This chapter looks at the obligation not to cause significant pollution to other states sharing freshwater resources, and of the emerging obligation to protect the ecosystems of international watercourses. While problems of water pollution have perhaps received more attention in the literature, it seems probable that the protection of watercourse ecosystems is of wider significance, in terms of geography, meeting basic human needs, and sustainable development. Sustainable development was endorsed at the 1992 Earth Summit as the proper approach to reconciling economic development with protection of the environment. It aims at ensuring that economic development will not exhaust the very resources on which it, and human welfare itself, depend. Clean water and healthy aquatic ecosystems are cornerstones of this effort. International law has now progressed to the point that it protects those values.

Basic Necessity

Water is the basic necessity of every living thing on earth. Humans depend on water not only for meeting domestic household needs but also for needs such as production needs, industrial needs and other needs. The need for clean water is the amount of water that will be used fairly for basic human needs (domestic) and other activities that require water. The hospitality industry is a commercially managed business. This study aims to determine the impact of the use of clean water that occurs during the construction and operation of the Grand Sagara West Surabaya Hotel on Tambak Wedi Village in the next 10 years. The need for clean water for Tambak Wedi Village in 2019 prior to the construction and operation of the Grand Sagara West Surabaya Hotel is 0.0566 m³ / sec, whereas after construction and operation in 2029 is 0.1118 m³ / sec. So, the amount of clean water discharge in Tambak Wedi Urban Village that must be fulfilled by the PDAM in Surabaya in 2029 is 0.0288 m³ / sec. Clean water, water needs, water discharge, hotel, PDAM Surabaya city.

Density Soekarno Hatta airport has exceeded the capacity of causing the government is trying to provide other airports mempu support aviation activities. Development of airports in Karachi is a top priority among several other areas, because these areas are located not too far to the center of government, industrial centers, and trade center of Indonesia, the Jabodetabek. In addition, with the availability of large tracts of land, the development plan to form an airport aerotropolis can be realized. Activity flight services at an airport can not be separated from the basic human needs for clean water. Planning jetting water at an airport is necessary to consider the estimated number of passengers, introduction and pickup, the estimated number of restaurants, and a mosque. From the analysis the use of quantitative methods in accordance with SKEP 347/XII/99, it can be concluded that the need to prepare the provision of clean water flow at least as much as 392,220 liters per day when the new airport in Karachi operation. Therefore, when the planned maximum speed economy by SKEP 347/XII/99 was 2.5 m /sec, the pipe diameter (d) what is needed is 15:48 cm.Keywords: discharge, diameter, flow velocity Kepadatan Bandar Udara Soekamo Hatta yang telah melebihi kapasitas menyebabkan pemerintah berusaha untuk menyediakan bandar udara lain yang mempu mendukung aktifitas penerbangan. Pembangunan bandar udara di Karawang merupakan prioritas utama diantara beberapa area yang lain, karena area ini berlokasi tidak terlalu jauh dengan pusat pemerintahan, pusat industri, dan pusat perdagangan Indonesia, yaitu Jabodetabek. Selain itu, dengan ketersediaan lahan yang luas, maka rencana pengembangan hingga terbentuk bandar udara aerotropolis dapat diwujudkan. Aktifitas pelayanan penerbangan di suatu bandar udara tidak lepas dari kebutuhan pokok manusia terhadap air bersih. Perencanaan pengaliran air bersih di suatu bandar udara ini perlu mempertimbangkan perkiraan jumlah penumpang, pengantar dan penjemput, perkiraan jumlah restaurant, dan mushola. Dari hasil analisis yang memanfaatkan metode kuantitif sesuai dengan SKEP 347 /XII/ 99, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa perlu dipersiapkan penyediaan aliran air bersih minimal sebanyak 392.220 liter perhari apabila bandar udara baru di Karawang beroperasi. Oleh sebab itu bila direncanakan kecepatan maksimum ekonomis menurut SKEP 347 /XII/99 adalah 2,Sm / detik, maka diameter pipa (d) yang dibutuhkan adalah 15.48 cm. Kata kunci: debit, diameter, kecepatan aliran

The purpose of this article is to examine Sino-Italian political and economic cooperation. The first part of the paper reviews the still ongoing process of China`s ambitions to present itself as a 'non-Other' to the international society by carrying out economic development and political opening and offering the Belt and Road Initiative to international partners. However, Beijing still faces (un)justified accusation that it affects the implementation of the already established norms, principles and procedures of the international law, sustainable development, geopolitical order, and geoeconomic distribution of wealth. For the purpose of this research, our focus will be on Italian understanding of the maritime perspective of the Belt and Road Initiative. The second part examines tools that the two countries use for overcoming obstacles to political and economic cooperation, whilst striving not just to widen and strengthen mutual trust, sincerity, and pragmatism, but to protect national interests as well.

