCS) in 1980.
It achieved a new status with the publication of two significant reports by Brundtalnd on: North and South: a programme for survival and common crisis (1985) and
Our Common Future (1983) and has gained even greater attention since the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Jenerio in June 1992.
sustainable-development-ppt.pdf
Sustainable development is an approach to economic development that meets current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It has three pillars - economic growth, environmental protection, and social inclusion. Examples of sustainable development include renewable energy sources like wind and solar, green spaces, and practices like crop rotation. While expensive upfront costs and lack of education can prevent widespread adoption, sustainable development is important for meeting basic human needs, agriculture, managing climate change, and maintaining biodiversity.
Presentation-WPS Office.pptx
This document discusses the relationship between economic growth and the environment. It explores how in the 1980s, issues like ozone depletion, global warming, and biodiversity loss refocused the debate around how environmental degradation impacts economic growth. This led to the emergence of the "source to sink" concept, which describes how habitat quality affects population growth. The Brundtland Report embraced economic growth as a way to reduce poverty and environmental degradation in developing nations. The document further examines theories on how economic growth could benefit the environment through increased environmental protection and cleaner technologies as incomes rise. It explores the empirical literature on the link between economic growth and pollution, including the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis.

GEOGRAPHY
Ecosystems are formed when animals, plants, and the non-living environment have close links. All ecosystems depend on the flow of energy from sunlight through photosynthesis and the food chain, and the recycling of nutrients when plants and animals die and decompose. The key processes that sustain ecosystems are the flow of energy and the recycling of nutrients.

Findings of the sixth Global Environment Outlook
each slide in this presentation will have a learning objective presented. The purpose is to identify the main message that the presenter should be trying to convey with the slide and also to stress that we are trying to transfer knowledge, not simply raise awareness. In the transfer of knowledge there should retention of that knowledge so that eventually there may be action taken with that new knowledge. Awareness raising, on the other hand, may not lead to action being taken because the knowledge is not retained as readily.
For this slide, the presenter should be trying to convey appreciation their appreciation for the opportunity provided and also that the presentation provides a very high-level overview of the findings from the larger 700 page report, therefore some of the details may be lost.
Another key learning objective of the presentation is that, although GEO-6 presents quite a lot of negative information about the state of the environment, the overall thrust of the publication is optimistic and solutions-oriented, much like the cover of the publication, which tries to portray the sustainable world that we might all be living in by 2050.
Proposed speaking points
Thank you colleagues and I’d like to thank European Council for their generous invitation to review together the findings of the Global Environment Outlook.
I’d like to remind everyone that this is an overview of the main findings from the 700-page report and therefore we won’t really go into the finer details of the findings. Perhaps these can be covered in the question and answer session that will follow.
I’d like to first ask everyone to reflect on the cover of GEO-6. We have tried to provide a vision of what a sustainable world might look like in 2050 using this cover. Our hope is that readers might focus more on the positive and solutions-oriented messages in the report rather than the negative messages about the current state of our environment. We hope that you can each ‘imagine this world’ by looking at our cover, since this is the first step in achieving this world.
hvb 7i66 78667thnb665565hgfhkgkfhjyhghj.pptx
This document summarizes key findings from the sixth Global Environment Outlook report. It finds that while human development has increased, current environmental policies are insufficient to meet sustainability goals. Most environmental indicators, such as air pollution, biodiversity loss, water scarcity and land degradation, are projected to further deteriorate by 2030 and 2050 without transformative action. Transforming food and energy systems, reducing consumption and waste, and fully integrating environmental policies across all sectors are necessary to change this trajectory. Participatory approaches that engage local communities can help achieve the social and technical innovations required for systemic change towards a sustainable future.

