The document discusses the history of waste management and pollution regulation in the United States and Oklahoma from ancient times to present day. It notes that humans have long been concerned with the environmental effects of dumping garbage and waste. National waste management laws began emerging in the late 1800s and have expanded significantly since the 1960s with the passage of acts like the Solid Waste Disposal Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. The document also examines how pollutants can accumulate and concentrate as they move up the food chain, posing risks to human health.

The principal, over‐arching aim of any catchment management work is to improve the water quality in our freshwater ecosystems and to make a significant contribution to their attainment of good ecological status in accordance with requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive. It is therefore vital that sufficient evidence is collected to provide an
objective and robust assessment of the improvements delivered.
In this review we explore the data and evidence available, which, taken together, demonstrate qualitatively and quantitatively that the delivery of integrated catchment management interventions can realise genuine improvements in water quality. To support the evidence collected, we have also summarised a number of case studies which demonstrate catchment management in action.

IEEE SusTech Global Future of Water Presentation 11/14/17Mark Goldstein
Water remains an essential element for life that plays a central and critical role in all aspects of our national and global economies and environment. We are entering an era of immense water-related threats due to climate change and human actions bringing floods, droughts, reduced water availability, and degraded water quality that threaten communities, nations, and global sociopolitical and economic security.
This presentation covers water futures from a macro level as regions, governments, and industries prepare for and manage increasing water-related threats utilizing traditional and emergent technologies to resolve these issues and provide water and sanitation that address the needs of all. It also will cover water futures from at a more personal and community level featuring technological advances and rediscovery of appropriate technology of the past to forge a water-secure future.
How many people can comfortably fit into your car? What happens when you double that number? Can your car safely and comfortably carry you all? What about the planet? Everyone has to have someplace to live, they must eat, they must use the bathroom, take baths, cook, clean and do all the things we humans do. But what happens when there are too many people crowded into an area? Can the earth carry that load, so to speak? Should there be fewer people, or should people simply learn new and more efficient ways to use the resources we have available?

Sustainable development (WATER POLLUTION)Abdul Qayum
Safe water and adequate sanitation are indispensable for healthy ecosystems, reducing poverty, and achieving inclusive growth, social well and being and sustainable livelihoods.
Flooding occurs somewhere in the world approximately 10,000 times every day as the consequences of a locale having more water than the local water cycle can process within its physical limits. Floods occur as the result of: extreme levels of , precipitation in thunderstorms, tropical storms, typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones; in storm surges, and in tsunami wave run up. We continue to operate with a flawed premise: Knowledge from flood disasters, which occur in association with great subduction zone earthquakes in the Pacific and Indian oceans and are very well understood, therefore flood disaster resilience should be accomplished relatively easily by vulnerable countries. Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is, floods are not annual events; they are also complex, so most nations, whether impacted or not, usually are slow to adopt and implement policies based on science and recent catastrophic events making flood disaster resilience a very elusive goal to achieve. What have we learned from recent past floods to increase survivability? First of all, the timing of anticipatory actions is vital. People who know: 1) what to expect (e.g., strong ground motion, soil effects, flood wave run up, ground failure), where and when floods have historically happened, and 3) what they should (and should not) do to prepare for them, will survive. Secondly, timely, realistic disaster scenarios save lives. The people who have timely, realistic, advance information that facilitates reduction of vulnerabilities, and hence the risks associated with strong ground shaking, flood wave run up, and ground failure will survive. Thirdly, Emergency preparedness and response. The “Uncontrollable and Unthinkable” events will always hinder the timing of emergency response operations, especially the search and rescue operations that are limited to “the golden 48 hours.” The local community’s capacity for emergency health care (i,e., coping with damaged hospitals and medical facilities, lack of clean drinking water, food, and medicine, and high levels of morbidity and mortality) is vital for survival. And finally, earthquake engineer building save lives. Buildings engineered to withstand the risks from an earthquake’s strong ground shaking and ground failure that cause damage, collapse, and loss of function, is vital for protecting occupants and users from death and injury.

A torrential rain event during the first full week of March 2016 featuring over two feet of record March rain in the South unleashed major river flooding, rising to historic levels in some areas. Add flooding along the Gulf Coast, and the disaster became a triple assault. In all, 400 homes flooded in Mississippi. Three people were killed in Louisiana, the governor said. In one case, a driver died when floodwater swept his vehicle off a road in Bienville Parish, the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness said. The two others died in Ouachita Parish, according to the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals.

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.
"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.

