Kennedy space centre: launch<\/p>\n
Majora<\/p>\n
\u201cU have to look outside, to look inside\u201d
\nEleanor Roosevelt: if substitute to petrol was to be found, it will be, because it was done in past, 1948<\/p>\n
South Bronx poorest district
\nWorld\u2019s largest food distribution centre<\/p>\n
Less trees, parks that most places in the country<\/p>\n
Lungs are linked to brain: proximity to fossil fuel emission source and poor intelligence
\nWe do things not bec these are easy, but because these are difficult<\/p>\n
We should not use the term waste water, we cant waste people any more, it is a process which is not productive<\/p>\n
Peter gleick: pacific instt<\/p>\n
Solving water problems solves education, health and food problems,
\nPost apartheid program: working for water, removing alien vegetation from watershed, restored ecosystems, gave work, restored flows, hugely successful program;<\/p>\n
We cant forget that technology has unintended consequences: poor water quality; clean ground water, millions of bore water to reach cleaner ground water because surface water was bad, that lead to arsenic problem;<\/p>\n
Water weirdos: some solutions violate physics laws and some violate social and or institutional laws<\/p>\n
We need to rethink choices we had rejected in past<\/p>\n
Mark Tonkin:<\/p>\n
Dutyion membrane; absorbs water, plants can be grown from sea water without desalination, put salt water inside these pipes and only vapor of pure water comes out;
\n70 per cent of all fresh water goes to irrigate crops<\/p>\n
What are the limits of the technology:
\nSea water was 35k ppm salt
\nWater being used was 25kppm
\nSettlement tank:
\nNo power, only gravity==========================trenching between trees\u2014making plant work for water;<\/p>\n
Demand for salt: heat is stored in molten salt: <\/p>\n
Water testing:<\/p>\n
Mark sobsey
\nFilm: inoculate the sample, culture the bacteria: grow the bact in bottle, let it grow, colour change, no quantification, but presence is told;<\/p>\n
Absorbent pads for water testing:
\nChromegenic agents for testing fecal bacteria;<\/p>\n
No water testing facility in ketrina in usa and also in Haiti<\/p>\n
Ashok gadgil:
\nShallow handpumps: arsenic pollution
\n140 million people are exposed to arsenic pollution<\/p>\n
Arsenic binds to iron electrodes;<\/p>\n
Andrew tinka:<\/p>\n
Sensors for water quality: rivers, install sensors at a place in river and then monitor the water quality<\/p>\n
Innovation is to have floating water sensor<\/p>\n
Gps laoded sensor records watr quality along with gps value<\/p>\n
Traffic map for water <\/p>\n
2 parts per thousand of salt, this is ok for rice<\/p>\n
Young salmon tok wrong turn, went toward
\n Delta
\nWhy was salmon gong down the wrong direction?
\nSensor with fish behaviour may be floated and then one coul see why the fish take wrong direction
\nEmergency response systems floating sensors<\/p>\n
One drop: liliana peresa<\/p>\n
Nicaragua, ivania: did not have access to safe water
\nTechnical, education and micro credit: tripod approach
\nFamily garden
\nDrip, roof top water harvest<\/p>\n
Floating sensor: Andrew tinka<\/p>\n
Seeds from different catchments may enter the water stream and then grow in the cana bed and damage it, floating sensor will tell us where
\nVectors movement along water<\/p>\n
Nitrate flow form farms to canal
\nHigh cost sensor that moves,
\nNew type of business model for monitoring the effluents<\/p>\n
Ideal conditions for fish breeding
\nWetland health
\nLow cost nitrate sensor
\nNavy
\nRegulatory agencies
\nNon point becomes the point pollution
\n72 hours
\nTurbine at the bottom
\nDispenser of chemicals, dyes, to measure the dynamic nature of river, or its properties, various reactions could be measured through release of the small substances<\/p>\n
Aquifer by aquifer value of water quality yin deep bores<\/p>\n
Air column at different heights and width<\/p>\n
Ashok <\/p>\n
Mark sobsey<\/p>\n
Postage stamp
\nMail in absorbent pad
\nCamera based diagnostic
\nIdex labs in milk
\n640 20 camera<\/p>\n
Food processing industry may use this strip for quality assurance<\/p>\n
