Ecology Ecosystems, Hydrology, Soil Sciences

(e) evaluate the importance of different biotope elements for the riverine ecology and propose measures for improving the aquatic and littoral ecological conditions.

Draft article 12 obliges aquifer States to protect and preserve ecosystems inside aquifers as well as ecosystems outside aquifers, dependent on the aquifers.

C. Biological diversity of inland water ecosystems

Geographic, hydrographic, hydrological, hydrogeological, climatic, ecological, and other natural features

Water quality, ecosystem management and disaster prevention

Aquifer States shall protect and preserve ecosystems within a transboundary aquifer or aquifer system.

Freshwater quality depends on water related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands and soils, all of which play an essential role in regulating flows and protecting water quality.

Hydropower developments, and large dams and their resulting reservoirs in particular, can have significant impacts on ecosystems.

We could drive it back to its ecological fundamentals to the hills, to the streams, to the basic hydrology and shoreline, to the beaches, the basic aspects that make the ecological landscape.

(a) Geographic, hydrographic, hydrological, climatic, ecological and other factors of a natural character

They are staving off the aquatic theory to protect a vacuum.

What's the matter? What's happened. What is it?

States shall take all appropriate measures to protect the ecological integrity necessary to sustain ecosystems dependent on particular waters.

We fundamentally depend on natural ecosystems and resources provided by watersheds and aquifers, coastal and marine ecosystems, mountains, forests, soils and the atmosphere.

High calibre research on, for example, climate change impacts on terrestrial ecosystems are being carried out by such world standard institutions as the Institute of Global Climate and Ecology.

So, this is frozen water.

The importance of sanitation to effective management of water resources and protection of water related ecosystems was emphasized.

(b) To ensure that transboundary waters are used with the aim of ecologically sound and rational water management, conservation of water resources and environmental protection

The term ecosystem is more precise than the concept environment surrounding aquifers .

The programme consists primarily of projects on aquatic ecosystem assessment and protection, water and waste water treatment and water related human health impact.

So rainfall cycle and water regulation by rainforests at an ecosystem level.

The programme is having positive impacts on the ground through three key water and sanitation initiatives the Community Water Initiative, ecological sanitation programmes and the international network for capacity building in integrated water resources management (Cap Net), the UNDP flagship programme for capacity building.

Ecosystem health is critical to the quantity and quality of water supply.

a) maintain water based essential ecological processes as well as to protect human health against pollutants and water borne diseases,

By modifying the hydrological regime of a river, dams can alter local climatic conditions and disrupt ecosystems.

Watercourse States shall, individually and, where appropriate, jointly, protect and preserve the ecosystems of international watercourses.

We've returned more than four billion gallons of water to degraded ecosystems.

Forests carry out important ecological functions which stabilize soils and help protect water resources.

A slowing down of the rate of growth of the average wage to a level nearing the dynamics of living costs.

Increasing water use and redistribution of freshwater flows, human induced land and ecosystems changes, pollution, over fishing, invasive species combined with natural processes have resulted in dramatic and sometimes extraordinary changes in lake ecosystems.

7.4 States should prevent and progressively reduce contamination of watersheds and aquatic ecosystems by substances such as bacterial pathogens and chemical pollutants.

Cities across the world have traditionally drawn resources from forests, rangelands, farmlands, watersheds or aquatic ecosystems outside their boundaries.

Now we had stuff inside Biosphere to keep ourselves clean, but nothing with perfume.

A guy named Bruce Rosner looked at the tardigrade which dries out completely, and yet stays alive for months and months and months, and is able to regenerate itself.

ABDEROHAMAN Hassan M Ecology Ecosystems

Efforts are being made to introduce improvements in cement and steel production to ensure that these processes are ecologically and environmentally friendly.

Commercializing seedling raising was suggested by the Asia Pacific group, along with creating sustainable employment opportunities, and valuing ecosystem services for hydro power and ecotourism.

Water is the key to life, but in frozen form, it is a latent force.

They shall also ensure adequate quality and sufficient quantity of discharge water to protect and preserve outside ecosystems dependent on the aquifer or aquifer system.

Without access to fertile land, uncontaminated water and a healthy biological ecosystem, farmers' livelihood is in danger.

(e) marine environment includes the physical, chemical, geological and biological components, conditions and factors which interact and determine the productivity, state, condition and quality of the marine ecosystem, the waters of the seas and oceans and the airspace above those waters, as well as the seabed and ocean floor and subsoil thereof

State Parties shall, individually and, where appropriate, jointly, protect and preserve the ecosystems of a shared watercourse.

(xiii) Article 22 of the International Law Association Berlin Rules on Water Resources, 2004, Ecological integrity

Air pollution also adversely affects natural ecosystems, for instance, through damage to plant growth, acidification of waterways, accumulation of mercury in the food chain and eutrophication of coastal ecosystems, all leading to impacts on agriculture, fisheries, forests and a host of ecosystems services upon which all life depends.
