Yield response to climate, management, and genotype
Sustaining food security under climate conditions expected for the 21st century will require that existing crop production systems simultaneously increase both productivity and resiliency to warmer and more variable climate conditions. In this study, we analyzed observational rainfed maize ( Zea mays L.) yield data from major maize production areas of the US Corn Belt. These data included detailed information on crop management and genetics not t…
Separating heat stress from moisture stress
Several recent studies have indicated that high air temperatures are limiting maize ( Zea mays L.) yields in the US Corn Belt and project significant yield losses with expected increases in growing season temperatures. Further work has suggested that high air temperatures are indicative of high evaporative demand, and that decreases in maize yields which correlate to high temperatures and vapor pressure deficits (VPD) likely reflect underlying so…
Public–Private Partnerships and Contract Choice in India’s Water and Wastewater Sectors
Public provision of water and wastewater services in urban India has been a noteworthy failure, often providing service that ranges from non-existent to unreliable. Over the past decade, a number of reforms were undertaken that focused on infrastructure construction and urban governance, including broader use of public–private partnerships (PPPs). We examine a new data set of 163 water and wastewater PPP contracts initiated during 1999-2012 to st…
Who’s the cleanest of them all? Sanitation scores in Indian cities
Urban India is struggling to provide adequate water and sanitation services to its citizens. Open defecation, insufficient wastewater treatment, and mixing of untreated wastewater with stormwater and drinking water supplies are contributing to a severe health and economic crisis. Recent government measures such as the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission and National Urban Sanitation Policy (NUSP) are steps in the right direction. We d…
Capital Investment and Privatization
Water and wastewater infrastructure (W&WI) in the United States is in need of immediate capital investments. Support from the federal government has declined significantly in the past two decades, forcing state and local governments to contribute a larger share. With increased decentralization of infrastructure decision making, public opinion is playing an ever greater role. Questions on capital investment, privatization, and concern for W&WI wer…
Toward strategic management of shale gas development
Shale gas resources are relatively plentiful in the United States and in many countries and regions around the world. Development of these resources is moving ahead amidst concerns regarding environmental risks, especially to water resources. The complex nature of this distributed extractive industry, combined with limited impact data, makes establishing possible effects and designing appropriate regulatory responses challenging. Here we move bey…
