The NSW Roadside Environment Committee (REC) helps manage NSW's linear reserve environments like roadsides, stock routes, and rail corridors, which cover around two-thirds of the state's land area. The REC provides support and resources to managers of these areas, promotes best practices, and educates the community on their importance. It aims to achieve high quality and consistent environmental management across NSW's linear reserves by engaging stakeholders and addressing management issues. The REC helps develop Roadside Vegetation Management Plans and provides services, resources, and contacts to support the management of linear reserve environments.Green Communities Guide - Conference 2009 (C3)

Roadside environments in New South Wales cover around 6% of the state's area and provide important habitat for biodiversity. They are managed by Roads and Maritime Services for main roads and local councils for minor roads. Best practice management involves assessing the conservation value of roadsides, planning management actions, implementing those actions, and monitoring their effectiveness in a continuous cycle. Key implementation actions include appropriate maintenance, community education, and restoration projects tailored to high, medium, and low conservation value roadsides. Signage is used to identify areas requiring special care or management.Nirpc's 2040 plan & status of implementation project slides

A presentation to the 2015 Works Conference run by the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia held in Parramatta, NSW, Australia on 19-20 May 2015. A clear zone is the width of roadside that is made available for an errant vehicle to take corrective action in an emergency. However, many roadsides have important biodiversity and thus the safety requirements (clear zones) must be resolved with environments. Research initiated by the NSW Roadside Environment Committee provides guidance and a tool for land managers to balance safety and the environment.2021-22 Annual Report of the NSW Roadside Environment Committee

This document discusses opportunities and challenges for richer river environments through ecological restoration. It outlines that river restoration aims to restore natural river functioning and provides ecosystem services. Existing policies like the Water Framework Directive and Habitats Directive support some restoration but it is typically small in scale and focused on specific goals. The document calls for more innovative, landscape-scale restoration that provides multiple benefits and complements water management. It suggests leveraging agricultural policies and developing green infrastructure to advance restoration goals. Challenges include ensuring policy cross-compliance, implementation support through incentives and capacity building, and quantifying costs and benefits.CWSC Chairs' Presentation to Planning Board

A presentation conducted by Mrs Joanne Leach, University of Birmingham.
Presented on Wednesday the 2nd of October 2013.
Infrastructure forms the framework within which modern societies operate both at the physical and social level. It
includes (amongst others) digital, green and social infrastructures, emergency services and food networks as well as water, energy, waste and transport. In 2012 Liveable Cities, a 5-year research programme, combining the Universities of Birmingham, Lancaster, Southampton and UCL, was established to identify and test radical engineering interventions that will lead to liveable cities of the future (low carbon, resource secure cities in which societal wellbeing is prioritised). This paper presents a discussion of what comprises a truly liveable city and how it might be achieved. It presents the City Analysis Framework, a technique for the analysis of city operations that establishes a hierarchy of needs relevant to successfully achieving a liveable city. The results reflect the changing perceptions and importance of infrastructure
and how proposed changes can radically alter peoples lifestyle and wellbeing.Massachusetts_Ocean_Plan.ppt

Dust-suppressing chemicals provide an effective means to control dust dispersion by binding particles, retaining moisture, or forming protective crusts. This paper explores the mechanisms, working principles, market trends, and future directions of dust suppression technology. Advancements in eco-friendly formulations, nanotechnology applications, and automated dispensing systems are expected to drive the industry's evolution. The market for dust suppressants is expanding due to regulatory mandates and increasing awareness of environmental and occupational health standards. The analysis highlights the major application areas where dust-suppressing chemicals are essential for maintaining operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Dust-suppressing chemicals function by altering the surface tension of dust particles and binding them together, thereby reducing their ability to become airborne. These chemicals can work through different mechanisms, including:

Inland fisheries are the main source of protein and vital nutrients for many communities. However, these fisheries have several challenges, such as ectoparasites, and their detrimental effect on the food security and financial stability of those who depend on them. Ectoparasite infestations significantly negatively affect the profitability and standard of living of fish farmers since they can lower fish yields and quality overall. In the Bontanaga and Golinga reservoirs in northern Ghana, ectoparasite infestations of O. niloticus (Nile tilapia) and C. gariepinus (African catfish) were investigated for prevalence and variation. The study emphasizes how ectoparasites affect fish health, influencing regional economy and food security. The study discovered that the infestation rates of the different species and reservoirs varied. In general, the infestation rates of C. gariepinus were greater in Bontanga and Golinga, at 76% and 48.9%, respectively, than in O. niloticus, at 61.5% and 38.4%. The temperature and dissolved oxygen levels in Bontanga reservoir (28.50C and 6.8 mg/l) and Golinga reservoir (26.30C and 5.4 mg/l) were found to be statistically different at p < 0.05. In both reservoirs, there was a significant association (p < 0.05) between the ectoparasite prevalence and the water quality indicators. Seasons and water quality characteristics differed in the incidence of ectoparasites, highlighting the necessity for efficient management techniques to lessen these parasitic risks.
