Lake Oroville, California - Before Summer 2015
“the use of water that supports the ability of human society to endure and flourish into the indefinite future without undermining the integrity of the hydrological cycle or the ecological systems that depend on it.”
Sounds good.
What’s Gleick’s own critique of this?
“By itself, however, it is too general to offer guidance for water managers, planners, and scientists.
To make decisions about how to allocate and use water resources, other goals and criteria need to be identified.”

ELECTRONICA
The document discusses the causes and solutions to poor access to clean water and sanitation facilities. The key causes identified include unreliable rainfall damaging rural livelihoods and increasing urban migration, land scarcity in rural areas, and poverty among slum dwellers. Proposed solutions include increasing literacy and hygiene education, empowering rural economies, providing low-cost housing and sanitation, and utilizing technologies like solar distillation and water filtration. The implementation of these solutions is expected to raise literacy rates, increase awareness through NGO efforts, boost employment, and help more countries develop. Challenges remain around ensuring access to water for all given issues like pollution, inefficient distribution, and contamination.
Environmental education
This document discusses the importance of environmental education and sustainable development. It makes three key points:
1) Current environmental problems like pollution, natural disasters, and climate change threaten our natural resources and future generations unless consumption is reduced.
2) While science and technology can help manage environmental impacts, fundamental changes in societal attitudes and moral education are needed to achieve sustainability.
3) Environmental education curricula must go beyond teaching facts to promote hands-on learning and responsible environmental behavior starting from a young age. It should emphasize reducing consumption to safeguard resources for the future.
Importance of Environmental education for Sustainable Development
This document discusses various topics related to environmental education and sustainability. It covers: the current state of pollution; the effects of climate change like rising sea levels; how overconsumption is damaging the environment; defining sustainable development; the limited role of science and technology without also addressing societal attitudes; and how environmental education curriculum should focus on both preventing pollution and dealing with existing pollution, while instilling moral values in students.
Vaughan_3300_L8-RP
This document summarizes a research paper that examines fresh water scarcity from the perspectives of Human Development and Family Studies and Organizational Leadership. The paper concludes that in order to conserve fresh water resources, the current water management system needs to be restructured to allow for more reuse and recycling of water to adequately meet public needs. The best way to do this is to develop new water-saving technologies through organizations, while also encouraging personal conservation efforts.
[Challenge:Future] HEAL THE LAND:SAVE WATER RESOURCES
This document proposes civic education campaigns to teach the public how to conserve water resources and prevent water depletion. The campaigns would educate people through various media and community talks on techniques like collecting rainwater, dangers of pollution and wastage. The goal is to increase awareness of how individual actions like wastage and pollution contribute to water shortages, and to empower people to change behaviors and help ensure sufficient water resources for the future. Educating the public is seen as an innovative way to address water issues compared to past approaches of just building infrastructure or raising funds.
Environmental Awareness
The document discusses Rachel Carson and her efforts to protect the environment. It notes that she accomplished a lot in her life, including banning harmful toxins. It provides brief biographical details, noting she was born in 1907 in Pennsylvania and grew up on a farm, giving her first-hand knowledge of the environment. Her most significant contribution was publishing the book Silent Spring in 1962, which exposed the dangers of pesticides and helped launch the modern environmental movement.
[Challenge:Future] Brown Water Civilization
The document discusses the growing problem of water pollution worldwide and proposes a multi-pronged solution. It suggests creating a fund to educate young professionals in developing countries about water treatment techniques. It also proposes establishing community water centers to oversee local sanitation projects and offering incentives for waste water treatment programs and good water management practices among communities and industries. The goal is to increase technical knowledge, encourage local initiatives, raise awareness from an early age, and incentivize sustainable practices to address water pollution issues.

