Proper Polymer System Selection results in Cleaner Water: The Appropriate Selection of Polymer and a Make-Down System Improves the Water Clarification Process and significantly reduces costs

Mar 22, 2025Mar 22, 2025 eawater

By Del Williams, Technical Writer Based in Torrance, California To help comply with EPA wastewater regulations and reclaim valuable resources, chemical polymers are added to industrial clarifiers, settling ponds, and other wastewater equipment at various stages of treatment. These polymers promote flocculation, a process in which small particles clump together into larger particles called flocs, which settle to the bottom. The clarified water can then be discharged for re-use, disposal, or further treatment. The problem with this highly effective and economical method of removing suspended solids from wastewater is that…

Addressing Water Scarcity Through River Interlinking

Mar 22, 2025Mar 22, 2025 eawater

By Subhash Sethi, Chairman, SPML Infra Limited Water is the lifeblood of social and industrial progress, yet India faces a severe and escalating water crisis. Despite having 18% of the world’s population, the country possesses only 4% of global freshwater resources, leading to a significant water imbalance. This challenge is further intensifying due to rapid urbanization, continuous population growth, rising industrial expansion, and climate change events, which impact rainfall patterns and resulting in water scarcity. India is also the largest consumer of groundwater, extracting approximately 230 billion cubic meters annually.…

Revitalizing Village Sanitation: A Success Story From East Champaran

Mar 10, 2025Mar 10, 2025 eawater

In the heart of East Champaran district’s Sugauli block lies the village panchayat of Dakshini Sugaon, where a significant success story has taken place. The village, particularly wards number 02 and 03, was plagued by a public drain that had become a source of distress for its residents. The accumulation of dirt and waterlogging led to a polluted environment, exacerbating the spread of waterborne diseases and affecting the daily lives of the villagers. For much of the year, especially during the monsoon season, the public drain collected rainwater, which turned…

Innovative Solutions for a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant

The problem Recently, a local water activist brought to public attention a disturbing phenomenon occurring in the Yamuna River in Delhi, India: vast quantities of white foam were polluting the sacred waterway. The source of this foam was traced not to a single plant, but to multiple municipal wastewater treatment plant along the river. While these plants were treating the water, the discharge process itself was contributing to the problem. Treated water, flowing through channels at high rates, intersected with the city drains at points where there were steep falls.…

Turning seawater into Gold: An alternative to Desalination Plants

Mar 10, 2025Mar 10, 2025 eawater

ABSTRACT This article explores an innovative and economical greenhouse technique that utilizes solar radiation and wind to simulate an artificial hydrologic cycle for harvesting pure water and minerals from seawater. The method employs simple and sustainable technology to evaporate seawater, condense the vapor into pure water, and collect precipitated minerals for further processing. Compared to conventional desalination plants, this approach offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for addressing global water and mineral needs. The article outlines the methodology, theoretical foundation, financial analysis, and schematic design of this technique. INTRODUCTION…

Algae outbreaks in reservoirs threaten our Nation’s potable water supply

Mar 4, 2025Mar 4, 2025 eawater

The U.S. has over 84,000 reservoirs, ranging from large-scale ones like Lake Mead to small municipal reservoirs. Their combined storage capacity exceeds 600 million acre-feet of water. These reservoirs serve various purposes, including drinking water supply, recreation, irrigation, flood control, and hydropower. Some are exclusively for drinking water, some are recreational, and many are multi-use. As public utilities, reservoirs are subject to more stringent management standards and must meet requirements for a range of water quality parameters that are not typically a concern for recreational water bodies. Those responsible include…
