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.

The People’s Water Board is a coalition of labor, social justice, and environmental organizations based in Detroit. They work together to confront: 1) devastating lack of access to water faced by tens of thousands of low-income people who have had their water shut off; 2) water pollution due to aging wastewater infrastructure; and 3) the effort of corporate interests to gain control of Detroit’s water system. Listen to this panel discussion to learn about their struggles and victories.
This webinar will introduce draft resolution guidelines and explores next steps for resolution through brief presentations and moderated discussion.

Bunaken Island | Nov-15 | Improving the water supply, sanitation and hygiene ...Smart Villages
By Lyn Capistrano, Apolonio Jimenez
Off-grid electrification for development of small islands represents a number of unique challenges under the broad category of rural electrification. Small, off-grid island communities are particularly vulnerable to diesel price fluctuations and natural disasters, and thus, enhancing resilience through more sustainable and cheaper energy technologies should be a key priority. Financing the transition to these technologies – usually photovoltaic, micro-hydro or sometimes wind – is an essential hurdle to overcome. Once electricity systems are in place it is equally important that they are sustained in the longer term with effective arrangements for operation and maintenance, cost recovery etc. Related to this, is the productive use of the energy provided to increase islander incomes.
The workshop on Bunaken Island, Sulawesi, Indonesia from 3 to 5 November 2015, organised by the Smart Villages Initiative in collaboration with Kopernik, will explore these issues and develop recommendations for policy makers, development agencies and other stakeholders in energy provision to island communities.

Water is a critical natural resource and an essential part of the planet’s ecosystem. As a resource within the built environment, it is also notoriously ill-managed.
But, getting wise on water is essential to good business practice and space management - it is often a high and unseen cost. Drawing from a range of sector examples, Julie’s Bicycle will help you to understand different monitoring options as well as a whole host of actions for reduction – from behavioural to technical interventions.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

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.
2. Now more than ever, with arid climates all
over our country facing some of the worst
droughts on record, homeowner association
(HOA) and community association leaders
need to proactively implement water
conservation policies.
Is my association board
doing enough?
Is water conservation
a high priority for my HOA?
What can we do to
minimize water usage
in our community?
Ask yourself:
3. Conserve in Your Common Areas
• Install low-flow toilets,
water-conserving toilet
flappers and sinks
• Lead by example, and inspire
your community
• Conserve water and save money!
1
4. 2 Take a Look at Your Landscaping
• Lush landscaping is often a huge source of wasted water
• Choose low-water, drought-tolerant plants and flowers
• Keep your eye out for faulty or old irrigation systems
• Monitor your irrigation system for leaks!
5. 3 Educate Residents
• Communicate to residents the importance of water conservation
• Feature tips on how to install water-saving toilets, showers and
faucets in your homes in your community newsletter
• Send weekly water-saving reminder emails
• Educating residents will create a more effective water
conservation plan
6. 4 Conduct an Energy Audit
• Review your community’s energy
usage to identify ways to save money
• Examine all of your utilities, including
electric and gas, to find and eliminate
water waste
• Hire a third-party energy audit
company for an unbiased point of view
• Take action to minimize water consumption
7. 5 Partner with a Residential Property
Management Company
• Improve your water conservation efforts by working with a
residential property management company
• Create water-saving strategies together
• Arrange for energy audits
• Manage community-wide energy-saving improvements
• Facilitate better communication between community members
and leadership
• Help board members set up and run board meetings
more efficiently
• Improve the overall quality of life within the community
8. Conserving water is a real concern for everyone.
