International Brotherhood of Steam Shovel and Dredgemen. The International Brotherhood of Steam Shovel and Dredgemen was a labor union representing workers involved in excavations in the United States, Canada and Panama.

The union was founded in 1896, at a conference in Chicago.  On January 13, 1915, it absorbed the Associated Union of Steam Shovelmen, and the newly merged union was chartered by the American Federation of Labor (AFL).  However, the International Union of Steam and Operating Engineers believed that it should have jurisdiction over the trade, the AFL ordered the two unions to merge.  The Steam Shovel and Dredgemen refused to do so, and in 1919 it was suspended by the AFL.  It continued on an independent basis, and in 1925, it had 11,500 members.

On April 1, 1927, the union finally merged into the Steam and Operating Engineers.

Doheny Desalination Plant. The Doheny Desalination Plant is a  facility proposed by South Coast Water District in Dana Point, California. The  is just north of State Route 1 on east side of San Juan Creek with access off Stonehill Drive.

The Joint Regional Water Supply System will distribute desalinated water existing water transmission lines to South Coast Water District customers and south Orange County. Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD), in Riverside County, approved a plan to buy paper water rights which involves the two agencies swapping rights on paper. The desalinated water EMWD paid for would still get mixed into South Coast’s system, while imported water that would have gone to the South Coast would instead go to EMWD’s customers.

The subsurface intake (slant) wells at Doheny State Beach will be fully buried beneath the ocean floor to protect marine life. Brine, the saltwater left over from the desalination process, would be co-mingled with treated wastewater in an existing outfall pipe  offshore.

Paul Ver Eecke. Paul-Louis Ver Eecke (23 February 1867 – 14 October 1959) was a Belgian mining engineer and historian of Greek mathematics. He produced influential French translations of the mathematical works of ancient Greece, including those of Archimedes, Pappus, and Theodosius.

Ver Eecke was born in Menen where he received an early education in Greek and Latin. He completed his secondary studies at the Royal Athenaeum in Bruges before going to study at the mining school at Liege (1888-1891). He then worked in the mining industry. While serving as an engineer for the Fortis Powder Company Ltd at Herentals, Antwerp, he was nearly killed in an explosion. His family forced him to move out of such dangerous work and he then joined the Labor Administration in 1894, then a newly created department.

He became a principal inspector but during World War I, he was forced to take leave and he studied Greek mathematical works. This would later become his most influential work and included translations into French, incorporating modern mathematical notation, of the works of Apollonius of Perga (1924), Diophantus (1926), Theodosius (1927), Serenus of Antinoe (1929), Pappus of Alexandria (1933), Euclid (1938); and the works of Didymus, Diophanes, Anthemius, and [the palimpsests of] Bobbio (1940). He became an inspector general of labor in 1922 and retired in 1923.

Although worked largely in isolation, he collaborated with Johan Ludvig Heiberg. For his contribution, Eecke was made Commander of the Order of Leopold and of the Order of the Crown, and later Grand Officer of the Order of Leopold II, Officer of the Order of Orange-Nassau by the Belgian government. He was also decorated by the Greek and French governments.

Ganga Water Supply Scheme. Ganga Water Lift Project () is a multi-phase drinking water project in Bihar, India. It is the ambitious project of Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar to supply safe drinking water  to the water-alarmed towns like Gaya, Rajgir and Nawada, located in southern part of the state through pipeline by lifting water from Ganga river near Hathidah Ghat in Mokama in Patna district. The cost of first phase of this project was initially approved with , the cost was later revised to . Government of Bihar approved the first phase of the coveted Ganga Water Lift Scheme (GWLS) of Water Resource Department (WRD) in December 2019. Ganga Water Lift Project is part of Nitish Kumar's ‘Jal-Jivan-Hariyali Abhiyan' which is aimed to minimize the bad effects of climate change.


Project details
The total length of pipeline that supply Ganga waters to three towns is 190.90 km. The Ganga water is lifted near Hathidah Ghat in Mokama and the pipeline  crosses alongside the national highways and state highways. The main pipeline  runs from Hathidah to Giriyak via Sarmera and Barbigha. From Giriyak, one pipeline goes to Rajgir, while another to Nawada. The water from Ganga is brought to Motnaje water treatment plant in Nawada district through a pipeline. In Gaya, urban development & housing department (UDHD) will ensure supply of water to the households through pipeline. The Public health & engineering department (PHED) will be responsible for Ganga water supply in Nawada. The length of the pipeline on Hathidah-Motnaje-Tetar-Abgilla pipe route is 150 km.

Third pipeline  goes to Manpur (near Gaya) via Vanganga, Tapovan and Jethia. A major water storage point is constructed near Manpur. Similar storage point is to be constructed for other towns too. The project is completed in three phases. Ganga water will be supplied to Gaya, Bodhgaya and Rajgir in the first phase of the project. Nawada town would be covered in the second phase.

Hyderabad-based infrastructure firm Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Ltd (MEIL) completed phase 1 of Ganga Water Lift Project in 2022.
