It seems like a silly question, but where does the water go at the flush, the toilet or drain the sinks in your home. Well, usually it flows to waste Water Treatment facility where it is treated to reduce or remove pollutants. The traded waste water is then released into local waterways where it is used again for any number of purposes such as youre getting 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 alco 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 a residence including myself. But apparently now advances and Water Purification technology have made it so that recycle waste water can be brought up to drinking standards in a matter of hours and public back into a pipe says apply home schools and businesses with Drinking Water. 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 to day 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 the screen which moves large floating objects such as rags and non biodegradable 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 will 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 a. However, new pollution problems have now place additional burdens on waste Water Treatment systems. Today we have pollutants such as heavy metals, chemical compounds and toxic substitutions 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, or reverse osmosis that are way more expensive to build and operate. And now were joined by dr. Mullin, shot 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 Risk Management on communities. And so hes going to be to get one Central Florida associates lets to has his thats interesting has get caught and reducing what it costs productivity, at least not equal to 500. 00 a walking. So suspend damage equity goes up and basically its impacting sorts. It can be unlikely whats, what, what im thinking of is look, look at, im 3 exams and Property Values. Each of the 3 in this way then in the economy goes all the way golf, bravo, based upper management. But the significance find themselves by bits on both of the economies and governments. Can you share examples where in sufficient investment and waste Water Infrastructure lead to significant economic losses or Public Health challenges inefficient investment and we split the inside system has big too numerous examples of significant economic losses and publics hotel. In this one instance in the up in countries like india in bangladesh, inadequate, we sort of expand has to be the even wide space what the one digit is. Imposing substance selling has costs and producing 1. 00 plus productivity. If its like sprint, michigan, you. Busy say red aging inside step to the cost later on. So im gonna send indoor to supplies that way to both hands. Could i see savvy more people . I mean 3. 02. Think already decreased Property Values and increase has good expect is these examples underscore the i think the lead flooded robust investment invest. What interests are to see if that of what public has had in the comic of that would be and how kind of investments in sustainable Waste Water Solutions contribute to both environmental and economic benefits. Invest wendy and sustainable risk for the solar sense of what a deal of benefits and what that does is that it was so that economy plus buddy take implementing technologies like police to a recycling, itd be centralized. Strict ment system with the new 6 butler said gonzales, what resources and meet the goods to be core, logic of damage for studying and a lot of my thoughts as to maybe the most i meant initially these investments could be a Job Opportunities in the green sector stream unit, you know, as a and, and how does local interests look to leading to long Term Economic growth by a private are these, you can suspend them all the way store for management. Governor does get a to uh, when use balance between the and what about those 2 axes and the code on the dont mention either successful case studies where cities or industries have realized substantial economic returns through investments and waste Water Management. Yeah, definitely. So those are these and in the streets demonstrate that significantly competence through investment, invest what to management, what example copenhagen denmark. Dr. Stuart is out about a summer party trying to work for me into a timing recreation of the equity duties and boosting property. We lose definitely investing in edwins resources when technologies seemingly industrious, such as breweries infect style, manufactured us how to use what methods up. So then operational costs by limiting efficient ways to do the 2nd system leading to improve profitability and facilitate this case. Studies highlight the as well they show a lot of substance. So economically, pence wind, but i would i be using smart investment in Resource Management and what challenges are there to integrate Sewage Systems into urban planning that a lot of standards including Sewage Systems, into of im planning for this. So really the elements firstly, the existing in 1st set up, maybe i will make it on insufficient to echo or to greet popular. So im saying i would explain since, but equating cost of yeah, but its an excellent sense. Secondly, coordinating between radius 3 quarters in 40 minutes. What are, what are these engineers and, and what about the latency scan be complex and theyve been 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 these studies. Finally, and showing sustainable and reciting. So its a stevens emmys. Climate change impacts like a sea level rise, an extreme where the events as another layer of complexity to a blinding me, 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 . Products, wasteWater Management tool that youll stick to just depending on factors like popular some density, economic resource. And then when i went up route, it is some of the sense, but i would i be centralized strickland. Nonsense speak. Thank you. Thats. Thats why those focus want to be centralized. The stream spot me thoughts all this on. Its like i started with lens in douglas, look back. This 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 x ending what were using for our management. So okay, think of benefits. So you know, we do equities and call over to somebody to envelopment industry and academia. So by starting and end up being successful practices from