Domestic rainwater harvesting (DRWH), an old technology, is playing a key role in meeting some objectives of the UN “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” and building resilience to climate change, particularly in the Caribbean. DRWH projects can be implemented through self-financing, government subsidies, and micro-financing or by external agencies. Most recent promotion initiatives of DRWH have emphasized funding by external agencies, often ignoring the potential financial contributions of beneficiaries. Regional experiences have shown that, generally, the high initial capital costs for DRWH systems is a major constraint. However, in some cases, success in DRWH is possible through self-financing. This study reviews the experiences of some DRWH projects or by external agencies to determine a suitable financing mechanism. This paper shows that households can self-finance DRWH systems if payments are based on 5% of household income and interest rates are less than 5%, It concludes that the product/business cycle pattern of development adequately describes the development of DRWH in some parts of the Caribbean. It is recommended that such a model should be considered in designing DRWH projects through strategic partnerships of the beneficiaries with between local and international NGOs, community based organisations and domestic financial institutions like credit unions.

Secara teoritis, praktek pengelolaan sumberdaya laut secara co-management lahir sebagai kritik terhadap pengelolaan yang bersifat sentralistik, seperti yang selama ini dipraktekkan di Indonesia dan community-based management. Kedua praktek pengelolaan sumberdaya laut ini memiliki kelemahan, yang diantaranya disebabkan oleh ketiadaan sinergi antara pemerintah dengan masyarakat (user group). Praktek co-management sebagai alternatif untuk mendorong terjadinya sinergi antar semua stakeholder terkait dalam pengelolaan sumberdaya laut. Penelitian ini mencoba mempelajari penerapan Co-fish di Kabupaten Lombok Timur- Nusa Tenggara Barat, yaitu pengelolaan sumberdaya laut yang dilakukan dengan pendekatan co-management dengan melibatkan stakeholder terkait. Bagaimana mekanisme dan dampaknya terhadap masyarakat binaannya serta bagaimana kekuatan dan kelemahannya yang didasarkan pada prinsip pendekatan co-management. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui pendekatan kualitatif. Tittle: Co-management of Marine Resource : Lesson Learnt from the Management Model of Co-Fish in Lombok Timur District, Nusa Tenggara Barat Province.Theoritically, the practice of marine resource management was created as a criticied of centralistic management wich being, that was practiced in Indonesia for a long time , and community-based management. Both of these practices of marine resource management have weaknesses, caused by the inexistance of cooperation between government and society (user group). actice of co-management is an alternative option to push a cooperation among all of related stakeholder in marine resourcemanagement. The research to study the implementation of Co-Fish in Lombok Timur District, Province of Nusa Tenggara Barat. Marine resources management was carried out by co-management approach involving related srakeholders. The mechanism and impact of the implementation of Co-fish to the society, and how the strengths and weaknesses of Co-fish based on principal of co-management approach were analsed with qualitative approach.

Generation of solid waste (SW) is a major problem in urban areas, thus its management is one of the important obligatory functions to not only urban local authority but also for the inhabitants. The citizens expressed their concerns about the waste management system in KCC and associated problems that they are encountering. Waste generation in Khulna City Corporation is around 455 tons of municipal solid waste/day and generation rate is now 0.75 Kg/capita/day on an average. Existing public utility services and facilities are not adequate to meet the demand of disposing these massive amounts of wastes and that’s why several problems are arising. There are some deterrents in the KCC’s solid waste Management system, arising from both the city corporation authority and the citizen of different levels. With a view to address the problem from through community participation, this paper intends to evaluate the potential of community based solid waste management approach in context of Khulna city.

Maintenance Plan

A team of three mechanical engineering senior undergraduate students and one faculty member designed and installed a rainwater harvesting system in the University’s student center.  After an extensive analysis of the piping system, the team was able to use existing rain leaders and piping to move all the rainwater from the third floor patio to a mechanical room located on the first level of the building.  In the mechanical room, the piping system was redesigned to route the collected water into a large storage tank.  From the tank, the rainwater was pumped into the irrigation line and used to water a large portion of the campus lawns and greenery. In addition, the system incorporated an overflow feature, a drainage line, a new pump, a flow meter to track water usage (which was previously never tracked at the University), a design where regular flushing of the system is automatic, and a maintenance plan.  The harvested rainwater could also potentially be used to fill up the University watering trucks to water the flowers, shrubs, and greenery that covers the 200-acre campus.  Students found that this community-based project opened their eyes to sustainability, the environment, and was rewarding work.

Loss of wildlife, encroachment on wild lands and conflicts between protected areas and neighbouring communities continue to threaten the integrity of protected areas (PAs) in Uganda. To increase support from local communities and ensure long-term sustainability for Uganda's PAs, a policy of community-based conservation was introduced in 1988 as a management approach in seven PAs. The effectiveness of the community-based approach for reducing threats was compared to conventional PA management by conducting a threat reduction assessment at 16 PAs, seven with community-based approaches and nine without. Additional data collected using document reviews, interviews with government officials, and surveys of PA wardens were compared with the threat reduction assessments. Twenty-three primary threats were identified at PAs. Local game poaching was the most common threat. The threat reduction assessment indices of community-based PAs (mean=49.0±12) were not significantly different from those of conventional PAs (mean=37.96±21.6). Some specific threats, such as bush burning, logging, encroachment and unclear boundaries, seemed to be better mitigated at community-based PAs. Management approaches at all PAs mitigated fewer than half of the identified threats. Management approaches are needed that directly target PA threats, go beyond PA boundaries by involving additional government departments, link people's livelihoods to conservation efforts and strengthen PA institutions.
