AMD and a Sustainable Future for South Africa?. .This SpringerBrief focuses on Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) in the three basins in the Witwatersrand, South Africa. It provides a background to AMD and its impactsfrom a social science perspective.The South African government and non-governmental organizations’ response to AMD is assessed, as well the socio-economic and developmental effects of AMD. This volume, which is based on the author’s Master’s dissertation at UNISA, involves interviews with a range of experts in the field from government departments, environmental organisations (activists), the private sector (mining), tourism sector and the agricultural sector. The book discusses existing policy documents on AMD and provides recommendations in response to the many socio-economic impacts which have not been fully addressed. A literature review on the global context of AMD is provided. South Africa’s water systems are already severely harmed by climate change, different forms of pollution, and poorly managed sanitation systems. For these reasons, the country is becoming increasingly water-stressed and therefore, water will continue to become much scarcer in the future. As a result of AMD’s continued impact on South Africa’s water systems, as a technical or scientific matter as well as the policy implications for the mining sector, water security and socio-economic sustainability has become a highly contested issue.SpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,2191-5547Water pollutionEnvironmental healthSustainable developmentEnvironmental sociologyEconomic developmentWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollutionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35040Environmental Healthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U18005Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Environmental Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22160Development Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913000Water pollution.Environmental health.Sustainable development.Environmental sociology.Economic development.Waste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.Environmental Health.Sustainable Development.Environmental Sociology.Development Studies.333.7Naidoo Suvaniaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1064708BOOK9910136620003321Acid Mine Drainage in South Africa2540306UNINA03769nam 22007095 450 991040970340332120230822194927.0981-13-0596-X10.1007/978-981-13-0596-2(CKB)4100000010770765(MiAaPQ)EBC6133773(DE-He213)978-981-13-0596-2(EXLCZ)99410000001077076520200312d2020 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierHandbook of the History of Money and Currency /edited by Stefano Battilossi, Youssef Cassis, Kazuhiko Yago1st ed. 2020.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2020.1 online resource (1,086 pages) illustrationsSpringer Reference981-13-0595-1 Includes bibliographical references and index.Primitive and Non-metallic Money -- Monetary System of Ancient Asia: China -- Monetary System of the Ancient Regime -- Medieval Debasement and Seigniorage -- Gresham's Law -- Flows of Precious Metals and Prices in Europe -- Rise and Decline of the Global Silver Standard -- Money, Trade, and Payments in Pre-industrial Europe -- Money Markets and Exchange Rates in Pre-industrial Europe.This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art research in the field of monetary and financial history.
