EcoSystem Solutions
Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) plays an important ecological role in the Chesapeake Bay by filtering water and providing habitat and food. However, SAV has been declining due to poor water quality and lack of light. Encapsulated eelgrass seeds could provide a low-cost solution for widespread SAV restoration by being easily dispersed and having a higher germination rate than traditional techniques. With $250,000 in funding, further trials and commercialization of this seed-based approach could help meet restoration goals for the Chesapeake Bay.
Roadmap To Water Conservation2014
This document outlines a multifaceted landscape management action plan for conserving water through several components. It recommends replacing high water use plants with natives and perennials, converting turf to drought tolerant plants or mulch, aerating soil to improve water penetration, using organic products to build healthy soil, checking irrigation systems for leaks and upgrading to efficient technologies like drip irrigation, high efficiency nozzles and smart controllers. A case study found that using these sustainable practices can reduce a garden's water use by 83%, waste by 56% and maintenance needs by 68%.
Water our valuable resource
Water is essential for life but is unevenly distributed globally. Most water is saltwater while only 1% is freshwater. Water is needed for many human activities but population growth, pollution, and uneven distribution are putting pressure on water resources. Solutions to water constraints include increasing water prices, expanding catchment areas, water recycling and desalination, education, and international agreements. However, each solution has disadvantages. Singapore faces water scarcity due to limited natural sources and increasing demand. It sources water from local catchment, imports from Malaysia, treats used water, and desalinates seawater. Conservation efforts include taxes, campaigns, and rationing exercises to encourage efficient water usage.
Waste water reduction
The committee proposes reducing waste water production on college campuses through various policy options. Their proposal for Siena College includes eliminating trays to reduce washing needs, adopting reusable mugs to minimize disposable cup usage, and removing pre-plating in dining halls to decrease plate waste. These changes would lower water and detergent use for cleaning as well as energy costs with minimal expenses to implement. The committee welcomes feedback on their proposed waste water reduction plan.

Water conservation system
Water is the “invisible utility”, whose usage patterns are too often overlooked by companies as a cost of doing business. Water bills can account for as much as 20% of a buildings’ utility cost and upwards in process applications. Compared to other countries, Canadian water prices are well below average. The cost of water is likely to rise as watersheds are depleted, water conservation and efficiency standards are legislated, and municipal governments increase rates to fund repairs to aging infrastructure. To reduce water utility bills, building owners must find ways to limit their consumption without sacrificing occupancy comfort.

Reclaimed water or recycled water is treated wastewater that is used for landscaping irrigation, groundwater recharge, and occasionally stream flow augmentation to benefit ecosystems. While various wastewater recycling technologies aim to reuse flowback and produced water from drilling in a cost-effective way, there is no agreement on the best approach, as methods differ in their use of chemicals, electricity, or solids removal. Agriculture has the highest water consumption but using reclaimed water for farming often faces resistance from conservative farmers uncomfortable with change, though water use varies significantly by crop type.

1. Dr. Muazzam Hussain from SRI National Network Bangladesh thanked OXFAM for their moral and resource support of SRI and BRF.
2. SRI involves growing healthy rice plants with sufficient water, air, and light through practices like transplanting young seedlings singly in wide spacing. This increases yields while reducing costs and inputs.
3. SRI has been successfully implemented in Bangladesh through farmer field schools and demonstration plots. It provides benefits like increased yields, lower water use, and greater resilience to climate impacts. However, challenges remain in areas like weed control and ensuring water supply.Peresuassive power point
This document discusses the importance of water conservation for off-campus students. It notes issues with water quality and infrastructure projects, and provides facts about water usage and scarcity globally and in the US. The document explains how individual behaviors like taking shorter showers can collectively make a big impact on the environment by reducing water consumption. Suggested actions include using low-flow fixtures, running full loads of laundry, and turning off water while brushing teeth.
Water conservation
Water conservation encompasses the policies, strategies and activities made to manage fresh water as a sustainable resource, to protect the water environment, and to meet current and future human demand. Population, household size, and growth and affluence all affect how much water is used. Factors such as climate change will increase pressures on natural water resources especially in manufacturing and agricultural irrigation.
Water conservation refers to any beneficial reduction of water usage, loss or waste.
Water Pledge
Securitas India has launched a CSR initiative called the Water Pledge to promote efficient water resource management and conservation. As part of this initiative, Securitas India is partnering with CII to encourage organizations and individuals to sign an "Aqua Code" pledge to reduce water consumption, reuse water whenever possible, treat wastewater responsibly before disposal, and work to replenish water sources through rainwater harvesting. The ultimate goal is to contribute to large-scale water conservation and ensure the sustainable availability of this vital natural resource.

