Clean Energies
This document summarizes and provides examples of different types of renewable and clean energies, including geothermal, wind, solar, nuclear, and hydraulic energies. It notes that while clean energies have limitations in implementation, their main advantage is low contamination levels compared to fossil fuels. The document concludes that using clean energies for computing can help reduce environmental pollution through innovative non-polluting technologies.
A drop of water
Climate change is exacerbating water scarcity around the world, particularly in developing regions of Asia and Africa. By 2050, an estimated 130 million people in Asia and 180 million in Africa will live in water-scarce areas due to climate change. Competition over limited water resources can increase tensions and conflict, especially when combined with poor governance and ethnic rivalries. Several case studies from Indonesia, Central Asia, India/Pakistan/Bangladesh, and China illustrate how water scarcity caused or exacerbated by climate change is already causing disputes and social instability in those regions.

India may have dodged a bullet as Cyclone Phalin strikes Bay of Bengal 12 October 2013. Cyclone Phalin is one of the most powerful cyclones in history, yet the death toll reported as of 14 October only 21. 900,000 residents were evacuated to shelters in schools and government offices. Authorities also moved food and medicine close to affected areas before the storm. Those preparations now are credited with the huge reduction in casualties compared with 1999's Cyclone Orissa, which killed 10,000 and caused more than $2 billion in damage. The comparatively low mortality this time may be result of effective strategic planning and collaboration (i.e., working together on a common goal) for becoming cyclone disaster resilient Water resources
Most of the Earth's water is not suitable for direct human use, with over 97% located in oceans and seas. Freshwater accounts for just 0.62% of total water, with 1.5% from surface water sources and the majority from groundwater. Reliance on groundwater can lead to land subsidence over time. Water resources are replenished through the hydrological cycle of precipitation, evaporation, and condensation influenced by temperature, humidity, and wind conditions.
Hydropower
Hydropower is a renewable source of energy that provides about 96% of renewable energy in the United States. Water falling through turbines powered by gravity generates electricity. Dams are constructed on streams and rivers to store water and produce a constant flow to drive the turbines. While hydropower has advantages like being a constant source of energy and producing no greenhouse gases, dams are expensive to build and can negatively impact local environments and populations.

This document provides information about the Narmada Bachao Andolan movement in India. It began as a social movement opposing large dams being built across the Narmada River in the states of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. The movement, led by Medha Patkar and Baba Amte, campaigns through hunger strikes and garnering support from celebrities. It was formed to give voice to the concerns of adivasis, farmers and environmentalists about the negative impacts of the dams, especially the Sardar Sarovar Dam, on local communities without proper rehabilitation efforts. The movement received the Right Livelihood Award in 1991 for its activism on the issue.
Renewable energy
The document discusses renewable energy, including reasons for its use, sources of renewable energy, current global status, and renewable energy in Turkey. It notes that renewable energy has wide geographical availability, helps mitigate climate change and improves energy safety. It is used globally for electricity generation, heating/cooling, transportation and off-grid energy services. Over 30 nations currently source over 21.7% of their energy supply from renewables and 120 have long term renewable plans. Turkey currently sources 19% of its energy from renewable sources mostly hydro, but aims to increase this to 30% by 2023.
Water
While the total amount of water on Earth remains constant, water is constantly moving around through the water cycle. Surface water, found in rivers, lakes, and streams, makes up only 0.25% of the total water on Earth but is extremely important for land animals and humans. Underground water, located deep below the Earth's surface and deposited over millions of years from rain and snow, also provides a supply of fresh water nearly anywhere on Earth.

A natural disaster is a major adverse event caused by natural processes of the Earth, such as floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. Floods occur when a body of water, such as a river or lake, overflows its usual boundaries onto land that is not normally submerged. The primary effects of flooding include loss of life, damage to buildings and infrastructure, and economic hardship from rebuilding costs and loss of tourism. Precautions during a flood include not walking or driving through floodwaters and avoiding contact with electrical equipment when wet. A drought is a prolonged period of below average precipitation that can last months or years and severely impact local ecosystems and agriculture. The effects of drought include restrictions on water supply
Hydrometereorology
This document discusses hydrometeorology and related instruments. It begins by defining hydrometeorology as the branch of science dealing with water in the atmosphere. It then lists and describes various hydro-meteorological instruments such as thermometers, psychrometers, barometers, and sunshine recorders. The document concludes by briefly outlining the vertical structure of the atmosphere, including the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and ionosphere.
Drought
.
A “drought” is an extended period of deficient rainfall relative to the statistical multi-year average for a region. But because of the various ways it is measured, an objective drought definition has yet to be produced upon which everyone can agree.
The four types are: meteorological (lack of precipitation), agricultural, (lack of moisture in the soil where crops grow), hydrological (low levels of water in lakes and reservoirs), and socioeconomic (water shortages in drinking and running water).
Only .003% of water on Earth is freshwater available for human consumption. Save water by challenging friends to only use 13 gallons of water in a day. (It’s harder than it sounds!) Sign up for 13 Gallon Challenge.
Meteorologists predict drought based on precipitation patterns, stream flow, and moisture of soil over long periods of time.
In the United States, droughts are most likely to occur in the Midwest and the South.
Hydrologic cycle
The hydrologic cycle describes the constant circulation of water on Earth. Water evaporates from the oceans and atmosphere due to solar radiation. It exists as water vapor in the atmosphere and condenses to form clouds and precipitation. Precipitation falls back to Earth as rain, snow, or hail. Some precipitation is intercepted by vegetation or structures, where it either evaporates back into the atmosphere or flows across and through the ground as surface water or groundwater. Runoff water flows through streams and rivers back to the oceans, completing the cycle.

