millions of farmers living in and around cities
in ●developing countries use ●wastewater
to irrigat
e their crops,
according to a new report
by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI),
a nonprofit research
organization supported
by 60 governments and other
organizations.
The report provides the first
comprehensive,
global
analysis of the use of wastewater for
irrigation
-- which, despite its benefits
(providing food and sources of livelihood),
poses health risks to farmers and
consumers.
“The scene you see is the following,”
says Liqa Raschid-Sally,
an environmental engineer with IWMI
and one of the two authors of the report.
Developing countries are experiencing increasing urbanization,
causing their cities to
consume enormous amounts of water.
However, the infrastructu
re for treating wastewater
is not
keeping pace with urban growth,
and as a result, most of the wastewater from cities
remains untreated or
partially treated.
●If there is a river close by,
they dum
p it in the river; in coastal cities,
they end up dumping it into the ocean;
●if there is a lake nearby, they dum
p it there.
▲So,if there is a water source downstream of cities, it’s
polluted,”
Raschid-Sally explains.

●Though its cause may still be contenti
ous for some,
it is
undeniable that Greenland is disappearing at a
startling rate
as large
chunks of ice break off from the mainland and float away as icebergs.
Until now, it was commonly thought that
the melting and break up of mammoth glacier
s
was the most dramatic example of Greenland's changing
landscape;
however, new research shows that
the real culprit
s
are dozens of much smaller outflow glaciers dotting Greenland's coast.
Together, these petit
eglacier
s
are
responsible for an amount of ice loss three times greater
than that of their bigger sibling
s.
The most recent report,
published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters,states that
●almost 75 percent of Greenland's
diminishingice cap is due to these small coastal glacier
s
drifting out to sea.
To monitor these coastal areas,
scientists at Ohio State University
●used a
combination of highly
refined remote sensing techniques that
employ two ground-observing satellites.
ICEST (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite) examines flat areas
while ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer)
●is designed to
observe the
steeper regions of the ice sheet.
When
combined, the researchers had a
comprehensive,
high-
resolution look at ice elevation change
(the rate at which the ice is going up or down).
The scientists also pointed out that
research like this does not necessarily require fanc
y new equipment,
●but, more importantly, the correct
combination of pre-existing tools.