Lecture 1 The Concept of Natural Capital
Natural capital refers to the world's stocks of natural assets which include geology, soil, air, water and all living things. It provides ecosystem services and underpins economic activity and human well-being. Natural capital differs from ecosystem services in that it represents the environmental assets or stocks that provide ecosystem service flows. Natural capital can be viewed through both a utility-based and asset/capabilities lens. There are debates around who has rights to natural capital and how to balance the rights of current and future generations. Natural capital is a core component of economic systems and output but is often not properly measured or accounted for in standard economic frameworks.
BEIS18.04.18
The document proposes three key proposals to facilitate rapid technical change in energy: equivalent firm power auctions, national system operators and regional system operators, and single licenses for network regulation. It argues these proposals will incentivize least-cost outcomes, storage and demand-side participation, secondary market development, competitive entry without picking winners or losers, integration of new technologies, and separation of system control from commercial activities. The proposals aim to minimize complexity and lobbying while facilitating decarbonization and technological solutions for energy systems.
Prosperity UK Green Brexit 15.03.18
The document discusses the UK government's green agenda and policies around natural capital and the environment. It summarizes the government's 2011 White Paper on the natural environment, its 25 Year Environment Plan, and goals to reform agricultural policy. It argues that properly accounting for natural capital and environmental costs is important for economic efficiency. Currently, agricultural policy is bad for farmers, taxpayers, consumers and the environment. The document advocates for adopting an aggregate natural capital rule, ensuring new housing and infrastructure leads to net environmental gains, applying the polluter pays principle, and establishing universal access to the countryside and nature as a citizen's right.
Ciep 12.12.16
This document outlines the agenda for a discussion on structural changes in global energy markets. It identifies three major changes: 1) The end of the energy "super cycle" of high oil prices. 2) Decarbonization efforts led by the Paris Agreement. 3) Advances in technologies like shale, renewables, energy storage, and their impacts on electricity generation and distribution. It then examines the geopolitical implications for regions like Europe, China, the Middle East. It also discusses the impacts on oil/gas and utility companies and how energy markets may need to adapt to new market designs with zero marginal cost electricity sources.
Landscape 24.11.16
The document discusses the implications of Brexit on British agricultural policy. It summarizes the history and issues with the current Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The CAP provides £3 billion in subsidies annually but agriculture only accounts for 0.7% of GDP. Pillar 1 subsidies are mostly decoupled from production but capitalized in land prices, making entry difficult. Pillar 2 agri-environmental schemes are inefficient and do not maximize biodiversity. Public money should fund public goods like landscapes, recreation and biodiversity. The 25-year natural environment plan provides an opportunity but lobbying interests could push policies that intensify farming and increase pollution.
Shared assets good land use video
This document discusses common good land use and achieving a 25-year natural environment plan in the UK. It addresses the need to maintain public goods like natural capital that are prone to market failures. It proposes aggregate rules to maintain renewable natural capital and invest proceeds from non-renewables into renewables. The document outlines commitments to a 25-year plan framework and using subsidies post-EU CAP to better manage land. It envisions the natural environment in 25 years if declines in natural capital can be avoided and five-year staging posts are established.
Ox flora 6.11.16
This document outlines an agenda to discuss challenges facing the environment, why existing conservation strategies are not working, and a proposed "natural capital approach". The agenda includes discussing population and development pressures, the concept of natural capital, capital maintenance and enhancements, a proposed 25-year plan, and next steps in publishing frameworks and designing a nature fund.
Esri 4.10.16
This document summarizes the perspectives and issues around UK energy policy according to an expert in three timeframes:
1) Short term - Issues include capacity, nuclear decisions like Hinkley Point, and the effects of Brexit. The system involves many interventions.
2) Medium term - Fossil fuel prices and climate policy will be key factors. Oil prices may return to normal levels from current lows. Electricity demand is expected to grow.
3) Long term - Technology changes will dominate, like digitalization, zero marginal cost electricity, and electric vehicles. The system will transition to one dominated by low carbon electricity and decentralized generation. Rethinking energy, climate and market policies is needed for this transformation.
Big bca 15.09.16
Natural capital refers to the world's stocks of natural assets which include geology, soil, air, water and all living things. This document discusses how to integrate natural capital into business decisions and the economy. It argues that natural capital must be maintained like other capital assets to ensure long term sustainable economic growth. The challenges of the built environment are also addressed, as urbanization increases pressures on natural capital. The document calls for a 25 year natural capital plan to provide guidance on practical implementation and pioneering projects to help conserve natural capital while allowing development to occur.
Bdew 8.6.16 f
This document discusses decarbonization and its consequences for energy markets in Germany and Europe. It outlines the scale of the challenge, including continued growth in carbon emissions and population. It also notes forecasts of increasing oil demand and coal use. The emerging energy context includes falling fossil fuel prices and new technologies like electric vehicles. Policy responses have focused on exiting coal, but targets set in Paris may not achieve the 2-degree warming limit. The EU 2030 framework establishes renewables targets but also recentralizes some energy policies. Overall decarbonization will be difficult to achieve at the necessary scale and speed given these complex technical and policy issues.