The Hydrological Cycle
This document describes the hydrological cycle, which involves the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It explains the main components of the cycle, including evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and groundwater flow. It also notes that the cycle generally maintains a balance, but human activities like deforestation, groundwater extraction, and climate change can disrupt this balance and cause issues like increased flooding and soil erosion.
Drought
Drought is defined as a period with less than average water supply, whether surface or underground. It can last months or years and is caused by consistently low precipitation. There are four types of drought: meteorological based on dryness compared to normal; agricultural linking dryness to farm impacts; hydrological associated with low streamflow and reservoirs; and socioeconomic when people are affected by water shortages. Drought damages include direct losses like income and indirect losses like reduced revenues. Causes are natural like less rain or human-made like overuse of water.
Framing hydropower as green energy
This document summarizes a paper that examines hydropower development in the Eastern Himalayas region of Nepal and India. It questions the framing of hydropower as "green energy" and analyzes the risks and tensions associated with development. Specifically, the document notes that over 200 dams are planned for the region, but that climate change impacts like increased flow variability may undermine the reliability of baseline data used for infrastructure design. It also discusses how hydropower development intersects with climate change impacts and vulnerabilities in the region. Finally, the document outlines how contemporary hydropower initiatives rely more on private actors and financing compared to past development led by international financial institutions.
hydroelectricity
This document discusses hydroelectric energy as an alternative energy source. It provides the history of hydroelectric power, explaining how waterwheels were used as early as ancient Greece. It also outlines how hydroelectric power works by converting the kinetic energy of moving water into electricity using turbines. The advantages listed are that it is a clean, domestic, and renewable source of energy. However, disadvantages include potential impacts to fish populations and water quality/flow. The largest hydroelectric plant is located on the Yangzi River in China. Overall, the document presents hydroelectric power as a viable alternative energy option.
Water Resources
This document discusses various topics related to water resources including fresh water, sources of fresh water, groundwater usage, floods, droughts, conflicts over water, and dams. It notes that fresh water supply is decreasing while demand is increasing. Surface water comes from rivers, lakes, and wetlands, and is replenished by precipitation, while groundwater resides underground in aquifers and provides over 20% of water usage. Floods occur when rivers exceed their capacity and can have devastating human and economic impacts. Drought is caused by reduced rainfall and affects agriculture, wildlife, and communities. Water conflicts have occurred and will continue between nations that share river systems. Dams have played an important role in water storage and irrigation worldwide.
Deiva ict
The document provides an introduction to hydrology and the hydrological cycle. It notes that over 97% of the Earth's water is found in oceans, while less than 3% is located on land in glaciers, ice caps, groundwater, rivers, lakes, and atmospheric water vapor. The hydrological cycle describes the continuous movement of water on and below the Earth's surface through processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and groundwater. Water is constantly changing forms through this cycle, whether rapidly or over millions of years.
Chapter 5
This document discusses the natural environment. It defines the natural environment as all living and non-living things that occur naturally on Earth, including the interaction of living species, climate, weather and natural resources. It describes the natural environment as having complete ecological units and universal natural resources. It also outlines the different spheres (lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere) that correspond to rocks, water, air and life. Finally, it provides brief descriptions of geology and rivers.

We need to save water through conservation to ensure future generations have access to clean water. Conserving water means using it wisely and protecting its purity so we can continue enjoying the benefits of this vital resource. Rainwater harvesting provides an independent water source during droughts or restrictions, helps prevent flooding, replenishes groundwater levels to sustain well yields, and reduces water salinity and iron content to improve quality.
Water
This document provides information about the Narmada Bachao Andolan movement. It summarizes that the movement was started in 1985 against the construction of large dams on the Narmada River, including the Sardar Sarovar Dam, which would displace over 250,000 people. Led by activist Medha Patkar, the Narmada Bachao Andolan mobilized local people, farmers, environmentalists and human rights activists to peacefully protest the dams. The movement gained international support and pressured the World Bank to withdraw funding for the dam projects.
Economics
Groundwater is a major source of drinking water in India. Pumping water out of the ground faster than it can be replenished causes the volume of groundwater to decrease in many areas. This groundwater depletion leads to negative effects such as the drying up of wells, reduction of water in streams and lakes, deterioration of water quality, increased pumping costs, and land subsidence.

Rainwater harvesting is the collection and storage of rainwater before it reaches the aquifer. It is practiced widely in parts of India like Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, and Kerala. The process involves collecting rainwater via catchment areas and conduits, filtering it, and storing it in tanks to recharge groundwater. Advantages include providing an independent water supply during restrictions and promoting water and energy conservation.
Chemistry
Hard water forms soap scum instead of lather due to calcium and magnesium ions destroying the surfactant properties of soap. There are two types of water hardness: temporary hardness caused by bicarbonates that can be removed by boiling, and permanent hardness caused by sulphates that require a water softener to remove.

This document summarizes popular struggles related to water in Bolivia and Sudan. In Bolivia, the Cochabamba Water War protests took place from 1999-2000 in response to the privatization of the municipal water supply and dramatic rate increases. Tens of thousands protested, leading the government to reverse privatization. In Sudan, water conflicts stem from northern Arab expansion and mechanized farming threatening southern subsistence farmers. One conflict was over the Jonglei Canal project to drain swampland for farming, but it threatened local tribes and was attacked by the Sudan People's Liberation Army, forcing suspension of the project.
