SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT MANAR BANWAN HASAN 3RDCLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CAN BE: 1. SPREADING THE BENEFITS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH TO ALL CITIZENS. 2. TURNING BROWN FIELDS INTO ECOLOGICALLY SOUND URBAN HOUSING PROJECTS. 3. INCREASING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR BOTH GIRLS AND BOYS. 4. INNOVATING INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES TO BE MORE ENERGY-EFFICIENT AND LESS POLLUTING. 5. INCLUDING CITIZENS AND STAKEHOLDERS IN POLICY-MAKING PROCESSES.
FACTORS GOVERNING SD: 1. POVERTY. 2. POPULATION. 3. POLLUTION. 4. PARTICIPATION 5. POLICY. 6. PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF DISASTERS.
DETERMINANTS OF SD: 1. CONSUMPTION. 2. PRODUCTION. 3. DISTRIBUTION.
In the case of consumption The issue is the use of resources beyond the reasonable limits set by nature through regeneration. For example, the forest has a regenerating capacity through both natural and artificial methods. So its limit is the sum of the two. Any logging beyond that limit is unsustainable.
UNSUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION IS CHARACTERIZED BY GROSS INEFFICIENCIES AND MISMANAGEMENT IN THE USE OF WATER, ENERGY, AND MINERALS. EXAMPLES INCLUDE LARGE-SCALE IRRIGATION PROJECTS ALONG THE INDUS RIVER IN PAKISTAN. THESE WERE DESIGNED TO INCREASE PRODUCTION, BUT BECAUSE OF FAILED OPERATING PROCEDURES AND POLICIES, VAST TRACTS OF LAND PASSED OUT OF PRODUCTION DUE TO FLOODING AND SALINITY.
