12:30 am
the, the the, what is part of the is it that the employee would post good. isn't the defense you of us and bidding the word or is it something deeper, more complex might be present? good. let's stop without cases. let's go out of the
12:31 am
the water is the life blood of our planet, constantly flowing from one body to the next. from the moment it flows out our faucet, it journeys its way through the labyrinth of pipes undergoing all sorts of treatment before it is released back out. but water is a precious resource, and too much of it is being wasted already from an adequate treatment facilities. i'm christy i and today we're going to be following the flow of water and where all the waste water goes to be treated with cycles. and we use the same as like a silly question, but where does the water go at the flush, the toilet or drain the sinks in your home? well, usually it flows to waste water treatment facility where it is treated to reduce or remove pollutants. the treated waste water is then released into local waterways where it is used again for any number of purposes such as you're getting crops and
12:32 am
sustaining aquatic life. but recently california became the 2nd state behind colorado to allow waste water from showers and even toilets to be purified into drinking water. many areas in the west already used for you to waste water for outdoor irrigation or to replenish underwater alco 1st, where water is further cleanse as a percolates through the soil. but the idea of sending treat waste water directly to home has lost struggle to overcome the x factor in california. this toilet, to tap idea is still a big factor for many residents, including myself. but apparently now advances in water purification technology have made it so that we cycle waste water can be brought up to drinking standards in a matter of hours and public back into pipes says, apply home schools and businesses with drinking water. a waste water management is more than just pipes and treatment plants. they're an integral part of our societal
12:33 am
structure. years ago, when sewage was dumped into waterways, you had a natural purification process because the sheer volume of clean water in the streams dilute the waste bacteria and other small organisms in the water consume the sewage and other matter. but today, hire population in greater volume of domestic and industrial waste. water requires that communities give nature a helping hand. wastewater treatment basically speeds up the natural processes by which water is purified. there are 2 basic stages and the treatment of water. in the primary treatment phase, sewage flows through a screen which moves large floating objects such as rags and non biodegradable that might clog up pipes and then passes through a grit chamber where sand, small stones, and grits settled to the bottom. the sewage then flows to a set of mentation tank were suspended by a solid. we'll sing to the bottom and will be used for fertilizer. it then goes through a secondary treatment phase. wherever moves about 85 percent of organic matter. the
12:34 am
sewage is palm through a trickling filter, which is simply a bed of stones about 6 feet deep through which sewage passes. bacteria gather, multiply on the stones until they can consume most of the organic matter. the clean or water trickles through the pipes for further treatment where the bacteria is then removed with flooring. however, new pollution problems have now place additional burdens on waste water treatment systems. today we have pollutants such as heavy metals, chemical compounds, and toxic substances that are more difficult to remove from water rising demand on the water supply. and we aggravates the problems as well to remove new pollutants. we require advanced waste treatment techniques such as carbon absorption, distillation, or reverse osmosis that are way more expensive to build and operate. and now we're joined by dr. mullin, shot chief scientist wastewater research at enviro tech. what are the economic consequences of an adequate waste water management on communities and cities,
12:35 am
economy consequences also united quickly circle management on communities. and so he's going to be to be at one central florida. so it says, let's do a test cuz that's interesting, has get caught and reducing what it costs, productivity, at least not equal to $500.00 a walk and so sustained damage equity goes up and basically it's impacting source. it cannot be a lot of people. it's what, what i'm thinking of is look, look at how to put exams and property values. you tell me the inverse way the in the economy goes on the lake, off bravo, based upper management. but the significant finance departments on both of the economies and governments. can you share examples where in sufficient investment and waste water infrastructure led to significant economic losses or public health challenges inefficient? the investment in the basement insights as it has been to numerous examples of significant economic losses and public health. and in this one instance in the up and countries make india in bangladesh. inadequate ways to, to defend has to be the even wide spread. what one digit is imposing substance
12:36 am
