Reforming subsidies that encourage unsustainable water use could encourage water conservation and investments in water saving technologies and practices.

We should establish a good water saving, water diversion and water using mechanism, and promote the project to give full play to its benefits

For starters, to ease some of the resource pressure, livestock producers should switch to water saving technologies, including drip irrigation. At the same time, governments and civil society groups should promote healthier diets that rely more on plant based proteins and calories.

Strengthening research and development and dissemination of new technologies are also important avenues for improving water productivity and efficiency in water consuming sectors.

The savings produced by these programs should be viewed in the context of the 90 billion per year that cities spend to build treatment plants, pipes, and other components of water infrastructure. The authors of The Urban Water Blueprint have calculated that more than 18 billion could be productively directed toward conservation activities, saving cities money and creating a new market comparable in size to the market for the water sector s existing technologies.

This will make it possible for anyone to collect life saving information and to monitor water quality conditions as they unfold.

There is also a need to intensify efforts to develop water and land related technologies for irrigation and water desalination, using solar energy technologies, and to develop pollution control measures, including integrated programmes for pest management and the control of chemical pollution.

For example water resources management and agriculture technologies that were introduced in West Africa after the 1972 drought.

We've been spending the last few decades accumulating a very powerful backlog of technologies for saving and substituting for oil, and no one had bothered to add them up before.

UNICEF will build new partnerships, especially in the private sector, to identify and develop low cost, reliable, and user friendly technologies in water supply, water quality and sanitation.

Using participant identified indicators of success, he said that water harvesting technology is one of the most desired technologies.

Yet malaria s African victims, as well as those in other parts of the world, are typically too poor to have access to these life saving technologies. A global effort, similar to the response to the Asian tsunami, could change this disastrous situation, saving more than one million lives per year.

We think about saving. We know we should be saving.

USAID projects in Egypt, India and South Africa will mobilize private sector financing for municipalities and water authorities to purchase water meters, wastewater equipment, upgraded technologies and ancillary facility services.

Less developed countries will need assistance in modern technologies for renewable energy, particularly in rural areas, water management with transfer of environmentally sound technologies (ESTs) as well as capacity building in cleaner and sustainable industrial production.

UNIDO also works on manufacturing conservation agriculture technologies, mainly water harvesting and zero tillage, bamboo and oil palm plantations and downstream oil.

The projects, upon implementation, had a positive effect on advancing Lu an City s regional scientific development, achieving rehabilitation for lakes, accelerating improvement in the water environment of drainage basins, ensuring safety in drinking water, and advancing energy saving and emission reduction.

The trouble is that the bulk of these new technologies are labor saving. They entail the replacement of low and medium skilled workers with machines operated by a much smaller number of highly skilled workers.

The sudden influx of Chinese and Indian technologies represents the browning of African technology, which has long been the domain of white Americans and Europeans who want to apply their saving hand to African problems.

With new investments in research and development, still further improvements in technologies can be achieved. Yet investments in new resource saving technologies are not being made at a sufficient scale, because market signals don t give the right incentives, and because governments are not yet cooperating adequately to develop and spread their use.

Looking ahead, the world economy will need to introduce alternative technologies that conserve energy, water, and land, or that enable us to use new forms of renewable energy (such as solar and wind power) at much lower cost than today. Many such technologies exist, and even better technologies can be developed.

Pulling water out of Monterey fog and out of the sweaty air in Atlanta, before it gets into a building, are key technologies.

Who has fed them, saving them from hunger and made them safe, saving them from fear.

Yet practical solutions are at hand, because simple and low cost technologies can address specific problems. Low farm yields can be addressed through improved seed varieties specially adapted for African conditions, combined with technologies for replenishing soil and managing water.

I. Cost saving measures

America s massive trade deficit is a direct consequence of an unprecedented shortfall of domestic saving. The broadest and most meaningful measure of a country s saving capacity is what economists call the net national saving rate the combined saving of individuals, businesses, and the government.

The United States has no compulsory saving plan, and it has an abysmally low in fact, negative personal saving rate. But the government is loath to consider a mandatory saving plan.
