There are at least another 1.5 billion in developed countries who may have access to clean water but don’t trust its quality. A number of widely publicised events about unreliable water services in countries have added to this mistrust. Seventeen years ago Walkerton in Canada had the country’s worst e.coli contamination of domestic water supply. It resulted in seven deaths and 2300 illnesses.

But the process was painful and inequitable, spurring much controversy. The city managed to stave off �oeDay Zero,” but does that mean Cape Town’s water system is resilient? We think not.

The latest edition of the agency's The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture (SOFIA) report projects that by 2030 combined production from capture fisheries and aquaculture will grow to 201 million tonnes.

To be sure, this is exactly what is missing when it comes to planning electricity production and transmission in the region. While most of the electricity systems are physically well-connected, according to research commissioned by the European Commission "the regional long-term transmission network development planning is practically the sum of individual national long-term network development plans, with minor coordination for cross-border transmission lines."

Wartsila Corporation, a Global Pilot Partner of the Seabin Project since 2017, is now donating Seabins to different marinas around the world. Asia's first Seabin was installed at the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club on Tuesday (April 10). The Seabin is now in about 15 countries all over the world, including Finland and the US. The first Seabin was installed in October 2017 in England.

Most days, Hoarith woke up at 5 a.m. and bought a bowl of noodle soup from a passing sampan, the same genre of wandering bodega from which his wife, Vo Thi Vioh, sold vegetables houseboat to houseboat. When she left for the day, around 6, Hoarith rolled up their floor mat and got to work. Chong Koh is one of hundreds of floating villages, comprising tens of thousands of families, on the Tonle Sap River and the lake of the same name in Cambodia. Dangers on a floating village multiply in the rainy season. When I first visited, in late July, there was always something for Hoarith to do: repairing storm damage in a wall of thatched palm, clearing the water hyacinths that collected along the upstream porch. Sometimes the house had to be towed closer to the receding shoreline so that storms or the waves of passing ships would not capsize it. Every few months, he got his ancient air compressor working and swam beneath the house, a rubber hose between his teeth, to refill the cement jars that kept the whole thing buoyant. He was mindful of pythons.

A team of scientists has conducted what they say is the most comprehensive study to date of the patch's size and the debris floating in it. Using a combination of drag netting and visual surveys from boats and an aeroplane, they estimated the patch is 1.6 million square kilometres in area �" almost the same size as Queensland. Packed into this area is more than 78,000 tonnes of plastic, the researchers report in the journal Scientific Reports.

While water infrastructure like treatment facilities, flood control systems, pipes, wastewater treatment plants and reservoirs are essential for public health and safety, our current, aging systems are inadequate for today’s needs. For example, in order to fulfill the growing demand for safe drinking water in the United States, the million-plus miles of water pipes across the country will require $1 trillion in investments over the next 25 years.

Nearly 2,000 state-regulated high-hazard dams in the United States were listed as being in need of repair in 2015, according to the Association of State Dam Safety Officials. A dam is considered �oehigh hazard” based on the potential for the loss of life as a result of failure. By 2020, 70 percent of the dams in the United States will be more than 50 years old, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers.

In particular, the role of resources �" and especially water �" is getting the recognition it deserves. This has been a long time coming. Both Ban and his predecessor, Kofi Annan, have argued for some two decades that protecting and sharing natural resources, particularly water, is critical to peace and security. But it was not until last November that the issue gained widespread acknowledgement, with Senegal �" that month’s UN Security Council president �" holding the UN’s first-ever official debate on water, peace, and security.

Many communities now live in a state of siege as they grapple with the cumulative impact of megaproject proposals, land colonization, deforestation, militarization, and the violence that inevitably follows. A recent report by Global Witness found that, in 2014 alone, 116 activists were killed for challenging megaprojects and extractive industries in Latin America. Forty percent of the victims were indigenous. In Honduras, the assassination of Lenca leader and Goldman Environmental Prize winner Berta Cáceres in March 2016 represents the latest episode in this bloody assault on activists.

The former New York City mayor was jovially referencing how Trump had appeared to beat the establishment in the way Jackson did in 1827. �oeThe people are rising up against a government they find to be dysfunctional,” he said. But the reference to Jackson could not have been more directly aimed at Standing Rock�"and all of Indian Country.