silicates get cost and producing $1.00 plus productivity. if it's like flint, michigan, you. busy say red aging insights to the cost list once i'm assuming door to sub lights that have both pets, but i see standing on the phone, i mean $3.02 in cody decreased property values. an increase has good expect is these examples underscore the i think the lead flooded robust investment in the waste water in plastic to see if that of what public has had in the comic of that would be. and how kind of investments in sustainable waste water solutions contribute to both environmental and economic benefits, invest wendy, and sustainable. the rest of the solid sense of what a deal the benefit of. and what that does is that it was suddenly economy plus buddy to implementing technologies like the waste water recycling and be centralized treatment system with the new says button should consult us what the resources and meet the good because it got damage frustrating and why don't we build sustainability now simultaneously these investments clear job opportunities
12:37 am
in the green sector stream unit. you know, we saw an enhanced local interests look to lead to long term economic growth by a private are using sustainable. the waste worker management. committed is get a 2 uh, hold on one use balance between yeah, and what about those 2 axis? economic development, either successful case studies where cities or industries have realized substantial economic returns through investments and waste water management. yeah, definitely. so those 2 piece any the streets, no demonstrate that significant economic, intense. so investment invest, talked to management. what example copenhagen, denmark transform is about a, from a photo trying to work for me into a timing recreation area at 15 duties and boosting property. we lose up investing in edwin's resort has been taking a lot of these seemingly industries such as booties infect style, manufactured us, how to use water coming up soon, and operational costs by limiting efficient ways for 20 seconds as to leading to improve profitability and such. timothy this case studies highlight the as well,
12:38 am
they show a lot of substance. so economically, pence wind, but i would i be using smart investment investment management and what challenges are there to integrate sewage systems into urban planning? yeah. that a lot of stuff. i just think is a big switch this teams into out of been planning for this. so really the delegates, firstly the existing in 1st set up. maybe i will make it on insufficient to echo or growing up into some say not a bit expensive. but equating costs of yeah, but it's all excellent sense. secondly, coordinating between video stakeholder. busy us think, 40 minutes, what else, what are these engineers and, and what about the dentist can be complex and based on doing that is slowly len groceries and conflicting interest making. busy the up to my place made up so we didn't 1st look to mississippi, you know, we do some research and community engagement to work on these studies. finally, and showing sustainable and reciting. so it's a students missed climate change impacts. so the sea levels rise an extreme great,
12:39 am
but events as another layer of complexity to have been trying to get thoughts. and now how do different countries approach waste water management and are there lessons that can be learned from international practice to different countries? us waste management to be that you'll start to just depending on the fact us like populace and then city economic results. and then when we talked about it is some of the sense but i would i be centralized strickland. nonsense stick. thank you. that's. that's why those focus want to be centralized, the stream spot made. so that's what it sounds like. i started with lens in governments, look back. this is sort of valuable lessons in terms of technology adoption policy for them. and they said, and community engagement, for instance, countries like the lens x ending what we're using chart management. so okay, think of, and if it's so, you know, we do equities and call over to some between government industry and academia. so by starting and end up being successful practices from around the world, then please get enhanced database to to management. so if it is an address global work and it gets more effectively. thank you so much dr. mullin,
12:40 am
but please stick around the chief scientist doctor mullin. shaw will be with us after the break and when we come back, what does it cost to build a water treatment facility? well, have more after the break, the in the year of 1950 for the united states of america engaged in warfare against the people of vietnam. the white house supported the corrupt about the governments of southern vietnam. 1965 americans began their invasion following the aim to defeat the forces of vietnamese patriots. defend the gun was confident that the victory would be on the american side, due to its military superiority. however,
12:41 am
the vietnamese during this war into total hell for the occupants. unable to cope with a guerrillas, the american army started blanket bombing alongside using chemical weapons and naples, which burnt all alive. the village of my lay, where he 1969 american soldiers killed 504 civilians, including 210 children, became a tragic symbol of this war. all and all. during the whole period of this conflict, the usa dropped on vietnam more than $6000000.00 tons of bonds, which is 2 and a half times as much as on germany during the 2nd world war. in 1973, the american army under the pressure of the rebels, withdrew from vietnam, and only 2 years later did the puppet regime. and so i got involved. however,
