Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
Due to industrialization and increasing population, water demand continues to grow at compound annual growth rates of 7–8%. The current demand is also intensified by increased water utilization for hand washing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, around 20,000 desalination plants operating around the world produce 100 million cubic meters of water per day to supply 300 million people. These desalination plants are a major source of environmental and marine pollution due to their inefficient operation. Scientists and researchers are encouraged to develop out-of-box solutions to achieve future sustainability. This book addresses key challenges related to the desalination industry.

Rapport mondial des Nations Unies sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau 2017
Author: UNESCO
Publisher: UNESCO Publishing
ISBN: 9232001152
Category : Sewage
Languages : fr
Pages : 203
Book Description
Le programme mondial des Nations Unies pour l'évaluation des ressources en eau (WWAP) est hébergé par l'UNESCO. Le WWAP rassemble les travaux de 31 membres d'ONU-Eau et de 38 partenaires pour publier le Rapport mondial des Nations Unies sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau (WWDR). Le Rapport mondial sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau porte sur des questions stratégiques liées à l'eau. Les membres et partenaires d'ONU-Eau, tous des experts dans leurs domaines respectifs, révèlent les découvertes les plus récentes sur un thème spécifique. L'édition de 2017 du Rapport mondial sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau porte sur les " eaux usées " et vise à informer les décideurs, à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur de la communauté de l'eau, sur l'importance de la gestion des eaux usées en tant que source sous-évaluée et durable d'eau, d'énergie, de nutriments et d'autres sous-produits récupérables, plutôt que quelque chose à éliminer ou une nuisance à ignorer. Le titre du rapport, Les eaux usées : Une ressource inexploitée, traduit le rôle crucial que les eaux usées sont appelées à jouer dans le contexte d'une économie circulaire, dans laquelle le développement économique s'équilibre avec la protection des ressources et la durabilité de l'environnement, et où une économie plus propre et plus durable a un effet positif sur la qualité de l'eau. L'amélioration de la gestion des eaux usées est essentielle non seulement à la réalisation de l'Objectif de développement durable portant sur l'eau et l'assainissement (ODD 6), mais aussi à d'autres objectifs du Programme de développement durable à l'horizon 2030. Dans un monde où la demande en eau douce augmente sans cesse, et où les ressources en eau limitées subissent de plus en plus des contraintes du fait de la surexploitation, de la pollution et des changements climatiques, il est tout simplement impensable de négliger les opportunités qu'offre l'amélioration de la gestion des eaux usées.

Human Rights and the Environment in Africa
Author: Jean-Claude N. Ashukem
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000997677
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
The relationship between human rights and the environment, as evidenced by the recent UN Resolution on the human right to a healthy environment, is a topical, fascinating, uneasy, and increasingly urgent one. This timely collection explores the inextricable relationship between human rights and the environment as a critical lens for understanding and addressing key human rights and environmental issues confronting Africa. The work explores theoretical, philosophical, doctrinal, and empirical research to interrogate and provide clarity on how and whether the human rights-based approach to environmental protection and policy implications has been effective in enhancing environmental protection and sustainability in Africa. It brings together an elite group of African and international experts to investigate the increasing connectivity and problems with African human rights, environmental governance, and the quest for sustainability. The book is divided into thematic clusters, including: the right of vulnerable communities to sustainability; climate change, the right to development and natural resource governance; corporate environmental responsibility and sustainability; the philosophy of environmental ethics and theories of human rights approaches to environmental governance; procedural environmental rights; the role of the judiciary in environmental protection; and desertification. These themes provide a structure to investigate and clarify specific fundamental questions on Africa’s environmental governance paradigm. This innovative contribution provides an interdisciplinary approach to the philosophical interrelationship and use of human rights approaches to ensure and enhance environmental protection and sustainability. As such, the book will be of interest to African scholars, researchers and students in Human Rights Law, Environmental Studies, Political Science, Ecology and Conservation and Development Studies. It will also be a valuable resource for policymakers, governments, NGOs, practitioners, and all those interested in African environmental governance.

Pages : 314
Book Description
This book presents smart energy management in the context of energy transition. It presents the motivation, impacts and challenges related to this hot topic. Then, it focuses on the use of techniques and tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) to solve the challenges related to this problem. A global diagram presenting the general principle of these techniques is presented. Then, these techniques are compared according to a set of criteria in order to show their advantages and disadvantages with respect to the conditions and constraints of intelligent energy management applications in the context of energy transition. Several examples are used throughout the white paper to illustrate the concepts and methods presented. An intelligent electrical network (smart grid—SG) includes heterogeneous and distributed electricity production, transmission, distribution and consumption components. It is the next generation of electricity network able to manage electricity demand (consumption/production/distribution) in a sustainable, reliable and economical way taking into account the penetration of renewable energies (solar, wind, etc.). Therefore, a (SG) smart grid also includes an intelligent layer that analyzes the data provided by consumers as well as that collected from the production side in order to optimize consumption and production according to weather conditions, the profile and habits of the consumer. In addition, this system can improve the use of green energy through renewable energy penetration and demand response.
