CHAPTER 3.0.0 REQUIREMENTS 3.1.0 FEATURES 3.1.1 Health and hygiene One of the concern for quality water is how safe they are to be used by all human in the world. This also implies to the communities of Sandikhola. If the water is not clean, people are in great risks of getting diseases. This happens now as test showed that there are high level of chloroforms in the water source. Thus, by having clean supply of water the risk of getting diseases decrease substantially. Therefore, health is related closely to water as in the sayings ‘water is the mother of life’. 3.1.2 Affordability The budget for the project has to be economically viable-that is worth to invest in. Therefore, the design would be simple and easy to follow up. Besides, all local resources available such as manpower when put into good use can further cutting down the costs. Therefore, in order for the villagers to enjoy the benefits of having clean water, the main goal is to have affordable costs according to their income so that they can bear with it if no sponsors are not available for funding. 3.1.3 Environmental Friendliness The outcome of this project is to ensure all residents have clean water. Therefore the practice of ensuring environmentally friendly is crucial here. When the project is being carried out, the impacts to the lifestyle of locals in Sandikhola should be keep to as minimum as possible. It is important that it will not add any extra pollutions to the environment especially the water sources. 3.1.4 Safe Storage By having access to clean water, it’s also necessary for the need of a good way to store them especially during the dry seasons where supply is not consistent. Therefore by proper way of storing clean water, they do not need to worry to... ... middle of paper ... ...o that it can be kept to its own nature as before. 3.3.3 Sustainability The new solution should be able to last long in order to provide long-term water purification method for the residents in Sandikhola. Therefore only regular maintenance need to be carried out. Thus, it is not necessary to replace the whole system which can cause more hassles and extra costs. 3.3.4 Risk Factor The implementation of new water purification system carries some risks along with it. Because of the nature of the device and the location in which it will be implemented, the risk factor for the success of this project in Sandikhola is of major concern and should be considered an important criteria for development. These risks must be considered fully before and during the development of the new purification system in order to contribute to its success to provide clean water in Sandikhola.
... upon solution to water access disagreements, social and political powers must be willing to compromise since the risks associated with disagreements regarding water allocation may be too great. As stated by Shiyyab (2004), “If sustained over a period of time, these problems will directly affect social harmony, domestic stability and eventually, regional peace.” (p. 30). Investments must be made by industry as well as local and national governments for purification of wastewater so that clean water, when needed, will be available. The necessity of obtaining water is a fundamental human right and,
The key stakeholders are Peter Vyas, the manager of filtration unit and Cynthia Jackson who is the vice president of water management division. Vyas was convinced that the survival of the unit depended upon innovative growth and thus he appointed a technology evaluation team with the responsibility of using technology to solve the problem of obtaining clean water in remote regions, by developing a small-scale oxidation system that enabled waste-water disinfection in small batches. His utmost concern is the technological aspect of developing the product. On the other hand, Cynthia’s perspective was shaped by the marketing angle of the product. She recommended the development of future proposals using a rigorous three phase process which links the markets analysis and technological development to busines...
This is because only a small part of the population, particularly in developing countries, have access to water of acceptable quality. It is estimated that in some countries only 20% of the rural population has water of satisfactory quality. Based on these statistics, it is clear the urgent need for awareness about caring for water use. Almost without realizing it, we are seriously jeopardizing this essential resource, not for us but for our children's children and their generations, aware that in other parts o...
In the study, the quality of drinking water was tested therefore, the best method was to collect water samples directly from the taps that are used for human consumption in three different areas (shown by A, B and C in figure 1), these three samples were collected from different sections in Kokstad. Due to the cost of testing the samples, only one sample could be collected per area. The taps were first sterilized by wiping it with a clean cloth, making sure the samples are not contaminated. Water was collected and stored in 200ml sterilized bottles the morning of travelling to the laboratory, these were kept in a cooler box and transported to the nearest laboratory (accredited laboratory called Umgeni waters in
Kenya is one of the most water scarce countries in Africa and the world. Therefore, there are many areas with inadequate access to safe and sufficient water. The WHO estimates that only 12% of rural Kenyans have household water connections (WHO/UNICEF, 2004). During the 1980’s, the Kenyan government acknowledged the importance of local initiatives for the management of water resources in rural areas and for the improvement of water supply (Were et al, 2008). Since then, there have been several different water projects throughout the country.
