Out of the total precipitation reaching Nigeria, it can be separated into green and blue water. Green water (79% of the precipitation) represents the fraction of rainfall that generates soil moisture and which supports terrestrial ecosystems. It is not returned to groundwater and rivers, but will eventually evaporate or transpire through plants. Blue water, on the other hand, represents the fraction (21%) of the precipitation that runs into rivers and aquifers, and that has a potential for withdrawal for societal use. Out of this, the environmental water flow is the amount of water needed to sustain ecosystem services. In the case of Nigeria, there is a huge potential to increase the withdrawal for irrigation and food production to meet current and future needs.

Belianske Luky fen after restoration, the largest preserved fen system in Slovakia,
Project: Conservation, restoration and wise use of calcareous fens (2004-2010)
While sustainable grazing is beneficial for the maintenance of Slovakia’s calcareous fens, other
agricultural practices such as arable farming lead
to their degradation.

Image Craft's ICON Themed Environments division created this new suite of office furniture, custom designed for our recently expanded Colorado office, now located in Centennial.
Shown here in various stages of production are a reception desk, media wall with podium, conference room table, storage and display credenzas, and more! The furnishings, primarily composed of shop ply and MDF, feature a zebra wood laminate with folkstone gray and matte black laminate work surfaces.
This project was produced entirely in-house in our Phoenix headquarters, from design to fabrication, and ultimately, through on-site installation. Backlit lettering and graphics are also part of the overall concept, and will be the final addition. We'll add more photos here as the project progresses.

Tetra Tech, a global environmental consulting firm, rented a water quality monitoring system from us to keep an eye on the Avalon Bay dredging project. The goal was to clear out portions of New Jersey's harbors to help with shipping and recreation. A remote data logging system helped project managers keep constant watch on water quality at the sites.

Scientists from the University of Utah traveled to Canada's Gros Morne National Park to study microbial lifeforms and rock metamorphosis. The researchers used a YSI Pro Plus water quality meter and flow cell to sample the temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, ORP and conductivity of the streams. The data provide important information of the environment supporting the microbial lifeforms.
