(1) Slovakia has a forest area of 1.94 million hectares, comprising 41% of the country's land area. The growing stock and annual net increment have been increasing in recent decades.
(2) Timber felling has also been increasing and reached nearly 10 million cubic meters in 2010 due to the aging forest composition. Over 57% of forests are protected areas which restricts utilization.
(3) The national program aims to increase the competitiveness and domestic demand of the forest industry sector through sustainable forest management and increased mobilization and processing of wood resources. Specific objectives and measures are outlined to achieve these goals.
The document discusses water productivity (WP) mapping in agricultural basins. It defines WP as the ratio of agricultural output to water input. The goals of WP assessment are to identify opportunities to improve net gains from water by increasing productivity with the same water or reducing water use with little productivity decrease. WP is mapped at sub-catchment and district levels using crop yields, livestock/fisheries production, and water depletion estimates from remote sensing data. Groundtruthing involves extensive field sampling to verify productivity, land use, cropping patterns, and water sources across the Indo-Gangetic basin.
Wastewater Plant to Resource Recovery Facilitycrockettc
The document discusses Philadelphia Water Department's (PWD) efforts to transition from traditional wastewater treatment to resource recovery. PWD consumes 260 GWh of energy annually across its facilities. It has established goals and an organizational structure to promote energy conservation, renewable energy generation, and cost-effective energy management. Specific projects and initiatives include a 5.6 MW cogeneration facility under construction, studies of hydroelectric power and algae biofuels, solar installations, and recycling of aircraft de-icing fluid. The goal is to balance energy cost savings with the core mission of water and wastewater services.
Living On The Edge In The Denver Basin Finaljehndell
1) Water level data from the edges of the Denver Basin do not show consistent declines as some reports have suggested. Data from multiple locations show stable or rising water levels over several years.
2) Accurate water level data collection requires proper methods, timing of measurements, probe calibration, and accounting for time since well rehabilitation. Inconsistent or infrequent data collection can lead to incorrect conclusions about water level trends.
3) While some areas have seen water level declines, the Denver Basin aquifers as a whole still contain large volumes of groundwater. Improved data collection and sharing is needed to better understand groundwater conditions across the basin.
This document discusses modeling considerations for retrofitting existing power plants with post-combustion carbon capture and storage (CCS). It notes that existing steam cycles may be retrofitted with capture, but commercial software has limitations and bespoke modeling is needed to understand impacts on steam turbine mechanical integrity. It also stresses the need to future-proof CCS plant designs given changing capture technologies, in order to maintain compliance and improve economics over time by upgrading to newer solvents with better performance. A methodology is presented for assessing new solvents based on electricity output penalty reductions.

Climate change requires a new narrative. Professor Jeremy Williams argues that our primary concern now should not be whether climate change is human-induced, but what we are going to do about it in order that societies might protect themselves from the effects of climate change.

The document discusses the impacts of climate change on agriculture in Southeast Asian countries. It finds that climate change is already affecting the region through increased extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and disruption of ecosystems. Agriculture in Southeast Asia will likely be negatively impacted through decreased water availability, declining crop yields for rice and other grains, and threats to food security for over 1.6 billion people in South and East Asia due to reduced calorie and cereal consumption as temperatures rise. Countries most vulnerable to these effects include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Nepal.
This presentation discusses the impacts of climate change on elderly people in Bangladesh. It begins with introducing climate change and its causes such as greenhouse gases. It then discusses how climate change is affecting Bangladesh through increased flooding, cyclones, droughts and rising sea levels. The impacts of climate change place additional socio-economic and health burdens on elderly populations, including effects on livelihoods, food security, and increased heat-related illnesses. The presentation concludes with recommendations for how to support elderly people through adaptation strategies, disaster preparedness, and developing age-friendly communities.
