This document provides an overview of the water sector in South Africa and the drivers towards a more water sensitive society. It discusses factors like population growth, urbanization, and climate change that are placing increasing demands on limited water resources. It also outlines South Africa's current water context, including water usage and supply/demand projections. The document advocates for more sustainable urban water management approaches like rainwater harvesting, greywater reuse, and stormwater use to help meet future needs and save up to 50% of water in cities. It presents a vision of an "enlightened" water wise society for South Africa's water sector by 2025.
This document discusses the growing global water crisis and outlines a three-part approach to address it. The vision is for clean, sustainable water resources. The approach includes: 1) Informing about risks to water supplies and economies through tools like Aqueduct; 2) Enabling solutions by assessing local strategies; and 3) Mobilizing action such as mainstreaming natural infrastructure. Case studies from regions like MENA, China, and cities show progress on prioritizing solutions, financing projects, and motivating broader adoption.
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.
China faces significant challenges from climate change that threaten its agriculture, water supply, and coastal regions. Agricultural production of key crops like rice, wheat and corn could decline substantially by 2050 if China fails to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The Yangtze River, which supplies water to billions, is also threatened. Coastal regions are especially vulnerable, with over 50,000 people directly at risk from sea level rise already. If sea levels rise by one meter, over 125,000 square kilometers of land could flood, affecting 73 million people. China is also the top carbon emitter and has high emissions projected to continue growing rapidly without action. However, China has implemented plans to cut emissions and increase renewable energy that could help reduce
1. The Cape Town water crisis was caused by three consecutive years of below average rainfall that depleted water supplies. Day Zero, when most taps would be shut off, was avoided through aggressive water restrictions and augmentation efforts.
2. Social media played a large role in spreading information about water conservation and influencing behavior. While wealthier residents were largely unaffected, the crisis exacerbated inequality and poverty issues.
3. Both negative and positive economic impacts resulted, including job losses in agriculture and water-dependent industries but growth in water technology and conservation sectors. There were also environmental concerns about some augmentation methods and their impact on fragile ecosystems.

This integrated media series is about my interest in humanity’s ecological footprint; a measurement of society’s demand on the environment and an approach to sustainability. It is a balancing act of resource consumption and waste discharge, every action taken towards using nature’s resources has an impact on Earth’s ecosystems, however is society playing fairly, or are they misplacing the value of nature in the act of mass consumption?

Increasing international co-operation on freshwater managementRianne van Mierlo
The world is currently facing an increasing problem regarding the accessibility of fresh water. This paper involves the arguments for the need of improving the international co-operation between global communities in order to restore this problem.
Presentation that went along with my 2009 paper for the Macalester-Maastricht journal about globalization's effects on the governance of transboundary watercourses.
A poster presentation from my Masters thesis titled 'Assessing the Potential for Water Stewardship Partnership Using Water Risk and Action Framework: The Case of Nzoia Basin, Kenya'. This study proposed as way for assessing water risks at a catchment level by developing an index- Water Risk Index. Stewardship partnership potential was assessed by mapping water stakeholders, grouping, prioritizing and getting stakeholder views through interviews and questionnaires.
Dr. Daniel Vermeer gave a presentation on water supply and demand issues. He discussed how water availability varies globally and is becoming more scarce in many regions. Climate change is exacerbating water stresses in some areas. Meeting growing water demands will require boosting water productivity in agriculture, industry, and other sectors through new technologies, pricing reforms, and overcoming financial and policy barriers. Public-private partnerships can help accelerate solutions.
Sustainable development involves meeting current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. The document discusses sustainable food, water, and environments. It starts by examining sustainable water supply, which is affected by physical factors like geology, relief, and climate; technological issues in water distribution; and political considerations.
This document summarizes key facts about the global water crisis and introduces tools like water stress, virtual water, and water footprint for understanding water issues. It notes that less than 1% of the world's water is accessible freshwater, over 2 billion people live in water-stressed areas, and virtual water refers to the water used in food production. The document then discusses Canada's water usage and lack of a coherent national water policy.

China faces significant environmental problems due to rapid industrialization and population growth. Mao Zedong's policies prioritized heavy industry over environmental protection, encouraging wasteful use of resources. Economic reforms since 1978 accelerated environmental degradation through increased development, urbanization, and infrastructure projects. China relies heavily on hydropower but the massive Three Gorges Dam displaced over a million people and threatens ecosystems and cultural sites. While renewables are growing, China still faces challenges balancing environmental protection with continued economic growth.
The document summarizes findings from the Club of Rome study in the 1970s which looked at exponential growth trends in global population, agriculture, industry, natural resources and pollution. The study found that if these growth trends continued unchanged, the limits to growth would be reached within the next 100 years, likely resulting in a sudden decline in population and industrial capacity. However, the study also found that it was possible to establish sustainable ecological and economic stability by altering these growth trends through preventative action.
72.9% of Mexico's water withdrawals in 2009 were for agricultural purposes, with 12.0% for industrial uses and 8.0% for cooling thermoelectric plants. From 2003 to 2011, over 43% of Mexico's water-related government budget was spent on water supply and sanitation, while close to 95% of water-related official development assistance went to water supply and sanitation projects. Mexico faces water challenges including water pollution, overexploitation of groundwater sources, and effects of water-related natural disasters.

