1. Where does your drinking water come from? What process is used? How long will it last? What will you do whe

We Answered:

a well, electromechanical extraction. at current usage, long after i am gone, save a catastrophic duought.
alternatives are hooking to city water.

our conservation across america is absolutely lousy.

start looking for ways to use membrane absorbtion from the atmosphere, use power plants to cogenerate potable water, restrict the use of water at every household by 10%, and decrease deliverys until we use half what we do now.
water from washers can be used to water lawns, showers can be shorter. washing your car can be done with less than 5 gallons of water. we are not conservation minded, and it will hurt us.
if you look at the growth in the southwest, they are running on a water deficit and they still build.
the ogalalla aquafer, on of the larges in the world is being depleted. when that goes midwest irragation goes. the midwest is the bread basket of the us and a source of our agracultural surplus that we use for balance of payments.

get pissed, and start making "campaign contributions" to our federal elected officials.
in america campaign contributions are our form of bribery.
if that doesn't work try a land swap with nature conservatory or antoher organization.

Ecology of The Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park?

We Answered:

check the following links: http://www.stlucia.org.za/
http://www.stlucia.org.za/
The ongoing fluvial, marine and aeolian processes in the site have produced a variety of landforms, including coral reefs, long sandy beaches, coastal dunes, lake systems, swamps, and extensive reed and papyrus wetlands. The interplay of the park's environmental heterogeneity with major floods and coastal storms and a transitional geographic location between subtropical and tropical Africa has resulted in exceptional species diversity and ongoing speciation. The mosaic of landforms and habitat types creates breathtaking scenic vistas. The site contains critical habitats for a range of species from Africa's marine, wetland and savannah environments.

The Greater St Lucia Wetland Park - declared a World Heritage Site in late 1999 - is an aggregation of numerous, singular natural wonders deemed crucial to the future of the global community. Each offers its own unique features and activities for those in love with the Great Outdoors.

Hutted accommodation and a camping site within the southernmost Mapelane Nature Reserve allow easy exploration of the fascinating, pristine Dukuduku and Umfolozi Swamp forests.

Just across the Mfolozi River, self-guided trails reveal the beauty of St Lucia Estuary, beginning on the southern shore with the Umphafa game trail. The short Gwalagwala Trail takes in many bird and animal sights as it wanders through coastal forest on the estuary s edge. A little longer at 5km, the Mvubu Trail skirts crocodile and hippo territory as it passes through mangrove swamps.

St Lucia Game Reserve has two short trails starting from the campsite at Iphiva the 1.5km iHlati Trail through dune forest... and the 4km, circular Iphiva Trail that skirts a beautifully situated pan abundant with bird-life. From Charters Creek, meanwhile, indigenous trees highlight the 7km Isikhova Trail, and families of warthog and bushpig dot the slightly shorter Umkhumbe Trail. Excellent bird- watching features on two walks from Fanie's Island - the 2km Umboma Trail and slightly longer Umkhiwane Trail that incorporates coastal forest and bush. Stronger legs - and a backpack - are called for when embarking on either of the trails traversing St Lucia Eastern Shores. The 3-day Mziki Trail begins 2km from Mission Rocks...flanking the ocean, then passing through open grasslands, dense forests and coastal dunes for the next 38km. Spectacular views of the ocean and lake- system are complemented by likely sightings of leopard, antelope, hippo, crocodile and bush pig. Birding delights are guaranteed! Overnight accommodation is provided at a hut on Mount Tabor.

HOW WILL THE PHILIPPINE TECHNOLOGY REJUVENATE WETLANDS?

We Answered:

Per messages received from outer space, still the scientific community is facing a blank wall for they could not decipher & perceive the teachings of the author Winston Kayanan. The Philippine technology is anchored on organic matter cycling, taught in high school and easy to understand which requires no further explanation. As such, the author believes that the key players in the environment (attacking global warming & climate change) should rather be soil scientists, agriculturists, foresters than environment scientists. But for the benefit of all, following are the salient features of this multi-purpose & multi-benefit Philippine technology known as implantation (performing on a hectare daily) via organic matter cycling, to wit:

a) Recapturing carbon roughly at 656.25 metric tons per hectare a day. Purpose is to bring back carbon to its domicile which is the land, a major component of the soil.

b) Recapturing carbon compounds (such as carbohydrates, fats, oils, proteins & other related substances like waxes, terpenes, etc.) roughly at the same amount 656.25 metric tons per hectare a day. Purpose is to enrich & nourish the land for tree plantation or vegetation.
