  • A SCREENTIME Production for ABC TV They Know the Law Backwards
    A SCREENTIME production for ABC TV They know the law backwards … … but they have a lot to learn about life! As at 30.7.11 Delving into the extraordinary world of the Department of Public Prosecutions and its young eager lawyers, CROWNIES is the new 22 x 1 hour drama produced by SCREENTIME Australia for ABC TV. CROWNIES follows five young solicitors, as they face the pressures and endearing madness of modern single life - in a fast paced workplace that highlights the moral dilemmas and big issues facing an apparently civilized society. In a world that exists solely to see ‘wrong-doers’ brought to justice, and where the average age of the solicitors is 27, there is a big divide between these young solicitors and the barristers at the top. Yet they are the initial point of contact with the police, and it is they who do most of the liaising with the victims and the witnesses - and recommend what goes to court. They are committed, idealistic and hard-working, but their lives away from the office are riddled with aspirations, explorations, fragile relationships and partying. A SCREENTIME production for ABC TV Page 2 ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Currently in production, the outstanding ensemble cast includes Todd Lasance (Cloudstreet, Underbelly Files – Tell Them Lucifer Was Here, Rescue Special Ops, Home & Away) Hamish Michael (Spirited, City Homicide, Lucky Miles); Ella Scott Lynch (City Homicide, All Saints, The Falls); Andrea Demetriades (Bell Shakespeare Company, All Saints) and Indiana Evans (A Model Daughter: The Killing of Caroline Byrne, H2O

  • Global Consumptive Water Use for Crop Production: the Importance of Green Water and Virtual Water Junguo Liu,1,2 Alexander J
    WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH, VOL. 45, W05428, doi:10.1029/2007WR006051, 2009 Click Here for Full Article Global consumptive water use for crop production: The importance of green water and virtual water Junguo Liu,1,2 Alexander J. B. Zehnder,3 and Hong Yang2 Received 19 March 2007; revised 19 January 2009; accepted 24 March 2009; published 28 May 2009. [1] Over the last 4 decades the use of blue water has received increasing attention in water resources research, but little attention has been paid to the quantification of green water in food production and food trade. In this paper, we estimate both the blue and green water components of consumptive water use (CWU) for a wide range of agricultural crops, including seven cereal crops, cassava, cotton, groundnuts, potatoes, pulses, rapeseed, soybeans, sugar beets, sugarcane, and sunflower, with a spatial resolution of 30 arc min on the land surface. The results show that the global CWU of these crops amounted to 3823 km3 aÀ1 for the period 1998–2002. More than 80% of this amount was from green water. Around 94% of the world crop-related virtual water trade has its origin in green water, which generally constitutes a low-opportunity cost of green water as opposed to blue water. High levels of net virtual water import (NVWI) generally occur in countries with low CWU on a per capita basis, where a virtual water strategy is an attractive water management option to compensate for domestic water shortage for food production. NVWI is constrained by income; low-income countries generally have a low level of NVWI.
