9:30 pm
of this stuff is defensive to supplement is such a question and the printer and i thought someone did you lose it as if i said the media i love to focus on you to reason can you say was a new city, new country to be sure to be present the day was working monday morning to work the don. stimulus the industry on. is it what's money before us of the left? so should william farmer shots, my goodness, we have good guy started or decisions in my lab. and what was that man was the ones that ridiculous run the risk of them one today and but you look through the process . so that's what it is that you want to set. i mean shows those are pretty sharp journals on page to refresh the screen. those are best do what i mean. there's a push out. the
9:31 pm
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 journey is its way through the labyrinth of pipes undergoing all sorts of treatments 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 today we're going to be following the flow of water and where all the waste water goes to be treated, recycled. 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 the state the aquatic life. but recently california became the 2nd state behind
9:32 pm
colorado to allow waste water from showers and even toilets to be purified into drinking water. many areas in the west already use treated 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 treated waste water directly to homes 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 and water purification technology have made it so that recycled 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. waste water management is more than just pipes and treatment plans. they're an integral part of our societal structure. years ago, when sewage was dumped into waterways, you had
9:33 pm
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 a treatment of water. in the primary treatment phase, sewage flows through screen which moves large floating objects such as rags and non biodegradable ols 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 sedimentation tank were suspended by a solid. we'll sing to the bottom and will be used for fertilizer to it then goes to a secondary treatment phase. wherever moves about 85 percent of organic matter. the sewage is palm through a trickling filter, which is a simply
9:34 pm
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 the. 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 substitutions 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 the carbon absorption, distillation, and 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, the economy, consequences of the united correct list or for management on communities. and so
9:35 pm
he's going to be to be at one central florida. so says let's to has his that's increasing has get caught and reducing what a plus productivity that is not equal to $500.00. a water source has been damaged, it goes up and basically it's impacting sort of security and livelihoods. what a lot of us look look at obviously zone and property values. each of the 3 in which way the in the economy goes on the vehicle brought, bought a vehicle from management, but the significant finance departments on both of the economies and governments. can you share examples where in sufficient investment in wastewater infrastructure led to significant economic losses or public health challenges inefficient investment, individual princess of hesitate to numerous examples of significant economic losses and public health. and in this one instance in the up, in countries making, den bangladesh, inadequate restorative methods, we thought that even widespread what one digit is imposing substance silicates get costs and reducing what. busy productivity if it's like sprint, michigan,
9:36 pm
usa with aging insights, that sort of caused later on timing to some info or something like that. right. a boat that's good. i see. standing on the phone, i mean $3.02, the dirty decreased property values. an increase has good expenses, so this examples underscore the political lead flooded robots investment in the base. what the interests are to see if that what public health has been going on, because that'll 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 sort of sense of what a buick benefit of and what that does is that it was so many economy plus, but it's a implementing technologies like least what are the cycling? it'd be centralized treatment system with the new spot. you should consult us, what resources and we think it's the core logic of damage for studying and what of my thoughts as to maybe the most i meant initially these investments could be a job opportunities in the green sector stream unit. you know, we saw an enhanced local interests look to lead to long term economic growth by it,
9:37 pm
but i would i these things to send them other ways to, to management commented is get a 2 uh hold on. one use balance between the and what about those 2 axes and take one on the don't mention either successful case studies where cities or industries have realized substantial economic returns through investments and waste water management. yeah, definitely. so those are fees and in the streets, no demonstrate that significantly competence to investment in of historical management. what example copenhagen denmark, dr. stuart is out about a suburb of trying to work for me into a timing recreation of the area. at 13 duties and boosting property, we lose up investing in edwin's resources when taking all of these seemingly industries such as priorities. in fact, style manufactured us how to use what with and upside and operational costs, by blooming efficient ways for 20 seconds as to leading to improve profitability and facilitate this case. studies highlight the as well they show
9:38 pm
a lot of substance so equal, obviously, 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 to streams into, out of been planning for this. so really the delegates, firstly the existing in 1st set up. maybe i will make it up insufficient to echo or to growing up into something i would explain since, but equating cause to be a but it's an excellent sense. secondly, coordinating between radius 3 quarter. busy us in 20 minutes. what else? what are these engineers and, and what am i to the dentist can be complex and painful doing that is my lead lead constraints and conflicting interest making. busy the up to my place made up so we didn't 1st look to mississippi. i think, you know, we do some research and community engagement to let them be selling this finally and showing sustainable and reciting. so it's a stevens emmys to climate change impacts. so the sea level rise an extreme where the events as another layer of complexity to have been planning thoughts. and now
9:39 pm
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 and if 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 to collect your list. that's why they're those focus wouldn't be centralized to stream spot me thoughts or this one's like i started with lens international practices, sofa valuable lessons in terms of technology adoption policy for them. and they said, and community engagement flooding sense countries like the lens x, ending what we're using for our management. so okay, think of, and if it's so, you know, we do equities and call over to somebody to be in government industry and academia . so by study ended up being successful practices from around the world interested in how does database to to manage most of it is an address global work and it gets more effectively. thank you so much dr. mullin, but please stick around the chief scientist, doctor mullin. shaw will be with us after the break and when we come back,
