In dieser Untersuchung wird die Bedeutung der Ressource Wasser als Standortfaktor für die bayerische Wirtschaft und den Wirtschaftszweig Wasserwirtschaft unter den Randbedingungen des Klimawandels, der demografischen Entwicklung und der Globalisierung untersucht. Für die meisten...

We find evidence that water stress of physical assets is an additional component of risk for investors. The World Resources Institute (WRI) found that 1 in 5 people are living in areas at high risk of water scarcity. Recently, the WRI Aqueduct 3.0 model provided new data and insights for...

Objective – Climate change has an impact on not only environmental problems, but also on socio-economic communities. Indonesia as an archipelago country has the second longest coastline after Canada. Indonesia has a high vulnerability to climate change, especially rising sea levels which can...

With many water resources overcommitted and suffering environmental degradation, it is becoming urgent to find ways to reallocate increasingly scarce water supplies to meet rising demand and growing environmental concerns. In Canada, this challenge is nowhere better illustrated than in Alberta....

The disproportionate burden of water collection, maintenance, and service for women in developing economies calls for a juxtaposition of water infrastructure and gender differences at the household level. We use spatiotemporal data from the largest gender disaggregated human development survey...

Institutional arrangements to protect the environment, manage natural resources, or regulate other aspects of society and the environment are not merely matters of optimal institutional design or choice. These arrangements result, at least in substantial part, from the evolution of...

Property issues arise in interconnected physical, social, and legal environments. All indications point to interconnections that are complex, far-reaching in scope, multi-scalar, dynamic, and nonlinear. Property institutions must adapt to these complexities and changing conditions. However, it...

The water resource literature documents the solution that community water system regionalization (CWSR) offers, based on economies of scale, to challenges small community water systems (CWSs) face born of financial distress. But in practice very few systems actually regionalize. Imposing a model...

Desalination may provide a reliable supply of water to a city with chronic water shortage, but it is hardly the best option for more than one reason. Alternatives such as reuse of treated waste water can address the twin problems of water supply and waste discharge. Moreover, desalination only...

Wastewater treatment requires coagulants in a sedimentation-filtration stage for which effective coagulants were needed. Moringa oleifera and Vigna unguiculata shows adequate water-soluble proteins that show active coagulant properties. Jar test analysis shows that chemical coagulant Alum gives...
