Recreational Use

Existing and potential recreational uses in a number of very different water supply catchments managed by two major N.S.W. authorities were investigated. Community attitudes to recreational use of both land based and water based activities were analysed together with reactions to increased charges to cover costs of ensuring safe water quality. Threats to water quality were studied and additional management and water quality control measures formulated.

Potable Water Supply

Since five million people have to rely on Ruhr water as a source for potable water supply, quality and quantity aspects of the river are very important for the region. In the last 20 years, 2.1 × 109 DM have been spent for water quality control in the Ruhr basin. The most important types of plants and the progress in river water quality are described.

Затронуты вопросы, связанные с организацией контроля качества питьевой воды, в том числе производственного контроля, в соответствии с действующими санитарными и отраслевыми нормативными документами. Приведен опыт ГУП «Водоканал Санкт-Петербурга» по формированию программ производственного контроля, выбора контрольных точек в распределительной сети с учетом оценки риска при ухудшении качества воды у потребителя. Обозначены инициативы по внесению в нормативные акты, касающиеся организации производственного контроля, обязательности использования автоматизированных систем контроля качества воды по основным индикаторным показателям (температура, мутность, цветность, рН, общий органический углерод, остаточный хлор). Это позволит повысить эффективность управления системой водоснабжения, оперативно реагировать на изменения состава воды, проводить постоянный мониторинг состояния устойчивости системы с переходом на цифровые технологии («умный водоканал»). The issues related to the arrangement of the drinking water quality control, including in-process monitoring, in accordance with the current sanitary and sectorial regulations are touched upon. The experience of SUE «Vodokanal of St. Petersburg» in developing production control programs, selecting control points in the distribution network with account of the risk assessment in case of water quality deterioration at the consumer’s tap, is presented. Initiatives for including into the statutory regulations on the arrangement of production control, the mandatory use of automated water quality control systems for the main indicator values (temperature, turbidity, color, pH, total organic carbon, residual chlorine) are outlined. The amendments will provide for improving the efficiency of the water supply system management, responding promptly to the changes in water composition, and continuously monitoring the state of the system sustainability with the transition to digital technologies («smart water utility»).

Water Quality Control

Mining cities have undergone the process of extensive exploitation, which always results in a series of water issues. Integrated water resource management is necessary in improving water supply, allocation and quality without damaging economic development. This article constructs a linear optimization model including a ‘Top-Down’ socio-economic mode, and ‘Bottom-Up’ water quality control and water supply–demand modes with integrated water resource management focused on water allocation and water reclamation. Based on computer simulation, the model can propose a water resource management under the constraints of water supply–demand and water quality control, and the model can precisely predict the influences of water resource management on economic development, water utilization and water quality. Taking Ordos, a Chinese national resource city, as a case study, this model addresses a detailed water resource management, including a water allocation plan among industries and water reclamation plan with technologies, selection, arrangement and subsidies. The implementation of water resource management can fulfill multiple objectives on water quantity, water quality and sustainable economic development. This study indicates that water resource management with a comprehensive dynamic model can be a maneuverable approach to realize the sustainable development of economic growth and water resource utilization, as well as formulate the regional development plan.

Recreational Use

The Water Board has a number of catchment areas under its control. These catchment areas are used to supply water of acceptable quality and quantity to over 3.4 million people. A range of catchment protection measures is applied to these catchment areas depending on distance from and length of time from the offtake points. Several recreation pursuits have been permitted within the terms of the protection measures. To gain a view of public perception and acceptance the Board in 1986 completed a public review and survey of the present and potential future use of its water supply catchment areas and storages for recreational purposes. The study considered whether community recreational demands were being met and whether some or all of these demands can be satisfied without harming water quality or the environment. From the study, the Board has concluded that there is both broad community support for its strong protection of the water supply and significant interest in use of additional recreational facilities. Accordingly, the Board has identified a number of additional requested recreational opportunities that can be introduced while maintaining present levels of water quality protection and conservation values. These additional items include additional nature walks near some of the existing dam picnic areas, escorted tours of the catchment areas, walking trails on catchment perimeters and increased river bank fishing in the Warragamba Catchment Area. Additional facilities are being introduced at Prospect Reservoir in the populated western suburbs of Sydney including a bicycle/jogging/walking track, BMX track, skateboard area and historic lookout and picnic area. These new initiatives will be introduced as part of an ongoing programme of review. Additional future activities will be introduced where possible. The Board however is concerned that no recreational activity should be introduced that is likely to cause future problems with water quality protection. Future introduction of increased water treatment levels will enable a further review of catchment protection policies but the high costs of such treatment will cause the Board to delay those introductions as long as practicable. In brief, the Board has fully reviewed its present policy on recreational use and has concluded that the general pol icy is appropriate and has strong community support. The implementation of that policy is being modified, however, to provide for acceptable additional facilities for which there is a demonstrated community need.

Strategic Study

The authors use Kuzbass as the example to study strategic approach and methodology of choosing and implementing vanguard (perspective) physicochemical and biological technologies for water treatment plants. They also examine the requirements for purification and disinfection of drinking and waste waters under present conditions characterized by increased anthropogenic loads. These procedures should be carried out with controlling a number of new types of dangerous contaminants. Currently there is no provision for systematic analysis of their presence in water sources before and after their treatment. The authors study the interrelation between forecasting, strategizing, target programming, project management of planning and realization of the priority of implementation of vanguard physicochemical and biological technologies of vanguard physicochemical and biological technologies for water treatment at the water supply and drainage utilities. In the strategic study the authors adduce the overview of perspective trends of development of vanguard physicochemical and biological technologies and the examples of their technical realization which allow fulfilling the strategy’s priority under study within the set of priorities “Development strategy of life supply systems (water supply and water waste). Water utilities as “green economy” translators”. The article studies the levels of water quality control as well as common approaches to building regional water quality control centres and implementing online water quality control. The authors adduce the main competitive advantages that the Kemerovo region possesses to fulfill the priority. Strategizing of the implementation of vanguard physicochemical and biological technologies will provide the opportunity for realizing long-term (up to 15 years long) target programs in water supply and drainage areas in order to improve the performance of water industry.
