CSE
|
| Summary/Abstract |
Faecal Attraction is the latest film from CSE which is about the absurd relationship between rich people's shit and poor people's water. Most rivers in India have turned into sewage canals. The stretches passing through cities are the worst off. What the urban middle class is most bothered about is the lost beauty of these rivers. So urban authorities evict poor people living in 'illegal' shanties by the rivers or they build expensive sewage treatment plants to clean the rivers. But nothing works. This comes at a cost. Poor people get very little water, mostly unsafe, and pay more for it in the bargain. They do not get sanitation cover and pay a heavy price in terms of health.

| Summary/Abstract |
Irena Salina's award-winning documentary examines the conflict of the global water crisis. Most of us turn on the tap, and expect it to flow: water. But in our changing world, water has become one of the hottest commodities, an international business to the tune of $425 billion a year and growing, at the cost of human rights and ecological good sense. Scientists and activists reveal the extent of the damage so far. Our world is becoming a place where corporate interests take ownership of the very substance that sustains all life. Is water for people, or for profit? Best Documentary winner of the 2008 Vail Film Festival, and nominated for the 2008 Sundance Jury Prize.

Exploring the ocean

This volume investigates myths about the ocean, our desire to explore and improve, and asks what damage human exploration is having on the oceans.Uses of the Ocean has answers to questions such as:
* Who were Jason and the Argonauts?
* What ocean did Vasco Da Gama explore?
* What happens when an oil tanker spills into the ocean?

| Summary/Abstract |
Provides an eye-opening account of how we are using, misusing, and abusing our planet's most vital resource.

| Contents |
The where, what, and how much of the water world
Water in peril -
Is the crisis looming, or has it already loomed?
The natural dispensation -
How much water is there, who's running out?
Water in history -
Some things never change: How humans have always discovered, diverted, accumulated, regulated, hoarded, and misused water
Remaking the water world
Climate, weather, and water -
Are we changing the first, and will changes in the other two necessarily follow?
Unnatural selection -
Contamination, degradation, pollution, and other human gifts to the hydrosphere
The Aral sea -
An object lesson in the principle of unforeseen consequences
To give a Dam -
Dams are clean, safe, and store waterfor use in bad years, so why have they suddenly become anathema?
The problem with irrigation -
Irrigated lands are shrinking, and irrigation is joining dams on an ecologist's hit list. Why?
Shrinking aquifiers -
If the water mines ever run out, what then?
The reengineered river -
If you turn a river into a sewer, you can turn it back into a river again
The politics of water
The Middle East -
If the water burden really is a zero-sum game, how do we get past the arithmetic?
The Tigris-Euphrates system -
Shoot an arrow of peace into the air, and get a quiverful of suspicions and paranoia in return
The Nile -
With Egypt adding another million people every nine months, demand is already in critical conflict with supply. Another zero-sum game?
The United States and its neighbors -
In the menage a trois of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, who is the seducer and who the seducee?
The Chinese Dilemma -
China is not running out of wate, except in places where water is needed most
What is to be done?
Solutions and manifestos -
If you're short of water, especially clean water, the choices are conservation, technological invention, or the politics of violence

Excerpts from experts
|
| Summary/Abstract |
We could not live without water. Almost two-thirds of our body weight is water. We rely on it to keep ourselves clean, to keep our bodies nourished, and to get rid of waste. But water can also carry deadly germs and poisons. One of the greatest challenges for scientists and governments today is to make sure that everyone has access to the clean, safe water that they need.
