Water intake protection system
Introduction One of the very first steps in any drinking and clean Water Treatment Plant (WTP) is the abstraction of water from a water source. Typical water sources used for these applications include boreholes, springs, rivers, reservoirs, lakes and the sea. Each water source presents a specific set of challenges and characteristics yet they may all be subject to anthropogenic pollution ...

Raw water intake monitoring - Case Study
The Situation Hydrocarbons in municipal water supplies, including fresh water and desalination systems, are commonly limited to less than 1 part per million. Surface water from rivers, lakes, or the sea with marine traffic, nearby pipelines, or regular flooding can be contaminated by hydrocarbons. Freshwater treatment systems can be damaged by hydrocarbons or allow them to pass through ...

Desalination: Looking to the future
Untitled Document Even though the volume of the earth's water is vast, less than 10 million of the 1 400 million cubic metres of water on the planet is of low salinity and suitable for use after applying conventional water treatment alone. The other 97.5% of the water on our planet is to be found in the oceans, where it is officially classified as seawater. Desalination ...

Unique Chinese wetland park monitors water 24/7 - Case Study
Project background The Deyang area in southwest China was struck hard by an earthquake in 2008. Since then, reconstruction has taken place with a tremendous speed and the urban population grew exponentially. Due to this urbanisation, the city’s water supply system can not meet its rapidly growing water demand. Currently, two-thirds of all Chinese cities don’t have sufficient water ...

Direct Potable Reuse: Benefits for Public Water Supplies, Agriculture, the Environment and Energy Conservation
INTRODUCTION Direct potable reuse (DPR), in which purified municipal wastewater is introduced into a water treatment plant intake or directly into the water distribution system, is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative to developing new water sources (Tchobanoglous et al., 2011). The rationale for DPR is based on the technical ability to reliably produce purified water that meets all ...
