Innovative Slovakian hydrologist Michal Kravčík gives an introduction to his New Water Paradigm and the critical importance of regional or “small” rainwater cycles. The result is a set of empowering ecological concepts that enable people everywhere to secure clean and adequate water, prevent floods and drought and moderate local climate, simply by harvesting rainfall. Since the 1990s he has demonstrated these concepts in his native Slovakia.

Restoration Of Ground Water In Kalpitiya, Sri Lankaearthseva
Leaching of agrochemicals from intensively cultivated soils is responsible for the elevated concentrations of nitrate, nitrite, chloride and potassium in many of the irrigation wells in Kalpitiya, Srilanka.
Ground water nitrate has already exceeded the WHO drinking water guidelines of 10mgN/1 in many wells, while nitrite concentrations in some wells exceed the tolerance levels of .001 mg/L water. The area around the drinking water well was planted with non leguminous trees; mostly indigenous species of trees were used. A dense planting pattern was followed in order that a root mat be formed quickly. The trees would begin the uptake of nitrates and nitrites and thereby reduce their concentrations in the ground water and soil..........

Nitrogen Pollution and The Future of Long Island By Prof. Christopher GoblerSave The Great South Bay
How does excessive nitrogen loading effect the health and resiliency of Long Island’s coastal ecosystems?
Loss of critical habitats: Eelgrass, salt marshes
Low dissolved oxygen levels, hypoxia
Acidification, low pH
Macroalgal blooms: Sea lettuce, Ulva
Toxic algal blooms: Red, rust, brown tides
Loss or depletion of shellfisheries and finfisheries
Talk presented at the 2014 Benthic Ecology Meeting in Jacksonville. Presented by Dr. Joshua Voss, the talk focused on the coral communities of the St Lucie Reef
For Episode One of Water Matters, Prof. Gobler presents on overview of nitrogen pollution in Long Island's waters, how it feeds algal blooms and destroys habitat and endangers drinking water. Prof. Gobler also offers some potential solutions to these challenges

Aquaculture continues to significantly expand its production, making it the
fastest-growing food production sector globally.
However, the sustainability of the sector is at stake due to the predicted effects of climate change that are not only a future but also a present reality.
In this Lecture, we review the potential effects of climate change on aquaculture production and its implications on the sector ’ s sustainability.
Various elements of a changing climate, such as rising temperatures, sea-level
rise, diseases and harmful algal blooms, changes in rainfall patterns, the uncertainty of external inputs supplies, changes in sea surface salinity, and
severe climatic events have been discussed. Furthermore, several adaptation options have been presented as well as some gaps in existing knowledge that
require further investigations.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

NEWNEW WWATER DEALATER DEAL
The first of these is the principle of solidarity (the principle of water tolerance), which means that along with the design and implementation of measures which have an impact on the runoff conditions from a territory, it is necessary to take into account the Tolerance, partnership, subsidiarity
whole watershed area. Measures implemented in one territory cannot worsen the situation downstream or upstream in the watershed region.
The principle of partnership means that an analysis of the situation in the area of runoff levels from a territory (community, town, region, watershed and the like) and important decisions related to proposed measures for increasing the water-conservation ability of a catchment area and decreasing the process of erosion, only take place after discussions and mutual agreement of all deciding partners in the basin—administrators of water flows, agriculturalists, forest rangers, representatives of communities and town, landowners and experts. Anti-erosion projects and technological measures for increasing the water conservation capability of a water catchment area should be prepared and carried out in a partnership.
The principle of subsidiarity as defined in the Middle Ages and applied in the EU, in this case means that with practical administration and protection of water resources in a territory and in a watershed, that what can be done better by a lower level of public administration should be left to be handled on this level. This principle points to the need for effective decentralization of activities which can be better, faster and more cheaply handled by local or regional self-government.
autoregulation of natural processes, which means that the effect of an initial and one-time investment into the implementation of measures aimed at improving the water balance in an area should gradually each year show an improved quality of the natural environment and should raise the effectiveness of other local measures implemented in the territory.
The principle of a sustainable solution is bound together with this principle. Carrying out these mentioned measures helps eliminate some of the reasons for unwanted climate changes caused by human activities. Thus, better living conditions and a better environment for future generations will be created, the natural potential of the territory will remain the same and the protective and autoregulating functions of ecosystems will be preserved.
