Charles River Watershed Assoc: Rain Garden Fact Sheet
Rain gardens are landscaped areas that collect and filter stormwater runoff. Vegetation and layers of soil and mulch filter out pollutants as stormwater infiltrates. Properly designed rain gardens can effectively remove many pollutants like bacteria, nitrogen, phosphorus, and heavy metals. Rain gardens reduce stormwater runoff volumes while beautifying landscapes and providing wildlife habitat. Installation costs $10-$12 per square foot but rain gardens provide both environmental and aesthetic benefits compared to traditional stormwater management.
No to plastic bottles
Australia aims to reduce bottled water consumption and encourage the use of filtered tap water instead. While bottled water consumption is high in Australia at over 380 million litres annually, bottled water costs nearly 2000 times more than tap water and over 50% of plastic bottles end up in landfill. Water filters provide a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly alternative to bottled water by removing contaminants from tap water.
Water Use & Management in California
The document discusses water use and management in California. It states that water use is divided into urban (10%), agricultural (40%), and environmental (50%) sectors. The urban sector alone uses over 3 trillion gallons per year, while agriculture uses around 12 trillion gallons annually for irrigation. The main problem outlined is that California does not make wise or efficient use of its limited water supply, given the state's dry conditions and ongoing drought. Solutions proposed include using more efficient irrigation systems, reducing water-intensive crops and livestock, and providing incentives for conservation.
15June_watersavingtips
This document provides 10 tips for homeowners to conserve water both inside and outside their home. It begins by stating that California is experiencing a severe drought and mandatory water use reductions have been ordered. It then lists 10 tips which include replacing old toilets and showerheads, fixing leaks, using water efficient appliances, watering lawns only when needed, and planting drought resistant plants. The document aims to help homeowners reduce their water usage and consumption to help address the ongoing drought.
Biology
Reclaimed water or recycled water is treated wastewater that is used for landscaping irrigation, groundwater recharge, and occasionally stream flow augmentation to benefit ecosystems. While various wastewater recycling technologies aim to reuse flowback and produced water from drilling in a cost-effective way, there is no agreement on the best approach, as methods differ in their use of chemicals, electricity, or solids removal. Agriculture has the highest water consumption but using reclaimed water for farming often faces resistance from conservative farmers uncomfortable with change, though water use varies significantly by crop type.
Solar Water Purification
The document discusses solar water purification projects in disaster-affected coastal areas of Bangladesh. It describes how coastal communities suffer from lack of access to drinking water, having to travel long distances. The solar water pump (SWP) projects address this by pumping ground or surface water through pipelines to distribution points near households using solar energy. Over 122 projects have provided safe drinking water to over 50,000 households, totaling 1.9 million liters daily. Local management committees own and maintain the systems, collecting small fees for sustainability. The projects empower women by reducing time spent collecting water and enabling income generation opportunities as dispenser operators.

Water conservation system
Water is the “invisible utility”, whose usage patterns are too often overlooked by companies as a cost of doing business. Water bills can account for as much as 20% of a buildings’ utility cost and upwards in process applications. Compared to other countries, Canadian water prices are well below average. The cost of water is likely to rise as watersheds are depleted, water conservation and efficiency standards are legislated, and municipal governments increase rates to fund repairs to aging infrastructure. To reduce water utility bills, building owners must find ways to limit their consumption without sacrificing occupancy comfort.

Groundwater recharge occurs when water from the surface, such as rain or melted snow, seeps down into the ground and replenishes groundwater supplies. This process can happen naturally during rain, or it can be assisted through artificial means. Artificial groundwater recharge is a process whereby water is deliberately infiltrated into shallow aquifers to increase groundwater quantity. This can be done through various methods, such as injecting water into the ground or using percolation pits. The volume of water being abstracted from an aquifer over the long term mustn’t exceed the volume being recharged; otherwise, groundwater supplies will dwindle.
2. Greywater System in Apartments
Looking to save on your water bill? Consider using greywater in your home. Greywater is wastewater from non-toilet plumbing fixtures, like sinks, washing machines and showers. This type of water is generally easier to recycle than blackwater, because it contains fewer contaminants. The method and standard of treatment will depend on the size of your system. To avoid confusion with potable water, make sure all pipes and supply points in your greywater system are clearly labeled. With proper care, a greywater system can help you save up to 40% on your yearly water bill.
3. STP System/ Wastewater Recycling
Wastewater recycling is crucial for preserving our water resources. There are two main types of wastewater – greywater and blackwater. Greywater is easier to treat and recycle than blackwater, which contains harmful bacteria that can cause disease. In order to save our communities from the dangers of raw sewage, one should build wastewater treatment plants and enforce laws against its release into the environment. These treatment plants help us recycle blackwater, making it safe to use again. In recent years, it has been evident that there has been an increasing interest in wastewater reuse as a key part of water conservation efforts. If your society banded together to invest in a sewage treatment plant (STP), it could mean an end to water scarcity and the recycling of water 365 days a year. To make this happen, you would need to get consent for operation from your municipal corporation and employ qualified staff to oversee standard operating procedures. However, if you invested in an eco-friendly STP that uses anaerobic methods and requires little energy, mimicking natural processes, then you could make a huge impact without using diesel or polluting the environment.