Just a few years ago, in the depths of its worst drought in at least 900 years, Israel was running out of water. Now it has a surplus. That remarkable turnaround was accomplished through national campaigns to conserve and reuse Israel’s meager water resources, but the biggest impact came from a new wave of desalination plants.

With growing populations, and increased demands from agriculture and industry, researchers indicated that this crisis is only likely to worsen. Rajendra Singh, known as the "water man of India," believes that critically depleted aquifers around the world can be revived with community effort. For the past 32 years, through his NGO Tarun Bharat Sangh (Young India Organization), Singh has led community-based water harvesting and water management initiatives in the Alwar district of Rajasthan, an arid, semi-desert state in the northwest of India.

Severe pollution in Rio de Janeiro’s Guanabara Bay is jeopardizing sailing and other water sports at the upcoming Olympic Games. A historic drought from 2013 to 2015 in São Paulo dramatically slowed farm and factory production, threatening the national economy. Residential water rationing forced people to stockpile water in canisters, which became breeding grounds for mosquito-borne dengue and may have contributed to the recent Zika outbreak. Some causes are familiar: inadequate enforcement of regulations, leaky water distribution systems, and population growth and urban development outstripping available water supplies. But looking outside the cities’ boundaries, a lesser-known cause emerges: degraded natural infrastructure.

And it is most probably also the most polluted water basin the whole world. [...] But it is also a sort of a huge salty lake, being a semi-enclosed sea with only two tiny points of contact with open oceans-the Suez Canal in the East and the Gibraltar Straits in the West. This implies that its waters need between 80 years and 150 years to be renewed [...] In other words, a drop of polluted water remains there, circulating for a whole century on average.

One of the first in recorded history erupted around 4,500 years ago, when the city-state of Lagash �" nestled between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern-day Iraq �" diverted water from its neighbor, Umma. Competition for water sparked violent incidents in ancient China and fueled political instability in Pharaonic Egypt. Today, actual wars between countries over water resources are uncommon, owing to improved dialogue and cross-border cooperation. But, within countries, competition for scarce water is becoming a more common source of instability and conflict, especially as climate change increases the severity and frequency of extreme weather events.

Unless water resources are managed with extraordinary care, the consequences could be devastating. Thu, 17 Mar 2016 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39552&lan=EN http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39522&lan=EN There are many reasons to be concerned about water resource challenges around the world, but three in particular hit with force over the past year: The first alarm bell sounded in Africa, where multiple countries are suffering some of the worst drought-related food shortages in more than a decade, driven by one of the strongest El Niño’s on record. International aid groups project that one million children in southern and eastern Africa are suffering severe malnutrition, and 2.5 million people across southern Africa are in crisis stages of food insecurity. While this crisis was driven by weather, it spotlights the kind of human misery that results from drought combined with often poorly managed water resources, such as inefficient irrigation practices and infiltration practices during droughts. It’s also a harbinger of disruptions that climate change will likely bring more of, particularly in parts of Latin America, Africa and Asia where poor populations are especially vulnerable.

In it we identified the main drivers of global ocean decline and mapped out a set of eight practical proposals for action to achieve global ocean recovery; these provide an economically and politically feasible roadmap for reversing the deteriorating health of the ocean within five years. Eighteen months after putting forward the proposals, it is time to take stock of how far we have come, and where we are headed.

The cut-flower industry is a short-cycle production process that requires the extensive use of agrochemicals which have a negative effect on the air, soil and water supply. The industry has loose regulatory status because flowers are not edible crops and are exempt from regulations on pesticide residues, although they carry significantly more pesticides than allowed on foods. It is estimated that one-fifth of the chemicals used in the floriculture industry in developing countries are banned or untested in the US. In 2015, the Montreal Protocol (signed in 1987 to prevent the depletion of the ozone layer) deadline for changing floricultural chemical use of Methyl Bromide came into effect in all developing countries. Already 100 per cent phased out in the US since 2005, Methyl Bromide is a toxic chemical hazardous to humans, five times more potent than Carbon Dioxide and destructive to the ozone layer with an Ozone Depletion Potential of 0.6 (with CFCs classified as 1).