Castle 10.05.16
Dieter Helm gave a presentation on integrating the environment into economic policymaking. He discussed (1) treating the environment as a key economic asset rather than an add-on, (2) using natural capital accounting approaches to establish natural balance sheets and assess capital maintenance, and (3) outlining "weak" and "strong" aggregate natural capital rules to guide sustainable use of renewable and non-renewable resources. Helm then reviewed policy options and paths to practical implementation, including through catchment-level pilots, before concluding with next steps around the UK's 25-year environment plan and expanding natural capital accounting.
Marketforce 15.03.16
Professor Dieter Helm of the University of Oxford presented on future models for utility regulation and policy. He discussed three potential models: 1) Increasing competition by reducing natural monopolies; 2) Maintaining licenses, universal service obligations, and the regulated asset base model; 3) Establishing system operators to combine competitive and regulated asset base approaches by focusing on the minimal natural monopoly functions. Helm argued that governments are increasingly intervening in infrastructure sectors like energy, water, and communications. Emerging models involve more competition where possible, with system operators overseeing universal service obligations and regulated asset bases.
Kapsarc 29.03.16
The document discusses the end of vertically integrated utility companies due to major technical changes in the energy sector. It outlines how electricity is dominating other sources of energy production and how generation, storage, and demand are changing. This will require new company structures that are no longer vertically integrated monopolies. The document also notes there will be more disruption from technological breakthroughs in areas like solar, nuclear, and transmission technologies. It concludes that the 20th century model of large, vertically integrated utilities will struggle and there will be disaggregation and unbundling of assets as companies search for new cost-reflective structures.
Flame 11.05.16
This document summarizes a presentation given by Professor Dieter Helm on the new energy world following the COP21 climate conference. It discusses how factors like the end of the commodity super cycle for oil and gas, the implementation of carbon constraints, and new technologies will impact key countries and energy companies. The presentation addresses how these changes may lead to a more electric-based future with higher standards for supply security and new players in the electricity sector like car companies and tech firms providing multiple sources of generation and storage.
Wec 24.01.17
This document discusses 3 major structural changes in global energy markets and their impacts. The changes are: 1) The end of the energy price super cycle as more oil comes online. 2) Slow progress on decarbonization efforts like the Kyoto and Paris agreements. 3) Rapid technological developments in areas like shale, renewables, energy storage, and electrification that are transforming the industry. The impacts discussed are falling oil prices pressuring North Sea production, decarbonization potentially closing the North Sea, and digitization changing electricity markets and challenging traditional business models.
Npf 18.01.17
This document outlines the key topics to be discussed regarding structural changes in global energy markets. The 3 big changes are: 1) The end of the energy super cycle of high oil prices. 2) Little progress on decarbonization despite Kyoto and Paris agreements. 3) Rapid technology changes like shale, renewables, energy storage, and more that are transforming energy generation and use. The geopolitical implications and impacts on companies and energy market designs will also be examined. Conclusions will address how decarbonization is unstoppable and technology will solve the carbon problem, transforming energy markets for 21st century companies.
Trinity 06.02.17
This document outlines an agenda to establish a framework for natural capital accounting and conservation. It discusses defining natural capital assets and different types. It also covers establishing thresholds and safe limits for ecosystems based on science. The document proposes aggregate natural capital rules to maintain or increase renewable natural capital. It discusses implementing natural capital accounts, identifying economic benefits of nature, and integrating these into national policies and budgets. Pioneering projects are proposed in specific areas, with an overall 25 year plan aiming to leave the environment in better condition than it was inherited.
Ip week 2017
This document discusses the challenges facing oil producers from declining oil prices in the long run due to factors like decarbonization and increasing renewable energy. It predicts that oil prices may gradually fall and stabilize around $50-60 per barrel. This will have economic consequences for major oil exporting countries as they become less reliant on oil revenues. National oil companies will need to transform and diversify their economies. International oil companies will also face challenges adapting to lower oil prices by increasing output or shifting operations. The future remains uncertain but many countries and companies will need to transition away from dependence on oil exports or production.
Plant sci 24.05.17
The document summarizes a plant science seminar at the University of Oxford on natural capital and sustainable economic growth. It discusses using an asset-based approach to view natural resources as capital that requires maintenance and enhancement. There are two proposed "natural capital rules" - keeping the stock of renewable resources constant and compensating for depletion of non-renewables. The document outlines accounting for natural capital assets, using economic rents from non-renewable depletion for investment in renewables, and funding major green infrastructure through taxes to support sustainable growth while maintaining natural capital.
Gfs 31.05.17 f
This document summarizes a presentation given by Professor Dieter Helm on the end of fossil fuels. It discusses two major game changers: 1) The permanent end of the energy price super cycle as supplies of oil, gas and coal are abundant. 2) New low-carbon technologies like solar, batteries, and electric vehicles will transform energy markets and make them dominated by electricity. This will have major geopolitical impacts and change the landscape of energy companies and markets. Decarbonization is now unstoppable and will require fundamental rethinking of energy and climate policies.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

