Environmental Systems Overview

• Systems approach• Looking at all the interrelated parts and their effects on o

another.

• In Environmental systems it is hard to identify all the inteparts

• A practical approach is to simplify the system to a tractabthat behaves in a fashion similar to the real system.

Perth Integrated Water Supply System Unique in Australia

single dam systems in Melbourne and Sydney

Multiple sources provide robust system/security

Groundwater, surface water, desalinated, recycled water

Spread geographically but complex system

Role of groundwater in drought - enables the system to be driven harder - reasonwe have managed through worst years on record but groundwater alsodiminishing

• Water saving measures

• Sprinkler restrictions

• Permanent water saving measures (sprinkler bans)

• what is the social and economic cost of water saving measures vs socialand economic cost of secure water supplies (desalination)?

Need for treatment to drinking water qualit

• Drinking – very small amount (2L per person per day (or 1.3%but requires very high quality

• Toilet flushing, garden watering etc – about 35% - there is noneed for high quality

• Other uses have medium requirements for treatment.

• Fire fighting needs high pressure continuous flow

• Because there is only one conduit (conduit is very expensive

scheme water is treated to the highest required drinking quastandard (as set out by Australian Drinking Water QualityGuidelines).

DO WE REALLY NEED WATER THAT IS TREATED TO SUCH A HIGHSTANDARD FOR ALL OUR WATER USES?

State of Water Quality (UNESCO and Mo2006)

• It is difficult to comprehend the trend of water quality in pu

bodies due to lack of monitoring data.

• However, the Sri Lanka National Water Development Reportpointed out a variety of quality concerns in Sri Lanka, includcontamination by nitrate and bacteria in underground and swaters mainly due to poor sanitation and untreated wastewinsufficient wastewater treatment, toxic chemicals from indagricultural activities, and eutrophication in lakes/reservoirsand MoAIMD 2006).

Waste must be disposed such that:

1. No contamination of drinking water supply

2. It will not give rise to public health hazards by being accessible

to vectors (insects, rodents, etc) that may come in contact with

food or drinking water

3. It will not give rise to a public health hazard by being accessible

to children

4. It will not cause violation of laws or regulations governing water

pollution or sewage

5. It will not contaminate the waters of any water body used for

water supply purposes, or recreational purposes.

6. It will not cause any other nuisance

Centralised vs decentralised wastewater treatment

• Historically, much of the WW in Perth has been disposed of via old-stylesingle household septic systems

• WW flow to septic tank, solids settle• supernatant flows to leach drain

• water (effluent) flows to soil and groundwater

• Groundwater supplies 50-60% drinking water

• These decentralised “septic systems” led to

large scale contamination of groundwater, nitrate

• In-fill sewerage – centralised wastewater

treatment was introduced

•  Allows collection and effective treatment of WW

• Re-use: unintentional vs intentional WW re-use

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/unit-1-ce-3610-eepdf 41/65

Treatment of industry wastes

• Specific industries are often required to pre-treat waste prior to discharg

to the sewer system

• This protects the wastewater treatment system from overload and fromcontaminants which it is not designed to remove, e.g. hazardous wastes,persistent organic pollutants

• Water utilities issue permits for discharge of certain contaminants but thquality of discharge must fall within specified guidelines

• Water is sampled/monitored regularly from industry discharge pipes

• Penalties exist for breaching permits

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/unit-1-ce-3610-eepdf 42/65

Flow of Wastewater

• Wastewater comprises about 90% of all scheme water

consumed (minus that used outside the house) plus water thinfiltrates the wastewater collection system from groundwateor rain

• Australian communities generate large volumes ofwastewater with domestic water use alone producing abo

70,000 litres per person per year• Perth + environs consumes 250-300 GL/a scheme water

• for a city of 2m pop this is 125-150 KL/a per person, so about 50% ofwater used is re-collected as wastewater

• good scope for recycling of water (110GL/a Perth)

Indirect and environmental reuse options:

The options are:

irrigation (parks, gardens, golf courses, important for

inland locations) direct potable (DPR)

indirect potable (what’s the difference between IPR

and DPR?)

non-potable urban (third pipes, private grey water

systems, e.g. BIOMAX)

municipal (shires, councils, vehicle washdown, dustsuppression)

agricultural, horticultural, tree farms, aquaculture

industrial.

