Deforestation is a critical environmental issue that poses significant threats to biodiversity, climate stability, and the livelihoods of communities worldwide. One of the factors contributing to deforestation is the demand for charcoal, a widely used fuel source in many developing countries. However, charcoal making machines offer innovative solutions that can help mitigate the impact of ...

Dam Construction and History Testalinden Dam was constructed in the 1930s at the headwaters of Testalinden Creek at 1,810 m elevation near the summit of Mount Kobau, approximately 1,500 m above the Okanagan River valley below (see figures). The 2.5 m high dam was constructed from silty-sand and glacial till using horses and a Fresno scraper. There was no engineering design or supervision during ...
The term “regenerative agriculture” is gaining prominence in climate-related conversations. It dates back to the 1980s when Robert Rodale coined the term, “regenerative organic agriculture” as way to express that organic should be more than simply avoiding chemical inputs. The term has been defined and re-defined by many different authors, sometimes describing very ...

In August 2019, the media headlines shared the news on the unprecedented fires taking place in South America. It is estimated that about 745,000 hectares of the Amazon forest have been destroyed. When the world is on its quest to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this kind of news trigger disbelief, anger and realization that unfortunately not all of us share the same vision of ...

Pretreatment processes in water treatment systems are often crucial to maintaining efficiency and longevity of the downstream equipment, such as membrane filtration. Many systems incorporate a coagulation step that will encourage small suspended solids to aggregate and fall out of solution. By eliminating the larger particles in the solution, filtration membranes won’t foul, tear or clog ...
Waterways in the Cantareira forest north of São Paulo form part of the cities natural water infrastructure. Riparian forests are seen as natural water infrastructure In early 2018, Cape Town, South Africa, averted a potential “Day Zero” crisis, that is, the day that taps would have gone dry. This drew international media attention, but in 2014 a modern city of 11 million ...
Conversion of boreal forest into agricultural land is likely to occur due to the shift of climatic zones and increasing food demand. However, any land conversion will affect the water balance and hence solute fluxes within the soil column and connected ecosystems. Understanding the consequences of land conversion on soil hydrology is essential to support an economically viable agriculture ...
Forests worldwide are at increased risk of death from drought, which is occurring more frequently and are more severe, according to researchers at the University of Stirling in Scotland. Sarah Greenwood, a postdoctoral researcher in the University of Stirling’s Faculty of Natural Sciences, said: We can see that the death of trees caused by drought is consistent across different ...
Introduction Located on the border of California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe (the Lake) is the largest alpine lake in North America. It is known for its scenic beauty and outstanding lake clarity. However, the clarity of the Lake has been declining since the mid-1960s because of the deposition of fine particles and nutrients from urban runoff and the growth of aquatic organisms that feed off the ...

Global warming is a topic that has received much attention in the media, especially during the hot days of summer. The process by which carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere prevents the escape of thermal energy into outer space is known as the greenhouse effect. The higher the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere the less thermal energy that can escape thus an increasing global temperature. ...
Good weather may have kept the haze away from Singapore for now, but it is unlikely that the seasonal plague is gone for good. Plumes of smoke haze have clouded Singapore’s skies almost every year from as far back as the 1960s, with the first haze episode reported on Oct 19, 1961. We look back at 55 years of haze history: 1. When it all started A heavy haze hanging over Orchard Road on ...
“Sustainability” is a major buzzword in the energy sector. In the face of climate change, national governments and global organizations like the United Nations continue to encourage the use of sustainable energy sources. In this blog, we’ll examine what makes biomass sustainable, specifically plant-derived biomass like wood pellets. Sustainable Resources: Wood Versus Fossil ...
Environmental credit stacking will be an important factor for forestland owners to consider as they attempt to generate adequate cash flow for their properties, and as the regulated carbon market grows. ...
The world is about to go on a carbon diet. It won't be easy - or cheap. Nearly 200 nations across the world on Saturday approved a first-of-its-kind universal agreement to wean Earth off fossil fuels and slow global warming, patting themselves on the back for showing such resolve. On Sunday morning, like for many first day dieters, the reality sets in. The numbers - like calorie limits and ...
