2018 Statewide Case Competition (3rd place Team): Team 1
The document discusses issues related to water access and quality in Orangi Town, Pakistan. It notes problems like poor sanitation, overcrowding, and diseases from contaminated water. The plan proposes partnerships between local groups and government to install water pipes, booster chlorination stations, and UV treatment to purify water for more of the town. Smaller "Awami tanks" would also provide convenient access. An initial needs assessment would identify high priority areas and costs. The timeline outlines short, mid, and long-term goals like installing infrastructure, training, and evaluations to eventually provide clean water access to more of the community.
Charity water
Clean water is a right, not a privilege according to the document. Charity: Water is a non-profit organization that brings clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations using 100% of public donations to fund clean water projects.
Giving 100%: The reinvention of charity
This document summarizes the work of Charity: Water, a non-profit organization that brings clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. It discusses how Charity: Water funds only water projects, with 100% of public donations going directly to implementing water solutions like drilled wells, spring protections, and piped systems. It highlights individual fundraising efforts like giving up birthdays that have helped the organization fund over 140 water projects serving over 1.5 million people across 21 countries in Asia and Africa. It concludes by setting an ambitious 10-year goal of providing 7.3 million more people with clean water through continued technology-enabled fundraising and ensuring all 663 million people without access can one day drink clean, safe water
Journeys for Water: Survival Strategies for Urban India
The document summarizes research conducted by frog researchers in India to understand how urban slum dwellers access and use drinking water. The researchers traveled from Ahmedabad to Delhi, visiting slums and interviewing residents. They found that while water is abundant, the supply is rarely clean and reliable. Slum residents struggle daily to obtain the water they need. The researchers hope their findings will help solutions like Sarvajal's "water ATM" model expand access to clean drinking water for slum communities.

Ganges River Clean Up
The Ganges River in India is heavily polluted due to waste disposal and sewage. Various organizations aim to clean the river, and the government has a plan to prevent untreated sewage from entering the river by 2020. However, the daily waste disposed into the river is 89 million liters, and bacteria levels are 3000 times higher than what the WHO deems safe. While filtration plants and a water wheel that removes trash could help clean the river, the large poverty population and pollution from waste, debris, and bodies makes cleaning the river a major challenge.

Changing the Payment Model: Pay-as-You-Throw and Financial Efficiency
Changing the Payment Model: Pay-as-You-Throw and Financial Efficiency discusses moving away from flat fee payment models for waste disposal to a pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) model where residents pay based on how much waste they generate. Under the current flat fee model, waste disposal costs are not priced effectively and create inefficiencies. PAYT programs have been shown to significantly reduce household waste and increase recycling by as much as 50% while also lowering collection and disposal costs for municipalities. Bag-based PAYT programs, where residents pay per bag of trash, are identified as the most effective PAYT approach.
Ecological debt: how we ask for its repayment?
This document discusses the concept of ecological debt, which refers to the environmental costs that wealthy countries and elites have imposed on poorer nations and local communities through activities like carbon emissions, biopiracy, and environmental damage. It argues that ecological debt increases the vulnerability of these nations and communities. The document examines ways to quantify ecological debt using metrics like ecological footprints and considers how repayment could be achieved through mechanisms like debt cancellation, redirecting military spending, and ending fossil fuel subsidies.
Swaksh1
The document discusses rural water and sanitation models in India. It proposes a model where waste generated by rural communities is sent to a biogas treatment plant, producing biogas and fertilizer. The biogas is then converted to electricity, which is distributed to nearby villages. This provides rural areas with sanitation facilities and a renewable power source. Water availability can be an issue in rural areas, so portable generators may be used to pump water from bore wells. The model aims to create a sustainable system where waste is used to generate resources like power and fertilizer for the community.
Small Actions Presentation By Dan M
Small, individual actions like recycling and reducing personal consumption have little political impact and do not create meaningful social change. While making personal lifestyle changes can raise awareness and reduce individual harms, the root causes of issues like climate change lie in large-scale corporate and industrial activities, not individual behaviors. True political change comes from organizing collective resistance through tactics like protests, boycotts, and lobbying that challenge existing power structures, not from individual consumption choices.
CIVIL-WARRIORS2014
This document outlines a proposal by five team members to address the lack of clean drinking water and proper sanitation in India. It discusses the problems of lack of interest from administrative organizations, citizen awareness, and water management. The team's proposed solutions include maintaining existing water sources, public-private partnerships, connecting major rivers, increasing water storage, and encouraging rainwater harvesting. The implementation plan involves public-private partnerships for clean water and sanitation. Challenges include gaining farmer confidence, assessing environmental impacts, and avoiding political influences.
Population Density
Population density refers to the number of people per square kilometer in an area, which can have high or low density and each brings problems. For example, in the highly dense city of Kolkata, India, there is a lack of open space as people are crammed tightly together, a shortage of clean water as millions must share limited resources and pollution from sewage in streets, rubbish, and bad air quality.
MaintreamingGenderinWaterResources_WorldVision Process
This document discusses the importance of adopting a gender approach to water resource management. It notes that women are primarily responsible for domestic water tasks in most societies but are often overlooked in water projects and management. Mainstreaming gender can lead to more efficient, effective, equitable and sustainable water systems. The document provides examples from various countries where integrating women in water management committees and decisions has improved cost recovery, hygiene, and sustainability of water infrastructure and services.

