Relooking water resources pragyan viii ruby s.s. projectPramod Sahu
Relooking our Water Resources. a ppt prepared by my daughter Pragya as a part of her group assignment. This ppt attempts to see our water resources as a whole, distribution of freshwater, Water utilization,Global Challenges, Ways to Conserve and Impacts of Water Conservation, A nice way to get a broader canvas from Today's Children's perspective.
Climate Change And Water Crisis- Obstacle for the sustainable environment. Climate change is a complex problem that has increased the need for an integrated, multi-sectorial and multidisciplinary response. Apart from the normal water domain, decision-makers in other spheres (finance, trade, energy, housing, regional planning, agriculture) must use and consume water efficiently. Sustainable management and development of water resources will play a pivotal role in preparing societies’ ability to adapt to climate change in order to increase resilience and achieve development goals.
The seminar report aims to draw attention to the critical importance of better water resources management in adapting to climate change and gives reasons why it should be systematically integrated into national plans and international investment.
• Find out causes of climate change and its impact on the water crisis.
• Water sources and demand of water.
• Actions to improve the ability to understand impacts, vulnerability, and adaptation to climate change in the water sector;
• Actions were taken to enhance informed decisions on adaptation planning, measures, and action.
Drought refers to a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water. A drought can last for several months or years. Sometimes, droughts are declared for a full district for a few years.
It can have a substantial impact on the ecosystem and agriculture of the affected region and harm to the local life and economy. This module highlights the basics of climatic drought.
Sustainable management of the natural resource base is one of a very few, truly fundamental issues that the international community will be obliged to address effectively over the next two decades. The last twenty years have seen an emphasis on global and national economic management; the next twenty will need to address environmental management effectively.
This needs to follow a globally structured approach, based on adequate, reliable, up-to-date data and knowledge, and governed by appropriate international strategies and agreements. One key product sorely lacking to reach this goal is an overview of where land degradation takes place at what intensity and how land users are addressing this problem through sustainable land management. In order to fill this knowledge gap, three projects (WOCAT, LADA, DESIRE) have come together to establish the current status, while mapping out a route forward.

Climate change vulnerability and adaptation in Egygpt and NAP processNAP Events
Presented by: Mohamed Ismail Ibrahim Elsehamy
7.2 Approaches / adaptation solutions (1/2)
The section will provide best practices regarding various adaptation approaches or solutions at various scales based on latest science. Examples to be featured include ecosystem-based approaches, community based adaptation, responses to heat waves and ways to deal with shifting growing seasons in agriculture. The session will also feature practical experiences from countries in addressing issues at multiple scales. This is the first of two sessions on this topic. The second is under session 8.1.

Pulses such as lentils, dried beans, peas and chickpeas have been staple foods for many civilizations. Yet today, their nutritional benefits are often greatly underestimated. In some cultures pulses have a stigma of being a ‘poor man’s food’ and are replaced by meat once people can afford meat.

Our environment is constantly changing. There is no denying that. However, as our environment changes, so does the need to become increasingly aware of the problems that surround it. With a massive influx of natural disasters, warming and cooling periods, different types of weather patterns and much more, people need to be aware of what types of environmental problems our planet is facing.
Land is a complex, multi-component natural entity that becomes a resource base when used for a specific purpose or purposes. Land degradation is a concept in which the value of the biophysical environment is affected by one or more combination of natural and human-induced processes acting upon the land. It is a temporary or Permanent decline in the productive capacity of land. It is also the reduction in the capability of the land to produce benefits from a particular land use under a specified form of land management. Major forms of land degradation are water and wind erosion, desertification and chemical erosion. Urban expansion is also a form of land degradation. Negative effects of land degradation affect heavily on environment and economy which is a cause of grave concern. Land degradation has significant costs, particularly in developing countries (Rosegrant and Ringler, 1991). It does not only reduces farm productivity affecting livelihood and regional economies, it also leads to reduced biodiversity. Land degradation in most developing countries is becoming a major constraint to future growth and development. About 40-75% of the world’s agricultural land’s productivity is reduced due to land degradation (IFPRI, 2001). Increased support for research and extension to increase crop yields is crucial to meeting the needs of a growing human population for food, biomass energy, fiber, and timber. There is a need to increase support to biodiversity preservation by alleviating pressure to convert remaining natural habitat to croplands. There is a need for more public investments to support SLM to slow land degradation.
Soil is one of the most important water storage in nature.
Water content in the soil is very significant parameter of water regime of the country which significantly depends on soil area and quality of soil. Lower acreage of soil and lower soil quality lead to less water content in the country and vice versa.
Human activities (agriculture, forest management, soil sealing) are still important factors of water regimes of land.
Mainly agriculture drives the soil water regime from positive or negative points of view.

nutrients to feed a world of
9 billion in 2050 ?

2. In the 2050’s the world population will climb
up to approximately 9,3 billion, while at
present our world has already reached the
limit of arable lands which are reducing day
by day, because of misuse of earth, pollution
of enviroment, inadequate settlements and
other reasons.

5. In many parts of the world, as well as in
Europe, we are now testing the limits of the
resilience and multi-functional capacities of
soil.Globally, nearly 2 billion hectares of land
are affected by human-induced degradation
of soils (UN 2000). The food needs of
increasing populations is leading to even
greater intensification of agriculture,
streching thereby the capacity of soils to
release and absorb nutrients and chemicals.
November 2012
6. Expension of built-up areas and
infrastructure, particularly in large urban
agglomerations, is sealing off the soil from
productive uses.
Each year an additional 20 million hectares
of agricultural land become too degraded for
crop production, or are lost to urban sprawl.
Soils are being degraded physically and
chemically due to erosion, exhaustion
(nutrient depletion) and pollution.
November 2012
7. Soil’s diverse living organisms are being
reduced, and consequently the cleaning and
filtering capacities of soils in many localities
are being damaged beyond repair.
Soil is a limited and not renewable resources,
and unlike air and water damage to soil is
not easily
recoverable.

8. Average global temperatures are projected
to rise by between 1.4 and 5.8 ˚C by 2100. By
2030 the increase will be rather lower than
this between 0.5 and 1 ˚C .
Mean sea level is projected to rise by 15 to
20 cm by 2030 and by 50 cm by 2100.The rise
will lead to the loss of low-lying land through
flooding, seawater intrusions and storm
surges.

9. Under the EC baseline
scenario, the water erosion
risk is expected to increase by
the year 2050 in about 80% of
EU agricultural areas, as an
effect of climate change.

11. To create a wealth by excessively consuming
the world’s resources and making impossible
demands to the environment is no more
possible.Therefore we must accept more
adequate consumption models for utilizing
the world and human resources more
rationally and must change from
consumptive to thrifty
economy. Nasa visible earth-Norman
