Groundwater Management
Author: Randall J. Charbeneau
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
This compilation of papers presents an international survey of contemporary issues related to groundwater management, and the current and emerging technologies involved. Modeling and case studies are provided, as topics range from groundwater/surface interactions to contaminated site remediation, multiphase flow, transboundary groundwater issues, and bioremediation. Geographic information systems, wellhead protection, agricultural contamination, and aquifer storage and recovery are also addressed. Specific papers examine the quantification, characterization, and treatment options of landfill leachate; irrigation, geology, and wetlands in semi-arid regions; remediation of contaminated aquifers with reclaimed sewage water; minimum cost design of a funnel-and-gate system; lake and surficial aquifer interaction; and evaluation of induced infiltration in glacial drift aquifers.

International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251091870
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 37
Book Description
The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a "deep" Alternative
Author: Claudia von Werlhof
Publisher: Beiträge zur Dissidenz
ISBN: 9783631615522
Category : Capitalism
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of «Critical Theory of Patriarchy» explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have «replaced» matriarchies and nature itself by a «progressive» counter-world of «capital». This transformation characterizes «capitalist patriarchy» including «socialism». Its demise is due to the «alchemical» destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as «creation». This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new «military alchemy», treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the «Planetary Movement for Mother Earth».