around the world, the interest in enhanced database to, to management. So if it is an address global order, it kinda gets more effectively. Thank you so much dr. Mullin, 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 wreck, the l look forward to talking to you all. That technology should work for people. A robot must obey the orders given by human beings except were so shorter is that conflict with the 1st law show your mind. And just in case we should be very careful about our personal intelligence, the point obviously is to place trust rather than to the various job. I mean with the Artificial Intelligence we have so many with the in the a robot must protect this phone. Existence was alexis, the rom, just dont have to say power and engagement. It was the trail. When so many find themselves will support, we choose to look so common ground, the the more expensive. And im here to plan with you whatever you do. Do not watch my new show. Seriously. Why watch something thats so different. Several opinions that he wont get anywhere else. Welcome to planes or do they have the state department, the c, i a weapons, bankers, multi 1000000000. 00 corporations. Choose your fax for you. Go ahead. Change and whatever you do. Dont want my shell stay main street because im probably going to make you uncomfortable. My show is called stretching time, but again, we dont wanna watch it because it might just change the wayne state the other way. All right, so see which ones are out there. So some of this, so basically of course we see your last name was needed, read it comes to movies. Do you imagine we have some more more or some movies this we would show on the approval to the, the, the, the take a fresh look around is a life kaleidoscopic, isnt just a shifted reality distortion by power type vision with no real opinions fixtures, design to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just because it shows you fractured images, presented to this 1st . Can you see through their illusion going underground . Can 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 we using is water supply and supply up to 200000. 00 customers in the san fernando valley. But the middle east has emerge 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 in the middle east spaces 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 Technology is to purify and we use waste water reducing the strain on fresh water resources. Advanced treatment processes include membrane field tracing biological treatment, and this infection techniques that have been used to ensure the safe and efficient and you use of water. But meanwhile, in low income areas, in adequate 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, and adequately treated waste water from industries continued to deplete water quality. In developing countries, each person produces on average 6 leaders, a toilet waste water each day. That equates to nearly 14000000000 leaders of untreated, physically contaminated waste water created each day. So for reference, thats 5600. 00 olympic sized swimming pools. This leads to hi, 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 treat less than 5 percent of waste water. The software this and more lets bring in again dr. Mall and shot chief scientist of Wastewater Research at enviro tech. Now doctor mullin in your opinion, which country has demonstrated the most effective and sustainable models for waste Water Treatment identifies a single country as having the most effective and sustainable work. One of the photo based on treatment is challenging you to deny what is produced in context. Your pick does in was probably a lot of countries like thing. Couple stand out for the, you know, if you and comprehensive, resort for management strategies. Sync up what has implemented edwins technologies as knew what to reach verifies based on what type of Drinking Water standards i didnt think of the approaches like the deep dynamic switch system to optimize the thoughts efficiency. And one of my thoughts was staying with the other countries with not the 2 minutes in resorted, meant able denmark, the netherlands, and so we did, its the north for the communist. One of 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, example then my, then a deadlines entry, the envelope on being as an off, you know, as an instructor, this and technologies, these things were edgewise treatment process such as member and body of those. And the was us most useful what the use coupled with, if you send the centralized of systems to minimize the cost of sending transport costs at least slowly a stream dont regularly since and protected Government Policies incentivize compliance and data continues implementing risk or treatments on thats what blake o m s complaints and community and government and it seduce, flustered, flustered guns that was done and, and what i want does to watch sleep and im seeing the auto system of the, of these police resort management practices. And what recent Technological Advancements have been particularly promising in the fields of purifying wastewater . Yeah, there are so many of the septic multiple vitamins nowadays in the store to put if it gets un helpful and promising the results. Any improvement. What for quality and resource availability . Memory and technologies, so this slide, what else will sees and dental peterson . I dont know if hes the reason of what if he shows the more of one time, you know, so i mean, you may think and those he comes up. Some advice, thoughts isnt a processing story, youll be based on a network, i mean, cuz my post effectively the good organic but it does. And thats what, thats what, what emerging technologies like might be up to the old says and electrical glistened. Demonstrate what the ship for cyber living is, we sort of, it meant an empty, done this, and the scene always own speak with the affordable, sustainable, and Cost Effective way approaches to waste sort of the art if it gets a addressing facing and what i mean. And public has done sense. So besides 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 wasteWater Treatment solutions since last 15 years. Im observing that the people do not have much knowledge of well, the 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. We have talked to rapidly and what are the
