High population growth; large for profit corporations; and lack of enforcement for conservation programs; among other things, threaten the sustainability of clean water resources, onshore and off. With the use of an integrated management program people can develop a sustained use of coastal resources and perpetual maintenance initiatives. Sustainable development encourages social well-being along with economic prosperity while minimizing the impact on the ecosystem. With a plan that is tailored to meet the needs of local residents and the needs of the environment, the processes can create a level of cohabitation between man and nature. Through the processes of arrangement, coordination, and review; coastal development can be utilized in a manner that provides a benefit to the people and the environment. Arrangement involves a detailed plan for development and resource protection, including policies, goals, legal authorization and an enforcement mechanism. Coordination with governing agencies; including permit issuers and inspectors; will insure the safety of the resources. Review; including an environmental impact assessment and a review mechanism; insures that the arrangement and coordination have been successfully...

...Water Resource Plan Evelyn Hillard University of Phoenix My selection of water resource is water pollution. This is cause by different problem when we dump garage, chemicals in the water, oil, and human waste in rivers and ocean. Water pollution have many different causes it makes it hard sometimes to resolve this issue. Sewage is one of the main causes of water pollution. This type of water pollution affects our lives in many ways. Over billions of people on this earth dispose of sewage waste a lot. When you dispose of sewage in any lakes, rivers, and ocean it takes a affect on our health and living condition. Many people do not realize that water pollution is very important and many people can get sick from it. I believe a good management plan will alleviate the problem of water pollution. Water pollution needs to have strict laws of waste and fuel dumping. They need certain people to go out and do testing on these lakes, rivers, and ocean to make sure that no one is dumping anything into the water. We should also have a machine that clean the water every so often. Making sure that it will collect all the trash and waste. The government needs to make s person pay a fine if they get caught polluting the water. I do not understand of where anyone should have a opposing view of water pollution. My view will be making sure that this world stop polluting the water. This problem is for our safety...

...Week 6 Assignment Water Resource Plan Jeff White SCI275 January 22, 2012 Week 6 Assignment Water Resource Plan Groundwater consists of surface water of lakes and streams and the underground aquifers that feed them. Because groundwater is believed to be infinitely renewable in many areas of the world, the threat to it is not recognized. This is extremely dangerous because, in reality, groundwater cannot be naturally replenished and plans must be formed to protect it. Many above ground reservoirs that are used as municipal water sources are feed by what are classified as “fossil aquifers”. These aquifers hold water that is, in some cases, hundreds of thousands of years old and they are minimally recharged if at all by surface precipitation that must penetrate hundreds of feet to reach the aquifer. It is estimated that up to 30% of water can be removed from lakes, rivers, and aquifers and not adversely affect the replenishment rate. Based on declining world precipitation estimates and with current and future municipal water consumption, there is no way these water sources can survive indefinitely. One of the key elements of insuring that groundwater will be available in the future is by developing a replenishment plan. Because of the precipitation estimates, natural replenishment seems unreliable and therefore a human methodical process must be employed to make wastewater, meaning municipally treated water that just goes down the drain, useable again. This is known as...

...------------------------------------------------- Water Resource Plan SCI/275 October 6, 2013 Katrina Baron October 6, 2013 Katrina Baron The issue of freshwater pollution is a serious level of concern. The Environmental Protection Agency has projected that water pollution will be as high in 2025 as it was in 1968, which is before the passage of the Clean Water Act. We must comprehend the problems and become part of the resolution in order to combat this pollution. There are many different types of water pollution, with that being said the quality and quantity of our clean freshwater resources are depleting. The water pollution is not just a local issue but rather a global problem that does require serious attention in order for the cleanup of these contaminates to be anywhere near successful. According to Pielou, (1998) “The UN reports that one person in six lives without regular access to safe drinking water.” There are many essential changes that are needed that are not going to come easily. We need to remember that water is essential to the survival of all living things. We need to do everything we can to maintain the quality of clean water. The world today has various categories of water pollution that affects it. We do recognize this reality, but humans still ignore this problem by polluting the rivers and lakes. Many humans throw their trash into the lakes and rivers when they are fishing and camping. The main contributors of water pollution are classified as municipal...

