Global warming will surpass 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels during the next decade, due to greenhouse gas emissions. The constant rise in temperatures and related impacts combine with other pressures, thus increasing risk and undermining resilience. The increasing interconnectedness of people and human
systems increases the risk of compound and cascading crises.

Public Swimming Pool and Spa Pool Advisory Document
The primary purpose of the advisory document is to provide information and guidance to pool operators, authorised officers (also known as environmental health officers), pool consultants and other swimming pool industry stakeholders on the appropriate modern standards to design, operate and maintain healthy swimming pools and spa pools. The secondary purpose is to complement public health legislation, particularly the prescribed operating requirements in Schedule 1 to the Public Health Regulation 2012. Disinfection is critical to prevent the survival and growth of micro-organisms in swimming pools and spa pools. The quality of incoming water supply, efficient filtration, well designed circulation and distribution systems, and an
optimum turnover rate to deliver clean clear water are equally important. Client hygiene management is also an important aspect of disease minimisation. Disease minimisation and water quality are the core themes of the advisory document.

Emergency Response Planning Guide
INTRODUCTION
Emergency response planning and preparedness is an important element in managing a wastewater treatment facility and collection system. The citizens of your town and our state rely upon wastewater treatment personnel for protection against unexpected events that may jeopardize public health and safety. Wastewater employees expect to be protected from the consequences of natural or man-made disasters affecting the wastewater system. Town officials are responsible for protecting the taxpayer’s investment in its infrastructure and to ensure that regulatory requirements will be met during an emergency. In other words, preparation for the unexpected is necessary and requires an emergency plan to be in place and functional to handle a variety of situations. Both EPA and NHDES require the inclusion of an Emergency Response Plan in every Operation and Maintenance manual for wastewater treatment facilities and pump stations. It is listed as an O&M manual requirement in the State of New Hampshire Code of Administrative Rules, Chapter Env-Wq 700, STANDARDS OF DESIGN AND CONTRUCTION FOR SEWERAGE AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES, Section 708.08(b)(9). In addition, funding agencies, such as the United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Development (USDA/RD), require all systems that receive USDA/RD funding for wastewater improvement projects to complete a Security Vulnerability Assessment and Emergency Response Plan prior to awarding money. NHDES takes this responsibility seriously. The Emergency Response Planning section of this manual was developed to ensure that all facilities receive the same information. It is not intended to serve as a substitute for an actual emergency response plan specific to your facility, but rather to serve as a generic guide to aid in planning for unanticipated situations in the event that a facility does not have a specific response plan. If there is an actual plan it shall be inserted into the O&M manual in lieu of this planning guide.

Fluoride Removal from Water Using Nanoscale Zerovalent Iron (NZVI)
Abstract
Excessive intake of fluoride can cause adverse effects on human health. In this study, nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) was prepared and applied to remove excessive fluoride from water. The experiments were conducted in a batch system and the effects of pH, contact time and the concentrations of fluoride and nanoscale zero-valent iron doses were investigated.

Developing The Skills That Fuel High Performance
Introduction:
This book is not intended to teach you about the processes and terms and other mechanical activities of project management. This is a book about working with and leading people who are working on projects. My core premise is that great project outcomes are in large part dependent upon the leadership skills of the project managers. As an executive, I understand that great, passionate and capable leaders that also are well trained in the science of project management are the ones that drive great results.
Alternatively, if I look hard at the many project failures that I've encountered in over two decades working for technology firms and now as an educator and consultant, project leadership is always an issue. If you are interested in growing your career as a project manager and perhaps
leveraging your unique insights and skills in broader and higher management roles, it is critical for you to focus on building your skills as a leader.
