Pollution, habitat destruction and overfishing take a serious toll on our oceans, so NRDC works to preserve and restore the rich diversity of ocean life and the quality of coastal waters. Our widely covered beach-pollution research has prompted many states to clean up their beaches. We work to stop destructive fishing methods, end overfishing, rebuild fish populations, and reduce the tonnage of fish caught accidentally and thrown away dead. We helped create networks of fully protected marine reserves off the California and Florida coasts, and are pressing for more elsewhere. Finally, we work to ban offshore drilling in coastal areas, while promoting sound coastal zone management.

Green Development Consultants, L.L.C. GDC, L.L.C., specializes in designing and monitoring low-impact development alternatives for new or retrofit developments. We also provide consultation to local, state, and federal commissions and agencies on land development activities and preservation of existing water resources. Additionally, GDC provides a suite of environmental related services. We have comprehensive experience in working with commercial and residential developers, engineers, and town agencies in selecting low-impact development practices that address water quality and quantity issues. Uses of low-impact development alternatives (LIDAs) are economical and environmentally friendly. Bio-retention gardens treat surface water runoff from parking lots, sidewalks, roofs, etc at a fraction of the cost of traditional practices. Recharging groundwater supplies, maintaining municipal water supplies and base flows in streams, minimizing land disturbance, and working with existing drainage patterns all help to preserve valuable resources that might otherwise be lost. FACT: Using LIDAs can save an estimated $6,000.00 per acre of land developed. (Source: Pierce County, WA, March 2001)

About ERT ERT in the News ERT Publications Board and Staff ... Home ERT Programs What is ERT? ERT (The Environmental Resources Trust, Inc.) is a Washington, DC-based, non-profit organization that pioneers the use of market forces to protect and improve the global environment. Founded in 1996, ERT is harnessing the power of markets to address the challenges of tempering climate change, securing clean and reliable power, and encouraging environmentally beneficial land use. ERT has developed three focused programs to accomplish its mission. ERT's GHG Registry SM records validated greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions profiles with the aim of creating a market that will enable efficient emissions reductions. The EcoPower SM Program catalyzes the market for clean energy by substantiating and marketing blocks of power that include new renewable sources of energy and have significantly reduced environmental impacts. ERT's EcoLands SM Program facilitates deals that enable and encourage landowners to make environmentally beneficial land use decisions. ERT's funding is derived both from philanthropic contributions and fee-for-service revenues. ERT is

175. Improvement Of The Drinking Water Supply For The Poor Population Of The Paraguay Article by The Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural resources. http://www.bgr.de/b1hydro/fachbeitraege/d199901/e_chaco.htm

Sectoral Task Water Improvement of the drinking water supply for the poor population of the Paraguayan Chaco Sources of drinking water are scarce in the thinly populated Paraguayan Chaco. Most of the groundwater is saline, there are no permanent streams or lakes. Drinking water is traditionally obtained by collecting rain water from roofs and storage in cisterns, collecting surface runoff in artificial basins (tajamars) (Fig. 1), and abstraction from small, local fresh water occurrences. In the Technical Cooperation project "Exploration and Development of Groundwater Resources in the Western Part of Paraguay", the results of hydrogeological exploration are used to improve the supply of drinking water to the Indian and Campesino communities. Simple methods adapted to the local conditions are used for the water supply systems. The water is pumped using windmills (Fig. 2). The village communities are fully integrated into the planning and construction activities of the project. Much of the work is done by the local people (Fig. 3). For this reason, the population identify with the project and learn the skills and techniques needed to operate and maintain the system. Fig. 1: Tajamar
