Catchments

The FAO believes a kind of cash-for-work scheme could be utilized to build up famine-resistant infrastructure such as water catchments, while providing people with the resources to protect their most vital assets. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Freshwater systemsAction: Protect catchments and restore natural water flows in freshwater systems, particularly the Murray-Darling Basin ❋ Guillaume Chapron (2010)

But the barrier is now operating close to capacity, raising fears that any increase in the floods flowing through local catchments could cause a catastrophic failure. ❋ David Fickling (2011)

As we drive onward up to Kisima I hear about work done with the River Users Associations, (created by the National Water Resource Management Authority) to empower communities to sustainably manage water catchments and ensure that the springs keep flowing. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Afterward, they showed me the catchments that they had already built to direct rainwater into their wells. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Given the special constraints of China's rapidly growing cities, Chi Sage designed for not only large catchments, but also smaller areas of large cities, looking for volume to achieve scale. ❋ MIT Entrepreneurship Review (2010)

I indicated to him that Somerset stretches from Bath right the way down to Lands End which is a huge area and certainly one of the biggest county catchments on the circuit. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The rivers 'water flow is characterized by wide seasonal fluctuation, partly because of rainfall irregularity, but also because of erosion and deforestation of catchments. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Designing for multiple smaller catchments, including individual buildings, Chi Sage achieves structural reliability that prevents a single failure from crippling overall performance. ❋ MIT Entrepreneurship Review (2010)

I'd like to see cisterns and catchments funded for existing buildings and yards, too, so there's as little water running into the streets as possible. ❋ Unknown (2010)

It emphasized the need to conserve rainwater through catchments and to plant trees against erosion. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Generally apparent effects of these threats include loss of biodiversity, rapid deterioration in land cover, and depletion of water availability through destruction of catchments and aquifers. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The university's imminent introduction of the A* grade, in order to distinguish between the ever-increasing numbers of children with A grades, there is every chance that this will, again, work against candidates from state schools, particularly those secondaries which do not select, or band, or draw their pupils from middle-class catchments. ❋ Unknown (2010)