Group 6 Presentation SOCIAL ENTERPRIZE PLAN
The social enterprise plan aims to address water shortage and quality issues in Murree, Pakistan. The population of 300,000 faces challenges obtaining safe water from contaminated sources. The plan proposes providing affordable water purifiers that can purify waste water for reuse, reducing dependence on tanker suppliers. This would improve health by decreasing water-borne diseases. The social enterprise seeks to be a trendsetting organization that transforms public health through innovation and affordable access to safe water.
Resilience: The Secret Sauce of Water Cities
1) Cities are investing in resilience to protect against threats from water like hurricanes, floods, and sea level rise. This used to be seen as a burden but now some cities are leveraging resilience to reinvent themselves as water cities.
2) Being resilient allows cities to recover quickly from disasters and attract businesses, viewing resilience not just as safety but as an economic asset.
3) Water cities embrace their waterfront exposure and position resilience and access to water as part of their identity and competitive advantage for economic development.
Liveability or Environmentalism for the Poor
What constitute the environmentalism for the poor? What does sustainability for the poor means? Urbanism and liveability in the perspective of the socially and economically disadvantage of social class and how ecological sustainability play a role in this context.
How to Talk About Pay-as-You-Throw
The document discusses how to communicate about pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) programs to residents. It emphasizes that clear communication and education are needed to overcome political challenges. It provides tips for explaining the benefits of PAYT, including financial savings for households, operational efficiencies, environmental impacts, and ease of use. Comprehensive outreach both before and after implementing PAYT is important to gain support and answer questions. The goal is to help communities explain PAYT in a way that residents understand and support.
Behavior Change: The Key to Ending Open Defecation (Srikanth)
What if you had no place to “go?” One billion people
don’t have access to toilets, and are therefore left with no
choice but to defacate outside, often without privacy. This
practice spreads disease and contaminates drinking water.
Explore some case studies with Rotarian volunteers and a
behavioral expert, and discover what strategies are engaging
communities to consider eliminating the practice of open
defecation.
Why Is Public Transportation Important
Public transportation is important because it provides economic and environmental benefits. It enhances opportunities for jobs and a better quality of life while saving fuel and reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions. Using public transit also saves individuals money and reduces gasoline consumption compared to personal vehicle usage.

一位熟识的女士告诉香港六合彩，香港六合彩的先生又为戒烟跟香港六合彩怄气了。
香港六合彩苦笑，香港六合彩也苦笑。这个人，真拿香港六合彩没办法！怎么也改不掉香港六合彩那臭脾气，怨天尤
人。
对此，香港六合彩也有同感。
当香港六合彩先生老鲁还被叫着小鲁的时候，香港六合彩们同过事，而且办公桌面对面坐着。那时革命刚
刚成功，人们还不十分富裕，烟民只能抽劣质烟，弄得办公室里，乌烟瘴气，烟臭熏人。起
先，小鲁和香港六合彩是统一战线，是反对派，对那几位老枪，屡提抗议。后来，香港六合彩们分道扬镳了，
先抽自卷的烟，后抽板烟，年纪轻轻，叼个烟斗，老气横秋。在烟雾里看世界，那皱眉头的
样子，好像所有人都欠香港六合彩二百吊似的。
说起来，香港六合彩的烟龄和香港六合彩们共和国的年纪，大概差不多长短。不过，香港六合彩知道香港六合彩反对吸烟的
历史，当然还要长一些。香港六合彩是先宣传戒烟而后才抽烟的，这似乎有点奇怪，但像香港六合彩这样明知
道是陷阱，硬要往里跳的主，也非香港六合彩一个。革了一辈子命，然后堕落；两袖清风多少年，最
终贪污受贿，数十载如一日，道德文章，结果把好几个年轻女孩肚子搞得膨胀起来；学了许
多马列，一台彩电，外加一把刮胡子刀，连灵魂都敢出卖，不能坚持到底，没有经住考验的
人，多了去了，小鲁说：抽烟算什

Slides -the_bridges_transition_model
This document summarizes key points from William Bridges' book "Managing Transitions" about managing organizational change. Bridges distinguishes between change, which is situational, and transition, which is the psychological process of accepting changes. Transition occurs in three phases: endings, neutral zone, and new beginnings. Leaders can help employees through each phase by communicating, acknowledging losses and emotions, setting goals and celebrating wins. Ultimately, managing transitions successfully requires planning for the human and cultural aspects of change.

