Abstract The Noahic Deluge is commonly understood to have resulted from the infiltration of chaos waters into the ordered universe from two sources: one situated above the Rāqîaˁ and one underground. This interpretation does not find support in the HB and contradicts the precepts of the cosmological worldview of the ANE. According to Gen 6:17 Yahweh uses one single source of water to flood the land, referred to as הַמַּבּוּל מַיִם, “the well of waters.” There was a common belief in the ANE that there was a vast reservoir of fresh water in the underworld on the eastern horizon, beneath the palace of the sun god. The waters of Life (Ḥayya/Ea) therein, which must be distinguished from the saline primordial waters of chaos, were used for divine judgement. In spite of the consensus view that the chaos waters were permitted to enter the cosmos, not only during the Deluge but every time it rained, it is more likely that Yahweh lifted the waters of the well beneath his mountain-palace to execute justice and restore order to the land.

In countries like India there is always a scarcity for fresh water along with it polluting the available fresh water sources is a major threat. The major fresh water bodies are affected by eutrophication. It is the phenomenon in which algae forms a layer above the water surface and does not allow the sun light to enter into the water body. Due to this reason organisms which is present in the water body gets affected and the ecosystem gets damaged. The algae which are taken from the water bodies is dropped as waste in garbage or let to dry out on roads. “One man’s waste is other man’s treasure” so instead of wasting the collected algae, the algae can be used to prepare a dye which can be used to dye clothes for different uses. The collected algae are used as a raw material in an algal dying machine where the processes carried out are cleaning, drying the algae, grind it, boil them with water and other essentials, filter the residue and finally filtrate will be used to print on cloth.

Water scarcity delay the social development in the coastal arid zones of México. In these areas, fresh water can be obtained from the ocean using different methods. In this work, a design of a self-sufficient system for desalting seawater, using the sun and the wind, is applied to irrigate a small horticultural plot. A daily mean water production of 160 l was obtained from a 60 m2 solar desalter, which was supplied with seawater with an aeolian pump. Three varieties of tomatoe were assayed: ACE-55, Cherry, and Saladette. Cherry tomatoe showed the highest yield with a consumption of 45 l/plant per month. A plastic mulch was used to minimize evaporation. The system may represent an economic alternative with low-maintenance requirements for self-supplying vegetables in marginal coastal zones.

The paper summarizes the evidence of litho-, biostratigraphy and 14C dating of sedimentary sequences studied in natural outcrops and bottom deposits in small lakes, as well as data on coastal morphology in the depressions of Ekostrovskaya and Babinskaya Imandra, the southern sub-basins of Lake Imandra. Lithological, 14C and diatom data suggest that the brackish-water reservoir followed by the fresh-water one existed in the Ekostrovskaya Imandra depression during the Younger Dryas chronozone prior to 11,400cal. yr BP. The Fennoscandian Ice Sheet margin is assumed to have been located in the Lake Imandra basin, covering western Babinskaya Imandra earlier than c. 10,250 cal. yr BP. The early Holocene c. 11,400–8,500 cal. yr BP was marked by a significant westward retreat of the ice margin in the western Lake Imandra depression and adjacent areas, and an extensive fresh-water pra-Imandra Lake basin was formed there. At the end of the Preboreal, earlier than c. 9,210–8,500 cal. yr BP, the pra-Imandra Lake coastline was at least 16–18 m higher than the modern one, as can be assumed according to coastal morphology and lithostratigraphical data. The coastline of that reservoir changed, water square slightly reduced, and isolated small lakes emerged on coasts during the early Holocene.
