Technology is a very important factor in rutal water supply, including maintenance of sources, equipment and management of water. I am sure, the Workshop will lay emphasis on these various aspects and come out with practicable suggestions to give an appropriate interpretation to the concept of rural water supply. I send my best wishes for the success of the Seminar. Sd/- , (KUMUD JOSHI) HYDERABAD. Date: 27-3-1987 N. T. Rama Rao Chief Minister JVtessage I am glad to learn that Panchayat Raj Engineering Department is conducting a workshop on "Role of Technology in Rural Water Supply" and bringing out a souvenir to commemorate the occasion. In this context, I would like to remind that there would be no meaning if the technological tests and results are confined to laboratories and workshops only. The fruits of technology should reach the common man and help better his standard of life and conditions of living. This workshop gains special significance in view of the fact that provision of drinking water in urban and rural areas became a challenging responsibility which has to be accepted with the limited resources at our disposal and all other constraints encountered by us. I congratulate the Organizers for their meaningful efforts and wish the Workshop all success with rewarding results. (A. 7. (lama Raa) HYDERABAD Date 24-3-1987 Karanam Ramachandra Rao Minister for Panchayati Raj and Rural Development JVtessage It gives me immense pleasure to note that a Workshop on "Role of Technology in Rural Water Supply" is being held from 31st March - 2nd April, 1987 at Jubilee Hall, Public Gardens, Hyderabad. I am also happy to know that about 40 papers on various technical and other aspects connected with Rural Water Supply Schemes will be presented and discussed during the Workshop. I am sure the Workshop will discuss the various areas on the subject and will come-out with constructive and practical suggestions for a more effective implementation of the Rural Water Supply Programme with optimum utilisation of resources. I wish the Workshop a grand success. (K, Raa) K. E.

I hope that this Workshop will provide appropriate technological solutions to different drinking water problems of JJural areas in general and in Xurno°I District in particular. I wish the organisers of the Workshop all success in their endeavour. id/- Mutt Ay Shravan Kumar, I.A.S. ^Bggg& HYDERABAD-500 022. Chief Secretary to Govt. Dated 25-3-1987 JVtessage I am glad that the Panchayati Raj Engineering Department is organising a workshop on "Role of Technology in Rural Water Supply" from 31st March to 2nd April, 1987. The importance of providing protected water supply to the urban and rural areas in our country need not be over-emphasized. Whatever steps are taken in this direction either by adopting suitable technologies or by involving the beneficiaries would go a long way in achieving the mission. I trust the workshop would provide a good opportunity to the participants to consider various aspects and suggest plan of action in achieving the objective. I wish the deliberations all success. WELCOME ADDRESS The Hon'ble Minister for Panchayat Raj &: Rural Development, Sri Karanam Ramchandra Rao, the Hon'ble Minister for Major <Jc Medium Irrigation, Sri K.E.Krishna Murthy, the Mission Director, Mr.G. Ghosh, distinguished guests and dear delegates, , It is my privilege and pleasure to welcome all of you on my behalf and on behalf of Panchayati Raj Engineering Department, on the occasion of conducting "Workshop on Role of Technology in Rural Water Supply". This workshop is being conducted under the aegis of the Nagarjuna Rural Engineering Training Centre which was instituted in March, 1986 by the Government of Andhra Pradesh with matching assistance from Government of India. The basic aim being providing training facilities to the field staff of Panchayati Raj Engineering Department, the motto being "better knowledge better service". During the last one year, this institute has conducted 7 courses on varioius subjects and provided training to 187 candidates. One of the objectives of the Technology Mission set up by the Government of India for Rural Water Supply is to promote awareness through regional Seminars among the implementing agencies. The present workshop is designed to fulfil this objective, and to help speed up the working of the implementing agencies towards faster achievement of the main objectives of the Technology Mission. The workshop, apart from the . inaugural session, will have technical sessions covering the aims and objectives of Technology Mission for the first two days followed by concluding sessioin, and an open session on 2nd April, 1987. In the technical sessions, the experts from various research institutes and faculties will speak upon important issues related to various aims of Technology Mission. The open session is primarily designed to provide an impetus to the Panchayati Raj Engi- neering Department delegates to make them to react to the present day technologies and also to create a forum for expressing their views and to enhance their professional competence which is the basic require- ment for the present day professional-oriented working. Besides the technical sessions, an exhibition is also arranged to demonstrate various improved technologies in the field of rural water supply and rural sanita- tion programmes. At this stage, I would like to submit that the Government of Andhra Pradesh, has taken effective steps to solve the drinking water problem in the rural areas. At the end of Vlth Five Year Plan, we could be able to achieve the targets laid down at the national level. During the first two years of the Vllth Five Year Plan, decks are cleared for smooth sailing towards achievement of not only the Decade goals but also towards achieving the broad objectives and aims of the Techno- logy Mission for Rural Water Supply. The State has already established , IS-WA-1 a lead in the country in the field of implementation of the Technology Mission activities in Kurnool district.

  • 835 Public Access to the Beaches of Vieques, Puerto
    Coasts at the Millennium Proceedings of the 17th International Conference of The Coastal Society, Portland, OR USA PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE BEACHES OF VIEQUES, PUERTO RICO: A CONFLICT OF RECREATIONAL VERSUS MILITARY USE Eileen Alicea, University of Miami Introduction It seems unthinkable that a military enterprise would conduct target practice bombing on a small island with a large population. Yet, this is in fact the case on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques where the U.S. Navy’s activities negatively impact the civilian population and the coastal ecosystems. The conflicts between the Navy and the Viequenses as a result of this situation are myriad, boiling down to questions of basic human rights and thus reaching well beyond the matter of coastal access. This paper proposes, however, that resolution of the coastal issues can only be achieved by returning ownership of the land to the local government and its constituents for carefully planned sustainable development. Such a seemingly radical course of action may contradict the consensus-based principles of an Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) approach.1 However, reconciliation of military and recreational coastal resource users is difficult at best in ICZM. In the case of Vieques, as this case study demonstrates, integration is impossible, judging from the historical intransigence of US national security interests and the fundamental incompatibility of the two parties. Besides, existing laws and regulations, such as Federal Consistency, would disallow current naval policies and practices on the island if applied. A legal examination is included herein as further recommendation for the discontinued presence of the Navy on Vieques.
