Preventive strategies for reuse and recycling of wastewater within the HDG production

The hot-dip galvanizing consumes raw materials, supplies, and influence in the quantity/quality of wastewater, opening advantage for its segregation, reuse, and recycling. Therefore, the aim was to establish strategies for segregation, recycling, and preventives process of wastewater from a hot dip galvanizing enterprise (>10,000 t/year of galvanizing steel or gs). A mass balance (inputs-outputs by 1 t gs), Sindex considering organic and inorganic parameters for segregation/recycling, and Water Pinch (Zn, COD, TDS) for reuse opportunities were determined. Flows diagrams were based on three scenarios that combine segregation/reuse/recycling, comparing saving water, energy, costs, and carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) emissions. Results (mass balance) demonstrated that the water consumption in the rising phases (2,355.2 L/t gs) corresponding to 95% of the total water demand. The best scenario combined reuse/segregation/recycling, which decreased up to 36% of treated wastewater, up to 40% of chemicals consumption, about 41% of treatment cost, close to 38% of energy consumed, up to 17% of CO2-eq emissions by wastewater treatment. Therefore, taking preventive measures without the need of technological changes (treatment) can achieve on efficient water management within of the hot dip galvanizing production in developing countries.

Re-design the use of PV to distribute water from tanks to rural area for Mentawai especially in Central Siberut sub-district

The redesign of the water pump stuck in the district of Central Siberut is reused by using the Solar Panel as an alternative energy source. The materials and tools used are Booster pump, pipe, air valve, wash out, blow off and gate valve. The booster pump is used to pump high pressure water from the tank so that it can reach Saibi village, where Saibi village is the farthest village compared to Simulaklak village, where the distance from the tank to Simulaklak village is only 1.5 km and the tank to Saibi village is 4.5 km the elevation difference between the tank and the village of Saibi is 25 meters above sea level. The total water demand in Simulaklak and Saibi villages is 17.63 liters / second with flow rates in Simulaklak and Saibi villages of 2.25 m / sec and 1.69 m / sec, for the pump head obtained from the tank to Simulaklak village is 72,1 m and the pump head from the tank to Saibi Village is 120.31 m. The standard atmospheric pressure obtained for Simulaklak village is 10,284 mH2O and for Saibi village is 10.301 mH2O. Booster pump is an alternative that can be used for distributing water from the tank to the village.

STUDI KELAYAKAN WADUK CIKAWARI 2A DAN 5A DALAM RANGKA PEMENUHAN KEBUTUHAN AIR KOTA BANDUNG

The water need in the Northern area of Bandung City was predicted to be 2.49 m3/s in 2040. The government responded to this issue by planning the construction of several reservoirs in the Cikapundung watershed. A previous study suggested three potential locations, i.e., Cikukang 2, Cikawari 2A, and Cikawari 5A reservoir. Since Cikawari 2A and Cikawari 5A are located on the same Cikawari river, three construction alternatives, i.e., a single reservoir of Cikawari 2A, a single reservoir of Cikawari 5A, and cascade reservoir Cikawari 2A+5A are proposed. Each alternative has its own advantages and limitations, thus evaluation of the best construction alternative needs to be carried out. The evaluation was conducted based on their reliable service in supplying water to Bandung City. This evaluation was analyzed by comparing the projected water demand following population growth and water availability derived from the rainfall-runoff model, NRECA. The analysis was conducted using two variations of dam height and reservoir capacity for each alternative. Based on the analysis results, the single reservoir of Cikawari 2A with 45 m of dam’s height was chosen as the most suitable alternative. It can supply 0.56 m3/s of water and provide water for 30.4% of the citizens in 2020, and decrease to 30.15% in 2040. However, it was also found that the reservoir could only supply 0.44 m3/s of water during the dry period. These results showed that the construction of the reservoir itself could not meet the total water demand. Therefore, another alternative is required to closing the gap in water demand.Keywords: Cikapundung watershed, water supply, Cikawari reservoir, reservoir simulation, service reliability