7412ENG Solid Waste Management.docx
In Australia, water recycling has become an important strategy to address water scarcity issues exacerbated by climate change. Two primary methods are used: mechanical biological treatment plants and kerbside recycling. Recycled water is used for non-potable purposes like agriculture and landscaping but sometimes also for drinking. While recycling provides environmental benefits and alternative water sources, it also faces operational and maintenance challenges. The costs of recycling depend on water quality, required treatment levels, and project scale.
Water Sensitive Urban Design
The document discusses key principles of water sensitive urban design including protecting natural waterways, integrating storm water treatment into landscapes, reducing runoff and peak flows, and protecting water quality. It provides statistics on household water consumption and savings from water efficient appliances. Recommendations are given for water efficient toilets, showerheads, faucets, and other fixtures that can save significant amounts of water and energy. Case studies and initiatives from the EPA and state environmental agencies on water conservation planning and pollution prevention are also summarized.

Sustainable development aims to meet human needs while preserving natural systems for future generations by using resources sustainably without compromising the environment. Water resources management is one of the most important challenges faced and sustainable management of watersheds, rainwater harvesting, water conservation, and water recycling can help ensure sustainable water supplies. Recycling water provides environmental benefits by decreasing water extraction from sources and reducing pollution.
Ensuring a Safe, Sustainable Future Water Supply--Case Study
By 2060, water usage in Texas is projected to exceed available supply due to population growth. An additional 8.5 million acre-feet of new water sources per year will be needed. The document examines strategies proposed by the Texas Water Development Board to meet future demand, including increasing conventional sources by 60%, conservation by 24%, and developing alternative sources like desalination, brackish groundwater desalination, rainwater harvesting, aquifer storage and recovery, reuse, and emerging technologies to supply the remaining 16%. A diverse combination of solutions must be implemented to ensure a sustainable water supply for the state.
waterlocker Business Plan 2010
waterlocker Inc. is developing a system to provide safe drinking water to homes and businesses in Nova Scotia by installing water containment units that can store enough water for a family of four for 3-4 months. The company aims to address concerns about water safety and establish a more efficient drinking water management system. waterlocker units would eliminate health risks from contaminated water sources and costs of water treatment systems by providing monitored, abundant clean water with no waste. The business plan outlines production of units, a delivery service, locations of contractors and vehicles across Nova Scotia, with projections of $3.25 million profit from unit sales and $2.8 million from water delivery in the first year.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

The Spread of Water-Recycling Technology for Drinking Use
- 2. With eight offices across California, RMC Water and Environment is dedicated to solving complex water- related issues for its clients. From project planning and regulatory compliance to modeling and program management, the company offers a wide range of services. Because of its flat organizational structure, RMC Water and Environment is able to respond to the unique needs of its client communities for projects involving flood and storm water protection, wastewater treatment, and water recycling. With droughts and water shortages expected to affect half of the world in the next two decades, water recycling, or reclamation, technology is becoming more widespread
- 3. In the United States, states more affected by drought, such as California, are directing resources to funding recycled water technology, the cost of which is steadily decreasing. There are several different techniques for water recycling, depending on the source of the water and its ultimate use. For instance, a new machine can take untreated feces and convert it to drinking water with an additional output of electricity and some ash.
- 4. Whatever its source, recycled drinking water can be as clean, and sometimes even cleaner, than tap water in a developed country. Despite its safety, the largest hurdle for recycled drinking water to overcome is psychological: many people hesitate to drink water that was once full of sewage.