...Chesapeake Bay Water Pollution and Restoration Mitigation Plan Emmett J. Nixon Axia College 2009 Chesapeake Bay Water Pollution and Restoration Mitigation Plan Detailed description of the problem: For over 300 years, the Chesapeake Bay water system has sustained the area’s economy and defined its traditions and culture (Chesapeake Bay Program Preamble, 2000). As the most biologically diverse estuary in the U.S., over 3600 species of fish, plants and animals make the Bay their home. Land uses in 1990 in the 166,000 square kilometer watershed are estimated to be 57% forest, 16% cropland, 8% pasture, 18% urban or developed land, and 1% of land in rivers and lakes (Chesapeake Bay Program, Linker, L.C., Shenk, G.W., Dennis, R.L., and Sweeney, J.S. (1999). Water pollution makes most people think of factories and industries dumping toxic chemicals and other contaminants into the Chesapeake Bay. In reality, the main pollutants are excess amounts of nitrogen, and phosphorous. These nutrients enter the Bay from a variety of sources and cause an explosion of algae growth and sediment. Airborne nitrogen reaches the land through air deposition and chemical contaminants. An overabundance of suspended sediment from erosion is the main factor for water stress and poor aquatic life in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Protection of its natural and man-made infrastructures is essential over the long-term as indicated in the illustration below...

...company and being heard. A company should have strong morals and values and think highly of its employees and employers. A company should be social responsible; which on an ethical framework an organization or individual has an obligation to act for the benefit of society at large. Social responsibility is a duty every individual has to perform in order to maintain a balance with the economy and ecosystems. Air quality, water quality and materials used for production have an effect on heath. (Sustainable measures.com) Employees want to be appreciated and the more they feel this way the more eagerly he/she engages in the company by being more productive and teamwork. If the employee needs to take time off; for example a pregnant woman about to have a baby, a family member dies, the employer should respectively allow the time needed to take care of the circumstances. Every corporation has a strategy. Strategy decisions affect what line of business a company is in, how it operates internally; who it serves and how it serves as well. Strategic plans act as a roadmap that helps businesses to achieve the overall vision of their owners and top level executive in practical ways. Changing an organizations strategy can change the way an organization operates; altering everything from the organizational structure to the daily routines of the employees. Changing a corporate strategy can be broken down into four steps: planning, implementing, monitoring and review. In the planning...

...the debate over the prescriptive and emergent approaches for developing strategy followed by the main strengths and weaknesses of the article. The article uses experiences of a craftsman and a potter to develop an argument that the crafting image better captures the process by which effective strategies come to be than the formal planning (Mintzberg, 1987). Mintzberg stresses a strategy is actualized through the processes of learning, negotiation, and proposes that the distinction between planning and implementation is untenable (Mintzberg, 1990). “Openness of emergent strategy enables management to act before everything is fully understood-to respond to an evolving reality rather than having to focus on a stable fantasy.” (Mintzberg, Waters 1985). Emergent strategy is therefore described as a trial and error approach which allows amendments, rather than one fix objective, as in prescriptive strategy (Downs et al 2003). Mintzberg thus believes that the errors made when crafting strategies could become opportunities (Mintzberg 1987). As seen in the example of Honda, emergent strategy works well in uncertain times and more difficult market conditions. Also, It can be perceived that emergent strategy allows a more flexible approach than the planning system as a whole, it allows for a more creative and responsive process. Idenburg (1993)...

...the students should be properly motivated. This is no means an easy task. The program is also an opportunity. It is probably the principal tool which help us improve education in the present situation when financial resources are so scarce and the need is so urgent. Characteristics of an Institutional Plan Institutional plans are not a charter of additional demands. Their primary objective is to make the best utilization of existing resources and, from this point of view, they emphasize human efforts rather than additional money investment. Institutional plans must be broad-based and democratic. They must involve everyone concerned- the principal, teachers, parents and students. A good educational plan must be known to all- the supervisor, the teacher, and whenever necessary, to parents and students; that it must be able to secure their full cooperation and that it must assign specific responsibilities and duties to each teacher and other school officials. Institutional plans must be practical and realistic rather than utopian or over-ambitious. For educational plans, our motto should be: “not high aim but failure is a crime.” We do not mind how small a plan a teacher prepares. Let somebody say, “I want to improve the handwriting of my children.” What you decide to do is immaterial. But once you decide to do something, we will not accept any excuse for failure. This is what we have to insist upon doing things with dignity, with pride in oneself and with success...

...vision well. If one focuses too much on the activities often the vision is lost, likewise if the focus on the vision is too intense then the operational matters are neglected resulting in across the board problems in personnel, quality, poor productivity, and so on. Indeed, ask any manager to define his or her idea of strategy and one will invariably be given a raft of answers as the person struggles to differentiate between corporate strategy and operational planning. Thus whilst one may be given the answer that the “corporate strategy” is to improve quality over a 2 year period to such and such a standard, the answer one is getting relates not to strategy but to an operational plan. Indeed over the past decade, many companies have greatly improved their production performance by implementing operational plans that have reduced inefficiencies, improved quality and greatly enhanced productivity. All these things increase competitiveness but they do so on the same...