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.

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.

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.

Climate Change All over the World .pptx
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

- 1. Prof Dieter Helm University of Oxford 3rd March 2016
- 2. THE RATIONALE FOR A GREEN BELT • Why natural capital needs to be near to people • The multiple benefits of the Green Belt • Why the value will go on increasing as population and wealth increase • How it could be improved
- 3. NATURAL CAPITAL AND LOCATION • Access to open spaces and woodlands • Air quality and city centres • The importance of leisure • Health benefits • Biodiversity and nature
- 4. THE CASE AGAINST • Housing necessity - need to build on boundaries of cities? • Poor current values - much of the Green Belt is intensive agriculture and golf courses? • Population and concentration - there is plenty of open land to the north and west? • Low impact of marginal encroachment - a few hectares here and there do not matter? • Inhibition to economic growth - contains economic development and raises costs?
- 5. HOUSING AND HOUSING LOCATION • No shortage of brownfield sites • Advantages of increasing density • Intelligent transport and the concept of distance as time • Occupancy rates and the growth of demand
- 6. POOR CURRENT ENVIRONMENTAL VALUES • True in some places, but nothing follows • Inefficient and polluting agriculture subsidies • Air pollution would be even worse without the Green Belt, even in its current state • No excuse for poor environmental standards • and regulation • Could obviously be otherwise
- 7. POPULATION AND CONCENTRATION • Open question about 10 million more people in next two decades • Unbalanced growth in South East • System costs of greater sprawl versus concentrations • Objective of a generational enhancement of natural capital
- 8. IMPACT OF MARGINAL LOSSES TO THE GREEN BELT • Fundamental mistake in thinking Green Belt is lots of little marginal bits • Systems analysis versus CBA • The most valuable bits are precisely the bits under attack • The UK wide Green Belt and wildlife corridor concepts
- 9. ECONOMIC GROWTH • Economic growth needs to be sustainable - otherwise it will not be sustained • GDP does not measure sustainable economic growth (or much of use at all) • Natural capital is an integral part of the economy • Losses from neglecting natural capital are massive - think deaths from air pollution, obesity, biodiversity and so on… • Agricultural subsidies are growth reducing • Distance is about time not miles • Broadband (if developed properly) is transformational
- 10. A HUGE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY TO REDEFINE AND ENHANCE OUR NATURAL CAPITAL • What a green Green Belt could look like • A new revitalisation for the 21st century • Adding in the rights to access green spaces • Proper capital maintenance and enhancement of its natural capital • A new focus on natural capital not just in National Parks and on the fringes, but at the core of the economy and urban populations.
