Dana Altomare feels at peace when she's out on the ocean. The adventurous surfer is excited about her move to South Florida but nervous about the past she has left far behind her. She knows she can't run from the demons chasing her forever. Christopher Bannon has demons of his own. Chris left a high-powered job as a successful stockbroker to become a carpenter in a small South Florida town. He's happier than he was, but he's still hurting. When these two lost souls find each other, a spark ignites. Dana and Chris become great friends. Both are dedicated to making the most of beach life and seeking out adventure wherever they can find it. Both also secretly long for something more from their relationship but can't find the courage to confess their feelings. In this steamy, tropical romance, Chris and Dana will both have to face their pasts and realize the truth about their future. Inner turmoil, however, isn't the only thing brewing off the South Florida coast. Mother Nature has her own surprises in store for the two friends, and their next adventure could end up becoming their last
The Green Economy and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus

The Green Economy and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus

Robert C. Brears

Springer International Publishing AG
2023
sidottu
This book argues that a variety of policies will be required to create synergies between the water-energy-food nexus sectors while reducing trade-offs in the development of a green economy. Despite rising demand for water, energy and food globally, the governance of water-energy-food sectors has generally remained separate with limited attention placed on the interactions that exist between them. Brears provides readers with a series of in-depth case studies of leading cities, states, nations and regions of differing climates, lifestyles and income-levels from around the world that have implemented a variety of policy innovations to reduce water-energy-food nexus pressures and achieve green growth. The Green Economy and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus will be of interest to town and regional planners, resource conservation managers, policymakers, international companies and organisations interested in reducing water-energy-food nexus pressures, environmental NGOs, researchers, graduate and undergraduate students.

Numerical Methods for Shallow-Water Flow
A wide variety of problems are associated with the flow of shallow water, such as atmospheric flows, tides, storm surges, river and coastal flows, lake flows, tsunamis. Numerical simulation is an effective tool in solving them and a great variety of numerical methods are available. The first part of the book summarizes the basic physics of shallow-water flow needed to use numerical methods under various conditions. The second part gives an overview of possible numerical methods, together with their stability and accuracy properties as well as with an assessment of their performance under various conditions. This enables the reader to select a method for particular applications. Correct treatment of boundary conditions (often neglected) is emphasized. The major part of the book is about two-dimensional shallow-water equations but a discussion of the 3-D form is included. The book is intended for researchers and users of shallow-water models in oceanographic and meteorological institutes, hydraulic engineering and consulting. It also provides a major source of information for applied and numerical mathematicians.

This book deals with biotic and abiotic factors of the environment and focuses an emerging branch of science which deals with the input of secondary metabolites of one plant, release from any part of plants either by means of leaching by rainwater, dew, fog or volatilization of volatile compounds or root exudates into the environment, on other plants. This study adopted Many crop plants thrive well in the water logging conditions where other aquatic weeds also grow. This book also highlights on allelopathic effect of water hyacinth (E. crassipes) on seed germination and seedling growth only on limited crop plants.

With the worsening water crisis in several regions of great agricultural importance, often due to climate change, as recently observed in northeastern Brazil, water availability has become an increasingly constant concern. The issue is now urgent, so that it does not reach a critical state, not only in Brazil but throughout the world. This leads us to the need to adopt measures to reuse water, in order to ensure the availability of this resource for future generations.
Fresh Water

Fresh Water

This text describes the natural history of this vital ingredient of the natural world, capable of shaping the land where it flows, carving canyons in the rock and dissolving caverns deep underground. Fresh water is an agent of nature, always at work, and seldom thought of as having a natural history. Here, the remarkable ways of water are examined; where it comes from and where it goes; how it moves over and under the earth and into the atmosphere; how it affects the land. Also considered is the connection between water and life in a time when the world's supply of clean, fresh water continues to dwindle.

With the eye of a professional scientist and the passion of a dedicated amateur, E. C. Pielou conducts a guided tour of fresh water on its course through the natural world. As the world's supply of clean, fresh water continues to dwindle, it becomes increasingly important to understand the close connection between water and all forms of life. Pielou's fascination with fresh water gives us a "natural history" that is remarkable and surprising. "[A] keen and detailed look at the life and history of fresh water. . . . Dip into Fresh Water. It will both stimulate and satisfy as only good natural history can."—Toronto Globe and Mail"Pielou's ease with her subject and her no-nonsense style of writing will satisfy and inspire the poet as well as the naturalist."—Denize Springer, Express Books"[Pielou's] writing is didactic and definitive, in places even charming, and is buttressed by clear illustrations. . . . A welcome addition to the genre of literature designed to bridge the gap between scientists . . . and the intelligent and concerned lay public."—Daniel Hillel, Nature"A wonderful natural history of one of life's necessities, a refreshing break from the grand theory and special pleading of many a science book. . . . Read it."—Fred Pearce, New Scientist