9:40 pm
what does it cost to build a water treatment facility? we'll have more after the break. the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really was a better wills, and is it just as a chosen for you, fractured images, present it is, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can scott bennett, i'm a former united states army psychological warfare officer,
9:41 pm
really served in the state department counterterrorism office under investor del daily the . so i wanted to come here to russia in the dawn bass area and to gather the facts, to take back to the american people, the hold on bass of the front line. so this is where the bombs and the bullets are raging. this is where people are dying, this is where the buildings are exploding, the goal, i wanted to see 1st hand the scars of war,
9:42 pm
the acceptance. and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. you do not watch my new show. search like why watch something that's so different whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do have the state department c i a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead, change and whatever you do. don't want my show stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching. but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way you the thing that was informative with them for the gifts for the state of
9:43 pm
celia was this because they did just wouldn't care to get a car through the new year. oh for g, i teach so i know for me teaching the scholars that should go and you have to do this. i'm going to last i look forward to with that the for she's my, it's the ocean by cheese a little bit. let's move i'm oh no, i'm really starting from 1st month to mostly mounted water to boom. let me look into that. i will just, i get i as well as to the lowest, the dates i'm going to, i'll study to the, the cussing and you see the shortest finish. this is just all just for good news. i'm a section of 20th. i'm going to do friday is the material ordering the power of people for the for sure. interested in the 10 most of the
9:44 pm
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 a $500000000.00 advance water purification facility to achieve its vision of fully when 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 field of diesel. and i've ation water and wastewater treatment . and the di carbonized ation of the water sector in the middle east spaces. 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. advanced treatment processes
9:45 pm
include membrane field trace and biological treatment. and this infection techniques that had been used to ensure the safe and efficient and you use a water. but meanwhile, in low income areas, inadequate waste water management can lead to health risks, environmental degrading deviation and economic losses. approximately 56 percent of the urban population in africa and 26 percent and 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. in developing countries, each person produces on average 6 leaders a toilet waste water each day. that equates to nearly 14000000000 leaders of uncreative peakley, contaminated waste water created each day. so for reference, that's $5600.00 olympic sized swimming pools. this leads to high pathogen
9:46 pm
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 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. mall and shot chief 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 identifies a single country as having the most effective and sustainable work. one of the photo based on treatment is challenging. you'll do that i. what is that policies and context your pick does in was probably about a concludes legs and
9:47 pm
a couple of stand out for the, you know, it's you and comprehensive historical management strategies. sync up with has implemented advice technologies as new watch a reachability phase based on what type of drinking water standards i didn't think of the approaches like the deep dot net switch system to optimize. we thought the efficiency and what that does the stand with your feet are the countries with not the 2 minutes in resorted meant import denmark, the netherlands, and so we did. it's the north florida, minnesota, off the thing is technology straightened up and 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 known for successful risk management likes and up or then my then a deadlines entry, the envelope on being as an off, you know, as an instructor, this and technologies, these things were edwin's treatment process. so this member embodied those, and he was supposed to support what the use coupled with if he's still in the
9:48 pm
centralized of systems to minimize energy cost of sending transport costs, at least slowly. a stream don't regulate sense and protective. automated policies, incentivize complaints and data continuously implementing visual treatments on that's what a lot of public o m s. complaints and community and government and introduce foster quoted of what comes out of his son and, and what it does to watch safe. and i'm seeing the auto system of the, of the spent please resort management practices. and what recent technological advancements have been particularly promising in the fields of purifying wastewater . yeah, there are so many the septic and what's a bit of vitamins nowadays being restored or but i think that's a helpful promising results. any improvement, what for quality and resource availability management technologies? so this slide what else will sees and none of the reason why i don't know if is the reason of what if we shouldn't be 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,
9:49 pm
and by products. what are what emerging technologies like micro betsy old sales and electrical glistened demonstrate what kind of ship post i'm looking at as we sort of treatment and, and this and this, you know, a sense be able to be a photo more sustainable and cost effective way approaches 2 ways to, to be able to pick this up addressing, basing and what i'm going to and public has done sense. so the side 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 waste water treatment solutions. since last 15 years, i'm observing that the people who don't have much and all the adults will be sort of microbiology. so the sort of healthy it must help, doesn't all i don't face or making a lot of you how to treat me as to what to when to treat and what i that could it because that i me those to sort out this problem. so these not as much to me of which most of the,
9:50 pm
and one of the engineers by the lady 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 industry, at least not very keen, they don't have a keen interest to sort of these problems this to uh, interested in their own money. how 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 operate some be so different plans. i much help a basic and i don't know, they don't that like that's what kind of what you see. what does that mean? what are the categories sticks? what are the pollutants pollutants visiting the wastewater? and how do i pick the best order?