Ethiopia faces several key drivers of change that impact water resources and development. These include a rapidly growing population, which increases pressure on scarce agricultural land and water supplies. Climate change is also a major driver, increasing rainfall variability and extremes that affect both water availability and agricultural productivity. Globalization provides economic opportunities but also risks from global market fluctuations and foreign ownership of land and water resources. Improving water infrastructure and adopting more integrated planning that considers diverse livelihoods is needed to promote development and poverty alleviation amid these changes.

Groundwater use in South Africa underwent a transformation following the 1994 political transformation. It shifted from being mainly used for small towns, mining, and commercial agriculture, to becoming a strategic resource providing 60-90% of community water supplies across the country. This was due to new water sector policies that emphasized equitable access to water resources. However, groundwater governance still requires more participatory management at the local level and national policies to promote sustainable use. There is also potential to use groundwater resources to improve food security and rural livelihoods through new collaborative approaches between the water and agriculture sectors.
Good water quality is essential to human health and development, but ensuring sufficient and safe supplies is challenging as populations grow. A major solution is producing less pollution and improving wastewater management. Globally, 80% of wastewater flows back into the ecosystem without treatment, contributing to over 1.8 billion people drinking contaminated water. However, wastewater represents an opportunity if viewed as a potential resource and managed safely, as it could supply water, energy, and nutrients to support agriculture, industry, and growing urban populations.
In many coastal and delta cities land subsidence exceeds absolute sea level rise up
to a factor of ten. Without action, parts of Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok and numerous other coastal cities will sink below sea level. Increased flooding and other widespread impacts of land subsidence result in damage totalling billions of dollars per year. A major cause of severe land subsidence is excessive groundwater extraction due to rapid urbanization and population growth. A major rethink is needed to deal with the ‘hidden’ but urgent threat of subsidence. Deltares presents a comprehensive approach to address land subsidence from the perspective of more sustainable and resilient urban development.
Sinking cities - An integrated approach towards solutions In the framework of an integrated approach 10 key issues and possible solutions are presented below:

This document summarizes the findings of 20 interviews conducted in 2008 with members of parliament, civil servants, journalists, teachers, researchers, and regional decision-makers about their use of indicators. Five central problems emerged: information is difficult to find, too old, does not match user needs, is too complicated, and is not policy relevant. While indicators have been developed for 20 years, most initiatives have focused on their creation and not whether they are actually being used.

La macroeconomía ecológica de la biodiversidad - Brian CzechInstituto Humboldt
The document discusses the implications of ecological macroeconomics and biodiversity conservation for international diplomacy. It proposes establishing a "steady state revolution" by classifying countries into liquidating, steady state and amorphic classes based on consumption levels. Rich "liquidating" nations would be encouraged to reduce consumption to sustainable levels through solidarity among moderate "steady state" nations and by identifying and discouraging unsustainable practices.

