Microplastics with particle size less than 5 mm are becoming a raising global environmental crisis. These pollutants were found from the poles to the equator, in continental shelves, coasts and in the oceans, moreover, they have also been identified in the water columns, sediments and even in a variety of organisms.

The most important types of abiotic stress that affect agricultural crops throughout the world are drought and salinity. These stresses will continue to worsen as the current climate crisis progresses. Plants have evolved a complex set of mechanisms in order to protect themselves from salt and drought. At the macrobiological level, these include alterations in growth rate, water balance, antioxidant defenses, and photosynthesis.

Water availability for agriculture in the country is projected to go down to around 70 per cent by 2025 which undoubtedly will limit the country’s capacity to provide expected food security. Under this water crisis scenario, grey water - an alternate source to supplement the overall water use is the need of hour. Characterization of grey water with special reference to key water quality parameters signifies immense importance for further reutilization so far the water productivity is concerned.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is the most important fourth largest cereal crop of world after maize, wheat and rice in the world with a share of 7% of the global cereal production. The crop is considered as poor man’s crop and better adaptable to problematic soils and marginal lands. Among the various production inputs, water is the most crucial in agriculture especially under limited water availability. Further, the growing demand of water for industries, house hold consumption and other uses is likely to create water crisis in agriculture.

The cultivated species of Peanut (Arachis hypogea) and Soybean (Glycine max) belong to family Leguminosae. Leguminous crops have been cultivated since ancient times. Globally, Peanut and Soybean are the two most important oil-yielding leguminous crops. Yields of both Peanut and Soybean are lower in Asia than in developed countries. These low yields are due to a number of biotic and abiotic constraints. Hence, in order to increase crop yield per unit area, largely chemical fertilizers are used.

Over the preceding years and to date, the definitive mode of human infection by Helicobacter pylori has remained largely unknown and has thus gained the interest of researchers around the world. Numerous studies investigated possible sources of transmission of this emerging carcinogenic pathogen that colonizes >50% of humans, in many of which contaminated water is mentioned as a major cause. The infection rate is especially higher in developing countries, where contaminated water, combined with social hardships and poor sanitary conditions, plays a key role.

In the business sector, real investment in equipment and software rose at an annual rate of more than 20 percent over the first half of the year. Some of these gains no doubt reflected spending that had been deferred during the crisis, including investments to replace or update existing equipment. Consequently, investment in equipment and software will almost certainly increase more slowly over the remainder of this year, though it should continue to advance at a solid pace. In contrast, outside of a few areas such as drilling and mining, business investment in structures has...

However, the situational analysis shows that in some regions rates of chronic and acute malnutrition remain high even outside of times of crisis, with multi factorial underlying causes. These underlying causes include: sub optimal infant, young child and maternal feeding and care practices, poor dietary diversity, inadequate water and sanitation and high morbidity coupled with poor access to and utilisation of health services.

In recent years, the international community has paid attention to the water quality problem, especially since Agenda 21, which is the action plan to protect the environment, was adopted in 1992 (WHO/UNEP 1997: 10.1.1). In addition, in the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, one of the goals is to ‘reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water’ (United Nations 2000). It has been internationally acknowledged that water problems are at a crisis point for human life as well as the environment.

Economic development, population growth, and environmental pollution evolving in many parts of the world are placing great demands on existing resources of fresh water and reflecting a "water crisis". Resource management, efficient utilization of the water resources, and above all water purification are all alternatives to resolve the water crisis. Purification approaches include traditional approaches that have lasted for several centuries without major modifications as well as new innovative approaches....

Outside the US, Europe and Japan, the channels of propagation of the crisis were different. Emerging market economies that had strengthened their banks’ capital levels in the aftermath of banking crises in the 1990s experienced no financial crisis per se. There were, however, knock-on effects through other channels. Along with the disruption to global financial markets, for example, came a decline in cross-border financial flows and a collapse in exports. We start by looking at the growth experience across an array of countries over the period.

Northern China has long-standing water scarcity problems. In September 2008, after four-plus years of construction on a $2 billion 191-mile waterway, the city of Beijing began receiving water from the less populated southern regions of China. While the North-South pipeline will briefly ease the region’s water shortages, the Chinese government’s official news agency recently said the capital’s water supply could again reach a crisis point as early as 2010 due to population growth and rising domestic water consumption.

The authors contend that cost recovery has far-reaching implications for access to services, affordability and privatisation. At a theoretical level, the book explores ways of reversing the insidious effects of commodification, the role of the market in shaping service delivery, and the way we ’value’ essential goods such as water. These issues are of increasing importance internationally as governments around the world move more aggressively toward full cost recovery measures.

Major health problems in Myanmar, which are most likely to be exacerbated by this crisis, relate predominantly to communicable diseases (malaria, dengue, measles) and malnutrition, especially in children. As of 2003, 40% of children under five were assessed as being stunted, indicating chronic malnutrition and 10% as being wasted (acute malnutrition) (UNICEF). Major causes of death are usually due to malaria, respiratory and diarrhoeal diseases.
