River is a natural and man made watercourse in network of river flow and its water. The use of water in upper catchment will reduce the opportunity in using it downstream the catchment. Pollution in headwater would result in sosial cost in the downstream area. In turn if the society in the upper catchment preserve the river, the society downsteam the catchment will be benefit from it. Water is a natural resouces to fulfill life need of the society. Therefore, it needs to be preserved to benefit life of man as well other living matters. To preserve or attain water quality which can be used sustainably by the society with acceptable water quality level, there needs to preserve and control water by with preservation and mitigation of river pollution.

The problem of environmental pollution especially urban water pollution becomes major issue in Indonesia. The cause of water pollution is not only from industrial factory waste disposal but also other causes which become pollution factor. One cause of water pollution is the existence of agricultural activities with the use of the amount of pesticides that exceed the threshold. As regulated in Government Regulation No. 82/2001 on Water Quality Management and Water Pollution Control, it is necessary to manage water quality and control water pollution wisely by taking into account the interests of current and future generations as well as the ecological balance. To overcome the problem of water pollution due to agricultural activities, it is necessary to conduct research on phytoremediation technique by utilizing eceng gondok plant. It is excepted that using this phytoremediation technique can reduce the problem of water pollution due to the use of pesticides on agricultural activities.

In the case of handling rainwater reservoirs, officers are currently overwhelmed, because they have to continue to monitor changes in water level manually. This is ineffective and inefficient because officers must always be present at the location of the water reservoir. While HR is very limited. The purpose of this study is to make an application to monitor and control water levels in rainwater reservoirs with temperature & humidity sensors DHT-22, ultrasonic sensors HC-SR04 and Arduino Uno R3 microcontrollers, so that they can report quickly to staff through email notifications making it easier for staff monitor changes in water level in a rainwater reservoir remotely. This application interface is made using the Arduino programming language, for its web display using the PHP programming language and MySQL database. The results of the trial were obtained as much as 90% of users said the system created was very helpful in controlling the water level of the water reservoir and working in realtime, and as many as 10% of users said the system created was less helpful in controlling the water level of the water reservoir.

Efforts to provide water to developing communities in South Africa have resulted in various types of water supplies being used. This study examined the relationship between the type of water supply and the quality of water used. Source (communal taps, private outdoor and indoor taps) and point-of-use water samples were examined for heterotrophic plate counts (HPC), total and faecal coliforms, E. coli, and coliphages. Ten percent of samples were also analysed for enteric viruses, Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Approximately 320 households were included in a case-control study. In addition, a cross-sectional study was conducted. Both studies examined the relationship between different types of water facilities and diarrhoea among pre-school children. The source water was of good microbial quality, but water quality was found to have deteriorated significantly after handling and storage in both case and control households, exceeding drinking water quality guideline values by 1-6 orders of magnitude. Coliphage counts were low for all water samples tested. Enteric viruses and Cryptosporidium oocysts were not detected. Giardia cysts were detected on one occasion in case and control in-house samples. Comparisons of whether in-house water, after handling and storage, complied with water quality guideline values demonstrated households using communal taps to have significantly poorer quality than households using private outdoor or indoor taps for HPC and E. coli (χ2 = 14.9, P = 0.001; χ2 = 6.6, P = 0.04 respectively). A similar trend (although not statistically significant) was observed for the other microbial indicators. The cross-sectional study demonstrated an apparent decrease in health risk associated with private outdoor taps in comparison to communal taps. This study suggests that a private outdoor tap is the minimum level of water supply in order to ensure the supply of safe water to developing communities.

ABSTRACTThis article analyses how the state in Senegal has managed the hajj since the liberalisation era in the early 2000s. Although the essence of the hajj is religious, it is also deeply political and requires that the state manages complex relations with pilgrims, religious leaders, private travel agencies, politicians and Saudi authorities. This article argues that three inter-related imperatives structure the conduct of the Senegalese state: a security imperative, a legitimation imperative, and a clientelistic imperative. Security concerns lead the state to monitor and control pilgrims travelling to Mecca. Legitimation is seen in the collaborative relations with Sûfi orders and in the framing of the hajj organisation as a ‘public service’. Finally, given the magnitude of financial and symbolic resources attached to the hajj, clientelistic relations are constitutive of state officials’ actions. Overall, despite the post-2000 liberalisation of the hajj, the state has maintained its role as a gatekeeper, regulator and supervisor.

The home network is one of the emerging areas from the last century. However, the growth of the home network market is stationary at present. This paper describes the limitations of the home network system and the requirements for overcoming the current limitations. Also described is a new home network service system known as COWS and its easy installation and scalable operation. COWS consists of power consumption monitor and control devices along with a service server that is a complementary combination of Open Service Gateway initiative (OSGi) and web services. A home network system has a dynamic, heterogeneous, distributed, and scalable topology. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been proposed as a solution that satisfies the requirement of a home network, and OSGi and web services are two successful SOA-based frameworks. An included service server has a flexible architecture that consists of a core and extendable service packages. A power consumption monitor and control function provides useful context information for activity-based context-aware services and optimizes the power consumption. The system can be installed easily into existing and new houses to solve the current barrier of the popularization of home network services.

The supercavitation weapon is a new concept weapon moving at a high speed underwater, which is devised applying the characteristic of supercavitation reducing the resistance of water, and it may be widely used in the future. The present ventilating system has many shortcomings, such as less automation and numerous data cannot be measured and recorded timely. In this paper, the automatic monitor and control ventilating system of supercavitation water-tunnel was developed using configuration software and PLC. All parameters can be measured, recorded and displayed automatically via using of the system. It has many advantages such as higher automation, convenience, and easy maintenance.