This presentation was originally delivered by Charles Gould (Managing Director, Brightwave) at Beyond The Course in Edinburgh on 12 June 2012.
About this session
Over the years Brightwave has helped many world-leading organisations tackle business challenges with e-learning. In many cases, this has taken the form of courses, the formats of which are familiar to most of us. Yet our approach to e-learning has evolved.
While the core imperatives may have remained the same (a business need, a specific audience, measurable change in behaviour and a clear message/content), the tools and resources available to our designers are proliferating. The role of the learning designer has become more complex, more wide-reaching and arguably more valuable. In this session, Charles will draw from recent experience at Brightwave, including the latest thinking from its design team to address some very current questions.
Is the course really dead? When might it still be appropriate?
How do we meet organisational needs while exploiting less formal learning?
What resources and tools are being harnessed to replace or supplement the course?
How do we enhance learning using communications, social media and mobile technology?
What new opportunities do learning designers have and how should they use them?
In what direction are organisations moving if they are moving beyond the course?
This document discusses ideas around challenging learning from philosopher Alfred Binet and others. It explores what children need to learn, whether intelligence is nature or nurture, the impact of vocabulary exposure in early childhood, mindsets about intelligence, and balancing challenge versus difficulty. Key concepts discussed include mental orthopaedics, growth mindset, the teaching target model, and using question stems and colliding concepts to facilitate challenging discussions for learners of different ages.
A new social contract is proposed to replace traditional religious covenants and establish a presumptive god to govern economic and public systems. This new system will start with $1000 trillion and decrease each following year, with 30 days to begin implementation. Individual identities can be universal and changeable under this new civilizational framework, subject to certain letter and value requirements for the first 30 days. Representatives are encouraged to make discretionary decisions deemed appropriate.
The document outlines The One-Hour Social Media MBA presented by Alan Stevens. It discusses five tools for social media including Socialmention, Klout, Hootsuite, Addictomatic, and Radian 6. It also discusses five techniques such as seeing opportunities, creating stories, building community, being different, and being present. Finally, it discusses five traps to avoid like using tragedy for advertising, forgetting to turn off automated messages, not understanding social media, not monitoring fake brand sites, and forgetting the social aspect of social media.
David Mack Fair was born on February 28, 2011 at 4:13pm, weighing 7 pounds and 7 ounces. He came out crying which the nurses said was a good sign. None of his family members correctly guessed his birth weight, with estimates ranging from 7 pounds 4 ounces to 9 pounds 2 ounces. The document shares photos and Bible verses celebrating David's birth and first moments with his family in the hospital.
Dr. Mohamed Ait Kadi presented on the impacts of water insecurity and security on growth futures. He discussed how water demand is increasing due to population growth and economic development, but water supply is facing pressures from climate change. If current trends continue, over half the global population and GDP could be in water stressed regions by 2050. However, improving water productivity could substantially reduce water stress. Dr. Ait Kadi proposed new policy instruments, institutions, financial mechanisms, skills development, and innovation planning to enable more effective and sustainable water resource management and help balance water security and economic growth.
This document provides an executive summary of the report "Charting Our Water Future" which was created by the 2030 Water Resources Group to analyze solutions to increasing water scarcity. The group consisted of private companies and organizations who worked with experts to develop frameworks to inform decision-making. The report found that by 2030, over a third of the world's population will live in areas facing water stress, and that current rates of increasing supply and efficiency will not meet rising demand. However, the report also finds that through measures like improving agricultural efficiency, augmenting supply, and reducing water intensity in economies, water needs can potentially be met at an affordable cost even in rapidly developing areas.

This report from the International Resource Panel examines options for decoupling economic growth from water use and pollution. It discusses the growing challenges posed by increasing demands on limited water resources from population growth, economic development, and climate change. The report explores technological and policy tools that can help break the link between water use/pollution and GDP growth. These include efficient irrigation systems, wastewater reuse, water pricing reforms, and integrated management approaches at the river basin scale. Adopting such measures could help achieve sustainable development goals by ensuring water availability without compromising economic activity or environmental protection.

Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It requires balancing social progress, environmental protection, prudent resource use, and economic growth. However, continued economic growth risks depleting natural capital like forests, fisheries, water, and causing environmental degradation like climate change. Measuring wealth in terms of inclusive capital, including natural capital, shows lower growth rates than GDP in many countries due to resource depletion and pollution. Urgent action is needed to transition to more sustainable and equitable models of development and green growth.
Water is at the core of sustainable development. Over 1.7 billion people live in river basins where water use exceeds natural recharge. By 2025, two-thirds of the world's population will live in water-stressed countries if current consumption patterns continue. Sustainable development recognizes that growth must be environmentally sound and reduce poverty while meeting needs of future generations. Water is critical for socio-economic development, healthy ecosystems, and human survival, but must be managed efficiently and equitably to strengthen resilience to changes.
El Salvador is working against principles of sustainable development in several key areas: 1) High poverty rates and wealth inequality have risen; 2) Access to water, food, and nutrition is inadequate; 3) Urban planning in cities like San Salvador negatively impacts quality of life; 4) Transportation systems experience congestion and pollution due to a lack of progress; 5) Oceans and waterways are polluted from trash and drainage; 6) Communities have high vulnerability to natural disasters due to the lack of resilience. Recommendations include improving education, government regulations, investment, and protecting natural resources to work towards a more sustainable future for El Salvador.
3D printing has the potential to be more sustainable by producing better products with less resources and impact, but certain key factors must be respected. Life Cycle Assessment is a tool that can evaluate the full environmental impact of 3D printing and identify opportunities for improvement. For 3D printing to be considered sustainable, targets must be set using tools like the IPAT calculator to understand resource needs based on population and affluence increases. The impacts must also be measured across the entire life cycle from manufacturing to disposal.
The document discusses natural capital accounting, which aims to quantify the value of natural resources and ecosystem services. It outlines the challenges of economic growth degrading the environment and notes that current systems do not reflect nature's invisibility and interdependence with human well-being. Natural capital accounting seeks to integrate environmental information into policies by valuing ecosystem services and changing incentives to reward stewardship of natural assets over the long run. The document provides definitions of natural capital and ecosystem services and describes different types of services like provisioning, regulating, cultural and supporting. It also discusses tools like ecosystem and inclusive wealth accounting that can reflect natural values in decision making.
The document discusses key concepts related to sustainability including:
- Sustainable development meets present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs.
- Environmental indicators and ecological footprints can assess sustainability.
- The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment reported that humans have changed ecosystems more rapidly in the past 50 years than ever before, with mixed impacts on human well-being.
- Environmental impact assessments play an important role in sustainable development by evaluating potential impacts of projects.
This document discusses the economic impacts of packaged and bottled water businesses in Nigeria. It begins by providing background on water issues in Nigeria, noting that less than 30% of the population has access to adequate drinking water. It then discusses the growth of packaged and bottled water businesses in Nigeria to fill the gap left by insufficient public water infrastructure. The document aims to examine the economic impacts of these businesses. It identifies impacts such as providing business and employment opportunities, profits and wages, economic growth, and tax revenue for the government. The businesses also allow water to be available at affordable prices.
This document discusses six strategic sectors that can be used to develop maps for progress:
1) Finance and investment to obtain wealth for the common good
2) Health and dissemination of knowledge from biotechnology to eradicate diseases
3) Biotechnological agriculture and water treatment as bases for food and survival
4) Energy geopolitics on fossil fuels, alternative energies, and new energy sources
5) Geopolitical dynamics as a global interrelation
6) Active ownership in companies to foster long-term value creation over short-term gains
This document discusses the economic benefits of improved water management and services. It makes three key points:
1. Improved access to water supply, sanitation, and water resources management boosts economic growth and reduces poverty in developing countries. Countries with better access experience much higher average annual GDP growth.
2. The economic benefits of investments in water supply and sanitation far outweigh the costs, with benefit-cost ratios ranging from $3-$34 for every $1 invested. Meeting global targets could yield $84 billion annually in benefits.
3. National economies are more resilient to droughts and floods when water storage capacity is improved. Investments in management can have annual income returns up to 6 times the initial
Human transformation of freshwater ecosystems is rapidly exceeding capacity required to sustain the conditions we need to survive and thrive. Water crises are already impacting people around the globe—from river basins in California and China, to the cities of São Palo and Bangkok. Under current population and growth trends, the 2030 Water Resources Group predicts global water demand will exceed available supply by 40 percent by 2030.
The document summarizes statements from various UN agencies and organizations about World Water Day 2007 and the growing global water crisis. It notes that water scarcity affects 700 million people currently and may rise to over 3 billion by 2025. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and other leaders call for greater international cooperation and investments to strengthen water management, promote technology, and scale up solutions to ensure access to clean water.
The water-food-energy nexus recognizes the interdependence between water, food, and energy security. Meeting the growing global demands for food, energy, and water will require managing these sectors in an integrated way rather than in isolation. Climate change introduces additional uncertainties by increasing tensions between sectors for access to limited water resources. Achieving the SDGs related to water, food, and energy will require nexus solutions that balance the competing needs of these sectors in a sustainable manner.
The document discusses issues related to responsible investment in water services. It notes that water scarcity is a growing global problem, with demand for water infrastructure investments expected to reach hundreds of billions annually. However, water utilities often lack transparency regarding their environmental, social, and governance performance. The document calls for water utilities to provide consistent, comparable data on key issues like water quality, sewage treatment, governance policies and impacts on local water resources to help facilitate responsible investment.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

Programming Foundation Models with DSPy - Meetup SlidesZilliz
Prompting language models is hard, while programming language models is easy. In this talk, I will discuss the state-of-the-art framework DSPy for programming foundation models with its powerful optimizers and runtime constraint system.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

15. John McAlister: "China's water crisis", in: Deutsche Bank China Expert Series (22.3.2005). But growing environmental pressure cannot continue unchecked as it is now constraining growth itself. For example, in Northern China , which produces 40% of the country’s GDP and accounts for 40% of the population, per capita annual renewable water supply is now 50% below the UN-defined threshold for minimum social and economic stability . According to a Deutsche Bank economist, “capital projects (in that region) that lack autonomous, proven, renewable water supplies for their operation are at risk”.
17. “… it has long been clear that GDP is an inadequate metric to gauge well-being over time particularly in its economic, environmental, and social dimensions, some aspects of which are often referred to as sustainability”. “ the well-being of future generations compared to ours will depend on what resources we pass on to them. Many different forms of resource are involved here. Future well-being will depend upon the magnitude of the stocks of exhaustible resources that we leave to the next generations. It will depend also on how well we maintain the quantity and quality of all the other renewable natural resources that are necessary for life.
