In this context, the presented scheme to reduce drinking water wastage from public taps under the free basic water policy of South Africa can be conceived as part of a municipal water savings strategy to reduce the water requirement of South African municipalities and avoid the cost of expensive...
"We live in a region far from our water supply, we live on top of a watershed, and we spend great expense piping water here (from the Katse Dam via the LHWP). We have to deal with the consumption and wastage issue." What must also be addressed is the unacceptably high levels of n...
The different water use sectors have contributed to increased water scarcity by increased water wastage through inefficiencies as well as pollution. Climate change has also attributed to water shortages and droughts in some areas and floods in others around the globe. This chapter contains various ...
One of the UK's largest water treatment has begun a major research project into reducing water wastage and improving water use efficiency as potable water becomes scarcer in many parts of the world including the UK. The situation, which is expected to deteriorate as the number of households in...
The existing literature points out the various ways of water wastage and pitfalls in water distribution. This badly affects the access to clean drinking water provisions. Future research can be for various methods for improving access to clean water by controlling wastage of water and improving wate...
Comparatively, the estimates of food wastage in Japan, a high-income country was higher as compared to Brazil and South Africa (both upper-middle-income country), with the majority of the wastage (80%) occurring at the downstream of the supply chain (commercial and household stages). However...
River water resources consist of two unequal parts with different origins: the subterranean and surface parts. The former is stable; thus, as a rule, it does not require regulation. In addition, it characterizes in general the renewable supply of subterranean waters of the zone of active water...
One invention arising from Illinois, USA addresses the water wastage issue that is common in RO systems, where for every volume of potable water produced, four volumes of used water is dumped in the sewage. See http://www.everpure.com/newspress/Pages/MRS-ENVI-RO-600.aspx ...
Factors such as high water use per unit of GDP and poor maintenance contribute to wastage and unequal distribution of water resources (Watto et al., 2021). Unequal access to water resources constitutes a considerable challenge in Pakistan, particularly in rural and urban areas. Improved WRM ...
Up to the widespread use of plastic in bottling, the reuse of glass bottles was responsible for a great deal of freshwater wastage. That was required because of washing and sanitation, rinsing to remove trace elements of chemical agents before the bottles being refilled. Many chemical agents used...
