Developing an Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) Concept for the Capital Brasília

IWAS-Áqua DF Brasília

In recent years awareness of a sustainable usage for limited fresh water resources has been raised all over the world. With an Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) the water sector has a powerful instrument at its disposal. IWRM can offer solutions for an ideal correlation of scarce water resources and water demand in quantity and quality particularly in arid areas. The Project IWAS-Aqua DF Brasilia faces the urgency to take actions to secure the water supply of Brazil`s capital Brasilia and its Federal District (DF) which is confronted with a growing population in combination with major changes in land use (e. g. intensification of agriculture) and extreme climatic conditions (pronounced dry season) [1]. The main objective is to develop an Integrated Water Resources Management plan regarding natural boundary conditions (climate, land use, urban structure, etc.), water supply systems(drinking and wastewater treatment and distribution system) and management issues. An overview of all Brazilian and German partners who are involved in the project â€IWAS-Aqua DF Brasilia†is given in fig. 1. The following article presents the current and future project work in the fields of drinking water supply, urban drainage and wastewater treatment.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
