Water &Waste Management

What is water management

• Water management is the management of water resources under set policies and regulations. Water, once an abundant natural resource, is becoming a more valuable commodity due to droughts and overuse.

• Water resource management is the activity of planning, developing, distributing and managing the optimum use of water resources. It is a sub-set of water cycle management. Ideally, water resource management planning has regard to all the competing demands for water and seeks to allocate water on an equitable basis to satisfy all uses and demands. As with other resource management, this is rarely possible in practice.

Importance of water management

• Water resource management is a very important issue from several angles such as development of water bodies for future, protection of available water bodies from pollution and over exploitation and to prevent disputes. A paramount issue is water-its availability, quality and management. Extensive hydrological information is necessary to develop water resources and protect them.

What is Waste Management

• Waste management is a set of activities that include the following: collection , transport, treatment and disposal of waste; control, monitoring and regulation of the production,collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste;

• Waste management is a set of activities that include the following:[1]• 1.collection , transport, treatment and disposal of waste;• 2.control, monitoring and regulation of the production, collection, transport, treatment and

disposal of waste; and• 3.prevention of waste production through in-process modification, reuse and recycling.

Importance of waste management

• Waste management is important because improperly stored refuse can cause health, safety and economic problems. All living organisms create waste, but humans create far more waste than other species. To prevent damaging the Earth’s ecosystems and maintain a high quality of life for the planet’s inhabitants, humans must manage and store their waste efficiently and safely.

-The new Movac system consists of two main components: the new, third generation mobile vacuum vehicle, the VL-5, and the patented screw tank concept.-These features provide an efficient and environmentally friendly method of waste collection in urban and suburban areas. In comparison with previous mobile collection systems, the emptying time is generally cut in half and collection capacity is generally doubled.

-underground waste collection systems based on vacuum technology.

• Single-line systems are the conventional type of automated waste collection system. In a single-line system, the pipeline network forms a tree-like layout, where the waste station is located at the root of the tree and the waste inlets are located along the branches.

• Ring-line systems are a novel technology developed by MariMatic. In MetroTaifun 聶 ring-line systems, the main pipeline both starts and ends at the waste station. The ring-line uses vacuum and pressure to convey refuse along the pipeline.

• Ring-line systems use both vacuum and pressure to transport waste. This brings many benefits, such as the automatic removal of blockages. 

• The ring-line system enables effective and safe municipal waste collection and offers a cleaner, quieter and less smelly solution to municipal waste collection, when compared with the conventional single-line systems.

Green Buildings

WHAT ARE GREEN BUILDINGS?

Environmentally responsible

Resource-efficient

GREEN BUILDING COMPLIANCE (GBC) A set of rating system to help building owners to be environmentally responsible and use resources efficiently.

Comply with environmental laws and regulation

Occupancy scenarios

Share data of water and energy usage for a minimum of 5 years after occupancy

SOLAR PANELS

All buildings are required to use solar panels.

Energy can be used to power up devices that require minimal energy usage.

The Sun is a renewable source of energy.

MOTION SENSORS

Multi-story buildings use a lot of escalators

Are always on

Reduce the energy usage

MOTION SENSORS

Multi-story buildings use a lot of escalators

Are always on

Reduce the energy usage

LIGHT PIPES

Light pipe obtains Sunlight and transfers it through a tube.

It lights up the building without the use of any bulbs

AIR COOLING SYSTEMS

Current air-conditioning systems produce harmful gases

In order to cool buildings, these special air cooling systems are used.

They do not emit poisonous gas

They are placed on the ground to use less energy.

GREENERY SYSTEMS

Green roof

Shield building from direct sunlight

Create cooler microclimate

Green wall

Produce oxygen

Reduce heat from building

What is security?• The state of being free from danger or threat.• The state of feeling safe, stable, free from fear or anxiety

What is the importance of security for a city? • Protects the citizens from harm or danger

• It helps to make the citizens feel safe and secure

• A signal for citizens to abide by the law

• Helps to reduce crime rate

Security for the future city

• 24-hour surveillance camera at every street to monitor crime that happens. (Integrated CCTV system which can automatically capture vital security images without the need of security personnel to manually check the camera)

• Traffic system resides on a single Operating System (OS) so that when an emergency happens, paramedics, poilice officers and fire fighters are able to quickly reach the scene of the incident. (Green light for emergency lanes and red lights for the surrounding cars)

• Every citizen has a chip implanted in them where it is easier to locate their whereabouts

• This chip can also be used to access their home or office

• Emergency centres within reach from the city center (at least 3)

• 24-hours guarded with well-trained law enforces and instilled with strict patrolling system.

TRANSPORTATION

Hyperloop• High-speed transportation/rail• Underground/above ground on pylons• Thousand miles per hour

Incorporates tubes with a low level of pressurization that would contain pods with skis made of alloy inconel, which is designed to withstand high pressure and heat.

• Reduced drag and friction• Air exiting those skis through tiny holes will create an air cushion on which the pods would ride, and they’d be propelled by air jet inlets.• Self-powered thanks to solar panels placed along the top of the pod-containing tube’s length.

Advantages

• Takes up minimal space on-land• Doesn’t require uprooting of farms& other infracstructure• Eliminates ambient noise problems• Minimizes derailment risks

• Fast transportation to destinations with lenghty distances• Safer• Sustainable self power

Kingsman: The Secret Service

• Used Hyperloop to travel during urgent events

Energy Management

Solar powered houses and buildings• reduces electricity usage• sustainable and renewable• requires minimal maintenance• low cost

Encourage public transport by providing cleaner, safer buses and reliable public transport systems• reduces carbon emissions

With effective energy management, we can: • save money• reduce the damage we’re doing to our planet, Earth

Disaster Relief

Aerial Surveilliance robots/ Spy drones

• Helps assess remote places to hunt for survivors or mend broken structures where workers will be sent to fix the lines and get the lights back on faster

• As smart as a bird when it comes to maneuvering around obstacles and is able to guide itself through forests, tunnels or damaged buildings

ROBOTS & DRONES

Gemini-Scout robot

• Can move through up to 18 inches of water while sampling the air for toxic fumes.

• It rolls easily over stair-like obstacles and into the sand and gravel pits.

• has an infrared thermal camera which can detect trapped survivors in the rubble by their heat signature as well as looking for cracks

Rescue Robot

• Used for large scale disaster relief such as earthquakes and hurricanes

• Able to enter dangerous situations to aid disaster victims without putting disaster responders at risk

• Aid humans in dangerous tasks like moving big boulders, debris and heavy broken structures

The Portalife Shelter

• It features solar-powered, inflatable and easily portable decision for temporary housing.

• The inflatable shelter activated with a single button is deployed without any external aid. • Air pockets insulation that helps trap heat or to aid in cooling the shelter

A.N.T Disaster Response Vehicle(Aid Necessity Transport)

• Specially designed to help humanitarian organizations to provide food, water, medical supplies and housing units to disaster remote areas
