As communities face water supply challenges amidst continued population growth, urbanization, prolonged and severe droughts and climate change, water reuse is attracting increasing attention. MEB will be hosting a webinar, solution driven conversations are vital for the future of our country and moving towards a more sustainable way of living.
The scarce freshwater resources are decreasing in quality due of an increase in pollution and the insufficient treatment of effluent, caused by urbanization, industry, mining, agriculture, energy use and accidental water pollution.
At a municipal level, modular packaged water treatment plants are suitable for meeting the various water treatment needs of growing communities, whether in metropolitan or rural areas. Packaged water treatment plants must conform to all the existing and changing regulations of the future and are designed to be adaptable and flexible.
Sewage treatment, also known as domestic wastewater treatment or municipal wastewater treatment – is any water that deteriorates in quality through anthropogenic influence and comprises of liquid waste discharged by communities, businesses, industry, and/or agriculture, and can come with a wide range of potential problems.
Every day large amounts of toxic effluent are discharged into the ocean either down the drains or via the wastewater treatment plants. Water rights refer to legal rights to use water from a specified source. Water rights authorize entities like property owners or private companies to use, sell, divert, or manage the water. The Constitution is very specific about water, a resource that is essential to all life. The electrolytes in water render it an essential part of daily nutrition.
Energy generation processes require excessive amounts of water. The African continent needs to adequately plan water shortages into their energy planning models to ensure more sustainable energy planning, design and implementation to avoid water quality deterioration and environmental pollution.
Water Sensitive Urban Design can assist with lowering the frequency and severity of flooding in the cities, channel erosion, and destruction of aquatic habitat often followed by watershed urbanisation.