1. POINTS AND ISSUES PRESENTATION
SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT HAVE MANDATORY REFORMS FOR POLLUTING INDUSTRIES?
BY: SARAH MASSEY
2. HISTORY OF LAWS REGULATING POLLUTING
INDUSTRIES:
• EVEN IN THE PAST THERE HAS BEEN MAJOR CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF
HUMANS FROM POLLUTING THE ENVIRONMENT.
• GARBAGE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE BEFORE 10,000 B.C.. ONCE HUMANS
BEGAN MOVING AWAY FROM NOMADIC LIVING TO PRIMITIVE LIVING
• PEOPLE REALIZED A LONG TIME AGO THE EFFECTS THAT DUMPING CERTAIN
ITEMS WOULD MAKE.
3. NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE ON WASTE
MANAGEMENT
• IN THE 1800S, AS LATE AS THE CIVIL WAR, PIGS, GOATS, AND STRAY DOGS WERE FREE TO ROAM THE STREETS AS
"BIOLOGICAL VACUUM CLEANERS." IN FACT, THE NEED TO HAVE ANIMALS AVAILABLE TO EAT THE GARBAGE WAS SUCH A
CONCERN THAT CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA ENACTED AN ORDINANCE IN 1834 TO PROHIBIT VULTURE HUNTING
BECAUSE THEY ATE THE CITY'S GARBAGE!
• 1956- ONLY 37% OF NATIONAL LANDFILLS WERE TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
• 1965- CONGRESS PASSED A THE SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL ACT (SWDA) WHICH WAS DESIGNED TO ASSIST STATE AND
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WITH THE TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL ASPECTS OF DEVELOPING AND MANAGING WASTE
DISPOSAL PROGRAMS AND TO PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF GUIDELINES FOR WASTE COLLECTION,
TRANSPORTATION, RECOVERY, AND DISPOSAL.
• 1970- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WAS BORN
• 1976- 1976, CONGRESS EXPANDED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S ROLL IN WASTE MANAGEMENT BY PASSING THE
RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT (RCRA). THE GOAL OF THE RCRA. TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT,
CONSERVE RESOURCES, AND REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF WASTE BEING GENERATED.
• 1980- CONGRESS PASSED THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION, AND LIABILITY ACT
(CERCLA). ITS PURPOSE WAS TO IMPLEMENT A NATIONAL RESPONSE FOR PROBLEMS RESULTING FROM PAST
HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, TO IMPOSE LIABILITY ON THOSE ENTITIES CREATING THE PROBLEM, AND
TO REMEDIATE CONTAMINATED SOILS AND GROUNDWATER CAUSED BY THOSE PRACTICES
4. OKLAHOMA’S PERSPECTIVE
• 1890 – 1906: WHEN STATUTES IDENTIFIED SPECIFIC, PROHIBITED DISPOSAL PRACTICES, THEY TYPICALLY WERE
DIRECTED TOWARD PREVENTION OF WATER POLLUTION OR THE SPREAD OF DISEASE TO ANIMALS OR HUMANS,
RATHER THAN ATTEMPT TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL. FOR EXAMPLE, IN
OKLAHOMA TERRITORY IT WAS UNLAWFUL TO:
• "[THROW] GAS TAR, OR REFUSE OF ANY GAS HOUSE OR FACTORY INTO ANY PUBLIC WATERS, RIVER, OR
STREAM, OR INTO ANY SEWER OR STREAM EMPTYING INTO ANY SUCH PUBLIC WATER, RIVER, OR STREAM;"45
• "[DISPOSE] OF ANY ARTICLE OF FOOD, DRINK, DRUG, OR MEDICINE [KNOWN TO BE] TAINTED, DECAYED,
SPOILED, OR OTHERWISE UNWHOLESOME OR UNFIT TO BE EATEN OR DRANK WITH INTENT [THAT THE MATERIAL
BE CONSUMED] BY ANY PERSON OR ANIMAL;"46
• "PUT ANY DEAD ANIMAL, CARCASS, OR PART THEREOF, INTO ANY WELL, SPRING, BROOK, OR BRANCH OF
RUNNING WATER [USED FOR] DOMESTIC PURPOSES...[OR] INTO ANY RIVER, CREEK, OR POND;" 47OR
• "PUT ANY DEAD ANIMAL OR ANY PART OF A CARCASS OF A DEAD ANIMAL IN ANY ROAD, STREET, ALLEY, LANE,
LOT, FIELD MEADOW, COMMON OR SCHOOL SECTION, WITHOUT BURYING [AT LEAST TWO FEET DEEP]."
5. OKLAHOMA’S PERSPECTIVE (CONT.)
• 1970: THE OKLAHOMA SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT ACT
• 1976: THE OKLAHOMA HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT ACT
