Produktbeschreibung

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 1.5, Egerton University, language: English, abstract: The modern world is fast growing and in particular with the widespread urbanization growth. This has as a result exerted massive pressure on the available amenities allocation. Specifically, major urban areas around the world are currently unable to manage solid waste sufficiently and in the most sustainable manner. In that regard, such targets like the Millennium Development Goals specially aimed at boosting clean water and sanitation within cities, towns and villages have proved unfeasible. A typical example of such a case includes the Lebanon's garbage crisis that has has attracted the global attention with majority of the instituted solutions indicating unsatisfactory results. The problem has evidently been on high increase despite the intervention measures. The recent closure of its main landfill has consequently disrupted treatment, disposal and storage processes causing high accumulation of trash within streets. Besides, the inconveniences caused by the move has seen the proliferation of informal dumping sites all over the municipalities. The effects are evident threatening the overall wellbeing of people and the environment in general.Blocked roads systems due to the overflowing garbage piles have likewise inconvenienced humanitarian interventions especially amongst the most vulnerable areas.
