About "Urban Water Management: Challenges and options" topic:
The Urban Water Management (UWM) is a crisis management strategy that draws together all facets of water cycle viz. water supply, sewage and storm water management to integrate strong social, economic and environmental development. The UWM essentially provides for effectiveness in water saving, equity in water sharing and delivery efficiency followed by sustainable use of available water resources. So in this topic let us discuss about the integrated policy and planning for appropriate use of river, ground, rain and sea water, sewage and other water resources.

In today's news, I came across this article that scientists at Sandia National Labs who were seeking a means to create cheap and abundant hydrogen to power a hydrogen economy, realized they could use the same technology to "reverse-combust" CO2 back into fuel. They still have to improve the efficiency of the system, but they recently demonstrated a working prototype of their "Sunshine to Petrol" converting waste CO2 to carbon monoxide, and then syngas, consuming nothing but solar energy. The device, boasting the simple title Counter-Rotating-Ring Receiver Reactor Recuperator (CR5) sets off a thermo-chemical reaction by exposing an iron-rich composite to concentrated solar heat. The composite sheds an oxygen molecule when heated and gets one back as it cools, and therein lies the fuel. The cylindrical metal CR5 is divided into hot and cold chambers. Solar energy heats the hot chamber to a scorching 2,700 degrees, which forces the iron oxide composite to lose oxygen atoms. The...
