The ar±cle discusses water treatmentprocesses and the opera±on of a modern water treatment plant as of 2015. Topics covered include theuse of lakes, rivers, and reservoirs as common surface water sources, the pretreatment of raw water, andthe processes of coagula±on, ²occula±on, sedimenta±on, ³ltra±on, disinfec±on, and corrosion control.Bozkurt, I., Karakilcik, M., & Dincer, I. (2014). Water desalina±on technologies u±lizing conven±onaland renewable energy sources. Interna±onal Journal Of Low Carbon Technologies, 9(1), 1-19.doi:10.1093/ijlct/cts052Water is one of the earth’s most abundant resources, covering about three-quarters of the planet’ssurface. Yet, there is an acute shortage of potable water in many countries, especially in Africa and theMiddle East region. The reason for this apparent contradic±on is, of course, that∼97.5% of the earth’swater is salt water in the oceans and only 2.5% is fresh water in ground water, lakes and rivers and thissupplies most human and animal needs. Tackling the water scarcity problem must involve be´er andmore economic ways of desalina±ng seawater. This ar±cle presents a comprehensive review of waterdesalina±on systems, whether operated by conven±onal energy or renewable energy, to convert salinewater into fresh water. These systems comprise the thermal phase change and membrane processes, inaddi±on to some alterna±ve processes. Thermal processes include the mul±stage ²ash, mul±ple eµectsboiling and vapour compression, cogenera±on and solar dis±lla±on, while the membrane processesinclude reverse osmosis, electrodialysis and membrane dis±lla±on.Roberts, A. S. (2011). Technology and Engineering: Sanitary and Storm Water Treatment. Technology &Engineering Teacher, 70(7), 4-12.The ar±cle focuses on the issue of trea±ng sanitary water. Crea±ng and sustaining a viable sanitary sewersystem is one of the most essen±al components to the development of a healthy community. Thesurvival of the inhabitants depends on the elimina±on of human waste and water puri³ca±on. Duringheavy rainfall or snowmelt, the wastewater volume in a combined sewer system can exceed the capacityof the sewer system or treatment plant. So the combined sewer systems are designed to over²ow anddischarge excess wastewater directly to nearby streams, rivers, or other water bodies.Flint water crisis: Lawmakers target aid; biz provides help.