1) Current environmental problems like pollution, natural disasters, and climate change threaten our natural resources and future generations unless consumption is reduced.
2) While science and technology can help manage environmental impacts, fundamental changes in societal attitudes and moral education are needed to achieve sustainability.
3) Environmental education curricula must go beyond teaching facts to promote hands-on learning and responsible environmental behavior starting from a young age. It should emphasize reducing consumption to safeguard resources for the future.
Importance of Environmental education for Sustainable Development
This document discusses various topics related to environmental education and sustainability. It covers: the current state of pollution; the effects of climate change like rising sea levels; how overconsumption is damaging the environment; defining sustainable development; the limited role of science and technology without also addressing societal attitudes; and how environmental education curriculum should focus on both preventing pollution and dealing with existing pollution, while instilling moral values in students.

This document summarizes a research paper that examines fresh water scarcity from the perspectives of Human Development and Family Studies and Organizational Leadership. The paper concludes that in order to conserve fresh water resources, the current water management system needs to be restructured to allow for more reuse and recycling of water to adequately meet public needs. The best way to do this is to develop new water-saving technologies through organizations, while also encouraging personal conservation efforts.
[Challenge:Future] HEAL THE LAND:SAVE WATER RESOURCES
This document proposes civic education campaigns to teach the public how to conserve water resources and prevent water depletion. The campaigns would educate people through various media and community talks on techniques like collecting rainwater, dangers of pollution and wastage. The goal is to increase awareness of how individual actions like wastage and pollution contribute to water shortages, and to empower people to change behaviors and help ensure sufficient water resources for the future. Educating the public is seen as an innovative way to address water issues compared to past approaches of just building infrastructure or raising funds.
Environmental Awareness
The document discusses Rachel Carson and her efforts to protect the environment. It notes that she accomplished a lot in her life, including banning harmful toxins. It provides brief biographical details, noting she was born in 1907 in Pennsylvania and grew up on a farm, giving her first-hand knowledge of the environment. Her most significant contribution was publishing the book Silent Spring in 1962, which exposed the dangers of pesticides and helped launch the modern environmental movement.
[Challenge:Future] Brown Water Civilization
The document discusses the growing problem of water pollution worldwide and proposes a multi-pronged solution. It suggests creating a fund to educate young professionals in developing countries about water treatment techniques. It also proposes establishing community water centers to oversee local sanitation projects and offering incentives for waste water treatment programs and good water management practices among communities and industries. The goal is to increase technical knowledge, encourage local initiatives, raise awareness from an early age, and incentivize sustainable practices to address water pollution issues.

Great Teacher CharacteristicsProf. Ganesh Wagh, Ashoka International Centre for Educational Studies and research Nashik
A sense of belonging in the classroom is important for student engagement, motivation, and academic performance. When students feel personally accepted, respected, and supported by others in their school environment, they are more likely to become engaged in their studies, act in accordance with school values, develop social skills, and contribute to the school community. However, when students' needs for safety, belonging and competence are not met, they are more likely to feel alienated and less motivated, and perform poorer academically. Teachers can create a sense of belonging by decreasing negative behaviors, supporting students' psychological development, fostering scholastic achievement, and increasing retention rates.

- 2. What is Water Literacy? Water literacy is the knowledge and understanding of the role of water in our society, the impact of human activities on water resources, and the steps individuals can take to use water in a more responsible and efficient manner. Water literacy is essential to ensuring that natural resources are conserved. It is also important to recognize the human relationship with water and the diversity of perspectives on its many uses in different contexts.
- 3. Current State of Water Literacy Countries with High Water Stress: 17% Countries with Medium Water Stress: 44% Countries with Low Water Stress: 39% Despite the immediate and long-term consequences of water misuse, many people lack the knowledge of sustainable usage. There is a need to educate communities about the value of water and the potential impact of water-related activities on future generations.
- 4. Case Study: Example of a Community with High Water Literacy Green Spaces with Water Quality Monitoring Systems The city of Portland, Oregon, has collaborated with various organizations to create green public spaces that also serve as filtration systems for stormwater runoff. These green spaces aim to educate the public on how these spaces filter pollutants and aid in water conservation efforts. Portland is a model for other cities in the United States and around the world in terms of green infrastructure and water conservation efforts.