Study of the Sustainable Water Resources Management at the Upper Euphrates Basin, Iraq

This study aims at developing the aspect of sustainable management of water resources in the part of the upper Euphrates basin to extend the year 2035 by using the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model. Water budget was developed to assess the current water conditions for the reference year 2015 based on available water supply and the increasing demand for water uses. Some of the proposed scenarios have been applied to the WEAP model. The results showed that the total water demand in 2015 was 100 MCM, and it will rise to 400 MCM in 2035. With the emergence of a water deficit, it is expected that 38 MCM, will be fully provided by applying modern irrigation methods. However, when applying the wastewater reuse scenario, it was found that the water deficit reaches 35 MCM. On the other hand, the water deficit has been approximately decreased to 16 MCM when the groundwater scenario was used as an additional source of water supply. The results confirmed the necessity of adopting alternative methods to reduce the water deficit, as well as the ability of the WEAP model to represent the study area.

Abstrak Sumberdaya air penting untuk pemenuhan kebutuhan semua makhluk hidup termasuk manusia. DAS Bodri menyediakan suplai air permukaan melalui sungai-sungai yang ada dalam DAS, yang dapat dimanfaatkan oleh penduduk sekitar. Seiring berjalannya waktu, DAS Bodri mengalami perubahan penggunaan lahan yang menyebabkan terjadinya peningkatan kebutuhan air dan terjadi ketidakseimbangan antara kebutuhan dan ketersediaan air permukaan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini, yaitu mengetahui keseimbangan antara kebutuhan air di masa yang akan datang dengan ketersediaan air permukaan di DAS Bodri tahun 2040. Perhitungan keseimbangan antara kebutuhan dan ketersediaan air permukaan dilakukan dengan membandingkan antara kebutuhan air total dan ketersediaan air permukaan. Parameter kebutuhan air total terdiri dari kebutuhan air domestik, fasilitas kesehatan, fasilitas pendidikan, fasilitas peribadatan, perkantoran, industri, pertokoan dan pasar, warung makan, peternakan, irigasi, dan tambak. Kebutuhan air di tahun mendatang diketahui melalui proyeksi secara eksponensial dan tetap dari data jumlah dalam perhitungan parameter. Kebutuhan air untuk aktivitas domestik dan nondomestik diestimasikan mencapai 2,44 miliar m3 pada tahun 2040. Hasil analisis neraca air menunjukkan bahwa status neraca air DAS Bodri tahun 2010-2019 mengalami defisiensi. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa potensi sumberdaya air permukaan masih belum mencukupi untuk pemenuhan kebutuhan air di DAS Bodri hingga tahun 2040. Abstract Water resources play an important role in meeting the needs of all living things, including humans. The Bodri watershed provides surface water supply through rivers on the watershed, which the local residents can use and utilize. Over time, the Bodri watershed underwent landuse change, which led to an increase in water demand, resulting in an imbalance between water demand and surface water availability. Calculation of the balance between demand and surface water availability is done by comparing the total water demand and the surface water availability. This study aims to determine the balance between future water demand and surface water availability in the Bodri watershed in 2040. The parameters used to determine total water demand consist of water needs of the following sectors; domestic, health facilities, educational facilities, religious facilities, offices, industry, shops and markets, food stalls, livestock, irrigation, and ponds. In the coming year, water demand is known through projections exponentially and permanently from the amount of data in the calculation of parameters. Water demand for domestic and non-domestic activities is estimated to reach 2.44 billion m3 in 2040. The water balance analysis results show that the status of the Bodri watershed water balance in 2010-2019 is deficient. The potential for surface water resources is still insufficient to meet the water needs in the Bodri watershed until 2040.

