An essential resource to all living things is water. According to the United States Geological Survey, only 2.5% of the world’s water is freshwater, which is the amount needed for life to survive (2016). The majority of the freshwater is locked up in glaciers and ice caps. The rest of the freshwater is trapped in soil or underground aquifers. It is easily forgotten that water is a finite resource. Due to global warming, reservoirs are getting smaller and melting earlier than expected. According…

plants, textile industry) although the parcel of treated effluent that is reused is limited. The most important reuse project in the country is located in Wulpen, where treated wastewater is reused for indirect potable water supply. The Wulpen Water Treatment Project treats 2.5 million milligrammes per year by microfiltration, reverse osmosis and the effluent is stored for one to two months in the aquifer prior abstraction, in order to produce potable water (Marecos Do Monte, 2007). In the case…

Water, an essential element for life. Without it, life simply wouldn’t exist. Every living soul revolves around water and water revolves around us. Throughout history humans and other living organisms have congregated towards water. But as time goes by, water becomes polluted and humans would have to adapt to a world without water.

Water and Waste You have all heard that you should conserve water but this may seem odd depending on where you live. In an arid place like the southwestern United States it seems logical to conserve water, but in the Great Lakes region where water appears to be abundant, people are also encouraged to save water. Why are even those with an excess of annual rainfall being encouraged to conserve water? “Water shapes the surface of our planet, and it provided the medium in which life began” (Trefil…

particles mainly used in personal care products such as facial scrubs, shampoos, soaps, lip gloss, toothpaste. The reason why they are such a threat and area of concern because microbeads are smaller than 5 micrometres in size that most wastewater treatment plant technology does not hold the ability to remove it from the waste steam. Factual Background Australia has planned…

Lakes tend to be better sources of freshwater opposed to rivers because the volume of water is generally much greater than a river, meaning pollutants are heavily diluted to smaller concentrations per volume unit of water. This means different treatment methods can be used, which can save money. Had the source selected in Flint been Lake Huron from the beginning, the concentration of chloride ions would have been significantly lower because the concentration is diluted in a greater volume of…

Bottoms Up is an insightful and entertaining article that presents the advantages of drinking filtered sewage water.
