Water is the life blood of our planet constantly flowing from one body to the next. From the moment it flows out our faucet, it journey is its way through the labyrinth of pipes undergoing all sorts of treatments before it is released back out. But water is a precious resource, and too much of it is being wasted already from an adequate treatment facilities. Im christy i today were going to be following the flow of water and where all the waste water goes to be treated, recycled. And we use the same as 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 treated waste water is then released into local waterways where it is used again for any number of purposes such as youre getting crops and the state the 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 a 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 pipes says, apply home schools and businesses with Drinking Water. Waste Water Management is more than just pipes and treatment plans. 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 a 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 to it then goes to 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 the. 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 the carbon absorption, distillation, and 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, the 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 says lets to has his thats increasing has get caught and reducing what a plus productivity that is not equal to 500. 00. A water source has been damaged, it goes up and basically its impacting sort of security and livelihoods. What a lot of us look look at obviously zone 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 finance departments on both of the economies and governments. Can you share examples where in sufficient investment in Wastewater Infrastructure led to significant economic losses or Public Health challenges inefficient investment, individual princess of hesitate to numerous examples of significant economic losses and Public Health. And in this one instance in the up, in countries making, den bangladesh, inadequate restorative methods, we thought that even widespread what one digit is imposing substance silicates get costs and reducing what. Busy productivity if its like sprint, michigan, usa with aging insights, that sort of caused later on timing to some info or Something Like that. Right. A boat thats good. I see. Standing on the phone, i mean 3. 02, the dirty decreased property values. An increase has good expenses, so this examples underscore the political lead flooded robots investment in the base. What the interests are to see if that what Public Health has been going on, because thatll 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 sense of what a buick benefit of and what that does is that it was so many economy plus, but its a implementing technologies like least what are the cycling . Itd be centralized treatment system with the new spot. You should consult us, what resources and we think its the core logic of damage for studying and what 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, we saw an enhanced local interests look to lead to long Term Economic growth by it, but i would i these things to send them other ways to, to management commented is get a 2 uh hold on. One use balance between the and what about those 2 axes and take one 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 fees and in the streets, no demonstrate that significantly competence to investment in of historical management. What example copenhagen denmark, dr. Stuart is out about a suburb of trying to work for me into a timing recreation of the area. At 13 duties and boosting property, we lose up investing in edwins resources when taking all of these seemingly industries such as priorities. In fact, style manufactured us how to use what with and upside and operational costs, by blooming efficient ways for 20 seconds as to leading to improve profitability and facilitate this case. Studies highlight the as well they show a lot of substance so equal, obviously, pence wind, 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, out of been planning for this. So really the delegates, firstly the existing in 1st set up. Maybe i will make it up insufficient to echo or to growing up into something i would explain since, but equating cause to be a but its an excellent sense. Secondly, coordinating between radius 3 quarter. Busy us in 20 minutes. What else . What are these engineers and, and what am i to the dentist can be complex and painful doing that is my lead lead constraints and conflicting interest making. Busy the up to my place made up so we didnt 1st look to mississippi. I think, you know, we do some research and Community Engagement to let them be selling this finally and showing sustainable and reciting. So its a stevens emmys to Climate Change impacts. So the Sea Level Rise an extreme where the events as another layer of complexity to have been planning 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 to collect your list. Thats why theyre those focus wouldnt be centralized to stream spot me thoughts or this ones like i started with lens International Practices, sofa 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, and if its so, you know, we do equities and call over to somebody to be in government industry and academia. So by study ended up being successful practices from around the world interested in how does database to to manage most of it is an address global work and it 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 break. The take a fresh look around his life. Kaleidoscopic isnt just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. Fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really was a better wills, and is it just as a chosen for you, fractured images, present it is, but can you see through their illusion going underground . Can scott bennett, im a former United StatesArmy Psychological Warfare officer, really served in the state Department Counterterrorism office under investor del daily the. So i wanted to come here to russia in the dawn bass area and to gather the facts, to take back to the american people, the hold on bass of the front line. So this is where the bombs and the bullets are raging. This is where people are dying, this is where the buildings are exploding, the goal, i wanted to see 1st hand the scars of war, the acceptance. And im here to plan with you whatever you do. You do not watch my new show. Search like why watch something thats so different whitelisted opinions that he wont get anywhere else. Welcome to please or do have the state department c i a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. Choose your fax for you. Go ahead, change and whatever you do. Dont want my show stay main street because im probably going to make you uncomfortable. My show is called stretching. But again, you probably dont wanna watch it because it might just change the way you the thing that was informative with them for the gifts for the state of celia was this because they did just wouldnt care to get a car through the new year. Oh for g, i teach so i know for me teaching the scholars that should go and you have to do this. Im going to last i look forward to with that the for shes my, its the ocean by cheese a little bit. Lets move im oh no, im really starting from 1st month to mostly mounted water to boom. Let me look into that. I will just, i get i as well as to the lowest, the dates im going to, ill study to the, the cussing and you see the shortest finish. This is just all just for good news. Im a section of 20th. Im going to do friday is the material ordering the power of people for the for sure. Interested in the 10 most of 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 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 field of diesel. And ive ation water and wasteWater Treatment. And the di 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 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 had been used to ensure the safe and efficient and you use a water. 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 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 uncreative 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, as it in to 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. Youll do that i. What is that policies and context your pick does in was probably about a concludes legs and a couple of stand out for the, you know, its you and comprehensive historical management strategies. Sync up with has implemented advice technologies as new watch a reachability phase based on what type of Drinking Water standards i didnt think of the approaches like the deep dot net switch system to optimize. We thought the efficiency and what that does the stand with your feet are the countries with not the 2 minutes in resorted meant import denmark, the netherlands, and so we did. Its the north florida, minnesota, off the thing is technology straightened up and 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 known for successful Risk Management likes and up or then my then a deadlines entry, the envelope on being as an off, you know, as an instructor, this and technologies, these things were edwins treatment process. So this member embodied those, and he was supposed to support what the use coupled with if hes still in the centralized of systems to minimize energy cost of sending transport costs, at least slowly. A stream dont regulate sense and protective. Automated policies, incentivize complaints and data continuously implementing visual treatments on thats what a lot of public o m s. Complaints and community and government and introduce foster quoted of what comes out of his son and, and what it does to watch safe. And im seeing the auto system of the, of the spent please resort management practices. And what recent Technological Advancements have been particularly promising in the fields of purifying wastewater. Yeah, there are so many the septic and whats a bit of vitamins nowadays being restored or but i think thats a helpful promising results. Any improvement, what for quality and resource availability Management Technologies . So this slide what else will sees and none of the reason why i dont know if is the reason of what if we shouldnt be 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 by products. What are what emerging technologies like micro betsy old sales and electrica