Potential Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic through Changes in Outbound Tourism on Water Demand: The Case of Liège (Belgium)

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to many countries closing their borders, and numerous people spending their holidays at home instead of traveling abroad. This sudden reduction in travel activities, and other ‘new normals’, might have influenced people’s water usage. Hence, using Liège as a case study, this study aims to address the potential effect of outbound tourism on water consumption and how the current situation might affect the total water demand. Statistical models were developed and validated using the total daily volume of 23 municipalities in the Liège conurbation, the monthly total number of outbound trips, and other meteorological data. Results suggest significantly lower water demand in the months with high numbers of outbound travel activities. Though the projected risk of increased water needs due to fewer people traveling is moderate, the threat becomes much higher during long periods of dry and hot weather.

INDEKS PEMAKAIAN AIRTANAH DI KOTA YOGYAKARTA

The rapid development of the city causes an increase in the amount of water that needed to support various activities. The Utilization of groundwater in large quantities causes negative impacts such as the decrease in groundwater level so that people are difficult to access groundwater. The aim of this study is to analyze the index of groundwater use which describe the condition of groundwater use in the city of Yogyakarta. The groundwater use index is calculated by dividing the total water demand and the availability of groundwater in the City of Yogyakarta. The result shows that in general groundwater use in the city of Yogyakarta is categorized in the safe enough classification (III). However, in the shallow groundwater use index there is one area with less safe classification (II) namely Kotagede District, and one area with unsafe classification (I) namely Umbulharjo District. The main factor which influence to the high index of shallow groundwater use is large population that causes high water domestic needs. This is reflected in the percentage of water domestic needs reaching 90.43%.Keywords: Groundwater, Index of Groundwater Use, Yogyakarta City Perkembangan kota yang pesat menyebabkan semakin banyak jumlah air yang dibutuhkan untuk menunjang berbagai kegiatan di dalamnya.

Water Saving Potential in the RBD of Thessaly

The prolonged issues regarding the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the water resources in the River Basin District of Thessaly (TRBD) have resulted in the environmental degradation and the reduction of the availability of water. Agriculture is the major water user, constituting up to 95% of total water demand. The pressures anticipated from the ongoing climate change are expected to cause further degradation, given the present status of the water resources. This research attempts to examine and quantify the water saving potential of TRBD, mainly for the agriculture sector, following the recommendations of the European legislation, the principles of sustainable development and environmental protection. Water saving tools are documented in several countries, including technical measures, such as drip irrigation systems and the modernization of the transfer networks, as well as deficit and scheduled irrigation practices and water reuse. These measures and practices are tested for their potential effect on water demand in TRBD, in addition to changing a portion of cotton cultivation areas to olive groves. To this end, the volume of irrigation demand is estimated at 2088×106, while total water demand stands for 2204×106. Afterwards the study proceeds to the evaluation of the water saving potential both independently and combined. The potential of water savings in TRBD is proven high, 14.3% of total water demand for technical measures, 10.7% if deficit irrigation is applied to specific crops, while it may reach 28.8% in case the measures are combined.

Estimating Sectoral Water Demand for Sindh Province of Pakistan

Water resources in Sindh province of Pakistan are under significant pressure due to increasing and conflicting water demand from municipalities for domestic users, agriculture and industries, and requirements of environmental flows. Population growth and climate change are likely to pose serious challenges to households and economic sectors that depend on water. This study estimates the present water demand from municipalities, agriculture and industries, and its future projections by the year 2050 in Sindh. The study also evaluates the impact of climate change on sectoral water demand and assesses the water requirements for the environmental flows. The results show that presently the total water demand for these sectors in Sindh is 44.06 Million Acre Feet (MAF). Agriculture is the largest consumer of water, accounting for 95.24 percent of the total water demand. Municipal water demand accounts for 2.61 percent while industrial water demand accounts for 1.88 percent. The demand for water in these sectors is expected to rise by 10 percent from 2018 to 2050. Moreover, depending on climate change scenario, the total water demand in these three sectors is likely to rise by 16 to 25 percent from 2018 to 2050. In additions, water requirements for the environmental flows have been indicated as 10 MAF in the National Water Accord of 1991. The findings of this study call for policy measures and strategies for management of water resources in Sindh.
