SustainableSustainable managementmanagement techniquestechniques Water resources are the sources by which we can get the water for our different types of uses. The freshwater resource is multidimensional. It is not limited only to its physical measure (hydrological and hydrogeological), the ‘flows and stocks’, but encompasses other more qualitative, environmental and socio- economic dimensions.

From: FAO Surface water resource Surface water is the water from the lakes and reservoirs, fresh wetlands, rivers and streams Artificial riverbed through cultivated land From: USGS Natural lake From:http://www.kids Natural river bed geo.com/geography- From: USGS for-kids/0148-surface- water.php Frozen water Several schemes have been proposed to make use of icebergs as a water source, however to date this has only been done for novelty purposes. Glacier runoff is considered to be surface water. From Wikipedia From Wikipedia Surface water bodies are formed of water from direct rain, runoffs, and springs. A runoff is the part of rain water that does not infiltrate the ground or evaporate. It flows by gravity into the water body from the surrounding land. One inch of runoff rain/acre (or 2.54cm/4,047m2) is equal to 102,206.06 lit. This drainage area is known as the watershed. Watershed characteristics affect the water quality, therefore protection of these watersheds is very important. From: http://water.me.vccs.edu/courses/env110/lesson2.htm A watershed is the land area that drains water to a particular stream, river, or lake. The watershed can be identified by tracing a line along the highest elevations between two areas on a map, often a ridge. From: USGS Water From: Hawai‘i ,Association Science Glossary of Terms Water Partnerships/HAWP From:New Jersey Water Supply Authority/JWSA Groundwater is water that is found underground in the cracks and spaces in soil, sand and rock. Groundwater is stored in--and moves slowly through--layers of soil, sand and rocks called aquifers. Aquifers typically consist of gravel, sand, sandstone, or fractured rock, like limestone. These materials are permeable because they have large connected spaces that allow water to flow through. The speed at which groundwater flows depends on the size of the spaces in the soil or rock and how well the spaces are connected. The area where water fills the aquifer is called the saturated zone (or saturation zone). The top of this zone is called the water table. The water table may be located only a foot below the ground’s surface or it can sit hundreds of feet down.

From: US Global Change research program TheThe hydrologichydrologic cyclecycle Earth's water is always in movement, and the natural water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Water is always changing states between liquid, vapor, and ice, with these processes happening in the of an eye and over millions of years. TheThe hydrologichydrologic balancebalance The water balance is an accounting of the inputs and outputs of water: Inflows – Outflows= ΔStorage From: fao.org When the INPUTS and OUTPUTS of the drainage basin system are balanced it is said to be in dynamic equilibrium. This can also be shown in a water budget, which is: Precipitation (P) – Runoff (Q) – Net Groundwater outflow – Evapotranspiration (ET) = Δstorage where the net groundwater outflow is groundwater inflows minus outflow From: Welty C, The urban water Budget, Baker R.A(ed) The water environment of Cities, Springer For urban areas, the water budget for a watershed-based control volume therefore may be altered to reflect these additional considerations and expressed as: Precipitation−Runoff−Net Groundwater Outflow+Net Potable Water Imported+Net Wastewater Imported + Net Storm water Imported−Evapotranspiration = Δstorage where net water imported is water imported minus exported by piped systems (potable water, wastewater, storm water). A developed watershed may have any combination of water, wastewater, and storm water imports and exports, which can lead to a net loss or gain to the system compared to the natural system. From: Welty C, The urban water Budget, Baker R.A(ed) The water environment of Cities, Springer WaterWater demandsdemands On a global scale and in the last decades urban development stresses water resources by increasing demand. The expanding world population and the increasing demand for consumer goods is the source of this increase. The per capita use of water varies greatly around the world. The minimum need to sustain a person’s life is about 3 liters per day; the per capita water use is much higher in developed than developing countries. For example, in Canada and the United States the annual per capita water use is 271 and 203 m3 while in Somalia and Eritrea the inhabitants use less than 2 m3 per year (Form: FAO, 2003). ¾The total water abstraction for Water demands in Europe irrigation in Europe is around 105.068 Hm3/year. ¾The total water use for urban purposes in Europe is estimated at about 53.294Hm3 /year, which amounts for 18 % of its total abstraction and 27 % of its consumptive uses. ¾The total industrial water use in Europe is 34.194 Hm3/year, which represents 18%of its water consumption. ¾Energy water it accounts for about 30 % of all the water uses in Europe.

  • TA GREECE ITINERARIES at a Glance
    Mesmerizing Greece Because the Endless Blue just can’t be experienced any other Top Itinerary Options Powered by Endless Blue © by Powered While Greece has a multitude of itinerary options, its most popular are the islands that are found in the region called the Cyclades with islands such as Mykonos, Paros, Naxos and of course the world famous Santorini. Second most popular island cluster is the Argo Saronic known for its calm waters, protected coves and traditionally Greek Islands. Some of the islands and coast that are part of this itinerary are the islands of Hydra, location to many Hollywood movies and its donkey only transportation - no cars allowed. The island of Spetses famous for its architecture and pristinely kept island. And of course the Peloponnesus Coast where one can visit the world famous Epidavros the birthplace of theatre. Another popular option with Captains is the combination of these two distinctly different regions giving you the perfect balance of iconic white washed houses with blue shutters combined with majestic stone architecture. History abounds in these two regions ranging from ancient theatre to exquisite antiquity around every corner.

  • A Review of Desalination Potential in Greek Islands Using Renewable Energy Sources, a Life Cycle Assessment of Different Units
    European Journal of Sustainable Development (2017), 6, 2, 19-32 ISSN: 2239-5938 Doi: 10.14207/ejsd.2017.v6n2p19 A Review of Desalination Potential in Greek Islands Using Renewable Energy Sources, a Life Cycle Assessment of Different Units By Karvounis Panagiotis* Abstract The scarcity of water is a long-standing problem in Greek islands. The government, as a temporary solution adopted the transportation of water using tanker ships. This type of water is of low quality non-potable and in some cases inappropriate for any use. Apart from that water transportation increases the carbon footprint of the islands that it is already stained due to the big thermal power plants that feed the grid using fossil fuels (mainly diesel). Apart from the environmental issues the economic consequences are extremely high. The cost of transported water in Dodecanese and Cyclades reached a total of 73,5 million € from 2002 to 2010. The aim of this paper is to bring forward the proposed solutions for desalination of sea water using renewable energy sources, as Greek islands have a great wind and solar potential that is hard to find in any other place on Europe. A Life Cycle Assessment is been conducted between two different desalination technologies (RES and Diesel operating desalination) to fully understand the impact these units have to the environment. Keywords: Desalination, Renewable energy, Greek islands, carbon footprint, reverse osmosis, LCA 1. Introduction Water scarcity is a timeless problem of Greek islands which lead to huge amounts of low quality and not potable water being transported to them with tanker ships.

University, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI - 48109, USA; E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. The development of Herpetology in Greece is examined in this paper. After a brief look at the first reports on amphibians and reptiles from antiquity, a short presentation of their deep impact on classical Greek civilization but also on present day traditions is attempted. The main part of the study is dedicated to the presentation of the major herpetol- ogists that studied Greek herpetofauna during the last two centuries through a division into Schools according to researchers' origin. Trends in herpetological research and changes in the anthropogeography of herpetologists are also discussed. Last- ly the future tasks of Greek herpetology are presented. Climate, geological history, geographic position and the long human presence in the area are responsible for shaping the particular features of Greek herpetofauna. Around 15% of the Greek herpetofauna comprises endemic species while 16% represent the only European populations in their range.
