Abstract:

This study evaluates the current state of Dhaka's potable water and sanitation amenities. Moreover, the study addresses 6.1 and 6.2 of Sustainable Development Goal 6, which calls for optimal sanitation services and present conditions regarding water quality in Dhaka. In addition, the DWASA is the sole provider of potable water in the city, and as such, they are having a hard time keeping up with the demand for potable water. In addition, a significant number of private residences lack access to potable water and sanitary sanitation services on their properties. In order to complete this study,

In 2009 the Haitian Directorate of Potable Water and Sanitation (DINEPA) identified an inadequately trained and under-staffed rural workforce as one of their main institutional challenges. Plans to address this challenge were impacted by the devastating earthquake of January 12, 2010 and the cholera outbreak of October 2010, both of which further complicated Haiti's already poor water and sanitation conditions. Recognizing the importance of DINEPA's institutional priorities, donor and technical assistance groups provided needed support to improve the country's conditions and build the rural wa

Abstract:

A source of clean drinking water is essential, and the Aztecs were quite advanced in providing it. While London still drew its drinking water from the polluted Thames River as late as 1854, the Aztecs brought potable water to Tenochtitlán from springs on the mainland by means of the aqueduct built by Nezahualcoyotl between 1466 and 1478. A second aqueduct was constructed in 1,499–1,500 by the ruler Ahuizotl when the first aqueduct became inadequate. Although the Aztecs had no citywide drainage system, and much of the wastewater ended up in the lake surrounding the city, they had a system to ha

The majority of available water resources are unfit for human consumption or for use in activities dependent on these resources.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore water management practices in four criteria – access to potable water; despoilment or pollution levels; grade of sanitation architecture; and grade of delivery architecture – in a variety of different Latin American and European nations to establish techniques that are currently been utilised in Europe that could improve water management in Latin America. Design/methodology/approach A systematic review of the available literature on water management in Europe and Latin America is performed to uncover differences and similarities in Latin American

Abstract:

The water supply and sanitation sector has always been overlooked in the comparison to the other sectors both in the sense of budgetary allocation, in sustainability of development projects as well as execution of drinking water supply, sanitation schemes and provision of potable water strategies. The drinking water and sanitation system are closely linked with each other. The Government of Pakistan established the National Drinking Water Policy in September 2009, with the goal of providing clean and safe drinking water to the entire Pakistani population by 2025, including the poor and vulnera

Abstract The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) and the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (Sanitation Districts) are exploring the potential of a Regional Recycled Water Program (RRWP) to beneficially reuse water currently discharged to the Pacific Ocean. The program would consist of a new advanced water treatment (AWT) facility at the Sanitation Districts' Joint Water Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP) in Carson, California, USA, capable of producing an ultimate flow of 581 MLD (150 MGD). The full-scale facility would treat effluent from the JWPCP using an

Abstract:

Population growth and climate change has a huge impact on water availability. To ensure a secure water supply, water-reuse concepts and its implementation are gaining more and more importance. Additionally, water saving potentials to optimize the drinking and water reuse availability have to be considered. However, limited spatial planning opportunities and missing regulation to provide treated wastewater according to the “fit-for-purpose” principle are often hindering its application. Some countries, such as the USA or Singapore, have been leading the way for decades in implementing water-reu

Abstract:

Cholera, caused by Vibrio cholerae, poses a significant public health challenge in Africa, especially the Sub-Saharan regions with Zambia, Zimbabwe, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, and Comoros experiencing the most scourge. It is an acute diarrheal disease propagated by several factors including poor sanitation, inadequate potable water, political unrest as well as climate change. Prompt diagnosis, replacement of fluids and electrolytes, antibiotic therapy and enhanced hygiene measures are necessary for the effective management of cholera cases while international collaboration and vac
