A Comparison Of Energy And Water Sustainability Measures In Australia And Russia

Your task is to write a report that compares and contrasts how Energy sustainability and Water sustainability have been addressed in Australia in comparison to an overseas country of your choice. Your report should have the following sections: 

You should report the following types of actions regarding energy sustainability both in Australia and your country of choice: 

• Government regulation of the country regarding energy and water sustainability
• Key scientific research and technological innovation of the country
• The actions of non-government organisations and the private sector 
• Exemplar projects 

You should report the following types of actions regarding water sustainability both in Australia and your country of choice: 

• Government regulation of the country regarding energy and water sustainability
• Key scientific research and technological innovation of the country
• The actions of non-government organisations and the private sector
• Exemplar projects 

You need to compare the actions taken (the actions you just reported in previous steps) in these two countries for energy and water sustainability. For example, why is it that two countries have dealt with issues differently? Is one approach more successful than the other? Are there any ways in which one country should be learning from the other? It is important to keep in mind that each of your countries is not a homogenous blend demographically and environmentally. 

Impact of Government policy over water and energy sustainability

The International Energy Agency (IEA) is one of the established bodies that taking care of improve energy system and enhance the supply and productiveness of the energy market. Promotion of energy and alternative energy sources are the required modification that provides effective alteration of energy supplement and gives the intervention over environmental and energy policies. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is the implemented economic program that changes the rational energy policy and uses those energy alternative resources for the development of the nation (Froggatt 2013).

In this report, the government intervention and innovative implementation in these two nations are the concern factors that determine supply distribution of energy and water sustainability of the countries. The process of renewable energy or the impact of saving the energy process for an Australian and Russian market is the key for of delivering the energy.  

In case of Australian Government, they have taken certain implementation to restore the natural resources in an effective way and that implementation of government has put its mark by sustaining the water and power for the development of the naction. Murray-Darling Basin plan is the sustainable water reformation that provides enough water restoration process and maintains good reinforcement of commonwealth water resources (Kumar et al. 2014). The water distribution and supply of that water is also depending on that strategic planning. The future of the ecological function, power enhancement, the community builds up and food and fiber production is the utmost change in the environment that helps to protect the biodiversity process and revise strategic implementation. In case of strategic implementation, there are several programs that has invested the maximum developmental change in Australia (Golev et al. 2014). Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act is the implemented way of the strategic actions that determine the impactful condition of the Australia in the eye of water and energy resources. In this act, the proposed urban development has been done where six new suburbs have been streamlined and facilities are delivered to the 13000 homes. The development of Australian power and water sustainability effective change in streamline water strategy and facilitated change in the conservation of power and water is needed. There are some indicative manners that determine this saving throughout the year and that impacted over the understanding of two natural resources. QVMAG Museum is a kind of place where the reduced energy consumption prevails and that also determines the heating and radiation control and save electricity. In case of the estimated process through this effective impose mannerism 15,400 KL water can be saved and with this almost 425,000 kWh energy can be saved and estimated (Melikoglu 2014).  

Technological innovation and research

On the other hand, Russia has an exponential growth in global electricity and impact of balancing the matter in case of rapid change. Russia has the annual runoff of 10% of the global river that amounting the 4.3 thousand cubic km and that extended the water supply of Russia. The Federal Water Resources Agency and key water areas development are the primary implementations that have made the functional goal for the Russia (Saritas et al. 2017). Water codes in 2004 adoptive household purposes that ensure the effective use of the maintaining volume of the water. It is an implemented strategic change that impacted over Russia so that people can take the advantage of that process. The new water code (2006) is the replenishment of groundwater deposition that has made the reusing of water resources and provides the activity on significantly integrated schemes (Hong, Bradshaw and Brook 2015). In case of Russia, "Environment and Natural resources of Russia”, “Water resources and water bodies” these are the promotional subsection that implemented in the country for the development of the nation (Alam et al. 2017).

