Abstract:

The United Nations launched their 'Decade for Sustainable Development', which directly relates to Education for Sustainable Development, a new environmental management system for schools. The formal education process provides a key testing ground for the development of new Infori-nation and Communication Technology (ICT) tools designed to raise environmental awareness. Several types of purpose designed ICT tool are available, but there is a distinct lack of empirical research into their design and effectiveness. Strategic objectives performance takes the central role in the work reported here.

Abstract:

In response to water supply depletion challenges, countries such as Australia, the United States, and Namibia have implemented technologies that treat wastewater up to the standards permissible to use for irrigation, toilet flushing, and even drinking water. However, many of these countries have been unable to successfully implement some of their ambitious reclaimed water reuse projects due to negative public perceptions of recycling wastewater. The focus of this study was to understand which factors in risk perception theory are the most influential in shaping community perceptions of reclaim

Abstract:

Due to the extreme climate change, air and water pollution, environmental issues have become a global problem. In recent years Taiwan, despite being the country with the highest rate of precipitation of any developed country in the world, has faced a severe water crisis which is expected to worsen in the 21st century. To enable the sustainable use of water resources, the Water Resources Agency has established guidelines of water resources management in terms of allocation of water resources, improvement of water use efficiency, and saving water.

When referring to 'acceptance' the study is referring to a respondent's preparedness to adopt the use of a solar water heater and to have one installed at his/her home. When referring to the respondent's 'awareness', reference is made to the degree of knowledge a respondent possesses about the use and basic functioning of solar water heaters. The 'willingness to pay' is an indication

Abstract:

As California contends with climate change and more extreme cycles of drought and deluge, water management agencies and conservation groups are looking towards solutions to the decreasing reliability of imported water supplies. Stormwater has historically been perceived as a threat to development but when captured properly, it presents a resource that can augment local water supplies. Solutions to water supply issues in California have traditionally employed technical and centrally controlled methods for importing water, but there is a growing understanding that parcel-level capture through ve

Vatten är grunden för allt liv på jorden och en livsviktig resurs för både människor, djur och växtlighet. Trots det tenderar människor att se vatten som en oändlig resurs och tar tillgången på rent dricksvatten för givet. I Sverige används både grundvatten samt ytvatten från vattendrag och sjöar till dricksvatten. Tillgången på sötvatten påverkas av förändringar i klimatet och under de senaste åren har somrarna i de södra delarna av Sverige varit ovanligt torra och varma samtidigt som det har fallit mindre nederbörd än vad som är normalt. Detta har tidvis medfört en osäkerhet kring tillgången

Faced with the current water crisis, it is necessary to reassess the degree of conservation of water bodies, especially reservoirs (dams), in order to maximize their possibilities of use.

Taking into account the standards set by the National Environment Council (CONAMA) for each use for which the water is intended, the levels of conservation of the reservoir water are elements of concern, mainly b

Technology transforms consciousness, but consciousness also transforms technology. This relational aspect of evolutionary change, which is essential to Ong’s work, is often missed or misread. The misreadings obscure important concepts in Ong’s work that can h
