Improving water supply for irrigable farming and livestock purposes in communities in Africa is an increasingly popular approach for community-based adaptation interventions. A widespread intervention is the construction of agro-pastoral dams and irrigation schemes in traditionally pastoral communities that face a drying climate. Taking the Maji Moto Maasai community in southern Kenya as a case study, this article demonstrates that water access inequality can lead to a breakdown of pre-existing social capital and former pastoral cooperative structures within a community. When such interventions trigger new water uses, such as farming in former pastoral landscapes, there are no traditional customary institutional structures in place to manage the new water resource. The resulting easily corruptible local water management institutions are a main consolidator of water access inequalities for intervention beneficiaries, where socio-economic standing often determines benefits from interventions. Ultimately, technological adaptation interventions such as agro-pastoral dams may result in tensions and a high fragmentation of adaptive capacity within target communities.

The rapid growth of industry has resulted in increased severity of water scarcity in the Eastern region of Thailand over the past decade. The assessment of water use by industrial manufacturing processes located in areas experiencing water stress is necessary to ensure a sustainable water resources management. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the use of life cycle assessment as a tool for assessing water use in an industrial manufacturing process. A case study of S-PVC resin manufacturing process located in Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate, Rayong province, Thailand, is presented. The studying results indicate that the amount of water used to produce 1 Kg of S-PVC resin is 14.72 liters, of which 6.22 liters are withdrawn from local water resources. Additionally, the direct and indirect water use along the production supply chain is accounted for in a streamlined life cycle assessment.

Water valuation is needed to enable sound and well-informed decisions on the allocation and management of water resources. The existing methods for water valuation have an important potential and need to be further developed. Practical tools are especially urgently needed to aid implementation on the ground. There is a need to expand the scope of existing water valuation methods beyond the focus on economic values to also include social and environmental values. Also, water valuation needs to fit the constraints of data availability and expertise that are typically found in practice and should be stakeholder driven, addressing values that are of relevance to local stakeholders. This paper proposes a stakeholder-driven approach to water valuation, based on the use of different indicators to produce a mosaic of values that support water resources management by local stakeholders. The use of this approach is illustrated by a case study in Tanzania.

AbstractGeostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-16 (GOES-16) was launched into geostationary orbit in late 2016 and began providing unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution imagery early in 2017. Its Advanced Baseline Imager has additional spectral bands including two in the “clear” window and “dirty window” portion of the infrared spectrum, and the difference of these two bands, sometimes called the split window difference, provides unique information about low-level water vapor. Under certain conditions, low-level convergence along a boundary can cause local water vapor pooling, and the signal of this pooling can sometimes be detected by GOES-16 prior to any cloud formation. This case study from 15 June 2017 illustrates how the technique might be used in an operational forecast setting. A boundary in western Kansas was detected using the split window difference more than 2 h before the first cloud formed.

The objectives of this study are as follows: 1) to study the expectation of the capabilities and efficiencies of human resource executive officer at the top management level of local administrative organizations and 2) to explore the guidelines for the development of the capabilities and efficiencies of the human resource executive officers at local administrative organizations. This study uses both quantitative and qualitative methods. The study found that in every organization, the HR department has the same job descriptions, such as HR planning, wage and salary evaluation, handling complaints from employees, managing the welfare of and benefits for employees, job orientation, training and development, work data and statistical records, work assessment, writing job descriptions, consulting, managing the relationship between the employer and the employees, and the development of job efficiencies. The first hypothesis testing shows that the top management level at various-sized local administrative offices has the same expectations with respect to the characteristics of human resource executive officers. The second hypothesis testing shows that the top management level at various-sized local administrative offices have the same expectations with respect to the capabilities and efficiencies of human resource executive officers. Furthermore, according to the guidelines for the development of capabilities and efficiencies of human resource executive officers at local administrative organizations, the HR executive officer must act as follows: 1) know the business orientation; 2) act as a change agent; 3) have leadership; 4) act like an advocate; and 5) function as an HR expert.

Abstract Wastewater treatment's primary purpose is to protect surface water quality, aquatic life, beneficial and recreational uses of waterways, and primarily comply with local water emission standards. Lately, additional requirements were added for these facilities, concerning minimization of a series of sidestream environmental impacts (i.e., odours, generated waste by-products, etc.), air emissions, including CO2, methane and nitrogen greenhouse gases (GHGs), and mitigation of various other likely impacts resulting from energy and chemical use in treatment processes. This paper describes a case study in Northern Europe, where critical analysis of an industrial wastewater treatment plant's present conditions, during an evaluation of upgrade possibilities to improve regulatory compliance, led to a sustainable intervention proposal. According to the formulated proposal, process improvement, energy recovery, and overall savings and GHG emissions reduction could be simultaneously achieved with a series of relatively simple interventions.