In case of implementing the new techniques and innovation Australia has the sustainable water and energy process that impacted on the developmental growth of the nation. Green Growth is the productive process of water sustainability that has created re climatic change and estimated the population of the concern strategic implementation (Bahadori, Zahedi and Zendehboudi 2013). Annual renewable water resource form this innovative implementation estimated as 400,000 GL which has been used in manufacturing products, mining sections, urban distribution, agriculture and other issues (Svalova and Povarov 2015). In the section of demographical and technical innovation, the distribution through the country is the streamline change that induces the productivity and mitigates the requirement of the resources. R & D innovation and the high efficacy pumping system, groundwater extraction, and monolayer based evaporation reservoir, harvest storm water and bio-filter storm-water all these are the technical implementation that provided by the installation process as well as provides the actual treatment for the technological implantation.

In case of Russia, some of the scientific innovations like biomass energy, wind energy, solar energy and geothermal energy are the technological implementation that mitigates the expenditure of the natural resources and provide the better alternation for the imposed systems. In the dump areas of the fossil-fuelled energy generation is the annual output that power plants are doing and estimating the low transport cost and organizes a way of development (Ghaffour, Missimer and Amy 2013). Wind energy is primarily accessed by the windmill that provides by the WMGP that have the stations to generalize the hydroelectric stations and have the capacity of 200kV which have the most inductive quality of sustainable condition that impacted over the biggest development and efficacy (Qadir et al. 2015).

Intervention from Non-government organization

In Australia, Acton Aid Australia, Australian Lutheran World Service and Act for Peace-National Council of Churches Australia are the non-governmental sectors that emphasis on the water and energy sustainability of Australia. From the daily life intervention to the storage percentage of the consumption in all these are interrelated as the government section helped issue and energy conservator process under the act (Wilkinson, von Lany and Lane 2014). The annual energy consumption has been reduced to the 100,000kWh per year by the implementation of new strategic changes and technological assistance.

On the other hand, Russia has some non-governmental organization that has the environmental appeal for the critical situations. In the other section of activism NGOs' like Moscow School of Civic Education, Public Commission for the Preservation of the Heritage of Academician Sakharov has the specific favor of the law that processes the isolation and included the constitutional fact of the nation (Pittock, Hussey and Dovers 2015). The NGOs are working with the development of the energy restoration and implement on the possibilities of sustainable establishment of power and water. The development of the cultural project and the participating manner of the NGOs are not imperatively concentrated on the factual process rather the formation of the protection and participating manner can attend the quality of the development in alteration (Gasbarro, Rizzi and Frey 2016.).

Green Effective Plan is the kind of exemplary project that possesses material plan, waste plan and concept design of operational energy for the general design changes in power and water sustainability. The HVAC strategy under this plan and the pre-cast solution of the processing may surface the proper rate of service changes (Helfer and Lemckert 2015). In case of sustainability charger, the conducted form of annual water and energy efficiency and the separate consumption of the version of onsite inputs may change the sequent totality.

In case of Russia, K2 Business Park, Lighthouse and Olympia Park are some of the exemplars where the water and power conservation prevails. GOST and SNIP are two Russian state constitutional standards have made the possible scope for the reducing power deliverance for the customers (Liu 2015). This is considered as the Green Construction Project of Russia and the project determines the low risk on the basis of promoting the water and power maintained and provides the future development Russia. Big events are getting the boost by that process and that impacted over a rational change in that nation. The economy is also getting a boost if the possible recommendation isolation can be imposed and that promised the way of finding for the new respites in Russia.

Conclusion

Therefore, the report can be conclude that demographical process water and power sustainability is depend on the conservation process of these two countries. There are certain procedures to control the situation however the implementation may be different and that also provide the significant consumption of the natural resources. The controlling measure of effective mitigation and supplying the water and power to the reserve process has been stored as the development of the nation and the entire world. In Australia the project analysis is good in nature thus the development of the process and sustainability of the efficiency has been controlled in an ethical way. On the other hand, Russia has project conservation process in environment and development thus their three-dimensional concept of development has the community analysis over the need and aspiration of the future potential and strategy making. Development of technical assistance and the government intervention are the key criteria to sustain this condition and these established facts is being imposed by the innovative change in methods to restore water and power, both Australia and Russia doing their best to restore them but they need systematic underpinning to doing that process.