Modeling the economic benefit of water conservation in irrigated agricultureSoil and Water Conservation Society
This document discusses a study on the economic impact of water conservation in irrigated agriculture. It introduces the issues of water scarcity in arid regions and previous research on irrigation technologies and their efficiency. The objective is to analyze the unresolved issue of the economic impact of water conservation and drip irrigation subsidies on rural communities. It describes the data sources and economic impact analysis method used, and models scenarios without conservation, with conservation but no subsidy, and with conservation and subsidy. The conclusion is that drip irrigation with water conservation has a significant economic benefit over flood irrigation and that subsidies could further promote regional economic benefits through sustained irrigated agriculture, with an estimated 20% increase in economic impact under the drip conservation scenario compared toWater footprint
Freshwater is a scarce resource; its annual availability is limited and demand is growing. The water footprint of humanity has exceeded sustainable levels at several places and is unequally distributed among people. So, water footprints of communities and businesses will help to understand how we can achieve a more sustainable and equitable use of fresh water.
Water Conservation
The document discusses India's water resources and the role of industry. It notes that industry consumes 8-10% of India's total water usage but is often given last priority. It emphasizes the importance of water audits, maintenance, process modifications, and educating employees to reduce water consumption and increase reuse. Recommendations include installing water meters, recycling and gray water systems, and altering cooling and heating processes to maximize water efficiency and conservation in industries.
Water conservation
The document discusses water conservation and provides objectives and background information. It aims to educate facility managers, maintenance personnel, and others on practical water conservation measures. Some key points discussed include the need for water conservation due to drought risks, benefits of monitoring water usage, identifying leaks, and reducing water pressure. Water recycling, reuse, and efficient cooling systems are also covered.

This document discusses challenges with top-down water management approaches and opportunities to improve water management through community-led self-governance. It provides examples of innovations for community water management, including experimental games to emphasize shared resources, crop water budgeting tools, and landscape restoration tools. Case studies from Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha demonstrate community-led practices like reserving water sources, banning borewell drilling, sharing well water, prohibiting detergents in livestock water. The goal is to evolve water management decisions based on data through water user federations.What Is a Water Footprint?
Blue, green, and gray water categorize sources of water used in hog production. Blue water comes from surface and groundwater sources, green water is rainwater used by crops, and gray water is the water required to dilute polluted water. A water footprint measures the total water used and impacted in producing goods and services, including direct water used by hogs in a barn and indirect water used on farm operations. The Pig Production Environmental Calculator provides hog farmers data on their water footprint in gallons for total use, per pig per year, and per pound of pork, categorized by sources like feed, management, and facilities. This allows farmers to identify areas to reduce their water usage and environmental impact.
Water conservation
This document outlines an employee training course on water conservation. The course covers topics like monitoring water usage, leak detection, reducing water pressure, water recycling and reuse, cooling water conservation, and xeriscape landscaping. The goal is to provide supervisors with tools to help conserve water through both engineering practices and changing employee behaviors. The training will help integrate good water conservation practices into daily operations.

Multiple-Use Water Services (MUS): Toward a Nutrition-Sensitive Approach
Multiple-use water services (MUS) is a participatory, integrated approach to water management that supports both agricultural production and domestic activities at or near the home. One of its principle strengths is that it overcomes traditional barriers between the domestic and productive water sectors.
MUS has the potential to bridge agriculture and nutrition through water use: enhance crop production and household income, increase access to diverse foods, decrease disease transmission, and empower women and communities through income generation and time and labor savings. Additional nutritional benefits from MUS may be linked to safer drinking water and improved hygiene.
With emerging evidence suggesting that stunting cannot be addressed without also focusing on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), SPRING wanted to better understand current WASH and water strategies that sought to bridge agriculture and health to reduce undernutrition at the community, farm, and household levels.
Pulling on examples from the field, this report highlights some opportunities and challenges around linking MUS to improved nutrition and outlines some promising practices for making MUS more nutrition-sensitive.

During the annual conference of NAES, a special session on “Convergences of Policies and Programs relating to Sustainable and Climate Resilient Agriculture” is being organized. The aim of this special session is to showcase the studies and experiences in South Asian countries on climate resilient agriculture and how they can learn from each other to formulate progressive and sustainable policies to promote climate smart agriculture in a regional perspective.FOOD SUSTAINABILITY.pptx
This document discusses food sustainability and aquaponics. It defines food sustainability as responsible production, supply and consumption of safe food that protects the environment. Food sustainability is important because over 800 million people experience hunger globally. The document then outlines six key sustainability problems for the food sector: 1) lack of traceability, 2) packaging issues, 3) greenwashing, 4) devaluing food, 5) food waste, and 6) supply chain issues. It proceeds to define and compare three types of aquaponics systems - gravel bed culture, deep water culture, and nutrient film technique. The document concludes by listing several advantages of aquaponics food production and examples of cultivable plants.

Sustainable Food Production
This document discusses sustainable food production. It defines sustainable food production as using non-polluting, efficient, and economically viable processes to farm crops, livestock, poultry, and seafood. It outlines advantages like reducing fossil fuel use and pollution while protecting resources. Challenges include high costs and lack of standards/incentives. The UN aims to improve sustainable food systems through policies ensuring access to nutritious food. Global rankings show most sustainable food in East Asia/Pacific and least in the Middle East and North Africa region.
