The potential for reusing treated municipal wastewater for irrigation in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
This paper elaborates on the chemical composition of wastewater at selected Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) in Jordan. These plants have immense potential of providing reused treated water for irrigation. Samples from treated effluents analysed to study the efficiency of the impact of treated water on irrigation. The results revealed the effluents from WWTPs could be used for irrigation with ...

What is Geomembrane used for in Civil Engineering?
Geomembranes are synthetic materials used extensively in civil engineering for various applications related to containment, environmental protection, and water management. They are typically made of polymers like high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and other flexible materials. Geomembranes serve several critical functions in civil ...

Project - Energy Efficient Water Reuse with Maintenance at Southern Oklahoma
The reuse of produced water is becoming pivotal to the continued application of fracturing hydrocarbon recovery techniques. While the sector’s economic and market conditions remain soft, an innovative, cost effective solution is being demonstrated at this facility. Benefits including reduced chemical costs and improved SRB (Sulfur Reducing Bacteria) APB (Acid Producing Bacteria) control are ...

First decentralized wastewater treatment system in Lao PDR
Wastewater treatment as part of the sanitation system is an important environmental service that is closely linked to water management. The poor sanitation management in Lao PDR generally contributes to wastewater pollution especially in the urban areas. The major water source for urban supply is surface water since most towns are located along the rivers as groundwater ...

How to tap the energy savings in greywater
Many operators of offices, hospitals, hotels, large condos, and other buildings are aware of the need to save money and reduce their environmental impact, through better water management. The result has been the growth of ways to reduce water consumption, ranging from low-flow show-crheads to landscaping that requires minimal watering. Building operators are also aware of a similar need to ...

Produced-water Recycling and Energy Reduction for Central Oklahoma
Enhanced oil and gas recovery (fracturing) techniques and water go hand in hand. Current pressures including limited fresh water sources, transportation, fracturing volume requirements, and disposal costs and restrictions are driving the development of new water management strategies. Recycling and managed biologic treatment of surface water is proving to be a cost-effective, more environmentally ...

European waters - current status and future challenges - a synthesis
The Europe 2020 strategy is the European Union's strategy for economic growth in Europe over the next decade. This strategy envisages the development of a 'greener', more environmentally friendly economy in Europe. Sustainable water management is a critical element of this green economy because healthy and resilient ecosystems provide the services needed to sustain human well‑being and our ...

Where Is the Most Water Reuse Taking Place?
Water reuse is becoming increasingly important as water scarcity becomes prevalent throughout the world. Whether it’s referred to as water reuse, water recycling, water reclamation, or another name, the resulting purified wastewater can be used in many applications, both potable and nonpotable. In some places, water reuse has been slow to catch on, particularly because of the so-called ...

A fresh approach to water practices
Science is meeting the challenge of finding ways to reduce Australia's wasteful water practices and improve the way we use and manage this finite resource. In the regional NSW town of Goulburn, just down the road from Australia’s national capital, water supplies earlier this year fell to less than 10 per cent of capacity. In most of Australia’s major cities demand is close to or equalling supply ...