Air Resource Management System

• Clean air is a fundamental requirement of life

• but, we cannot chose the quality unless we want to relocate• population is at the mercy of the emitters and relies on enforceme

effective air quality regulations

• Objective:

• Protect the health and welfare of the people

by understanding what quality is needed

Quality that we need depends on

• What quality can we stand (tolerable limit)?

• The tolerable limit changes from person to person but is defgreater than zero

• (e.g. different people have varying perception of odour)

• How much is it going to cost?

• Air resource management is instituted based on:• Air quality is being adversely affected and there is a need for corre

• There is a strong potential for future problem

Solid Waste Management System

• Considered as a problem to be solved as cheaply as possible

• Traditionally not considered problematic

• But..

• Lack of adequate landfill space

• Failure of existing landfills to protect the ground water

• The fear of atmospheric emissions of cancer causing compounds s

dioxins and furans from incinerators have driven the need for bettwaste management systems.

• Importance of safe water supply was realised long ago but propertreatment before drinking and before disposal didn’t start until recently

• Asian and Middle East archaeological excavations show highly developed

communities with piped water supplies, latrines, and sewers.

• Similarly Minoan civilizations which existed 4000 yrs ago even had flushingtoilets connected to the houses

• Romans were expert in public health engineering (aquaducts)

• Sewers were mainly for stormwater and no foul sewage was allowed to

discharge into the sewer until 1815 in Britain.

• In 1579, there were only 3 latrines in a street with sixty houses in London.

When the population is small it was not a problem, but whenpopulation increased diseases and death increased leading tocommission of Sir Edwin Chadwick in London to investigatethe situation in 1842.

He concluded that health depended on sanitation, sanitationwas an engineering issue requiring improved water supply tohouses with proper arterial drainage system, a single authorityshould administer all sanitary matters in an area and thus he iscalled the modern father of the disciplines of public health andpublic health engineering

• 1847 - A law was enacted making it mandatory todispose foul sewage into sewers

• Sewer drained into Thames river

• Poor construction of sewer (with leaks contaminatinshallow aquifer which was used as drinking watersupply) and Thames river which served as drinkingwater supply for part of the customers

• This led to much more serious problems resulting inCholera death of 10,000 people in 1854

 Although van Leeuwenhoek observed bacteria under a microscope in 1680their true nature was not known until Pasteur in 1860 showed their role in thcause of disease

In 1876 Koch developed culture techniques for the growth and identificationmicrobial species.

By 1870 modifications were made to the discharge points of sewers andintake points of drinking water, greatly reducing the incidence of waterbornedisease.

Similar developments took place in many European and North American cit

in parallel. Li fe expectancy in UK was do ubled in just 10 years andpopu lation increased in major cit ies.

In US it began after the “sanitary awakening” of the 1850s when waterborndiseases reached epidemic proportions.

• These developments did not reach all the population

• In 1975 80% of rural populations and 23% of urban populations still didn’t havesanitation

• UN named 1981-1990 as International Drinking Water and Sanitation Decade wproviding safe drinking water and adequate sanitation for all by 1990

• Although the program reached many, the people birth rate in developing countthat UN could not meet all the demand

• In 2000 it launched a programme called “Safe Water 2000”: More pragmatic ap

But….• 780 million people in developing nations lack access to

sanitation and clean drinking water (1 in 9 people)

• 3.4 million people die each year from preventable waterrelated disease

• The water and sanitation crisis claims more lives throughdisease than any war claims through guns

• More people have a mobile phone than a toilet
