Jenny Deakin from the EPA Catchments Unit gave a Teagasc Signpost Seminar on April 20 2021. The seminar covered water quality, focused on the agricultural sector, and the solutions needed to improve water quality, and new tools to target the right measure in the right place. This includes upgraded Pollution Impact Potential Maps for Nitrogen and Phosphorus, together with overland flow and focused delivery points.
With water resource variability rapidly growing and demands on water resources increasing, using digital tools and innovative, inclusive institutional approaches to address both challenges is becoming ever-more urgent.
A recent workshop under the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (Research Area on Variability, Risks and Competing Uses), showcased research outputs in two activity clusters - Managing Resource Variability and Risks for Resilience and Managing Competing Uses and Trade-offs - that can help increase water security for poor rural users while also improving food security and rural livelihoods.

Objectives:
There was a dramatic geographic shift in agriculture in the 20th century which concentrated grain production in a small area in the upper Midwest and concentrated vegetable, potato, cotton and other crops in the arid West. This new geography may be extremely vulnerable to climate change and variability. The Midwest droughts 2012 and the current California drought are illustrative of the problems our USDA-EaSM proposal foresaw in 2010.
It is the objective of this project to determine whether a more distributed geographical production system with the SE increasing irrigated production is both economically and environmentally sustainable.
The overall condition of Gatineau Park is “good”, confirms the National Capital Commission’s (NCC) Status Report on Gatineau Park Ecosystems. In 2006, it was deemed “acceptable.”
The Status Report on Gatineau Park Ecosystems seeks to evaluate the health of Gatineau Park’s ecosystems by measuring up to 10 years of data against ecological health indicators. This status report looks at the long-term trends in Gatineau Park, and identifies several issues of concern. The status report will also inform the renewal of the Gatineau Park Master Plan, which will be completed by 2021.
Since the launch of the Gatineau Park Conservation Plan (2010), the NCC has made progress on addressing issues of concern, and will continue to work with its partners, stakeholders and municipalities to improve the ecological health of the Park.

2018 GIS in Conservation: The Effect of Channel Migration on Riparian Vegetat...GIS in the Rockies
Historically, the South Platte River in Colorado has experienced substantial inter-annual flow variability, but due to water management over the last century, there has been a parallel rise in ground and surface water level consistency. This is problematic for the dominant riparian vegetation of the region, the disturbance-dependent cottonwood, which relies on frequent flood events to clear vegetation to allow for the growth of new trees along the riverbank. Through this research, we attempt to understand the patterns and dynamics of the South Platte River’s riparian vegetation to aid resource management. This research focuses on channel migration dynamics and how these impact adjacent riparian vegetation. To study this, we digitized riparian vegetation using orthophotos at roughly decade increments for a 30 km section of the South Platte in Weld and Morgan counties. We measured changes to riparian vegetation composition and channel locations. Preliminary results show that from 1999 to 2006, a period of overall low flow and drought conditions, this section of river experienced a narrowing of the active channel by 11%. This narrowing was accompanied by an expansion of forest, riparian shrub, and herbaceous vegetation. From 2006 to 2015, a period of time that included high flows and two major flood events, we observed channel expansion of 24%. This was accompanied by decreases in forests, riparian shrubs, and herbaceous cover.
Integrated Water Resource Planning - Water, Forests, People and PolicyGeoEngineers, Inc.
This slideshow presents a series of graphics, photographs and statements reflective of integrated water resource management with specific reference to forest management in a changing climate. We are already experiencing the migration of animals and humans with climate shifts. The severity and frequency of wildfires, droughts, floods and ocean acidification are also increasing. Impacts to our economy, infrastructure and atmosphere have lead us to difficult choices regarding land use and future policy development to better manage our natural resources.

Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