• 1980: OKLAHOMA'S SUPERFUND PROGRAM
• 1989: THE OKLAHOMA WASTE TIRE RECYCLING ACT
• 1993: THE OKLAHOMA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
• 1994: THE OKLAHOMA UNIFORM ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING ACT
• 1996: THE OKLAHOMA BROWNFIELDS VOLUNTARY REDEVELOPMENT ACT
6. SO HOW MANY DISPOSAL SITES ARE THERE
JUST IN OKLAHOMA?
CURRENTLY THERE ARE:
• 46 SOLID WASTE TRANSFER
STATIONS
• 37 MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
LANDFILLS
• 11 PRIVATELY-OWNED, NON-
HAZARDOUS INDUSTRIAL WASTE
LANDFILLS
• 8 CONSTRUCTION/DEMOLITION
LANDFILLS
• 7 MEDICAL WASTE PROCESSING
FACILITIES
• 3 YARD WASTE COMPOSTING
FACILITIES
• 9 PRIVATELY-OWNED, NON-
HAZARDOUS WASTE INJECTION
WELLS
• 1 MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
INCINERATOR
• 1 COMMERCIAL HAZARDOUS WASTE
LANDFILL
• 1 COMMERCIAL, NON-HAZARDOUS
WASTE INJECTION WELL
7. THERE ARE MANY WAYS SOMEONE MAY GET
RID OF WASTE:
• LANDFILL
• DUMPING AT SEA OR LOCAL
RIVERS/LAKES
• BURNIING
• ETC.
8. • EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE MANY WAYS THAT
HUMANS DISPOSE OF WASTE, THERE WAS ONE
THAT REALLY CAPTURED MY ATTENTION; THE
DISPOSING OF WASTE IN OUR WATERS. EVEN
THOUGH IT IS REGULATED AT A CONSIDERABLY
SAFE AMOUNT FOR HUMANS, THERE IS
SOMETHING THAT IS STILL IMPORTANT TO
REALIZE.
9. SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN “SAFE AMOUNTS”
OF WASTE IS DUMPED INTO OUR WATER?
• WHEN WASTE LIKE MERCURY OR LEAD IS DUMPED INTO OUR
WATERS, IT IS DUMPED AT A SAFE AMOUNT FOR HUMANS. THE
ONLY ISSUE IS WHEN THEY DUMP THE CHEMICAL INTO THE WATER
IT CAN BE EATEN BY A SMALL ORGANISM, LIKE A PLANKTON THEN
THE PLANKTON MAY GET EATEN BY A CRAWFISH, WHICH IS THEN
EATEN BY A FISH, WHICH IS EATEN BY HUMANS. THE REASON THIS
IS AN ISSUE IS BECAUSE WHEN LEAD ENTERS A BODY IT GETS
STORED IN THE FAT TISSUE AND CANNOT ESCAPE UNLESS
THROUGH A MOTHER’S BREAST MILK TO HER BABY. SO, THE LEAD
JUST BUILDS UP UNTIL IT GETS EXCRETED OR MAY EVEN CAUSE
AN ILLNESS.
10. HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES ON HOW IT
GETS PASSED UP THE FOOD CHAIN:
• JULIE HOOD EXPLAINS THAT BIOAMPLIFICATION (OR BIOMAGNIFICATION, AS THE
NEXT PICTURE SHOWS) REFERS TO AN INCREASE IN THE CONCENTRATION OF A
SUBSTANCE AS YOU MOVE UP THE FOOD CHAIN. THIS OFTEN OCCURS BECAUSE
THE POLLUTANT IS PERSISTENT, MEANING THAT IT CANNOT BE, OR IS VERY
SLOWLY, BROKEN DOWN BY NATURAL PROCESSES. THESE PERSISTENT
POLLUTANTS ARE TRANSFERRED UP THE FOOD CHAIN FASTER THAN THEY ARE
BROKEN DOWN OR EXCRETED.
• SHE ALSO STATES THAT, “BIOACCUMULATION OCCURS WITHIN AN ORGANISM,
WHERE A CONCENTRATION OF A SUBSTANCE BUILDS UP IN THE TISSUES AND IS
ABSORBED FASTER THAN IT IS REMOVED. BIOACCUMULATION OFTEN OCCURS IN
TWO WAYS, SIMULTANEOUSLY: BY EATING CONTAMINATED FOOD, AND BY
ABSORPTION DIRECTLY FROM WATER. THIS SECOND CASE IS SPECIFICALLY
REFERRED TO AS BIOCONCENTRATION.”
11.
12. SO SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT HAVE
MANDATORY REFORMS FOR POLLUTING
INDUSTRIES?
• EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE ALREADY REGULATIONS TO CONTROL HOW MUCH
WASTE IS DISPOSED IN OUR LAND AND WATER. I BELIEVE THERE IS STILL
MANY WAYS THAT THE GOVERNMENT COULD BE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN
CHANGING SOME OF THE REGULATIONS.
• I ALSO BELIEVE IT ISN’T JUST THE GOVERNMENT THAT COULD MAKE A
DIFFERENCE. EVERYONE HERE COULD BE MAKING SMALL CHANGES TO HELP
OUT OUR ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE IF OUR ENVIRONMENT ENDS UP BEING
CONTAMINATED THAN SO DO WE AND OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
• I ALSO BELIEVE THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO EDUCATE AS MANY PEOPLE AS
POSSIBLE ABOUT TAKING CARE OF THE WORLD WE LIVE IN.