Should Water be Privatized?
Should Water be Privatized?
It is at the maxim of ethical human beings to utilize the resource within their vicinity, not only in .an efficient manner, but also in a sustainable way. The question of what is a sustainable way of exploiting resources is however controversial when the resource in question is not enough for the current users. Maler & Vincent (2005) defines sustainable exploitation as the use of resources by the current generation in a way that does not compromise with the future generations’ use of the same resource. [Maler & Vincent do not define sustainable exploitation] Therefore, depletion of a resource trying to save the current generation would technically be killing future generations. This raises the question on what should be privatized and what should be left for public utility. In today’s overpopulated, globally warming and highly business-oriented world, water is becoming a bone of contention. Water scarcity in the world is being evidenced by prolonged droughts and increasingly low rainfall and precipitation. Besides these natural causes, artificial causes include overuse, misuse, and inefficiency in handling water. This leaves one thinking of ways to save the highly precious resource from depletion. Business minded individuals would, therefore, propose for privatization of the world's water reservoirs. This would limit access to water to only those who can afford the property rights to it but in turn, would be ensuring sustainable exploitation. However, at the same time, it would deny humanity a right given by nature. This would lead to a chain of problems beginning with health issues, hunger to death. Therefore, water is a right for all humans and cannot become the property of any business.
Foremost, water is life. This is an old-time saying, which may sound cliché to the rich but has a lot of weight when examined critically. Simple biology asserts that Water is a basic daily necessity without which no fauna nor flora can survive (Ouchley, 2010). [Ouchley did not make this statement in the book] Privatizing water to be owned by a corporation selling only to those who can afford it is therefore simply denying humanity survival. In the long run, this will be like adding a price to everything man needs for his survival. For instance, agriculture becomes more expensive, in turn inflating food prices which in turn cause a rise in the price of services such as healthcare and education. The price of clothing (from cotton) will reflect the increased price of water. Hydroelectric power companies will inflate energy prices to cater for the increased cost. The price increase effect will be felt in every aspect of humanity. According to Maler & Vincent (2005), privatization is supposed to eliminate the problem of the commons. This, in tu ...
Water Supply In California
1) Public supply is the second largest consumer of water in California. Public water supply systems provide water to communities for domestic, commercial, industrial, and public uses like pools and parks.
2) Public water supply systems are run by either government entities or private companies. They supply everyday water usage to people in counties and communities.
3) Water for public supply comes from sources like rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and is used by both humans and other species for survival.

WATER_AND_SANITATION_FOR_THE_URBAN_POOR.pdf
- Rapid urban growth in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia has the potential to lift millions out of poverty if managed well, but clean water and sanitation are lacking in many emerging urban settlements.
- Utilities are often seen as unable to serve the poorest, but WSUP believes utilities can deliver services to all with the right support, such as dedicated teams for low-income communities.
- Five myths are stopping progress on universal access to water and sanitation: utilities cannot serve the poor, water should be free, communities should manage their own services, only household facilities matter, and toilets alone will solve sanitation issues.

Ethics And Privatization Of Public Systems Essay
Paragraph 1: Privatization of public systems has increased in both developed and developing countries in recent decades due to inefficiencies of many public companies and their financial burden on countries. Private companies claim to have more expertise and require less capital and government resources to operate.
Paragraph 2: Private water companies aim to reduce costs and increase revenues. Cost reductions can be achieved through more efficient equipment or reducing labor costs, but the latter poses ethical issues. Companies may also save costs by only supplying water to wealthier areas that can afford to pay.
Paragraph 3: Increasing revenues through higher water prices also poses ethical issues. Higher prices could reduce access to water for

Rethinking Hydrophilanthropy
The document discusses the need for reform in the water and sanitation sector. It argues that the current approach focuses too much on charity rather than development, leading to high rates of project failure. Communities are expected to contribute through "sweat equity" but this does not create a sense of ownership and ensure long-term success. The CEO of Water For People calls for a new partnership between philanthropists and development agencies that leverages donations to instill financial responsibility in communities and governments. He advocates for new metrics that assess long-term functionality and sustainability beyond just counting initial access.
Rights, Needs and Responsibilities in Water Governance: Reflections from Sout...
This document summarizes a presentation on water governance in South Africa. It discusses tensions between viewing water as a human right versus an economic good, and between public vs. private water provision. It outlines South Africa's major water reforms in the late 1990s that enshrined water access as a human right. However, court cases later narrowed the definition of basic water needs. There are also challenges in clearly defining responsibilities across rural and urban water services given complex governance arrangements. The document calls for redefining needs, rights and responsibilities in a way that better reflects people's realities and promotes sustainable services.

Chuquitanta_Eng
This policy brief summarizes research on everyday risks related to wastewater and solid waste management in the Chuquitanta area of Lima, Peru. Key findings include that wastewater and solid waste from industrial, domestic, and construction sources are polluting local waterways and negatively impacting public health. While laws exist, enforcement is lacking. The brief proposes two strategies - a community-based approach to build capacity and form an association, and a wastewater partnership - to help residents and authorities address risks, build awareness, and work with stakeholders towards environmental transformation.
Introduction water challenge
The document discusses the global challenges of water resource management. It notes that rapid population growth, increasing water demands, deteriorating water quality, and climate change are exacerbating a global water crisis. While there have been many international agreements regarding this crisis, little progress has been made in implementing solutions. Achieving targets for access to safe drinking water and sanitation by 2015 will require significant increases in funding from national governments, international donors, and private sector investment. Pricing water appropriately and utilizing public-private partnerships could help address the crisis by increasing investment while protecting access for poor communities.
