Many communities in Honduras do not have organized public solid waste collection and disposal services. This study addressed waste management in two Garífuna communities on the north coast. Their people use a variety of management and disposal
strategies. The different pathways for the solid waste depend on the nature of the refuse (harmless, dangerous, or reusable) and which environment is deemed appropriate. A. found household-level waste management practices to be logical and effective. - (SLD)
Emerging from sewage and waste : a postmodern landscape
California ; Facilities ; Polluted water ; Post-modernism ; United States of America ; Viability ; Waste
The presidential address to the Association of Pacific coast geographers (Spokane, 12 September 1997) is a call to geographers to study sewage and waste as they are used to construct postmodern landscapes. Numerous examples of creative after-uses
of sewage and waste in southern California and elsewhere are provided. - (SLD)
Author purports to fill a lacuna in the gendered analysis of waste-related reform efforts. Article illustrates how women reformers used municipal housekeeping to influence garbage collection and disposal, especially in and around poor neighborhoods
The geomorphic model, SIBERIA, is calibrated on hydrologic and erosion data collected by a combination of monitoring and rainfall simulation experiments on the waste rock dumps of Ranger. This model is used to predict the evolution of the proposed
Part II of this volume I with 4 chapters : compaction and surface sealing; the use of agrochemicals, manure and organic wastes; effects of polluted air and water; effects of mining industries and disposal sites.

Extensive and higly contaminated mud deposits in side arms of the river Saale are one of the greatest environmental problems within the city of Halle. Previous investigations took these mud deposits for sedimentated waste water solids mainly origin
, groundwater over-exploitation, and water pollution have caused a series of environmental problems in the area. The best way to meet increasing water demands of human activities is to raise efficiency of water resources use. Waste water discharge should
, and are composed of matrix-supported diamictons. Their wide distribution implies that the region was treeless during the late Wisconsin maximum. Present discontinuities in these and other periglacial features suggest wasting of ice-rich fill in upland valleys
to mechanical weathering and to the rapid geomorphological changes that affected glacial and paraglacial sedimentary cover after the retreat of the ice. The valley slopes were destabilized by mass wasting (earthflow and mudflow), which was was the predominant
