Constructed and Floating Wetlands for Sustainable Water Reclamation

Constructed wetland (CW) is a popular sustainable best management practice for treating different wastewaters. While there are many articles on the removal of pollutants from different wastewaters, a comprehensive and critical review on the removal of pollutants other than nutrients that occur in agricultural field runoff and wastewater from animal facilities, including pesticides, insectic…

Considerations with water for turfgrass in arid environments

Golf course managers in arid environments must manage every drop of water like it is their last. Water restrictions continue to tighten and water costs are increasing exponentially in many areas

Chapter The North-east Atlantic Margin

The Irish–Scottish margin is geologically and oceanographically heterogeneous. Source waters of subpolar and subtropical origin interact with banks, seamounts, submarine canyon systems, escarpments, and mound provinces resulting in rich and diverse benthic communities that are influenced by local and regional hydrodynamics (e.g., internal waves, tides, and local turbulence). Reef habitats for…

Chapter Sugar Beet Tolerance to Drought: Physiological and Molecular Aspects

Drought often reduces sugar beet yield in the Balkan agroecological region. Climate forecasts indicate that this negative trend of drought periods will continue. Tolerance to drought is a complex trait, which comprises involvement of both physiological and molecular mechanisms in plants. This research was conducted on 11 sugar beet genotypes, which showed different tolerance to drought in the f…

Chapter Strengths and Weaknesses for Climate Change: Adaptation in Water Gove…

This chapter comparatively analyses the policy and governance contexts of six European regions that are affected by different hydrological impacts of climate change. The results demonstrate that a major governance strength across regions lies in the organization of management capacities to deal with existing water-related risks. For example, the Dutch context focuses on water safety, Cyprus has…

Beyond Waters Archaeology and Environmental History of the Amazonian Inland

This book is one of the outcomes of the project Cultivated Wilderness: Socio-economic development and environmental change in pre-Columbian Amazonia (http://www.cultivated-wilderness.org/). The project has particularly focused on the previously relatively unknown prehistory of the Amazonian hinterland. Our work has revealed that pre-Columbian settlements in the Santarém region in the State of …

Beyond Waters

Ethnohistorical sources indicate that the Tapajó occupied a large area on the lower Amazon in the 16th century, the present day location of the city of Santarém. Curt Nimuendaju found 41 archaeological sites containing the same types of artefacts that were also found in the hinterland in the 1920s, attesting that the Tapajó dominated a much larger territory
