Everyone, at some point in their life, has made a mistake. Sometimes we get lucky and only falter a little, making it through the problem relatively intact. Other times, we mess up a lot and have to fix what was damaged over a long period of time. However, the same is true for most, if not all cases—those who make the mistake learn from it. Often times, our failures teach us valuable lessons that we only gained because of the experience we gathered after messing up. I have personally achieved a wealth

a road drainage design manual in 2002 under a credit from the International Development Agency (IDA). This technical note has been prepared for Ethiopian Roads Authority (ERA) as a result of a brief review of the above manual published in 2002. The brief received from ERA required me to review the drainage design manual referred above and make comments and recommendations if any. In preparing this technical note, I have read the ERA drainage design manual-and various road drainage design
MICHAEL CAIN Michael Cain is an attorney for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) and he came to talk to us about the evolution of the public trust doctrine in Wisconsin dealing with navigable water and current development issues related to the public trust.

Acid Mine Drainage For hundreds, even thousands of years, human beings have mined for metals and stones, and with the advent of greater technology as well as greater needs, the demands for these resources continue to grow. While these resources benefit our lives in many ways, the effects of mining can be detrimental, and one such effect is the topic of this essay, acid mine drainage (A.M.D.). The causes of A.M.D. will be discussed, along with some of the physical and biological problems associated
According to the United Nations, there are 276 international rivers shared by two or more countries and 200 identified transboundary aquifers (UNESCO, 2013). Transboundary river basins cover 50% of Earth’s surface (excluding Antarctica) and channels 60% of global streamflow (Biswas, 1999). Some 40% of the world’s population live within transboundary lake and river basins and two billion people depend on over 300 transboundary aquifer systems (Du and Zhong, 2011). 8.1 TRANSBOUNDARY WATERS AND THE

Although it is essential for human survival, water is inherently unbalanced, as it is almost never evenly distributed among the population. Especially in developing countries, such as Tanzania, a lack of infrastructure with water can intensify existing conflicts and lead to unintended violence. A bad water controlling system can make it harder for water to be distributed among the different groups of people. This is clearly shown in the current conflicts occurring in Tanzania, in which farmers and

An essential element to support life is water. People, animals and plants all need water to live and to grow. Places in the world lack enough water to help people stay healthy.

Water Management is the activity of planning, developing, distributing and managing the use of water resources. The inter basin water transfer can be described as a man made conveyance scheme
