Remove pollutants. The traded waste water is then released into local waterways where it is used again for any number of purposes such as irrigating crops and sustaining aquatic life. But recently, california became the 2nd state behind colorado to allow waste water from showers and even toilets to be purified. Into Drinking Water. Many areas in the west already use treated waste water for outdoor irrigation or to replenish underwater aqua 1st, where water is further cleanse as of percolates through the soil. But the idea of sending treated waste water directly to homes has lost struggle to overcome the x factor in california. This toilet, to tap idea is still a big factor for many residents, including myself. But apparently now advances and Water Purification technology have made it so that recycled waste water can be brought up to drinking standards in a matter of hours and public back into the pipe says apply home schools and businesses with Drinking Water to Waste Water Management is more than just pipes and treatment plants, theyre an integral part of our societal structure. Years ago, when sewage was dumped into waterways, you had a natural purification process because the sheer volume of clean water in the streams dilute the waste bacteria and other small organisms in the water consume the sewage and other matter. But today, hire population in greater volume of domestic and industrial waste. Water requires that communities give nature a helping hand. WasteWater Treatment basically speeds up the natural processes by which water is purified. There are 2 basic stages and the treatment of water. In the primary treatment phase, sewage flows through screen which moves large floating objects such as rags and non biodegradable ols that might clog up pipes. And then passes through a grit chamber where sand, small stones and grits settled to the bottom. The sewage then flows to a sedimentation tank were suspended by a solid. Well sing to the bottom and will be used for fertilizer. It then goes through a secondary treatment phase wherever moves about 85 percent of organic matter. The sewage is palm through a trickling filter, which is a simply a bed of stones about 6 feet deep through which sewage passes. Bacteria gather, multiply on the stones until they can consume most of the organic matter. The clean or water trickles through the pipes for further treatment where the bacteria is then removed with flooring to. However, new pollution problems have now place additional burdens on waste Water Treatment systems. Today we have polluting such as heavy metals, chemical compounds, and toxic substances that are more difficult to remove from water rising demand on the water supply. And we aggravates the problems as well to remove new pollutants. We require advanced waste treatment techniques such as carbon absorption, distillation and reverse osmosis that are way more expensive to build and operate. And now were joined by doctor mullen, shaw, chief scientist, Wastewater Research at enviro tech. What are the economic consequences of an adequate Waste Water Management on communities and cities, economy consequences of the united correct list or for management on communities. And so hes going to be to be at one central florida. So it says lets to has his thats going to think has that cost and deducing what it costs, productivity that is not equal to 500. 00. A water source has been damage. Equity goes up and basically its impacting source. It cannot be legal. Its what a lot of us look, look at, im 3 exams and Property Values. Each of the 3 in which way the in the economy goes on. The vehicle brought bought a vehicle from management, but the significant finances are based on both of the economies and governments. Can you share examples where in sufficient investment and waste Water Infrastructure led to significant economic losses or Public Health challenges inefficient . The investment in the basement insight system has been too numerous examples of significant economic losses and publics. Headset in this one instance in the up in countries like india and bangladesh. Inadequate restorative methods, we thought that even widespread, what one digit is imposing substance silicates get costs and reducing what plus productivity . If its like sprint, michigan, usa, red aging insights that sort of costly funds, im assuming the auto stuff like that, right. A boat thats good. I see. Standing on the phone, i mean 3. 02 dirty, decreased Property Values and increase has good expenses. So these examples underscore the typical lead flooded robots investment in the base. What interests are to see if that what Public Health had in the comic that would be and how kind of investments in sustainable Waste Water Solutions contribute to both environmental and economic benefits. Invest wendy and sustainable, the rest of the sort of some sort of deal with that if you dont. And what that does is that it was suddenly economy plus, but its a implementing technologies like police to a recycling and be centralized treatment system with the new 6 butler should consult us. What the resources and we think its the core logic of damage for studying and why dont we build sustainability. Now simultaneously, these investments could be a job opportunity between the green sector stream unit. You know, we saw an enhanced local interests look to lead to long Term Economic growth by private are using sustainability based. What are management committed is get