Developing Groundwater (Mīkstie vāki)

In many rural areas, groundwater is the only feasible way of providing safe, reliable water supplies. However, developing groundwater is not always straightforward. To meet the targets set out in the Millennium Development Goals, more attention needs to be paid to finding and developing groundwater in a sustainable, cost-effective and participatory manner. Developing Groundwater provides a user-friendly guide to this key topic, bringing together for the first time the wide range of techniques required to develop groundwater for community water supplies. This practical manual gives information on effective techniques for siting wells and boreholes, assessing the sustainability of sources, constructing and testing the yield of boreholes and wells, and monitoring groundwater quality. The authors set the technical aspects of rural water supply firmly in their socio-economic context, so that readers can take proper account of community concerns as well as purely engineering questions. Packed with helpful illustrations this book is indispensable for all rural water supply project staff in developing countries. Alan MacDonald, Jeff Davies and John Chilton are hydrogeologists at the British Geological Survey with more than 75 years' experience amongst them. They have worked extensively in Africa, Asia and the Pacific in partnership with government departments, NGOs, research institutes and rural communities. Much of their work has focussed on the practical issues of developing groundwater resources for rural water supply. Roger Calow is a water resource economist and policy specialist with the British Geological Survey, and has worked extensively in Africa, Asia and the Middle East on rural water supply and management projects.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/d4191055/developing-groundwater-alan-macdonald-9781853395963.jpg|9781853395963|Developing Groundwater : Paperback : ITDG Publishing : 9781853395963 : 20 May 1999 : This manual details techniques for siting wells and boreholes, assessing the sustainability of sources, constructing and testing the yield of them, monitoring groundw ...|new|1|1|1|29.95|0|GBP|Alan MacDonald|ITDG Publishing|20 May 1999|Water supply & treatment 9781853323225|The Human Factor|30.00|https://wordery.com/the-human-factor-dr-penelope-curtis-9781853323225||Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/14fbdf1a/the-human-factor-dr-penelope-curtis-9781853323225.jpg|9781853323225|The Human Factor : Hardback : Hayward Gallery Publishing : 9781853323225 : 01 Jun 2014|new|1|1|1|30|0|GBP|Dr. Penelope Curtis|Hayward Gallery Publishing|01 Jun 2014|Art & design styles: from c 1960 9781853396083|Small Customers, Big Market|19.95|https://wordery.com/small-customers-big-market-malcolm-harper-9781853396083|This book shows commercial bankers that they can profitably provide microfinance services to the poor. It illustrates, through the experience of particular banks, why banks have become involved and how they have made a success of their involvement. The eighteen case studies all show that banks can earn good profits at the same time as serving the needs of people who previously lacked access to financial services. The authors also demonstrate to foreign aid donors, policymakers, NGO staff and microfinance practitioners that it is often quicker, less expensive and more effective for micro-finance services to be provided by commercial banks than by specialist microfinance institutions.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/27e24a44/small-customers-big-market-malcolm-harper-9781853396083.jpg|9781853396083|Small Customers, Big Market : Paperback : ITDG Publishing : 9781853396083 : 20 May 1999 : This book shows commercial bankers that they can profitably provide microfinance services to the poor, and foreign aid donors, policymakers, NGO staff and microf ...|new|1|1|29|19.95|0|GBP|Malcolm Harper|ITDG Publishing|20 May 1999|Banking 9781853390852|Making Microplans|27.00|https://wordery.com/making-microplans-nabeel-hamdi-9781853390852|Microplanning is a community-based process which enables local people to prepare and implement programmes for settlement upgrading.

It embraces policies not only for localising the control of production and markets, but also for the Right to Food, people's access to and control over land, water and genetic resources, and for promoting the use of environmentally sustainable approaches to production. It addresses the current problems of hunger and malnutrition, as well as rural poverty, that have become a priority challenge for international policy. The latest FAO figures show the number of chronically hungry in developing countries has been increasing over the last decade at a rate of almost 5 million per year - from 800 million to 852 million. Yet the rules that govern food and agriculture at all levels - local, national and international - are designed a priori to facilitate not local production and consumption, but international trade. In this Practical Action Working Paper , Michael Windfuhr shows how the Food Sovereignty policy framework has developed to address this dilemma, what the basic assumptions are, analyses how Food Sovereignty relates to the current problems in rural and agricultural policies and discusses possible policy constraints to its adoption. What emerges is a persuasive and highly political argument for refocusing the control of food production and consumption within democratic processes rooted in localized food systems.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/ed5f2656/food-sovereignty-michael-windfuhr-9781853396106.jpg|9781853396106|Food Sovereignty : Paperback : ITDG Publishing : 9781853396106 : 20 May 1999 : In this Practical Action Working Paper , Michael Windfuhr shows how the Food Sovereignty policy framework has developed to address this dilemma, what the basic assumptions ...|new|1|1|999|9.95|0|GBP|Michael Windfuhr|ITDG Publishing|20 May 1999|Agriculture & related industries 9781853267826|The Holy Qur'an|5.53|https://wordery.com/the-holy-quran-abdullah-yusuf-ali-9781853267826|Translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an (also known as The Koran) is the sacred book of Islam. It is the word of God whose truth was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel over a period of 23 years. As it was revealed, so it was committed to memory by his companions, though written copies were also made by literate believers during the lifetime of the Prophet. The first full compilation was by Abu Bakar, the first Caliph, and it was then recompiled in the original dialect by the third Caliph Uthman, after the best reciters had fallen in battle. Muslims believe that the truths of The Holy Qur'an are fully and authentically revealed only in the original classical Arabic. However, as the influence of Islam grows and spreads to the modern world, it is recognised that translation is an important element in introducing and explaining Islam to a wider audience. This translation, by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, is considered to be the most faithful rendering available in English.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/ff2810b4/the-holy-quran-abdullah-yusuf-ali-9781853267826.jpg|9781853267826|The Holy Qur'an : Paperback : Wordsworth Editions Ltd : 9781853267826 : 11 Jun 1997 : The Holy Qur'an is the Word of God whose truth was revealed to Muhammad by the Angel Gabriel.

His poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, were universally admired as examples of great literature which could never be surpassed. In this study, Richard Jenkyns re-examines the two Homeric epics and the work that is perhaps their closest rival, the Aeneid of Virgil. A wide range of topics is covered, including chapters on heroism and tragedy in the Iliad, morality in the Odyssey and Virgil's skilful reworking of elements from the two earlier epics. Essential reading for those who are unfamiliar with the works of Homer and Virgil, the author's lively and provocative approach will also appeal to more experienced scholars of classical literature.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/6eb5e942/classical-epic-richard-jenkyns-9781853991332.jpg|9781853991332|Classical Epic : Paperback : Bristol Classical Press : 9781853991332 : 01 Jan 1998 : In the ancient world Homer was recognised as the fountainhead of culture.
