BOTSWANA ENVIRONMENT STATISTICS WATER DIGEST 2018 Statistics Botswana PREFACE This is Statistics Botswana’s annual Botswana Environment Statistics: Water Digest. It is the first solely water statistics annual digest. This Digest will provide data for use by decision-makers in water management and development and provide tools for the monitoring of trends in water statistics. The indicators in this report cover data on dam levels, water production, billed water consumption, non-revenue water, and water supplied to mines. It is envisaged that coverage of indicators will be expanded as more data becomes available. International standards and guidelines were followed in the compilation of this report. The United Nations Framework for the Development of Environment Statistics (UNFDES) and the United Nations International Recommendations for Water Statistics were particularly useful guidelines. The data collected herein will feed into the UN System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA) for water and hence facilitate an informed management of water resources.

Project Profile & Japan’s ODA Loan Angola Zambia Botswana Zimbabwe Namibia Maun Francistown Ghanzi Palapye Mamuno Maharapye South Africa Gaborone Tshabong Project location map Mmamashia Water Treatment Works 1.1 Background Botswana is a landlocked country that is situated in the Kalahari Basin on the plains of southern Africa (average altitude: approximately 900 meters); it is bordered by the Republic of South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Zambia. Its territory is generally flat and covers an area of 582 thousand square meters or approximately one-and-a-half times the size of Japan. It has a sub-tropical climate, with much of the country being arid or semi-arid. Annual rainfall averages 400mm nationwide, with southwestern regions seeing the least precipitation (250mm) and southeastern areas the most (600mm). Rainfall levels are seasonally affected and unstable. Botswana has few surface water resources in consequence of its topographical and geographical features and sources the majority of its water from groundwater fossil resources. At the time of appraisal, the water supply rate was 100 percent in urban areas centered around the capital, Gaborone, but in view of the fact that demand was growing at exponential rates, large-scale development of underground water was problematic and water resources around the capital had been developed, the country was considering water transmission from other regions. In addition, Gaborone was importing water on a regular basis from South Africa and the country harbored a long-cherished wish to develop independent national water resources. By contrast, the water supply rate in the regions was 50 percent and reliant on groundwater.

    Governance Relationships in Football Between Management and Labour Roitman - Governance Relationships Marston, C

    Building on the two prior CIES governance studies, this is the third FIFA-mandated research analysing governance relationships in football. This book focuses on those Editions CIES between football’s employers (clubs, leagues and even NAs) and its labour force. Based on a sample of forty countries across all six confederations and questionnaires from players’ associations, leagues and national associations, this research surveys and compares the diverse ‘management-labour’ approaches and scenarios in both men and women’s professional football worldwide. GOVERNANCE RELATIONSHIPS The authors place a special focus on players’ associations and highlight the variety of IN FOOTBALL BETWEEN structures found world-wide. The findings here contribute to a better understanding MANAGEMENT AND LABOUR of the systems, models and relationships in place around the globe when it comes to PLAYERS, CLUBS, LEAGUES & NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS ‘management’ and ‘labour’. This book explores the representation of Kevin Tallec Marston, Camille Boillat & Fernando Roitman players within decision-making structures at club, league and national association level as well as the regulatory contexts and negotiation instruments linking players and management - such as collaborative agreements/MoUs, CBAs, minimum contract requirements and dispute resolution. In addition, this study provides a first ever global exploration of some of the inner workings of players’ associations and an overview of the key issues in professional football from the player’s perspective. The final chapter offers several models and frameworks illustrating the governance relationships between players and management. All three authors work at the International Centre for Sport Studies (CIES). Kevin Tallec Marston earned his PhD in history and works as research fellow and academic projects manager.

    Meta-Television in Entourage, Extras and 30 Rock Introduction the Last Decade Has Seen a Number Of

    PREVIOUSLY ON “Cut the Shitcom”: Meta-television in Entourage, Extras and 30 Rock Toni Pape Introduction The last decade has seen a number of fictional TV series about television and film production. These television shows – including the ones to be analysed here: Entourage, Extras, and 30 Rock – relocate the process of creative revitalization in front of the camera. Meta-television, as I understand it here, then is television about the media industry and, more particularly, about the production and quality of film and television itself.1 The three above-mentioned television programs present contemporary writers, actors, directors, etc. working on movies and television shows. Especially Extras and 30 Rock offer a critical overview of how television formats are produced, and they significantly do so in a period of time during which the working conditions for television-makers have fundamentally changed. In a most general sense, the criticism that these shows purport works on two levels. First, as we will see further on, there is an explicit criticism implied in the way the TV shows at hand present the making of a TV show. Thus, there is for instance Andy Millman, the protagonist of Extras about whom I will have more to say later on, who clearly states his dissatisfaction as a disillusioned actor/writer: ANDY: I wanna do something that I’m proud of. And I won’t be proud of shouting out catch phrases in a stupid wig and funny glasses. […] So basically, I’m not going to prostitute myself anymore or my work, ok? (Extras “Orlando Bloom”, 21’30”) In a very outspoken way, the programs in question take stock of television’s outworn creative standards and its resulting mediocrity.
