ENGINEERING IN SOCIETY 
PRESENTATION 
NAME:DZAKLO COURAGE KWASI 
INDEX NO:7739312 
REF. NO:20196307 
PROG: BSc. GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERING
INTRODUCTION 
 ENGINEERING IN SOCIETY is aimed at encouraging 
students early in their programs of study to draw a link 
between their chosen field of engineering and the 
application of this field to the issues that confront the 
day to day lives of people. 
 As an engineering student I have come to the 
realization of the need to make the world a better 
place to live by identifying the world challenges and 
making the necessary efforts of solving them. 
Engineering in society as it stands is my starting point 
of how to systematically, scientifically and 
technologically address the world challenges of 
today which can also be applicable tomorrow too.
COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION AND ITS PROBLEM 
 ABUTIA KPOTA is a farming community in the 
Volta region. 
 RICE FARMING is the lucrative work of all the 
other farming activities. 
 APPLICATION OF HERBICIDES in the farms causes 
unconscious poisoning of the water body which 
is the PROBLEM. 
 CHEMICALS (e.g. 2, 4 D AMINE) from the 
herbicides used in the farm pollute the water 
which the farmers and other inhabitants 
depend on for survival. 
 STOMACH ACHES AND OTHER SERIOUS HEALTH 
SICKNESSES are the results of the poisoning.
RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM 
 RELATION OF THE PROBLEM AND FIELD OF STUDY 
is that control of water pollution is one of the 
responsibilities of a GEOLOGICAL ENGINEER. 
 CLUES FROM FIELD OF STUDY TO CURB DOWN 
THE PROBLEM is simply following the set down 
procedures in identifying the chemicals and 
compounds and continuing to render them 
harmless. 
 TECHNOLOGICAL APPROACH to solving the 
problem is the putting of structures in place to 
control water movement in the field and also to 
other inhabitants that depend on water.
CONCLUSION 
 Stomach aches and other negative effects will be 
eroded if the solution lines are followed. 
 Developments can also be achieved through high 
yield because of the introduction of technology into 
the system.
RECOMMENDATIONS 
 SPECIAL CARE should be taken during the mechanism 
operations. 
 The mechanism can be upgraded to IRRIGATION 
SYSTEM. 
 EXPERTISE should also be included in the operation.
THANK 
YOU
