Coastal erosion and sea level rise
Coastal erosion is a serious problem for Italy, with approximately 42% of Italy's low-lying and delta coastlines already experiencing erosion. The highest erosion rates are occurring along Italy's major river deltas such as the Arno, Obrone, Volturno, and Po Rivers, where retreat rates can reach 10 meters per year. Multiple factors are contributing to Italy's coastal erosion, including sea level rise, land subsidence, and decreasing river sediment loads.
Water earth
Water covers most of the Earth's surface. The majority is ocean water, while freshwater makes up only 3% and is found in rivers, lakes, glaciers, and underground. The water cycle involves continuous movement of water between the oceans, atmosphere, and land through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Oceans contain over 97% of Earth's water and generate currents, tides, and waves through the influence of wind and the gravitational pull of the sun and moon. Rivers are important freshwater sources that flow from highlands to oceans, providing water, energy, transportation and fertile land for humans. However, too much or too little water causes problems like floods and water scarcity that endanger people and ecosystems.

Flakevatn is situated in the mountains of central Norway and belongs to the cold monomictic category. Studies examined its annual heat budgets, silica content, and found heat budgets of 15673 cal cm-2 in 2004 and 13074 cal cm-2 in 2005.

Key issues facing the region are water pollution from waste, water scarcity during disasters, and wastage from aging pipes.

Water natural resources in Bulgaria Babriela Yankova
Surface water resources in Bulgaria include rivers, lakes, swamps, and the Black Sea. Bulgaria has a dense river network that flows into the Aegean Sea and Danube drainage basins. Underground water resources consist of groundwater, artesian water, karst water, and mineral water found throughout Bulgaria. The distribution of water resources is affected by climate, geology, relief, and human activities. Water is an important resource that is used for water supply, electricity, irrigation, industry, and tourism, but improper use and pollution pose problems that require conservation measures.

Natural water resources in Bulgaria include over 500 rivers and lakes. The largest reservoir is the Iskar Reservoir, which provides 2/3 of water for Sofia and has a total volume of 673 million cubic meters. The longest river is the Maritsa River at 480 km, which flows through southern Bulgaria and is used for power and irrigation. Lake Burgas is the largest natural lake, covering 27.6 square km and home to diverse wildlife, though it has faced pollution issues from nearby industry. Both natural occurrences and human activities like pollution and overuse present challenges to Bulgaria's water resources.
Waterand refugees Anna
1. The document discusses the link between water and refugees, noting that nearly 2 billion people lack access to clean water and over 2 billion lack adequate sanitation. Where refugees flee to often have scarce water resources and little infrastructure.
2. It provides an overview of Bulgaria's refugee reception centers, including their locations and capacities. Many of the centers are located in former military or school buildings that have been converted.
3. Hygiene and sanitation are ongoing challenges in the centers. Regular cleaning is conducted but refugees also help clean their sleeping quarters. Protective gear is used and potable water and sometimes hot water are normally available.
water-for-refugees IVAYLO
The document discusses water issues faced by refugees and potential solutions. It notes that refugees need a constant water source while temporarily in Bulgaria but many do not have refugee status or knowledge of the local language, making it difficult to access water. The most effective solution proposed is refugee camps, as they allow for centralized water distribution and monitoring of quality. However, poor water quality in camps has led to disease outbreaks. Interviews with an environmental analyst suggest that improved regulations and sustainable sources tailored to camps are needed to ensure adequate and safe water for refugees.
WATER AND SCIENCE
Aquatic plants and animals have adapted to living in water. Aquatic plants reproduce through both flowering and fragmentation, and examples include water lilies, lotus, and hyacinth. The document also outlines characteristics of aquatic animals such as breathing through gills or skin, examples including fish, whales, otters, and frogs, and sources of information on aquatic life.
Water idioms Dictionary Bulgaria
This document contains a collection of idioms and their meanings. Some of the idioms and their meanings included are: "Be like oil and water" which means as different as can be; "Still waters run deep" which refers to quiet people often being very thoughtful; and "To have water up to the throat" which means one can't stand something any longer. In total, the document defines the meanings behind 16 common idioms related to water.
Water and tourism Bulgaria
Bulgaria has over 700 mineral springs with water varying in chemical composition, temperature, and properties. Many towns in Bulgaria are tourist centers because of their mineral pools and springs. The mineral water in different towns is used for healing purposes in balneotherapy, bottling, and drinking.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Erasmus wow water_resources_sicily
- 1. ERASMUS+ W.O.W. “WATER RESOURCES IN SICILY” TM – ITALY 19-23 March 2018 Ludovica Coco
- 2. Sicily is the biggest Mediterranean island, surrounded by three water basins: Tyrrhenian Sea (Northern part), Strait of Sicily (Southern part), Ionian Sea (Eastern part). The Sicilian region comprehends also 15 smaller islands. Due to its position in the Mediterranean Sea, it has been the crossroad for several ancient peoples and has constituted a melting pot of different cultures.
- 3. Water cycle in Sicily and possible sources of water: 1) Salty water (the sea and salines) – 2) Ice water (mountain ridges) – 3) Fresh water (rivers) – 4) Mineral water (phreatic layers)
- 4. Water “hot-spots” in Sicily Here We are 1 2 3 4
- 5. 1) Salty water (the sea and salines) Water from the sea is the main economic resource for Sicily, due to fisheries and fish farms. The bathing tourism is also of primary importance. Salines, small ponds for the extraction of the marine salt, were particularly active in the Roman time. Isola Bella, Taormina
- 7. 2) Ice water (mountain ridges) Snow and ice melting from the Etna Volcano and from the three main mountain ridges in the northern part of the island, are important source of pure fresh water (superficial and phreatic). Madonie Mountains, Palermo Etna Volcano, Catania
- 8. 3) Fresh water (rivers) Lakes are not abundant in Sicily, but seasonal torrents and rivers, especially in the North-East side of Sicily, represent strategic source of water. Cyane River flows near to Syracuse town and it shows tropical habit, such as the natural presence of the Egyptian papyrus plant. Cyane River, Syracuse
- 9. Alcantara River, Messina Simeto River, Catania Simeto and Alcatara are the two main rivers of eastern Sicily. Both of them cross through prehistoric basaltic lava.
- 10. 4) Mineral water (phreatic layers) Ice melting and meteoric water feed numerous underground water ways, which are rich in minerals from the soil. These phreatic waters are useful for drinking and for thermal tourism. Volcano Island, Messina Gorna Thermas, Trapani Healthy thermal baths are not rare in Sicily, due to the presence of phreatic waters from volcanic and tectonic faults.