a 2 uh hold on. One use balance between in one of those 2 axis and he cannot make, dont mention either a successful case studies where cities or industries have realized substantial economic returns through investments and Waste Water Management. Yeah, definitely. So those 2 piece any the streets, no demonstrate that significant economic it tends to investment in restore to management. For example, copenhagen, denmark transform is not about us from a body trying to work for me into a timing recreation of the equity duties and boosting property. We lose definitely investing edwins resources when taking all of these seemingly industries such as priorities. In fact, style manufactured us how to use what within the website and operational costs, by limiting efficient ways for 20 seconds to stay leading to improve profitability and such. Timothy this case studies highlight the as well they show a lot of substantial economy pence when, but i would i be using smart investment Investment Management and what challenges are there to integrate Sewage Systems into urban planning . Yeah. That a lot of stuff i just think is a big switch to streams into automotive planning. But its so really telling this firstly, the existing in 1st set up. Maybe i will make it or insufficient to echo or to greet popular some say no, but explain sense. But equating costs of yeah, but its an excellent sense. Secondly, coordinating between video stakeholders. Think 40 minutes, what else . What are these engineers and, and what am intelligences can be complex and paintings doing that is slowly len groceries and conflicting interest making. Busy the up to my place made up so we didnt 1st look to mississippi, you know, we do some research and Community Engagement to work on this that in this finally and showing sustainable and reciting. So its a stevens emmys to Climate Change impacts like a sea level rise, an extreme but events as another layer of complexity to have been trying to get thoughts. And now how do Different Countries approach Waste Water Management . And are there lessons that can be learned from International Practice to Different Countries, us Waste Management to be and if youll start to just depending on the fact us like populace and then city economic results. And then when we talked about it is some of the sense, but i would i be centralized strickland. Nonsense speak. Thank you. Thats. Thats why theyre those focus want to be centralized. The stream spot, me thought sort of sounds like i started with lens. International practice is sort of valuable lessons in terms of Technology Adoption policy for them. And they said and Community Engagement flooding sense countries like the lens, etc. And what were using for our management. So okay, think of benefits. So you know, we do equities and call over to some between government industry and academia. So by starting and end up being successful practices from around the world, then please get enhanced database to, to management. So if it is an address blow by the time it gets more effectively. Thank you so much dr. Mullen, but please stick around. The chief scientist, doctor mullin, shaw will be with us after the break. And when we come back, what does it cost to build a Water Treatment facility . Well have more after the break, the of the, in 1884. 00, the german empire began its colonial invasion. Internet may be from the very start. Berlin encourage the white calling is to settle in South West Africa and take away the best land from the local drive. The germans were actively draining Natural Resources and using the local population as a cheap labor source. This was causing major protest and led to a rebuild your in 19 o 4 here, arrow and nama drives rebuild against the german colonial rule. Kaiser wilhelm the 2nd was fully determined and ordered to suppress the rebellion with the utmost severity against the inhabitants of nam may be germany through is 15000 well equipped army all around the country. Concentration camps were built in humane medical experiments over citizens were conducted within the period of 4 years. The german scaled up to 60000 people, among which there were 80 percent of the here railroad tried and 50 percent of the now im a dr. The events in South West Africa are called the 1st genocide of the 20th century, and not without reason are compared to the holocaust just 2 decades later after the massacre in nam may be a hitlers a solid unit food on the same brown colonial uniform which puts the world into the chasm of the 2nd world war, the, the, the while the by name ministration, many of its closest allies continue to shield israel with diplomatic cover. The International Criminal court and the International Court of justice. Speak for much of the world. If there is to be justice, it must be applied to all the Water Treatment centers are expensive and often cost about 12000000. 00 for each 1000000 gallons per day of average flow. You expect to go through the plant in los angeles. They are currently building a 500000000. 00 advance Water Purification facility to achieve its vision of fully when using is Water Supplies and supply up to 200000. 