Every year, recovery from droughts and floods costs billions of dollars, and we spend billions more on irrigation, dams, sanitation plants, and other feats of engineering. We have reached a tipping point: massive engineering is not only hurting the environment, but unraveling social and political stability. What if the answer was not control of the water cycle, but replenishment?  The author takes readers around the world to explore water projects that work with, rather than against, nature’s rhythms. In New Mexico, forest rehabilitation is safeguarding drinking water, keeping it clear of the black sludge that raged down riverbeds in the aftermath of the Las Conchas Fire. Along the Mississippi River, farmers are planting cover crops to reduce polluted runoff while improving their yields. In China, “sponge cities” are capturing rainwater to curb urban flooding and boost water supplies.   It is efforts like these will be essential for the security of our food, communities, and economies in the coming decades. As climate change disrupts both weather patterns and the models on which we base our infrastructure, we will be forced to adapt. The question is whether we will continue to fight the water cycle, endangering ourselves and the planet, or recognize our place in it and take advantage of the inherent services nature offers. Water is a gift, the source of life itself. How will we use this greatest of gifts?EcologyEnvironmental policyWaterHydrologyEnvironmental SciencesEnvironmental PolicyWaterEcology.Environmental policy.Water.Hydrology.Environmental Sciences.Environmental Policy.Water.333.7Postel Sandraauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut136244BOOK9910254017503321Replenish2508065UNINA03013nam 22006375 450 991029987140332120251113182418.03-319-68684-410.1007/978-3-319-68684-4(CKB)4100000000881549(DE-He213)978-3-319-68684-4(MiAaPQ)EBC5113684(PPN)258866764(PPN)220126844(EXLCZ)99410000000088154920171025d2018 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMacroergonomics for Manufacturing Systems An Evaluation Approach /by Arturo Realyvásquez Vargas, Aide Aracely Maldonado-Macias, Jorge Luis García-Alcaraz1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2018.1 online resourceManagement and Industrial Engineering,2365-05403-319-68683-6 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.Macroergonomics in Manufacturing Systems -- Macroergonomic Compatibility Factors -- Macroergonomic Compatibility Index for Manufacturing Systems.This book introduces the main concepts of manufacturing systems and presents several evaluation approaches for these systems' evaluation. The relevant macroergonomics methods are summarized and the theoretical framework for Macroergonomic Compatibility construct is explained. This book presents a Macroergonomic Compatibility Model which proposes an instrument in the form of a Macroergonomic. The authors introduce a methodology to obtain a novel Macroergonomic Compatibility Index that enables manufacturing companies to assess and follow their progress on the implementation of macroergonomics practices.Management and Industrial Engineering,2365-0540Industrial engineeringProduction engineeringIndustrial organizationProduction managementIndustrial and Production EngineeringIndustrial OrganizationProductionIndustrial engineering.Production engineering.Industrial organization.Production management.Industrial and Production Engineering.Industrial Organization.Production.620.82Realyvasquez Arturo1984-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1784245Maldonado-Macias Aide Aracelyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autGarcía-Alcaraz Jorge Luisauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299871403321Macroergonomics for Manufacturing Systems4462519UNINA
