Africa is a region with some of the largest lakes in the world. These lakes with their size and volume make a great water body and as much play a significant role not only in the environmental sector but also play a major role in the economic and social life too. With this the people living here are going to have a better life. But there is lot of strain on these water resources. This is believed to create many challenges to the sustainable development in this region. So the conservation of water management has to be viewed with a lot of care and the future thus requires a lot of hard work and effort towards this sphere. The consensus in security of water shows that the water resources in Africa are at great risk. In fact most countries in the world are stressed with a lot of water problems. Any person who takes any decision on water protection has to  [...]

It was the Bruntland Commission that coined the term sustainable development and it defined sustainable development as the development that meets the requirements of the present without having to make any compromise in the capacity of the future generations to meet up to their own requirements. From that time onwards, the theory of sustainable development has developed a great deal and the ideas of sustainable development have been used around the planet the right way and at the right time. The reason for the need to be more sustainable is very crucial and the fact that the planet is facing a lot of degradation of the ecosystem makes it all the more important. The natural systems provide the right kind of essential services and in the absence of these, the planet loses the capacity to sustain life. Hence sustainability has been merged with the process of development at a greater pace. While getting to understand some examples of

Today is the age where technology and science are progressing at jet speed. Simultaneously we as the citizens of the planet earth have to ensure that our planet is not jeopardized and is not under danger. Under such circumstances, the best thing that we could do is to ensure that all the factors of sustainable development are adhered to and global warming is avoided. What could we do as individuals? We could find the necessity to reverse the entire process of emissions that are present in the atmosphere and avoid the irreversible effect it could have on the climate. So it is important that we try to improve on the availability of pure and hygienic drinking water facilities. It is not enough if we just stop or try to curb pollution. It is important that we actually are able to avoid a great deal of carbon out of the air. All methods and procedures that could lead to a reduction in the carbon in the air are to be adopted and made a way of life. For example we  [...]

Lake Ecosystem is the ecosystem of a lake, swamp or pond and included in the environment are biotic interactions and abiotic interactions. Lentic refers to still or standing water and is derived from Latin word Lentus that means sluggish. Lake ecosystems can be compared with lotic ecosystems that involve flowing terrestrial waters like streams or rivers. These systems are diverse and range from temporary, small rainwater pool couple of inches deep to Lake Baikal that has maximum deepness of 1740 meters. The common difference between ponds or pools and lakes is vague, however Brown states, which pools and ponds have their complete bottom surfaces exposed too light, while lakes don’t. Additionally, quite a few lakes become seasonally the shore and bottom regions, as ponds feature deep bottom areas not exposed to light. Lake Ecosystem have an extra zone called profundal. You will find bacteria in all areas of lake waters and free living forms are linked  [...]
