The planet is overpopulated, & its limited resources, unevenly distributed among the world's people, are being used at an accelerated pace. The implications of man's violence to the environment are serious throughout the world, but particularly in less developed countries such as India. The pollution of air, water, land, & noise imperil the quality of human life, & must be skillfully controlled & managed if man & his environment are to survive. HA.

Abstract Ethiopia has produced a national construction industry policy. In 2017, the Construction Industry Transformation Council was set up. Thus, the country has established some of the building blocks of the "institution building" component of construction industry development. This should enable the industry to take advantage of the continuing high volume of construction demand to develop the local industry. This workshop seeks to consider recent trends in the construction industry globally, with the view to enhancing the performance of the industry in Ethiopia in a sustainable way. It is appropriate to examine the nation's programme for developing the construction industry and compare it with good international practice. The objectives of the study are to present a synthesis of construction industry development and the historical development of the subject; to explore the plans and policies of Ethiopia for developing its construction industry; to consider good practice around the world and precautions to take; and to discuss what Ethiopia should do. The paper is based on a review of the literature, with a reliance on government's policy documents and reports. It is suggested that Ethiopia has put together a construction industry development programme which is similar to what pertains in other countries. There is scope for the country to learn from good practice elsewhere. However, in the end, only a truly Ethiopian construction industry development programme will work.

Presented during the Third international conference on irrigation and drainage held March 30 - April 2, 2005 in San Diego, California. The theme of the conference was "Water district management and governance." ; Includes bibliographical references. ; Transfer of irrigation system management from government to water users has been taking place in developing countries for at least three decades. Various methods and degrees of transfer have been employed. Overall, the concept of transfer has been good, with benefits both to the central government and to the water users, who generally receive the transfer as members of organized water users associations (WUAs). Indeed, organizing water users into associations holds out much hope for farmers in developing countries. Similarly, modernizing agricultural technology is a must for these WUAs in order to produce competitively for global markets. However, technological modernization cannot be effective without robust water users association governance. Many WUAs start out well, but some of them lose strength and/or become embroiled in debilitating problems later. This paper focuses on lessons learned in WUA organization and growth in developing countries, particularly those in which the International Irrigation Center of Utah State University has been involved during the last three decades. Underlying problems in irrigation system management transfer and in WUA organization and function are examined, along with post-project difficulties that can occur. Ways to make WUAs robust, effective in meeting production and community needs, efficient in management of water resources, and sustainable as functioning representative entities are discussed. ; Sponsored by USCID; co-sponsored by Association of California Water Agencies and International Network for Participatory Irrigation Management.
