The Problem There are many excellent environmental engineering courses addressing the problems of our times, but none provide and study a practical and potentially complete solution for these problems. Here I propose a new course in Environmental Engineering. This course can close the loop and provide insight into both the problem and the solution and… Continue reading AQUATER PAPER 5.0 A PROPOSAL FOR A NEW ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING COURSE AIMED TOWARD THE SOLUTION OF THE MOST CRITICAL PROBLEMS FACING OUR CURRENT CIVILIZATION.

The Problem In the Aquater Papers 1.1 to 2.6 various problems in sustainability and their solutions for our current static civilization were explored. Our current civilization is static in that it is limited to earth and earth resources. It was found that all goods and services required by our civilization save four appear to be… Continue reading AQUATER PAPER 4.4 RULES OF OPERATION OF AN EXPLORING CIVILIZATION

The Problem First explorations to new planetary systems will be made by single starships-probably unmanned. The loss of such an explorer would not be serious. When a promising planetary system is found, however, a group must be sent for colonization. It is proposed here that several small starships be sent as a group rather than… Continue reading AQUATER PAPER 4.3 PRACTICAL LIVING ON ROUTE AND THE AQUATER STELLAR EXPLORERS

The Problem The evidence is strong that man is changing the environment (see AP1.1 this site). The increases in average temperature, strength of storms and the number of severe weather patterns observed provide evidence of these changes. In addition, our resources are being used up at an alarming rate. Since our civilization has grown up… Continue reading AQUATER PAPER 2.10 PRACTICAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