This is saying that children are drinking the contaminated water and are at risk for illnesses or death. Lastly, poor hygiene can also be linked to this problem as well. The United Nations News Centre says, “Poor sanitation and contaminated water are linked to transmission of diseases such as cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery, hepatitis A, and typhoid” (United Nation News Centre). This is implying that poor sanitation and clean water are both laced with the same diseases and that can often end with the same
Have you ever had to walk miles away just to get clean drinking water, or don’t even not have access to clean drinking water? People all over the world, even in North America, don’t have access to clean drinking water or have to walk very far just to drink water. The main areas where this problem is prominent is in third world countries, and this is due to the lack of money and sanitation (Millions Lack Safe Water). Due to this lack of sanitation, water borne diseases can grow and infect people who consume it. Clean water is very important for life, and within this paper I will explain why we need it, how it can affect us, and what it will take to obtain clean water.
Additionally, Water shortage is a major concern in our society today. Millions of people around the planet have restricted access to sanctioned water, predominantly those in third world countries. People can easily be infected with diseases, primarily those who don’t have the luxury of obtaining clean access to
Every living thing requires water for their health. Supply of clean, safe and potable drinking water to the community is utmost important in maintaining positive health measures. The drinking water must be free from fecal microorganisms. Water is, in fact, one of the medium for the transfer of many verity of disease of microbial origin. In the world many peoples arer suffer from water borne diseases. Water receives microorganisms from air, sewage, soil and other organic wastes. Fecal pollution of water leads to introduction of variety of intestinal pathogens that causes water borne diseases (Jacobson and Lan, 1988)
There are many types of pollution. The main types of pollution are water, air, soil, thermal, radioactive, noise, and light. The topic for this experiment is Water Pollution. Water Pollution became a problem in the 1900’s when water started being treated like sewage. Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson on April 22, 1970 because of 1900’s pollution. Water Pollution also affects humans and animals. There was a Cholera outbreak in 1854, before water pollution became a problem, and a Typhoid outbreak in New York from 1900 to 1915. There are multiple possible causes to Water Pollution. Humans let out chemicals into the environment, and when some of those chemicals
Developed countries struggle with managing water consumption. Our high demand in agriculture, industry, and domestic use further complicates this issue. With increasing urbanization and extravagant changes in lifestyle, our use and wasting of water will only increase. As of this year, nearly 1.1 billion people live without clean drinking water and 2.6 billion live without adequate water sanitation. The McDonald's down the street, however, will sell you a 1/3 pounder burger for only 150 gallons. Changes in lifestyle can easily reduce this number and help not only save water, but money as well. Currently, with our diminishing water supply, one of the main goals of humanitarian organizations is ensuring that everyone has t...
Wastewater is the combination of water-carried or liquid wastes starting in the sanitary conveniences of dwellings, industrial or commercial facilities. In addition to this, surface water, groundwater and storm water may also be present. It is any water that has been badly affected in quality by anthropogenic influence. It contains waste from residential, industrial and commercial processes. Municipal water contains industrial wastewater, sewage and gray water. Gray water is the water from sinks and showers. Large industries also produce wastewater.
The combination of safe drinking water and hygienic sanitation facilities is a precondition for health and for success in the fight against poverty, hunger, child deaths and gender inequality. UNICEF works in more than 90 countries around the world to improve water supplies and sanitation facilities in schools and communities, and to promote safe hygiene practices. All UNICEF water and sanitation programmes are designed to contribute to the Millennium Development Goal for water and sanitation: to halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe water and basic sanitation. Key strategies for meeting the water, sanitation and hygiene challenges are to:
Water, a vital resource for every biological phenomenon is essential for human civilization, living organisms and natural habitat. water is a primary input to all goods and services either directly or indirectly; the available quantity and quality can affect the production of goods and services and thus influences the level of economic activities especially in quickly transforming societies, from agricultural based towards industrialized and modernizing economies.
Water is one of the world's most valuable assets, various uses of water have diminished the availability of water resources, therefore proper management is mandatory. Water resource management is an crucial issue from a few edges, for example, advancement of water bodies for future, assurance of accessible water bodies from contamination and misuse.
