This document discusses principles for sustainable land development. It covers green goals related to the environment, society, and economy. It also discusses ecosystems and ecosystem services, as well as air, soil, and water quality. Best management practices are presented for erosion prevention, stormwater management, and construction. Both non-structural practices like limiting impervious surfaces and structural practices like infiltration facilities are described. The importance of considering the entire development process from master planning to operations is emphasized.
As coberturas e fachadas mediterrânicas, vivas e produtivas promovem o bem estar e a qualidade de vida das populações e contribuem decisivamente para o aumento da resiliência das cidades. Por esta razão é essencial não apenas o conhecimento das soluções existentes que melhor se adaptam ao nosso clima, como ainda o desenvolvimento das competências técnicas essenciais para a boa implementação daquelas soluções. O enfoque deste Workshop está na demonstração da integração da dimensão verde nas cidades e das oportunidades de intervenção conducentes à melhoria do desempenho energético dos edifícios, à redução do “efeito ilha de calor”, à boa gestão das águas pluviais, à reciclagem de águas cinzentas, à melhoria da qualidade do ar, ao aumento da biodiversidade e à segurança alimentar das populações urbanas, sempre assentando nas melhores e mais adequadas tecnologias disponíveis.

Water as a Human Right for Sustainable Development Goals. gwiwater
The 7th MDG (7C) focused on halving the proportion of the population without access to clean water and sanitation services is not a reality for many vulnerable people in rural dryland areas and post-conflict countries.
The right to access to water is key to achieving environmental sustainability, overall peace, and a scalable economy worldwide
sustainable development & the water, energy food security nexus is discussed. The content throws light on sustainable development : Effects on the livelihood of common man.
Natural resources (economically referred to as land or raw materials) occur naturally within environments that exist relatively undisturbed by mankind, in a natural form. A natural resource is often characterized by amounts of biodiversity existent in various ecosystems.
The growth leads to the depletion of natural resources of the planet. One of them is wood. We use unnecessary paper! Too much mess! Beware of CO2 imbalance... The immediate solution to stop destroying forests: dematerialization of exchanges with legal convincing value. Zero paper! The electronic originals are sealed and encrypted in a nominative and communicating electronic safe. The identification of counterparts is made via Magicaxess, a new high tech of identification WITHOUT having to download a digital certificate!

Presentation for Policy Course - Barriers to Implementation. Differs from February presentation by details regarding NC LID Guidebook Case Studies and the USGBC study on the costs-benefits of LEED with regard to schools.
PDF version of my presentation. Focuses on Barriers to Implementing LID and LEED. Gives references to and examples of advantages for LID - including potential lower front-end and back-end costs, as well as better water quality. LEED examples show energy and health benefits for LEED constructed schools. JAPA Article shows what techniques are used in LEED-ND developments.
ALL development occurs in a watershed
All development has a water profile LID can improve Water Quality and Water Quantity
Need to view run-off as a resource

Update revision of February Presentation for "Barriers to Implementation" includes new slides pertaining to LEED and Schools, and a brief discussion of the LEED Survey in the Fall 2009 JAPA magazine.
LID LEED and Policy August 2010 (final) (handouts)Jon Barsanti
A look at what and who is holding back LID and LEED developments. Looks at the returns on investments and the benefits to the ecosystem by changing our thinking towards where and how we develop
Membrane Separation Technology for Water Treatment in Upstream Oil & Gas Oper...James Robinson
Membrane Separation Technology for Water Treatment in Upstream Oil & Gas Operations
presented by James Robinson on April 20, 2016, at the "Semi-Annual Water & Wastewater Short Course: Issues, Challenges, Solutions & New Technologies" hosted by the Global Petroleum Research Institute (GPRI) at Texas A&M's Department of Petroleum Engineering.
This is a training on erosion prevention & sediment control for small projects using the most commonly available and effective methods for various runoff conditions.
Parking Forest Questions from the City of GreshamMaria Cahill
Gresham is considering using structural soil under their sidewalks to improve tree health and increase tree canopy but staff had a number of questions.
Overview of two pilot projects of the Parking Forest, an assembly of common materials used to increase tree canopy and manage stormwater in parking lots without losing parking spaces.
Stormwater management for challenging sites. This slide show was used for a class presented on Dec 5, 2013 at the Rogue Valley Sewer Services in Central Point, OR.
The Parking Forest is an assembly of materials to incorporate trees and stormwater management into parking lots without losing parking spaces. This presentation, which is an overview of stormwater and water quality, was presented by Brian Wegener of the Tualatin Riverkeepers and is posted with his permission.
The Parking Forest is an assembly of materials to incorporate trees and stormwater management into parking lots without losing parking spaces. This presentation, part of a 4-hour training that included an overview of stormwater and water quality, tree needs, and pervious concreete, provides an overview of the assembly of materials including information on structural soils.
