Through a step by step description of how the Aqueduct water risk maps were created, it covers the hydrological modeling and data sources used to compute all 12 indicators of water-related risk, as well as the methodology used to weigh and aggregate each indicator into physical, regulatory, reputational and overall water risk scores.
This document provides an overview of the global and India's water scenario, current issues and challenges related to water security in India. It discusses factors impacting water security such as population growth, urbanization, water quality issues from pollution, overexploitation of groundwater, deforestation, reduced rainwater usage, conflicts and climate change. The key issues facing India are rapid depletion of groundwater sources, over 70% of water being contaminated, most households lacking access to drinking water, and increasing water demand outpacing available supply. Urgent action is needed to ensure sustainable water management and access to clean water for all as targeted under the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 6.
- The total volume of water on Earth is about 1.4 billion km3, with freshwater accounting for about 35 million km3 or 2.5% of the total.
- About 70% of the world's freshwater is stored as ice/snow, while 30% is underground as groundwater. Freshwater lakes and rivers contain about 0.3% of the world's freshwater.
- Water usage is mainly for irrigation (70%), industry (22%), and domestic use (8%). Over 894 million people worldwide lack access to the minimum recommended daily amount of safe freshwater.

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.

The document summarizes key drivers of increasing global water demand and potential solutions to close the growing water gap. By 2050, world water demand is projected to increase by 60% due to factors like population growth, changing diets, increased food production and urbanization. Agriculture currently accounts for 70% of water withdrawals globally. Solutions discussed to help close the growing gap between supply and demand include increased wastewater reuse, further development of desalination technologies, improving irrigation efficiency, appropriate water pricing, integrated water governance and planning at the basin scale.
India is facing a water crisis due to insufficient supply to meet growing demand from households, industry, and agriculture. The main causes are a rising population, poor infrastructure for storage and distribution, overuse of groundwater, and pollution of existing supplies. The government is taking steps like watershed development projects and policies to encourage rainwater harvesting. Conservation efforts and improved management are needed to ensure access to clean water.

- Agriculture accounts for over 80% of global freshwater usage, mainly for food production. Meeting future global food and energy demands in a sustainable manner poses challenges due to increasing water constraints.
- Closing yield gaps through irrigation expansion could help boost food production, but over 40% of current irrigation is unsustainable due to exceeding local water availability. Agricultural intensification must be pursued carefully to avoid environmental degradation.
- Transitioning to more efficient irrigation practices, suitable crops, and agricultural production systems could allow for sustainable increases in food supply while reducing overall water usage. However, ensuring local and global food and water security remains complex with growing population and dietary changes.
India is facing a severe water scarcity crisis due to a combination of factors. Demand for water is growing rapidly as the population increases, while supply is dwindling due to unsustainable usage, lack of infrastructure to capture rainfall, and climate change exacerbating drought conditions. Nearly half of India's population lacks access to drinking water, while agriculture uses 90% of available water resources despite only employing 50% of the workforce. Unless water management and conservation practices are improved, India's ability to feed its growing population will be threatened.

It then outlines three global sustainable development goals related to water: 1) achieving universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation by 2030, 2) reducing water usage in various sectors and increasing productivity by 2030, and 3) increasing the number of countries implementing water rights policies by 2030. It also discusses efforts to clean the Ganges River in India through natural wastewater treatment methods and managing water withdrawals.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.
This document discusses the global water crisis and efforts to address it. It describes the many dimensions of the crisis, including lack of access to clean water and sanitation that leads to over 1,000 child deaths daily. The UN's Millennium Development Goals made some progress but failed to achieve universal access. The new Sustainable Development Goals aim to ensure access to water and sanitation for all by 2030 through integrated management approaches. Solutions require addressing issues like governance, pollution, climate change, and inequitable impacts on the poor. Individual action can help through careers, advocacy or support for organizations working to alleviate the crisis.
The document discusses the global and Indian water crisis. It notes that over 1 billion people lack access to safe water and that water scarcity will affect 2/3 of the world's population by 2025. In India, water availability is very low compared to global averages and many areas already experience severe water stress. The major challenges facing India are rapid population growth, overexploitation of groundwater, pollution of existing supplies, and poor management. Potential solutions discussed include conservation efforts, water recycling, desalination plants, water footprinting, and rainwater harvesting.
The document discusses various issues related to water scarcity and pollution in India. It provides statistics showing that India has 16% of the world's population but only 4% of its fresh water resources. It also notes that over-extraction of groundwater is depleting water tables, and both surface and groundwater sources are becoming polluted. Several challenges are discussed, including inadequate water infrastructure, lack of integrated management, pollution from industries and agriculture, and climate change impacts. Solutions proposed include improved conservation efforts, water recycling technologies, afforestation, and inter-linking of rivers.
The document discusses the global and local water crisis. It notes that over 1 billion people lack access to safe water and that by 2025, 2 out of 3 people will experience water shortages. It outlines several challenges facing India's water supply, including widespread groundwater depletion, pollution, lack of integrated management, and inadequate infrastructure. proposed solutions include investing in water conservation technologies, desalination plants, reducing pollution, and calculating individual and corporate water footprints to encourage sustainable use.
Mr. Sebastian Belle - Problems, Stumbling Blocks and Solutions for U.S. Aquac...John Blue
This document discusses the growing global demand for food and challenges facing food production. It notes that the world's population is projected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050, requiring food production to double. However, resources like arable land and fresh water are limited. Aquaculture is presented as a solution, as it is more efficient than terrestrial animal or plant production and can use water resources. The US imports over 90% of its seafood but aquaculture represents a major opportunity, though it faces challenges like lack of coordination and political support. Solutions proposed include developing a national aquaculture program to support the industry. Maine is seen as well positioned for growth due to its resources and infrastructure.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.tiwarimanvi3129
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