12:42 am
the vietnamese paid a high price for their freedom. more than 1000000 vietnamese people became the victims of american aggressors. the there's no end in sight over how you're going to continue to destroy the or is the case of the med, most of the people. i tried to go to the gym, but i'm certainly not ready to fight russia. this is also absurd. this is the 3rd world lunacy re washing press for so the funder line likes to say we have the tools while we just start with stability and visit this deal. so let me, let me on that. you have very quick propaganda. you know a price here in your i think we don't know the aftermath any time that you're not allowed to ask questions, you should ask all of the questions. the more questions ask a better. the answer is, will be the,
12:43 am
the other you live on up. what's going on on your flow was that when you talk with bach with bach, got them to move the weight of the money for the theater. if as little as the mid views to them please. yes. yes. thank you. especially with really a couple i get those go for need a lot more to the doors of familiar with this one as i said, but yeah, i don't know for sure, but just as easy as i'm making snyder on the pnc and there with which assessment when you put in your article here at the,
12:44 am
the the, the water treatment centers are expensive and often cost about $12000000.00 for each 1000000 gallons per day of average flow . you expect to go through the plant in los angeles. they are currently building
12:45 am
a $500000000.00 advance water purification facility to achieve its vision of fully we using is water supply and supply up to $200000.00 customers in the san fernando valley. but the middle east has emerge as a global leader and water innovation, particularly in the fields of the solid ice ation water and wastewater treatment. and the d carbonized ation of the water sector. the middle east space is unique challenges when it comes to water scarcity, making it imperative for the region to develop groundbreaking solutions to sustain its growing population. the selling ice ation has become the cornerstone of the water supply in many middle eastern countries and has implemented cutting edge technologies to purify and we use waste water reducing the strain on fresh water resources. advance treatment processes include membrane field tracing biological treatment. and this infection techniques that have been used to ensure the safe and efficient you use a water to. but meanwhile, in low income areas in i will waste water management can lead to health risks,
12:46 am
environmental degrading deviation and economic losses. approximately 56 percent of the urban population in africa and 26 percent in central south east asia like access to private, titanic toilets. and under developed and developing countries, less than 8 percent of waste water is on treated. this entry is sewage and adequately treated waste water from industries continued to deplete water quality and developing countries. each person produces on average 6 leaders of toilet waste water each day. that equates to nearly 14000000000 leaders of untreated, physically contaminated waste water created each day. so for reference, that's $5600.00 olympic sized swimming pools. this leads to hi, pathogen concentrations which could easily spread diseases. approximately 1.4 or 5000000 people die annually as a result of diarrhea alone. and at least 50 percent of these cases are caused by
12:47 am
poor sanitation. in south africa, rivers and bodies of water have been to polluted by sewage for use because waste water facilities are failing to properly treat sewage before releasing it back into the environment. chad, congo, somalia, as it in to less than 5 percent of waste water. the software this and more let's bring in again dr. mullen shaw. she's scientist of wastewater research at enviro tech. now doctor mullin in your opinion, which country has demonstrated the most effective and sustainable models for waste water treatment added to fitness in the country as having the most effective and sustainable what? what other photo based on the treatment is challenging new to the night? what is that produced in context? your pick does in was probably about it. and it was like for example, stand out for the, you know, it, you and comprehensive ways to occur. management strategies, sync up what has implemented and once technologies as new watch a reachability fights wastewater to drinking water standards. i didn't think of the
12:48 am
