 The Giants of Water- Wolfgang Harrer, 12-12-02 Although only about 5% of the world's water resources are privatized, this is up from practically nothing only ten years ago, and the scale of this transfer of ownership is huge. World water withdrawals annually run a whopping 3,300 cubic kilometers, and usage is highly correlated to income. As the world industrializes, water withdrawals will increase far beyond current levels... |
 What Shortage - Water Markets Increase Supply- Terry L. Anderson, 11-01-02 California's water programs don't work well because they are predicated on politics, not market factors. Just when El Nino rains were sending rivers over their banks, the Resources Agency of California was predicting statewide shortages. Doomsday predictions are typical of such reports as are the calls for bureaucratic planning to correct the problem. Neither the predictions nor more bureaucracy would be necessary if the plan put more emphasis on water markets.... |
 Silicon ValleyRunning out of Water? - Wolfgang Harrer, 10-15-02 The Silicon Valley is considered the birthplace of the information age, a place where billion-dollar companies have flourished independent of raw material inputs such as steel or petroleum. Recently, however, it has gotten a drastic sense of its own dependence on natural raw materials, because more than in any other major high-tech regions of the world, the Valley is running out of water... |
 Serious Megawatts- Gordon Feller, 10-02-02 Just as hybrid engines can stretch a gallon of gas, hybrid power plants can stretch their own supply of fossil fuels. In India, a huge new power station using hybrid systems is close to breaking ground in the sunny state of Rajasthan. This fossil fuel/ solar hybrid will produce 140 megawatts of electric power, with 40 of those megawatts being produced from a field of solar thermal parabolic troughs... |
 Earth Shakin' Technology- Sabrina Juarez, 7-03-02 As often as not, technology and free-enterprise are forces that can save the environment. A perfect example is Jonathan Brewer's company EarthWorks Environmental, with a technology that transforms polluted soil into soil clean enough to grow crops. But delivering a technological solution is only the beginning of the fight... |
 Spitting in the WindCombatting Desertification in India - Brook Bhagat, 4-22-02 The Thar Desert, also known as the Great Indian Desert, covers 77,000 square miles of Pakistan and Rajasthan, the westernmost state of India. It is characterized by its massive rolling sand dunes, extreme heat, dust storms and dust-raising winds, often blowing winds with velocities... |
 Ecology of the Parvati Valley - Dharma Singh, 4-02-02 The Himalayan range is one of the most spectacular wonders of India. In recent years, the Himalayas have become the focus of much environmental concern. In terms of bio-diversity, the Kanawar wildlife sanctuary located in Parvati valley of Kullu district is worthy of close attention.... |
 Racing Towards the Car of the Future- Sabrina Juarez, 2-07-02 Maybe you've been driving down the road, minding your own business, when all of a sudden the car next to you catches your eye. It looks almost like a normal car, but there's something not quite normal about it. Its sleek, and rather futuristic. You think to yourself, "Hey, that must be one of those new vehicles they've come out with...a hybrid or something... |
 Fuel Stoves: Out of the Woodshed - Erin Gibson, 3-03-02 The thousands of miles between tropical rainforests and activists in developed nations present a problem for conservation efforts. Implementing projects in far-flung areas becomes even more challenging when the people have different cultures and economic resources ... |
