November-December 1998 Regional Water Issues Search Updated 12 October, 2003 Regional Water Issues From Acclimations , November-December 1998 Newsletter of the US National Assessment of the Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change The first workshop of the water resources sector was held from September 14-16, 1998, in West Palm Beach, Florida. The workshop summarized and prioritized water resources issues from the regions and other sectors in the assessment. Regional issues identified at the workshop included: Central Great Plains: The Central Great Plains rely on water imported to the region. The main transbasin water diversions are the tunnels drilled through the Rockies to bring supplies of water from the Colorado River to the Great Plains. Irrigated agriculture is a main end use in this region, and this demand is increasing (although there are some shifts underway from agriculture to urban development). The biggest regional issue is the lack of surplus capacity in regional water supplies. For example, water from the Arkansas River serves multiple uses as it passes through the different states. The resulting conflicts over allocation of limited groundwater and surface water supplies have led to a number of lawsuits in the region.

62. The Monterey Bay Regional Studies Program MBRS sponsors regular informal seminars to discuss regional environmental issues. These include conservation, ecology, and land use; http://www2.ucsc.edu/mbrs/

Using an interdisciplinary approach, faculty and graduate students in the natural and social sciences are working together to understand the dynamic processes and tensions of the Monterey Bay region - an understanding that can be extended to worldwide environmental and social change and development. Interactions in Coastal Environments Coastal environments are zones of interaction involving terrestrial and marine habitats, land-sea-air processes, and human activities. The MBRS program gives researchers the opportunity for interdisciplinary perspective, by involving other regional research and educational institutions, social and political organizations, and industry. The program's emphasis, "Bi-directional Interactions in Coastal Environments," combined with the regional approach, promotes focused collaborative work across varied research traditions. Encouraging a Regional Discussion MBRS sponsors regular informal seminars to discuss regional environmental issues. Recent topics have included strategies for university-industry interactions and wetland conservation, and the role of refugia in protecting important fisheries. In an ongoing effort to build partnerships with other institutions, MBRS presents public symposia, "Challenges for the Monterey Bay Region." A symposium on fisheries and climate change brought scholars from throughout the United States to discuss studies of fisheries biology and the legal history of fisheries organizations. A planned symposium will address the use of fire in management of the maritime chaparral at Fort Ord, relating issues in conservation biology to questions of land management and military base conversion.

ZNet Top Debate Top Albert Replies 1 Staudenmaier Rejoins 1 ... Albert Replies 3 The World We Envision For purposes of exploration and debate with Parecon's Michael Albert By Peter Staudenmaier The world we envision is one of adventure and possibility, of radically new relationships and potential forms of social and individual life that are difficult to imagine, much less describe, from the perspective of the present. Most of what will happen in a social-ecological future, whether at an environmental, personal, or communal level, will be spontaneous and creative – and these are things we can neither plan nor propose nor predict. Nevertheless, such spontaneous and creative unfolding of potentials will require both an institutional framework and an ethical vision if they are to become more than mere dreams. Thus we must turn our attention to the social structures that might make free nature and a free society more likely. Social ecologists work toward a society structured around freedom, cooperation, and ecological and social diversity. Our vision of a better world draws on the practical proposals and utopian hopes raised throughout history by emancipatory movements from below. At the center of our vision of free communities is

URL: http://www.consecol.org/vol1/iss2/art3/ Editorial Regional Responses to Global Change C. S. Holling , Editor-in-Chief Department of Zoology, University of Florida This second issue of Conservation Ecology begins a Special Focus on global climate change. This Special Focus initiates a series of occasional experiments to explore the interactive potential of an electronic journal. The overall focus of these experiments is the present and emerging class of global issues that present novel challenges to the integrity of ecosystems and regional economies. The consequences of biodiversity loss, emergence of novel diseases, and interhemispheric disruption of animal migration are examples. Global climate change, the most obvious current issue, is emphasized in this Special Focus. Four papers launch this experiment, two to be published in this issue of Conservation Ecology and two to be published in the future. Each paper opens a key avenue of understanding and uncertainty. They are intended to initiate a process that will draw upon the knowledge and experience of the

Fabricators interested in expanding or improving their existing Washington State operations may also find this information useful. The Permitting Process To operate in Washington you will need to obtain several environmental permits and approvals. The activities associated with obtaining permits and approvals (for example, working with state and local permitting staff, filling out applications, reviewing applications, etc.) are referred to as the "permitting process." How do I begin the permitting process? You will need to have selected at least one possible location for your facility before beginning the permitting process. Availability of water and ability to discharge process wastewater are dependent upon location. Therefore, before you make a final decision on where to locate your facility: Make certain that you can obtain the process water you need.

SENTIDO GLOBAL TOPICAL UPDATES ALSO VISIT BONN CONFERENCE CALLS FOR WORLDWIDE COMMITMENT TO RENEWABLE RESOURCES 31 May 2004 The Renewables 2004 global conference in Bonn, Germany, has resulted in recommendations for more aggressive research and development of renewable energy resources. Citing persistent unrest in oil rich countries, the negative environmental impact of fossil fuels, along with soaring prices and the economic problems associated with any finite resource, the conference noted the benefits to economic and political security of using resources that are local, clean and renewable. Renewable resources were also put forth as a solution to poverty and marginalization: rural communities have historically been deprived of the resources of urban centers, and as many as 2 billion people worldwide still have no access to electricity. Developing countries are beginning to see the economic and political benefits of renewable resources. Norbert Gorißen, head international affairs for Germany's Environmental Ministry, is quoted by Deutsche Welle, saying: "many countries - whether it's Thailand, China, Cambodia and the Philippines - already have their individual programs".

INTRODUCTION Spatial variability in ecosystem structure and function is profoundly evident at landscape to regional and global scales. Ecosystem ecologists have long used this spatial variability to explain the controls over ecosystem structure and function, by correlating climatic factors and other environmental factors with plant species assemblages (Box 1996, Epstein et al. 1996), primary production (Lieth 1975, Lauenroth 1979, Meentemeyer 1984), litter decomposition (Meentemeyer et al. 1982), soil organic matter reserves (Jenny 1980, Burke et al. 1989), carbon dioxide flux (Box and Meentemeyer 1993), and trace gas flux (Matson and Vitousek 1987). In addition to enhancing our understanding of what causes variability in ecosystems, these relationships are crucial for assessing the potential responses to global climatic change, and are thus incorporated into statistical and simulation models.