The answer is that these species all became extinct since the year 2000, that is, in the last fifteen years. The Dodo became extinct in 1662. The one thing that all of these species have in common is that the cause of their extinction was human beings. The real tragedy is that the few species mentioned above do not begin to tell the story. Recent estimates indicate that 200 species of life (plants, birds, animals, fish, amphibians, insects, reptiles) are driven to extinction each day. Every day. This rate exceeds that during the last mass extinction event, when the dinosaurs vanished 65 million years ago. In short, planet Earth is now experiencing its sixth mass extinction event and we are the cause. How so?

The four-year-old civil war in Syria has been the single biggest driver of the surge: more than 4 million have fled the conflict, according to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Syrians made up a third of those crossing the Mediterranean in the first six months of 2015, the largest group by country of origin, followed by Afghans and Eritreans. Beyond conflict, there is another contributing factor: water scarcity. A well-documented path can connect water scarcity to food insecurity, social instability and potentially violent conflict. As climate change amplifies scarcity worries, more secure water supplies could help the lives of millions in conflict zones.

Thus, it is obvious why the dramatic impacts of anthropogenic climate disruption (ACD) are becoming increasingly prevalent and obvious. A recent NASA report reveals that the ice covering Greenland is melting faster than previously thought. If all the ice in Greenland melts completely, it alone would raise the global sea level by 23 feet. Global sea level increases due to ACD are already a key factor in why we are seeing so many instances of increased coastal flooding. The record flooding in South Carolina is an example of what scientists have been warning us about for quite some time: ACD is causing more moisture to become absorbed into the atmosphere as it warms, leading to record rainfalls, increasingly powerful storms and, hence, record flooding. What happened in South Carolina, which is now the sixth 1,000-year flooding event to happen in the United States since 2010, provides a clue about the nonlinear abrupt climate disruption the planet is now experiencing.

Clean it up: Shell's false claims about oil spills in the Niger Delta documents ongoing contamination at four oil spill sites that Shell said it had cleaned up years ago. The report is being published to mark the 20th anniversary of the execution, on 10 November 1995, of the environmental activist and writer, Ken Saro-Wiwa, who campaigned tirelessly against the damage caused by the oil industry in the Niger Delta.

Since the beginning of the year, Syria has reported 105,886 cases of acute diarrhoea. There has also been a sharp increase of Hepatitis A cases with a record 1,700 cases reported in one week alone last February. The intensification of conflict across the country has caused new waves of population displacement placing further strain on an already fragile water and sanitation network.

This is the unavoidable conclusion reached in the 2015 United Nations World Water Development Report, which was launched on 20 March in New Delhi (India), in time for World Water Day (22 March). "World Water Day reminds us of the importance of having access to a sufficient amount of safe water for a healthy and happy life. This is essentially our human right to water. But how many people can enjoy such right? How many women and girls can dispose of such a �oeluxury”? Is this a problem of availability of the resource or a political matter?" asked Flavia Schlegel, UNESCO Assistant Director General for the Natural Sciences.

He heads the organization’s response to the Syria crisis. Here, he reflects on his personal experiences working with Syrians. The story of Sabeen, who fled Syria just 24 hours after giving birth to her baby, will stay with me forever. As she sat on the floor of her caravan in Zaatari camp, in Jordan, she quietly looked into the distance and told me how, when approaching her due date, she had been forced to leave her home in Syria. Sabeen’s neighbor’s house had just been razed to the ground by heavy shelling, and she and her husband feared their house might be next.

It’s also one of the driest. With only a sliver of coastline, the majority of the region is landlocked and arid, and drought has reached emergency levels in 199 of the 224 districts. Federal money was allocated to improve the situation, but development has been patchy or non-existent. The reason, say local campaigners, is corruption.

Important because, along with the atmosphere, it is an essential component of the climate system which conditions all life. Important also for the resources it contains. Important, more indirectly, because it is in the ocean’s depths that resides the motor of the Earth crust’s dynamics, the ocean depths being the main characteristics of our planet. Important, finally, as it is the probable origin of life itself. Thus it is evident that the Ocean is a �oenecessary partner” of globalisations. In fact, one can say it "is" the centre of the world.
