urban and peri-urban agriculture despite the health and environmental risks associated with this practice. It is estimated that up to one-tenth of the world’s population eats food produced from wastewater. As populations continue to grow and more freshwater is diverted to cities for domestic use (70 per cent of which later returns as wastewater ) the use of wastewater is certain to increase‚ both in terms of the areas irrigated‚ and in the volumes applied. Farmers who are irrigating their land with

Kane’ohe Bay is home to a variety of marine organisms. They bay itself is constantly being modified by a variety of factors. The bay is exposed to freshwater input from several streams‚ oceanic influences from water surges over the fringing reef and through the two access channels‚ and experiences terrestrial runoff from the nearshore areas. Input from the freshwater streams provides nutrients‚ sediment and other materials into the bay. Pollutants are added to the bay from terrestrial runoff and land development

Hydraulic fracturing is when a hole or "well" is drilled deep into the ground‚ in an effort to extract valuable natural gas reserves which exist beneath the surface. The process of constructing a hydraulic fracturing well includes drilling into the Earth--first vertically and then horizontally‚ then lining the well with a two-terminal tube with one terminal that is filled with water while the other pipes the recovered natural gases up above ground (Withgott & Laposata‚ 2014). In order to exhume the

There are three methods of desalination which include‚ pressure‚ thermal‚ and electrical. Thermal desalination has been around since the stone ages‚ the water is boiled and the steam is eventually collect by leaving the salt behind. The use of an electrical fields to produce fresh water‚ this system uses far less energy than other methods. There’s a certain phrase and technique in which they use that is called‚ electromechanically mediated seawater desalination. Pressure desalination also known

1. INTRODUCTION In last decade we can notice a trend of constant growth of environmental pollution in Europe and also elsewhere in the world. Every year European Union produces around 2 billion tone of waste materials and the number is getting 10% bigger every year. There is also a constant increase of carbon dioxide emissions that are a result of increasing consumption of energy and cars. Majority of European Union members is fighting with utmost and more and more frequent weather conditions

Introduction Fisheries sector occupies a very important place in the socio-economic development of the country. It has been recognized as a powerful income and employment generator as it stimulates growth of a number of subsidiary industries‚ and is a source of cheap and nutritious food besides being a foreign exchange earner. Most importantly‚ it is the source of livelihood for a large section of economically backward population of the country. The main challenges facing fisheries development
