In this recent publication CPCB presents water quality of the Ganga for a decade spanning between 1999-2008. This will be useful for the agencies responsible for restoring and preserving water quality of Ganga and would serve as a model for conducting similar studies in other major rivers in India.
US EPA has announced final endangerment findings on GHGs concluding that these threaten public health and welfare of American people. Findings cover CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6 - subject of scrutiny & analysis for decades by scientists.
This ISWA White Paper says that waste sector offers a portfolio of proven, practical and cost effective technologies which can contribute to GHG mitigation. When adapted and deployed according to local traditions and needs, they can help secure significant global GHG emission savings.
Forests offer a one-time opportunity to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Approximately 20% of the emissions reductions needed by 2020 to prevent global temperatures rising above 2oC can be achieved by reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation, conserving forest carbon stocks and enhancing forest
carbon stocks through afforestation and reforestation.
