In this presentation the authors (Hug March, David Suarí, David Suarí) explore the shift towards desalination as an alternative to other water supply options such as river regulation or inter-basin water transfers. Desalination has been seen as the cure for everything that dams and inter-basin water transfers
were unable to solve, including droughts, scarcities, social conflicts, environmental impacts, and political rivalries among the different Spanish regions. Desalination also means a new and powerful element in water planning and management that could provide water for the continuous expansion of the urban and tourism growth machine in Mediterranean Spain and thus relax possible water constraints on this growth. However, by 2012 most new desalination plants along the Mediterranean coast remained almost idle. Focusing on the case of the Mancomunidad de los Canales del Taibillla in south-eastern Spain, the authors objective is to develop a critical, integrated and reflexive perspective on the use of desalination as a source of water for urban and regional growth.

Asia Regional Program Planning Meeting- Water scarcity and low water use effi...ICRISAT
Water scarcity and the increasing global demand for water in many sectors, including agriculture, has became a global concern. The rapid growing world population and the adverse impacts of climate change led to growing competition for water use by industrial and urban users for agriculture to secure enough food. Irrigated agriculture is an important role in total agriculture and provides humanity with a wide range of agricultural products, including fruits, vegetables, grains and cereals. Effective management for water use is the only way to save water for the increasing irrigated agriculture.
Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet water needs within a region. It affects every continent and around 2.8 billion people around the world at least one month out of every year. More than 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water.
Water Scarcity Is An Opportunity for Water Efficiencyjustinwaters014
It’s not a widely published fact, but that’s no reason why it should not be a widely acknowledged problem. The world’s supply of fresh water is slowly running dry. Forty percent of the world’s population is already reeling under the problem of scarcity.
Most of the diseases plaguing the world are water-borne. And while there is a child born every eight seconds in America, there is a life taken every eight seconds by some water-borne disease in other parts of the world.
Please visit http://www.bgwaterfilter.com/products.html for more information.
Requirements of human are increasing tremendously with massive change along with the evolution of human and its development. This creates stress on the natural resources; such as water, lands, forest, etc. Freshwater demand is highly increased with the growing population and the change in lifestyle of people. Hence, the concept of interbasin water transfer was developed to minimize water scarcity and to distribute water as per requirements. However, this has brought lots of negative consequences that became a challenge to preserve the earth systems. The National River Linking Plan (NRLP) is developed by the Government of India to resolve water scarcity and that plan became controversial especially on the transboundary water right issues. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to highlight all the major and minor consequences that might happen due to the NRLP project with the perspective of making sustainable environmental development. The study revealed that for the sustainable development; every issue related to nature, socio-cultural and transboundary water right must be addressed and water should be distributed in such a manner that it solves the issues of spatial and temporal water availability.

Special edition: South Africa Regional Report Did you know that Botswana pioneered water accounting in the late 1990s and early 2000s?
This week we focus on Botswana, the South African country that pioneered water accounting in the late 1990s and early 2000s. We look at the progress they have made and how they have changed the way, we account for water all over the world.
We also feature Lake Malawi, which is a freshwater lake in the Africa Great Lakes region. It is rich in biodiversity with over 800 species of cichlids. Part of this lake due to its scenic beauty and outstanding universal values is a World Heritage Site. However, since 2011, the oil industry has explored Lake for oil. According to a number of leading environmental experts, including Godfrey Mfiti, any oil drilling in this Lake is detrimental to the survival of wildlife and available freshwater from this Lake. We review a book discussing the argument against oil exploration.
Every March 22nd World Water Day is celebrated to raise awareness of the importance of this necessary resource for life and key to poverty reduction, economic growth and environmental sustainability.
Among the many water-related challenges worldwide, the crisis of scarcity, deteriorating water quality, the linkages between water and food security, and the need for improved governance are the most significant in the context of gender differences in access to and control over water resources.
Leveraging City-Basin Governance to Boost Water Security in African Municipal...Kayode Fayemi
I had the honour of speaking at a Ministers-Mayors Dialogue, titled "A City-Basin Approach to Water Security in Africa: Solutions and Commitments," which was organised by the United Cities and Local Governments of Africa (UCLG-Africa) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) during the UN's 2023 Water Conference in New York.
This event provided an opportunity to discuss how city-basin governance can be leveraged to enhance water security in African municipalities and unlock their potential to achieve SDG 6 through the Action Plan of Mayors, Local and Regional Governments for Water Security.

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.

“Droughts are hard to avert, but their effects can be
mitigated. (...)
The price of preparedness is minimal compared to the
cost of disaster relief. Let us therefore shift from
managing crises to preparing for droughts and building
resilience.”

• Mapping of Stakeholders per Goal / Target / Indicator
• Lead Institutions per Goal / Target / Indicator, plan for
consultation with stakeholders … and civil society / public !!!
• Data !!! National Statistical Office to seek active cooperation
with sector institution and vice versa
• Funding for core concerns and capacity development of
government staff to improve monitoring quality
