Australia. (Lock the Gate Alliance Ltd, 2014) Social sustainability factors including human rights, wellbeing of residence, safety, accessibility, heritage, equity and religious and cultural sensitivities are all elements which are involved in social sustainability. (Sydney, 2014). Social sustainability aims to ensure that generations of residence, have fair and accepted rights in all actions taken within their area. Environmentally sustainability involves making decisions and acting on those decisions
generations. As Johan Rockstrom says in his Ted Talk “the planetary risks we are facing are so large that business as usual is no longer an option” (Rockstrom). The rate humanity is using up the resources available is not maintainable in any way. Sustainability is a problem that in Rockstrom’s opinion is the “most challenging and exciting decade of humankind” (Rockstrom). In order to save the Earth and the sum of the lives it holds, all of mankind must come together to identify how to fix the mistakes
The purpose of this report is to understand what is sustainability, what is the role of Sustainability Victoria and its priorities in terms of integrated waste management. By focusing on two aspects of integrated waste management, material recovery and waste minimisation I will try to identify different ways for practising sustainability in everyday lives. 1.2 Aims & Objectives To define Sustainability Victoria, its role, purpose and statutory objective; To explain what is integrated waste management;
Water Quality Conservation: India is thrived with diverse geological formations from oldest Achaeans to recent alluviums and characterized by varying climatic conditions in different parts of the country. Naturally the groundwater quality is influenced by depth of soils and sub-surface geological formations through which ground water remains in contact. In general, large amount of ground water quality of the country is potable and also suitable for other purpose too. Generally the ground water in
desert. All water suppliers in the Phoenix-metro area must adhere to the regulations listed in the Assured and Adequate Water Supply Program (AAWS) of the State of Arizona. In those regulations, cities are required to replenish the same amount of groundwater that is pumped up from the aquifer. Currently the City of Goodyear recharges water into the Gila River Valley biannually with Class A+ rated reclaimed water. However the water that is pumped up from the aquifer contains contaminants such as Selenium

With environmental sustainability a key focus for the future the need for cleaner forms of power generation have resulted in a number of gas exploration projects in Australia (Department of Infrastructure and Planning, 2008). With Australia having potentially vast untapped reserves of coal seam methane beds it must be asked whether there are any negative impacts associated with coal seam methane (CSM) before the energy industry moves into a new technology. Coalification, the geologic process that
water resources but has simultaneously deteriorated the quality of urban groundwater in many cities. Groundwater has been significantly polluted in over half of China’s 660 cities. Contamination transfer through the soil is partly responsible for this. The government has finally recognised this issue and is now spending tens of billions of Yuan each year on heavy metal soil remediation and treatment of over-exploited groundwater. The Shanghai Centre for Soil Remediation was opened in 2005 to study soil