process like the deep dot net switch system populated results f, as in c. and, and one of my thoughts was staying with there be other countries with not the 2 minutes individual treatment. april, then might have the netherlands. and so we did each the north for the community off the thing is technology stream dumping glasses and public engagement strategies. and other specific strategies or technologies that set these countries apart in terms of successful waste water management. yeah. then please know. and so successful in risk management likes and couple then my, then a deadlines and through the envelope on being as an off, you know, as an sort of this and technologies, these things were edgewise treatment process. so this member and body of those. and the was us most useful what the use coupled with, if you're still in the centralized the students to minimize and those because they've sent in transport costs. eddie slowly, a stream don't regularly since and protected government policies incentivize complaints and data continuously implementing visual. take my son, that's what a lot of public
12:49 am
o m s. complaints and community engagement and it's abuse. plus the general for to consider was sent and, and what i want those to watch safe. and i'm seeing the auto system of the, of these countries resort management practices. and what we said, technological advancements had been particularly promising in the fields of purifying wastewater. you know that it's so many the septic much better vitamins nowadays being resorted. but if it gets un helpful, promising results in implement, what for quality and resource availability, memory and technology. so this thought also will cease and then if it was a buyer, i don't know if he's the reason of what if he shows the more of one time in slightly minimizing and as it comes up, some advice ups isn't a processing story. you'll be based on electrochemical tomatoes, effectively the good organic pollutants, and by products model, emerging technologies like micro betsy old sales and electrical glistened, demonstrate what they should, 4 or 5000000 as wastewater treatment. and, and they've done this. and these, you know, a sense be able to be affordable,
12:50 am
sustainable, and cost effective way approaches. 2 ways to, to pick this up addressing, basing and what i mean. busy and public has done sense. so besides that, he said to, i would say technology guidelines, maint nowadays, we thought of going on a risk management system. and now what unique challenges to developing countries space and investing and implementing effective wastewater treatment solutions since last 15 years. i'm observing that the people do not have much and all the adults will be sort of microbiology. so visual to help the much help the knowledge of facebook or making a lot of the how to treat me as to what to ran to treat. and what i, that could, i think of that, i mean those will sort out this problem. so these not as much to me in which most of the and the engineers by coming late in the us my toilet is which i am seeing that they don't have what i know. looking ahead. what chance do you foresee and the costs and investments associated with waste water management globally? yeah, i can see, but do not so much because industrialists, i'm not very keen,
12:51 am
they don't have a keen interest to sort out these problems. they added us to uh, interested in their own money out to on money. they don't have much interest how to sort out these political issue between the, at the, uh, how in the future. and now what are some of the key issues that are holding back your industry from advancement when i update some so different plans. i much help a basic and i don't know they don't that that's what kind of issue it is coming. what are the categories? 6, what are the pollutants? while it in spades, anything that we start to? and how do i pick the best order? by which type of technologies by either physical, chemical, auto, biological. see, i believe that the bottle do close this to is one of the best treatments as to into scientific one where you don't have to invest much. why didn't use it. okay,
12:52 am
let me tell you, you must help so many funds. then we don't funds, you cannot treat the reasons why i don't think of the biological treatment or biological mental road you kind of treat easily without funding much investments. so what sort of, how a good and all adults microbiology deplete the sort different branch i am? seems, seems so many, yes, but the most of the people outside waiting, waiting for investigators, but not f like. and i would say see, when i do any type of kind of research i, we do that. i sort of have some applied research which should be applicable to this website. it seems that interest and research ends field is growing. but are there any obstacles? most of them such as the 90 percent, not 90, a 90 plus, but centrally says that such as that gets publishing people to see. i have to jump most at the ending so many conferences i don't the was so i,
12:53 am
i don't believe in this scenario. anybody knows, but they added the spot, their own progress. that how do i progress myself? so is there a remedy to this issue? yeah, well not the actually i a see i what do you need by meeting this week and i am seeing since last 15 different deals that industrially. so i don't need wrestling or make money out to, on the money the out of not much interested in how to sort out the problems which we have facing and, or, and, and they don't have a visa and they to, if we do not solve this problem, at present, then this will be well, how about for the future of douglas, and they are just insisting that employees and they have doesn't interested athena out on money. how do i have the money board? i don't have any of the uh, i'm looking to study these problems. all reason is in the lien country,
