Did anything come out of Rio Earth Summit? Robert Whelan, of the Committee on Population and the Economy, claims that it produced a farrago of nonsense.

A se?rie Do rio, ainda em desenvolvimento, foi iniciada em 2006 de maneira intuitiva, sem planos, projeto ou pauta. Produzidas durante os peri?odos em que vivi e viajei pelo Estado do Amazonas, estas fotogra as sa?o um meio que encontrei para expressar minhas experie?ncias e sensac?o?es acerca da magia dos rios e de sua in ue?ncia direta no modo de vida daqueles que neles habitam e que deles dependem para sobreviver. Em cores saturadas, elas foram realizadas com lmes positivos em "revelac?a?o cruzada" (C-41) a partir de cenas, por vezes montadas, com personagens e objetos escolhidos pela sua forte carga simbo?lica e croma?tica. Homens, canoas, pala tas, oresta, animais diversos, sobretudo peixes, entre outros elementos recriam as paisagens natural e urbana de um mundo amazo?nico aqui denominado Do rio. Como nesta regia?o a realidade paradoxal de enfrentamento e interdepende?ncia do homem com a natureza e? diariamente vivida, busco abordar neste trabalho questo?es como vida e morte, viole?ncia e sobrevive?ncia, trabalho e intempe?ries, mas tambe?m beleza, alegria e sonhos.

International audience ; The Rio Grande/Bravo is an arid river basin shared by the United States and Mexico, the fifth-longest river in NorthAmerica, and home to more than 10.4 million people. By crossing landscapes and political boundaries, the Rio Grande/Bravo bringstogether cultures, societies, ecosystems, and economies, thereby forming a complex social-ecological system. The Rio Grande/Bravosupplies water for the human activities that take place within its territory. While there have been efforts to implement environmentalflows (flows necessary to sustain riparian and aquatic ecosystems and human activities), a systematic and whole-basin analysis of theseefforts that conceptualizes the Rio Grande/Bravo as a single, complex social-ecological system is missing. Our objective is to addressthis research and policy gap and shed light on challenges, opportunities, and success stories for implementing environmental flows inthe Rio Grande/Bravo. We introduce the physical characteristics of the basin and summarize the environmental flows studies alreadydone. We also describe its water governance framework and argue it is a distributed and nested governance system across multiplepolitical jurisdictions and spatial scales. We describe the environmental flows legal framework and argue that the authority over differentaspects of environmental flows is divided across different agencies and institutions. We discuss the prioritization of agricultural usewithin the governance structure without significant provisions for environmental flows. We introduce success stories for implementingenvironmental flows that include leasing of water rights or voluntary releases for environmental flow purposes, municipal ordinancesto secure water for environmental flows, nongovernmental organizations representing the environment in decision-making processes,and acquiring water rights for environmental flows, among others initiatives. We conclude that environmental flows are possible andhave been implemented but their implementation has not ...

This study reports results from an evaluation of the experimental Rio Hondo driving under the influence (DUI) court of Los Angeles County, California. Interviews and official record checks with 284 research participants who were randomly assigned to a DUI court or a traditional criminal court were assessed at baseline and at 24-month follow-up. The interviews assessed the impact of the DUI court on self-reported drunk driving behavior, the completion of treatment, time spent in jail, alcohol use, and stressful life events. Official record checks assessed the impact of the DUI court on subsequent arrests for driving under the influence and other drinking-related behaviors. Few differences on any outcomes were observed between participants in the experimental DUI court and those assigned to the traditional court. The results suggest that the DUI court model had little additional therapeutic or public safety benefit over the traditional court process. The implication of these findings for the popularity of specialized courts for treating social problems is discussed.
