The water filter can only be used with pre filtered water from a water supply facility.

(b) Issues concerning technologies for increasing efficiency in the use of water and for water recycling, and the transfer and adaptation of such technologies.

(c) Such nets should only be used in international waters.

FAO provides advice on water use and efficiency in agriculture and land management, as well as on technologies for abstraction.

(iii) Training farmers and water user associations in efficient water use and sustainable agricultural land management

ISSUES CONCERNING TECHNOLOGIES FOR INCREASING EFFICIENCY IN THE USE OF WATER AND FOR WATER RECYCLING, AND THE TRANSFER AND ADAPTATION OF SUCH

The water could be used again for fields lower down the slope.

Emerging concepts Global assessment and monitoring Innovative instruments Participation and water governance Support to regional and subregional water bodies Groundwater Mention of the final report of the World Commission on Dams Conceptual precision in the use of the terms global waters , international waters and transboundary waters applied to oceans, seas and inland bodies of water

Adaptive responses to the risk of changes in future water supply include measures that increase the efficiency of local water use and programmes that recycle water among activities with sequentially less stringent demands for water quality. Such adaptive responses will have many economically important benefits.

And we need to understand the designated use for a particular water body, and the water quality criteria that maintain that designated use.

The Committee also noted the use of telecommunications satellites for gathering data on water quality.

The decisions also set out specific actions for better water management, including more efficient irrigation, and for training farmers and water users associations in efficient water use.

Because of the loss of water, the Marsh Arabs can basically no longer use their traditional boats.

And just by using cold water going through the water pipes, you can release the heat which is absorbed during the day in the stadium, so you can create that comfort, and then by adding dry air instead of down chilled air, the spectators and the football players can adjust to their individual comfort needs, to their individual energy balance.

Many countries have successfully used water tariff structures to promote water conservation and discourage waste, while meeting the needs of the poor.

Decide to facilitate access to water for all and to accelerate the preparation of national integrated water management and water efficiency plans

89. The immediate course of action must centre on water conservation through rational utilization of water resources and use of efficient technologies.

Outputs Advisory services provided and training programmes implemented on more sustainable use of water resources by industrial enterprises and sustainable management of transboundary water resources Information materials, books, reports, brochures, web pages published.

(g) groundwater abstraction facilities, regardless of the use or destination of the water, above 3.5 million cubic metres per year

Member of a joint commission between South Africa and Namibia on the utilization of water from the Orange River.

(c) A study on the health aspects of wastewater reuse for agriculture and aquaculture

Water can be reused and new fresh water can be produced from the sea.

There simply is not enough water for everything these nations want to use it for, and the situation will only worsen.

The provisions of the resolution prohibit the use of drift nets exceeding a length of 1,500 metres in national jurisdictional or international waters.

Water pricing would promote a more economical use of water as well as its more efficient allocation among various uses.

They're concerned about securing an adequate supply of water, they're trying to be really efficient with their water use, and they're concerned about how their water use affects the image of their brand.

quot (a) Surface water is used directly for purposes of agriculture and settlement, as well as to supply Lake Tiberias

The filter cannot be used with water from unsafe water sources such as rivers and wells.

People have simply lost the knowledge of how to use the catchment area and the rain, the blessing of the water in the right way.

Water scarcity could be addressed through modern water conservation techniques in agriculture (such as drip irrigation, on farm water management, lining of watercourses and canals, etc.) and through more traditional techniques (such as rainwater harvesting).

For cholera, he suggested the use of bole hole drills for capturing water, the employment of activated charcoal domestic water filtration systems, and the establishment of locations for disease screening and medical care.

One innovative technique is the use of underground dams to capture water flowing in shallow aquifers.

Finland reported that there are no specific bilateral agreements on the management and use of transboundary aquifers, since the aquifers extending beyond the national border are not used for water supply.

Increased use of safe water and sanitation facilities and improved hygiene practices contribute significantly to public health programmes in general.

Do they, for instance, capture rainwater so that we can reduce water use?

66. A member of the Committee made a statement on issues concerning technologies for increasing efficiency in the use of water and for water recycling, including the transfer and adaptation of such technologies.

A fleet of an estimated 600 vessels was alleged to be operating in international waters as well as in territorial waters of countries that expressly forbade the use of this gear.

Recognizing the importance of rehabilitating and upgrading present projects and conserving scarce water and land resources by the improved use of irrigation and water resource management for agricultural production,