12:54 am
specifically in dire need of waste water management. india lots. how much it means to research within the pre made these updates. we sort of, of my thought are the, i am seeing that the netherland denmark's, we done the out of having good research the for the sector. so india sure to fail. and i am planning to manage the sector, which we just have a good research team. and what is the key point that you'd like to convey that with advanced wastewater research? this is the field when you, we just have some interest and you will sort out the problems that we come in, the future. this one who and if it did go to the if you took the sense being the scientist, i must be that. what a lot of research i do must be applicable to the society. i don't believe in fate don't. i don't believe in public. it's something i back the dep notice if i publish might be putting point 001 if they picked up but it must fail something like
12:55 am
essentially the society be broken, use my data for that and such. so this is what i believe. personally, you are going to be search by taking funds from the government and these funds out of some local public that you should know these thoughts. so if you're doing research, you're sort of have some kind of research we, it's really be applicable to the society. because you are using the money from the society from the people. thank you so much, doctor mullen. sha for all your time today. when plumbing and waste water is flowing and being treated, everything is fine and dandy. but when waste water facilities fail, that's when society as a whole collapses. now that may be a bit of an overstatement, but it does result in catastrophic failure. in july of 2021, the hyperion water reclamation plants and california failed, which resulted in millions of gallons of raw sewage flooding the surroundings and
12:56 am
being dumped directly into the pacific ocean. in the following weeks, citizens and surrounding cities have begun complaining of the lingering stench and health concerns caused by the older and potential exposure to the raw sewage and the water. piney point in florida also experience something similar why the plant done more than 200000000 gallons of sewage and to tampa bay after a leak in 2021. hundreds of millions of gallons of waste water remain at piney point and has still not been cleaned up. so with all the ag facilities across the u . s. waste water infrastructure is a crisis that no one wants to talk about. and i'm christy. i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything. the
12:57 am
more expensive and i'm going to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different. several opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to planes or do they have the state department c i a weapons, bankers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't marshall state main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction. but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way you as they already started the cps, because they kept the scroll. so i'd be search and then use their email. you're just going to offend them to the rules. the nazi theory of racial
12:58 am
superiority, finished style for years of creating an ssl all the place and 14 concentration cams . so the full prisoner of war, labor comes 10 prisons really well, you know, thing to do with me. she's the media get venue. so i'm assuming you need even the, the chest is really to get all the physical. i'm assuming people's going to be approximately 25000 people went through the occupied of go to finish camps according to official figures. these move stuff suddenly level if the ship did utility and i gave you an idea, i'm not sure it's just the size of the stuff. so young congress that i mean, you know what the found in disease forced labor to which you have by the word is formulas. what was the last it also need you to take that to you that, that it's a terrible human off with those who put his name, push these things up to give you what feel like you do it because he doesn't do those thousands of test
12:59 am
a massive crimes and the impunity of criminals. nothing more and you've got here, you know, wanted to do this be a good idea. yeah. for the good. i see you don't really stuff on me that decided to do it, but this is danielle. i was booked at the middle of the let's take a fresh look around. there's a life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion, but how of tired vision with no real opinions fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills. and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the
1:00 am
local speak out to the gains process because of my call as he rises the pacific? i don't think you'd color's done yet. the public outrage of the price of land then, but seeing what we allow music the most of the army here. we didn't awesome the army to come here because we don't know if you arrive to restore. com, but in any case he's already con and gone. and things are still the same. there is no real com, no real peace is in is the day of nationwide funeral ceremony for lindsey present receipt. and i live in terms of.
