This Special Issue contains twelve articles related to the transfer of IWRM policy principles. The articles explore three dimensions of transfer-causes, processes, outcomes-and offer a theoretically inspiring, methodologically rich and geographically diverse engagement with IWRM policy transfer around the globe. As such, they can also productively inform a future research agenda on the 'dimensional' aspects of IWRM governance. Regarding the causes, the contributions apply, criticise, extend or revise existing approaches to policy transfer in a water governance context, asking why countries adopt IWRM principles and what mechanisms are in place to understand the adoption of these principles in regional or national contexts. When it comes to processes, articles in this Special Issue unpack the process of policy transfer and implementation and explore how IWRM principles travel across borders, levels and scales. Finally, this set of papers looks into the outcomes of IWRM policy transfer and asks what impact IWRM principles, once implemented, gave on domestic water governance, water quality and water supply, and how effective IWRM is at addressing critical water issues in specific countries.Governing Integrated Water Resources ManagementPhilosophybicsscagencyagricultureCambodiacatchmentconservation authoritiescoordinationdamdrinking waterdriversecosystem-based managementEnglandenvironmental governanceenvironmental narrativesenvironmental policyestuariesEU policyEU water framework directiveEuropean UnionEuropeanisationfisheries managementGermanygovernancegovernance modelsgovernmentalityHong Kongimplementationinstitutionsintegrated catchment managementintegrated scientific supportIntegrated Urban Water Managementintegrated water resources managementIntegrated Water Resources Managementintegrated water resources management (IWRM)IWRMlearninglived experienceslocal communitiesnichesnitratesocean governanceOntarioOregonoverfishingparticipationpesticidespolicy coherencepolicy implementationpolicy transferpolycentricityprocess tracingpublic participationriver basin planningscaleSingaporesustainabilitysustainable fishingtop-down and bottom-uptransitionsTurkeyUnited Kingdomurban water securityvisionsWater Framework Directivewater governancewater management regimeswater qualitywater resource managementwatershed councilsWFDPhilosophyFritsch Oliverauth1301181Benson DavidauthBOOK9910372782803321Governing Integrated Water Resources Management: Mutual Learning and Policy Transfer3025770UNINA04948nam 22007455 450 991040969360332120251116224320.0981-15-3761-510.1007/978-981-15-3761-5(CKB)4100000011233864(DE-He213)978-981-15-3761-5(MiAaPQ)EBC6200135(PPN)248393472(EXLCZ)99410000001123386420200516d2020 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBiotechnology for Biofuels: A Sustainable Green Energy Solution /edited by Nitish Kumar1st ed. 2020.Singapore :Springer Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2020.1 online resource (XI, 288 p. 49 illus., 32 illus. in color.)981-15-3760-7 Chapter 1: Biofuels: perspective for sustainable development and climate change mitigation -- Chapter 2: Nanoparticles for Sustainable Bioenergy and Biofuel Production -- Chapter 3: Bio-hydrogen: technology developments in microbial fuel cells and their future prospects -- Chapter 4: Recent Advances in Genetic Improvement of Jatropha curcas: a potent biodiesel plant -- Chapter 5: Catalytic approach for production of hydrocarbon rich bio-oil from a red seaweed species -- Chapter 6: Seaweed biomass and microbial lipids as a source of biofuel -- Chapter 7: Microbial Biofuels: an economic and eco-friendly approach -- Chapter 8: Biofuels: sources, modern technology developments and views on bioenergy management -- Chapter 9: Integrating omics and microbial biotechnology for the production of Biofuel -- Chapter 10: An Overview on Biomass of Bamboo as a Source of Bioenergy -- Chapter 11: Advances and challenges in sugarcane biofuel development. .The depletion of petroleum-derived fuel and environmental concerns have prompted many millennials to consider biofuels as alternative fuel sources. But completely replacing petroleum-derived fuels with biofuels is currently impossible in terms of production capacity and engine compatibility. Nevertheless, the marginal replacement of diesel with biofuel could delay the depletion of petroleum resources and abate the radical climate change caused by automotive pollutants. Energy security and climate change are the two major driving forces for worldwide biofuel development, and also have the potential to stimulate the agro-industry. The development of biofuels as alternative and renewable sources of energy has become critical in national efforts towards maximum self-reliance, the cornerstone of our energy security strategy. At the same time, the production of biofuels from various types of biomass such as plants, microbes, algae and fungi is now an ecologically viable and sustainable option. This book describes the biotechnological advances in biofuel production from various sources, while also providing essential information on the genetic improvement of biofuel sources at both the conventional and genomic level. These innovations and the corresponding methodologies are explained in detail.AgriculturePlant breedingEnvironmental engineeringBiotechnologyEnvironmental managementNatural resourcesAgriculturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006Plant Breeding/Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24060Environmental Engineering/Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U33000Environmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009Natural Resourceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U39000BiotecnologiathubBiomassathubEnergia de la biomassathubLlibres electrònicsthubAgriculture.Plant breeding.Environmental engineering.Biotechnology.Environmental management.Natural resources.Agriculture.Plant Breeding/Biotechnology.Environmental Engineering/Biotechnology.Environmental Management.Natural Resources.BiotecnologiaBiomassaEnergia de la biomassa662.88Kumar Nitishedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910409693603321Biotechnology for Biofuels: A Sustainable Green Energy Solution2532340UNINA
