Summary Sustainable water management represents one of the key challenges towards future-proof development. Comprehensive, neutral and transparent information supply represents a key instrument to facilitate  sustainable development. Technical, economic, environmental but also social mal-developments can be identified rapidly and measures for improvement can be applied. With regard to water management, in particular with regard to hydro power it has to be noted that today the data situation is rather dissatisfying. Many information sources are around, often providing contradictory and sometimes simply wrong and incomplete data. To overcome this problem _sustinvent+ v0.605 RC1 has been developed since 2012.   
By 20th December 2013 version 0.605 RC1 will be released providing access to more than 5’500 hydro power data sets of Africa, Middle-East and China. All of the data sets were subject to a thorough and critical evaluation. Basis of all information was the FAO-data base of hydro power facilities, information obtained directly from facility operators, and other third party information as literature.


To improve the functionality and add more information content, the inventories of larger dam facilities are as of this version equipped with multi-media meta-data sets, i.e. images and video-clips.
 
The following special reflection provides a quick overview about the newest release of _sustinvent+ v0.605 RC1 | single window version. More information are available via: http://kt75-mirror.blogspot.ch/p/kt75-interactive.html

Shared Water Resources in Western Asia: an Inventory Approach

Image
-- a _kt75 | reprint NEW: explore all _kt75 | publications via the news db... and leave your comments here The sharing of water resources has been an influential feature affecting life, society and development in the Arabian Peninsula , the Mashrek and Mesopotamia for millennia. Historically, communities living in these arid and semi-arid regions always shared the water of rivers, springs and wadis, although this was more out of necessity than idealism. Water resources were traditionally managed at the local level, with tensions emerging between Bedouins, shepherds, pastoralists and growing urban centres. Water management and irrigation schemes – such as the underground aqueducts or falaj networks found in Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Yemen – sustained different communal needs for dozens of centuries, while the marshes of Mesopotamia, the Tigris floodplain and the Jordan River Valley were cultivated and sustained successive civilizations since earliest of times.

Renewables - Part I: Is Solar Energy Ready To Compete With Oil And Other Fossil Fuels?
- a status note -

Image
reprint The solar energy industry may prove to be a dark horse in the race to provide global energy security. The world has renewed its interest in solar energy investment as it searches for a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuels. Countries like China , Germany, the UK, the US, Japan and Canada have already made significant investments in solar power . Who are the other players who are investing big in solar energy? With its own set of limitations such as high installation costs and high plug-in time, are consumers across the world ready to choose solar energy to power their daily lives? Or, are the conventional energy sources still the best bet? The best part about solar energy is that it is abundant and freely available, at least in most parts of the world. However, the high upfront costs of a photo voltaic panel remain a concern for many. Things are changing fast, however, and according to data from SEIA, the cost of an average PV system i
