    Increasing Water Security: Large Scale Water Management Projects

    Using named examples, assess the contribution of large scale water management projects in increasing water security. 15 Water security means having access to sufficient, safe, clean and affordable water. Theoretically, the world’s poorer countries are the most water insecure, suffering from both physical and economic water scarcity. One solution to tackle water insecurity is through large scale water projects for example the Three Gorges project in China, the South-North transfer project also in China and the restoration of the Aral Sea. However there is much controversy over whether these schemes are actually sustainable and therefore beneficial in the long run. The Three Gorges da project in China blocks the Yangtze River; it cost $50 billion just for the construction, and was fully operational on the 4th of July 2012. This cost doesn’t account for the environmental and social costs that also came with the scheme. The dam drains 1.8million km2 and will supply Shanghai’s population of 13 million along with Chongqing’s population of 3 million with sufficient supplies of water. Not only has it provided people with water but it’s also the worlds’ largest hydroelectric scheme generating 18000MW of electricity, instead of using 50 million tonnes of coal each year. As well as this, it is seen as a flood protection and can save many lives and cut financial costs created by flood damage. When the operation is looked at from this perspective, it is seen to be a success and suggests that large scale projects increase water security, however when analysed from a different view, many problems being to arise. An example of these costs are factors such as the dammed waters drowned 100,000 hectares of arable land, along with 13 cities, many smaller settlement and 13 factories. 1.9 million people have been displaced from their homes and land because of reasons. As well as social impacts, many environmental issues were raised such as ecological impacts on fisheries, biodiversity…

    Water and Quality Contamination

    Water and Quality Contamination

    Background: According to the Millennium Development Goals Report 2012, 783 million people, or 11 per cent of the global population, remain without access to an improved source of drinking water. Also the United Nations has long been addressing the global crisis caused by insufficient water supply to satisfy basic human needs and growing demands on the world’s water resources to meet human, commercial and agricultural needs (un.org). In this experiment water quality and contamination of groundwater was investigated. First, I observed the effects that many pollutants have on groundwater. I predict that in this experiment the oil and vinegar will create the large amount of contamination in the water, while the laundry detergent will just create an aroma smell to it. Considering the smells and color to these ingredients I think that it will cause the water quality to have a bad smell and cause the water to be very cloudy. Once filtering the contaminated water, the water will be clear and purified. Second, I will experiment water treatment and filtering. I predict that once the contaminated water is treated and filtered that it will leave me with less contamination or none at all. Then for the last experiment, I will determine the difference between bottled water and tap water to discover any contamination. I predict that the tap water will be the most contaminated and with the most chemicals in it, while the bottled waters; Dasani and Fiji will be completely filtered and free of any chemicals.…

    Water Quality Standards

    Water Quality Standards

    Water quality standards are determined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which has the responsibility to carry out the goal to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation’s waters. Water quality pollutants such as pesticides, cleaning solvents, and detergents are found in water due to the activities of humans. Other pollutants such as nutrients and sediments are a problem only under certain conditions. Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) is enforceable under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Drinking water standards are much stricter on the safety of water. Due to the risk of cancer the MCL was lowered to 10 L from 50L because 50L was too high. If these pollutants are not filtered out of the water they can cause harm to the plants, animals, and human bodies. EPA has to approve the safety of the water before it can be used. According to EPA 92% of the people in the U.S. have access to drinking water that meets the drinking water standards. However over 42,000 rivers, lakes, and estuaries are not meeting the recommended water quality standards. The major problems with these waters are pathogens, mercury, nutrients, other heavy metals, sediments, and oxygen depletion.…

    MSc Dissertation in Water Quality and H

    Parsons and Tredoux (1995) in their research noted that water quality requirement for a particular use plays an important role in the management of water resources and in turn forms an integral part of water quality management. Water is an essential natural resource that supports all life on earth; this can be human beings, animals and vegetation. It is however interesting to note that even though it is vital to have water in our daily lives its availability is not evenly distributed across the countries that make up Southern Africa. This shortage also makes the availability of fresh clean water quite a rare commodity thus in the process posing serious environmental and health hazards to the varied communities. Southern Africa lies in a drought-prone region, which experiences natural drought conditions caused by the extended absence of rainfall. Within Southern Africa and Zimbabwe in particular, drought is considered a critical issue because it underlies many problems encountered in developing water-resources for the people. The occurrence of drought can therefore be attributed to the serious consequences on water quality and availability for domestic and agricultural use, reducing the water supply both in quantity and in quality. The use of soil additives such as manure and fertilizers, livestock production and small scale industries that have mushroomed across Zimbabwe has led to increased concern on their environmental impacts and effects they have on the water quality that is available for human consumption. As such the main objective of this study was to focus on the impact that this is contributing on the…
