Welcome to Sustainable Water Resource
South Africa’s first Sustainable Water Resource Handbook was launched early in 2010 and by all accounts Volume 1 has served to provide local water sector stakeholders with an effective reference tool that contains articles written by leading authors and experts in their respective sectors. Chapters ranged from climate, rainfall, groundwater and water management to wastewater, sanitation and agricultural water to name a few. More than 7000 copies are already in circulation.
The massive global issues that are climate change and water scarcity provide the emotive backdrop to the Sustainable Water Resource Handbook and this backdrop extends more practically to the burning issues of water sustainability such as access, purification, treatment and delivery. The Handbook seeks to deal with the macro issues that are driving policy and strategy at national level but also provides practical insights into topics such as technology and measurement.
Alive2green is proud to announce the arrival of Volume 2 of the Sustainable Water Resource Handbook which will be published in time for an early 2011 distribution to between 8000 and 15 000 readers. Volume 2 of the Handbook is peer-reviewed and authors submissions will reviewed for academic publication by a panel consisting of some of South Africa’s top researchers and sector experts. The peer-review process is in keeping with international academic handbook standards as well as requirements from publication stakeholders such as CSIR, but is also linked with the generation of the eLearning modules that will now be associated with all Volumes of the Handbook.
The newly launched Alive2green eLearning modules can be found on the www.alive2green.com/education platform and soon to join the current 6 Eco-Building modules and certificates will be at least four Sustainable Water eLearning Modules and one Certificate Course. The modules and the certificate are based on Volume 1 of the Handbook. Additional eLearning Modules will also be available after the publication of Volume 2.