Biomass Availability

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, guide societies to achieve a better and more sustainable future. Depleting fossil fuels and climate change will strongly increase the demand for biomass, as governments shift towards bioeconomies. Though research has estimated future biomass availability for bioenergetic uses, the implications for sustainable development have hardly been discussed; e.g., how far the estimates account for food security, sustainability and the satisfaction of basic human needs, and what this implies for intragenerational equity. This research addresses the gap through a systematic literature review and our own modeling. It shows that the biomass models insufficiently account for food security; e.g., by modeling future food consumption below current levels. The available biomass, if fairly distributed, can globally replace fossil fuels required for future material needs but hardly any additional energy needs. To satisfy basic human needs, the material use of biomass should, therefore, be prioritized over bioenergy. The different possibilities for biomass allocation and distribution need to be analyzed for their potential negative implications, especially for the poorer regions of the world. Research, society, business and politicians have to address those to ensure the ’leave no one behind´ commitment of the SDGs.

Although volumes are now written about basic human needs, few of them issue from the subjects of those needs: the desperately poor. And a recent Third World document warns that:While the satisfaction of basic human needs of the people, and the eradication of mass poverty must have a high priority in economic and social development, the idea is unacceptable and erroneous that these goals can be achieved without the all-round and comprehensive economic development of the developing countries and the establishment of the New International Economic Order.

Water is a natural resource that becomes the basic human needs. The city of Lubuklinggau every day provides the need for clean water to the community through PDAM Regional company Tirta Bukit Sulap. Clean water production is based on the analysis of water consumption by the community every month in advance. So, there is often a clean water delivery due to lack of clean water production. Also, the need for clean water will always increase with the increasing customer every month. Therefore, to be able to ensure the availability of clean water in the city of Lubuklinggau then need to be analyzed to predict the need for clean water in the city of each him is by applying data mining for prediction of needs Clean water by using simple linear regression algorithms. By applying data mining, clean water needs can be predicted for the next few years, making it easier for decisionmakers to determine the volume of clean water produced. So the public can utilize clean water according to the needs.

Education In Brazil

This article presents an approach between education for sustainable development (ESD) based on the concept of sustainable development (SD) and the main concepts of environmental education (EE) in Brazil. In these approaches, the theoretical fundamentals of these conceptions of EE were analysed with a view to the possibility of promoting ESD through an educational process considered as a result of social relations that con- template the historical, social, economic and political dimensions of the subjects. It was verified that some conceptions of EE may be approaches to ESD and others incompatible due to the critical process of analysis of the relations between society and nature. The possibility of an ESD with aspects that enable the understanding of the contradictions of capitalism in order to promote changes and obtain a society focused on the basic human needs that allow an environmental balance was also considered.

AbstractThe WTO Secretariat describes sustainable development as a central WTO principle. Relevant international law treaties have declared sustainable development's mutual supportiveness with trade liberalization, and also emphasized the need to balance its ‘pillars’: economic development, often equated with trade liberalization, with environmental conservation and social welfare. While ‘mutual supportiveness’ suggests that sustainable development's environmental and social goals are a side effect of trade liberalization, ‘balancing’ involves weighing these different goals, and prompts the difficult question of which are most important, and who is empowered to decide. This paper traces these two broad theoretical conceptions through WTO legal texts, negotiations and dispute settlement, arguing that they have important pragmatic implications. In particular, to create mutual supportiveness WTO Director-General, Pascal Lamy, has stated the need for adequate domestic policies, suggesting that the WTO should support these. Yet, if they have negative trade impacts, pure ‘sustainable development’ policies may be difficult to balance against the WTO obligation to liberalize trade.