9:51 pm
by which type of technologies my either physical, chemical or biological c, i believe that the body of the closest to is one of the best treatments as to into scientific one. we have, you don't have a list much. why didn't these? okay, let me tell you, you must help so many funds and we don't funds you cannot treat the reason why i don't think biological treatment or biological mental analogy you can create easily without funding much universe makes. so what sort of, how a good and all adults microbiology deplete that is so different plans i am seeing seen so many yes, that the most of the people it's i believe very fantastically says, but not f like and i would say see when i do any type of kind of research. i believe 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
9:52 pm
there any obstacles? most of them such as the 90 percent, not 9 people, a 90 plus, but centrally. so that's it. so it does that. that's what missing people to see. i have to jump most at the ending so many conferences. i don't the was so i, i don't believe in this scenario. anybody knows, but the other does spot their own progress. that how do i progress myself? so is there a remedy to this issue? yeah, well, no. actually i see i what do you need by meeting this week and i am seeing since last 15 different ideas that in this way at least i don't need wrestling or make money out to on the money the i have not much interested in how to sort out the problem which we have facing and the end and data on television data. if we do not sort of this problem at present, then this will be how well for the future of douglas and the other, just the easiest thing that employees and they have doesn't interest sort of being
9:53 pm
out on money. how do i have the money board? i don't have any, i mean, so i'm looking to study these problems. all reason is in the lean country, specifically in dire need of waste water management, india look how much of a means to research within the pre made to solve this. we sort of, of my thought are the i am seeing that. busy the land and markets with then the out of having good research the for the set, the 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 least have some interest, and you will sort out the problems that we come in, the future. this one who and if it's a toyota, that if the sense being the scientist, i must be that what
9:54 pm
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 the public. it's on same high impact adjustments if i publish might be putting point 001 if the effect of what it must fail. so i'm gonna click essentially doubles id be broken, use my data for that research. 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 build these thoughts. so if you're doing research, you should have helped some kind of research weeds to really be applicable to society. because you are using money, so i'm the society from the people. thank you so much, dr. mullen. shaw for all your time today. when plumbing and waste water is flowing and being treated, everything is fine and dandy. but one waste water facilities fail. that's when
9:55 pm
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 plant in california failed, which resulted in millions of gallons of raw sewage flooding the surroundings and 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 was plant dump more than 200000000 gallons of sewage into tampa bay after leak and 2021. hundreds of millions of gallons of waste water remain at piney point and has still not been cleaned up. and so with all the aging facilities across the us, wastewater infrastructure is a crisis that no one wants to talk about. i'm christy. i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything.
9:56 pm
the what is part of the, the employee would posted 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 or the . now you need your visa, typically you sent to me,
9:57 pm
i think, you know what comes in the book. the message should see where it gets to the. the only issue is use the sounds good to the way the ways that the boys the, the most new. and that'll be for them imagery at this uh, florida doesn't want that extra them for the that the
9:58 pm
russian states never as, as tight as i'm sort of the most sense community best. nothing was all sense and the same assistance must be the one else holes. question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on the russians to day and split the smooth net keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube, the tenant services question. did you say even twist, which is the on the one you ended up to attempt to collect as extra a month?
9:59 pm
i thought she sat there for the show and then it will be a job to bluffton because of a dish. international stuff is the context separately. the setup button, and that's a picture, and i thought someone did you lose it, ask you like that. if i said the media and let it be focused on the 2 reasons, could you say with the city, the new country, companionship, us, and they're going to be presented as for them. i didn't want to work it on stimulus and just get a little less money from self reluctance to should william farmer shots, monuments who we have good guy started to decisions in my lab. and what was that man was, and what was that ridiculous problem? is that the best one today? and but you know, so that's what it is that you want to set. i'm showing total suspicion jim was on page duty for she's clear moves. i'm best do what i mean. there's
10:00 pm
a corporate chef the, the entire body of rick sanchez. this is the show you've been wanting to see. this is direct impact and this is what you're going to be talking about. the presence of 425 on the you are a war longer shame on you that secretary state anthony blinking. i'm sure you could tell he goes before the senate foreign relations committee and then he is a sales and it's repeated and repeated and you're going to see it. i'm rick sanchez . let's do it. the alright, let's talk a little bit here about anthony.
