    Virtual Water : Tackling the Threat to Our Planet's Most Precious Resource. (2011)
    London :I. B. Tauris & Company, Limited,
    Details
    Keywords: Water consumption. ; Electronic books.
    Description / Table of Contents: The groundbreaking new concept that reveals the true and hazardous extent of our everyday water consumption.How much water does it take to make a cup of coffee? The answer may shock you: 140 litres! That's the true amount of water used in growing, producing, packaging and shipping the beans you use to make your morning coffee. Your lunchtime hamburger takes 2400 litres and that favourite pair of jeans a whopping 11,000 litres. In fact all the goods we buy - from food to clothing to com-puters - all have a water cost in the form of virtual water - the powerful new concept that reveals the hidden facts of our real water consumption.What can we do to help tackle the threat to our planet's most precious resource? World water expert Tony Allan - creator of the virtual water concept - shows the way. He exposes the real impact of our modern lifestyle and shows how we as individuals and governments globally can make a vital contribution to managing our water use in a more planet-friendly way.

    The Middle East Water Question : Hydropolitics and the Global Economy. (2002)
    London :I. B. Tauris & Company, Limited,
    Details
    Keywords: Water supply - Middle East. ; Electronic books.
    Description / Table of Contents: Is there enough water on this planet for a global population that will shortly double its present size? The answer is of huge importance for people everywhere, but particularly to the peoples and political leaders of the Middle East and North Africa. As well as explaining the particular issues of conflict in the region, Allan argues that the answer to these problems lies at the global rather than local level. The Middle East Water Question is a major book by one of the world's leading authorities on water issues.

    (Table T1) Strontium isotopic composition and ages of limestone samples from ODP Hole 180-1118A (2001)
    PANGAEA
    In:  Supplement to: Allan, Tony; Robertson, Alastair H F; Sharp, Timothy R; Trotter, Julie (2001): Data report: Whole-rock 87Sr/86Sr composition and apparent strontium isotopic age of limestones from Site 1118, Woodlark rift basin, southwest Pacific (Ocean Drilling Program Leg 180). In: Huchon, P; Taylor, B; Klaus, A (eds.) Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, College Station, TX (Ocean Drilling Program), 180, 1-5, https://doi.org/10.2973/odp.proc.sr.180.158.2001

    Description: Limestone from Unit VI (857.1-859.15 meters below seafloor) collected at Site 1118 contains a planktonic foraminiferal fauna indicating a latest Miocene to early Pliocene age. Globorotalia tumida is recorded in Sample 180-1118A-68R-4, 46-48 cm, indicating an early Pliocene (N18) age at this level (J. Resig, pers. comm., 2000). Based on their known range in the western Papuan Basin, the presence of (rare) Lepidocyclina and common Amphistegina in some samples suggests that abundant shallow-water bioclastic debris present in these limestones may be reworked from older, possibly middle or early late Miocene sediments. Four samples were selected for whole-rock strontium isotopic analysis to further investigate this possibility. A petrographic examination of samples analyzed was also conducted.
