Assignment:
Part. 1:
Answer the following questions below using correct APA references and citations. Each answer needs to be about 150 words at least.
1. Discuss water conservation actions and reuse strategies in parts of the world with limited and/or minimal rain.
2. Some have concerns about direct use of treated wastewater for drinking water. Why does aquifer storage help dissuade these concerns?
3. Which emerging contaminants are of concern in water supplies?
4. Explain how water storage in aquifers relates to water reuse.
5. Identify sustainable practices for water use and wastewater treatment.
6. Assess the overall energy use and carbon foot print of water and wastewater utilities.
7. Describe groundwater banking. What is its purpose with wastewater?
8. What are irrigation and urban distribution systems meant for? How do they help keep our water sustainable?
Part. 2: Wastewater Treatment Technology Report
Resources: University of Phoenix Material: City Council Reports and the City of Kelsey City Council information available through the City of Kelsey Virtual Organizations Portal.
This report must address needed upgrades to the city's wastewater treatment plan to accommodate new industries in the area. The report must include treatment-residuals handling.
• Assume the two industries your team selected for the Learning Team Rationale assignment are moving into Kelsey.
• Write a 500 -word report to the city council describing the wastewater treatment technology your team is proposing for the City of Kelsey. Consider the new industries moving into town.
• Address the following questions in your report:
o How must you modify the treatment system to accommodate the new industries and the projected population growth?
o Which treatment technologies would you choose for a new plant? Why?
o Which treatment technologies could be updated or modified instead of being replaced?
• Format your report consistent with APA guidelines.
Part. 3: Water Conservation and Reuse Report
This report must outline mandatory and voluntary conservation techniques the City of Kelsey should deploy to preserve it water supplies for the future. The report must address water reuse and sustainability.
• Create a 500 -word report on water conservation and reuse.
• Include the following:
o Which water-conservation techniques should be included in the plan for the City of Kelsey?
o Which conservation techniques must be mandatory?
o Which water reuse options would be considered?
• Format your report consistent with APA guidelines.
Part. 4: Wastewater Technology Systems
• Research current and advanced wastewater treatment technologies used around the world.
• Choose a major water reuse project in a large metropolitan city anywhere in the world.
• Create a 750- to 1,050-word paper addressing the following:
o Describe at least five wastewater treatment and advanced treatment technologies currently in use.
o What is the purpose of each treatment process unit?
o Which standards does the treatment facility need to meet and why?
o Does the selected process include aquifer storage? If so, what benefits does aquifer storage offer? If not, what benefits may aquifer storage offer?
o What is the current energy carbon footprint? Does the facility employ environmentally friendly technologies or other energy-saving mechanisms to reduce its carbon footprint? If not, what could be done?
o Where does the water go after treatment and what is it used for?
• Cite at least three sources other than your text.
• Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