00 customers in the san fernando valley. But the middle east has emerged as a Global Leader and water innovation, particularly in the fields of the solid ice ation water and wasteWater Treatment. And the d carbonized ation of the water sector. The middle east space is unique challenges when it comes to water scarcity, making it imperative for the region to develop groundbreaking solutions to sustain its growing population. The selling ice ation has become the cornerstone of the water supply in many middle Eastern Countries and has implemented cutting Edge Technologies to purify and we use waste water reducing the strain on fresh water resources. Advanced treatment processes include membrane field trace and biological treatment. And this infection techniques that have been used to ensure the safe and efficient and you use a water to. But meanwhile, in low income areas, inadequate Waste Water Management can lead to health risks, environmental degrading deviation and economic losses. Approximately 56 percent of the urban population in africa and 26 percent and central South East Asia like access to private, titanic toilets, and under developed and developing countries, less than 8 percent of waste water is on treated. This entry is sewage and adequately treated waste water from industries continue to deplete Water Quality and developing countries. Each person produces on average 6 leaders, a toilet waste water each day. That equates to nearly 14000000000 leaders of untreated peakley, contaminated waste water created each day. So for reference, thats 5600. 00 olympic sized swimming pools. This leads to high pathogen concentrations which could easily spread diseases. Approximately 1. 4 or 5000000 people die annually as a result of diarrhea alone. And at least 50 percent of these cases are caused by poor sanitation in south africa, rivers and bodies of water have been to polluted by sewage for use because waste water facilities are failing to properly treat sewage before releasing it back into the environment. Chad, congo, somalia answered in to less than 5 percent of waste water. So for this and more, lets bring in again dr. Mall in shot cheese. Scientists of waste Water Research at enviro tech. To now dr. Mullin, in your opinion, which country has demonstrated the most effective and sustainable models for waste Water Treatment added to fitness in the country as having the most effective and sustainable work . While the photo based . What does that mean is challenging you to deny what is produced in context, your pick does in was probably about to put in place, like, for example, stand out for the you know, it, you and comprehensive historical management strategies. Sync up what has implemented edwins technologies as new watch a reachability phase based on what type of Drinking Water standards i didnt think of the approaches like the deep dynamic sewage system to optimize the thoughts efficiency and what that does to stay with the other countries with not the one to 2 minutes introduce what it meant. April then model the netherlands, and so we did. Its the north florida, minnesota, off the thing is Technology Stream doesnt glasses and Public Engagement strategies and other specific strategies or technologies that set these countries apart in terms of successful Waste Water Management. Yeah. Then please know, and so successful in Risk Management likes and up or then my then a deadlines and through the envelope on being as an off, you know, as an instructor this and technologies, these things were advice treatment process. So this member and body of those, and the was us most useful what the use coupled with, if its in the centralized systems to minimize the cost of sending transport cost any slowly a stream dont regularly since and protected Government Policies incentivize compliance and data continues implementing visual, take my son, thats what a lot of public o m s. Complaints and Community Engagement and introduce foster parents of what comes out of his son and, and what i want those to watch safe. And im seeing the auto system of the, of these countries resort. Management practices and what we said. Technological advancements have been particularly promising in the fields of purifying wastewater. You know that its so many the septic much better by defense nowadays. The english sort of products like this on house on promising the results. Any improvement, what for quality and resource availability Management Technologies . So this slide, what else will sees and then well be addressing by i dont know if hes the reason off. What if he shows the more of one time in slightly minimizing, and as it comes up, some advice ups isnt a processing story. Youll be based on electrochemical tomatoes, effectively the good organic pollutants. And frankly, thats what are what emerging technologies like micro betsy old says. And electrical glistened. Demonstrate what kind of ship force im looking at as we sort of treatment and, and this, and this, you know, a sense be able to be affordable, sustainable, and Cost Effective way approaches to restore, to be able to pick this up addressing, basing, and what im going to and public has done sense. So decided that he said to, i would Say Technology guidelines, maint nowadays. We thought of going on a Risk Management system. And now what unique challenges to developing countries space and investing and implementing effective waste Water Treatment solutions. Since last 15 years, im observing that the people do not have much and all the adults will be sort of micro biology. So the sort of healthy it must help the knowledge of facebook or making a lot of the how to treat me as to what a way to treat and what i that could i think that i me, those who sought out this problem. So these not as much to m
