Conserving Water Resources Through Integrated Water Management
Today we face the challenges ofproviding goodfood, good air, and good water for a humanpopulation that is doubling every 40-50 years. The challenges are real and were evident enough during 1988 for Time magazine to dedicate its first 1989 issue to „Planet of the Year….Endangered Earth”.
Great technological progress has been made over the past few years, enabling many industries and municipalities to significantly reduce airpollution and water pollution in locally defined areas. But thepictureglobally is not thatpromising Much of the available technology is costly, only affordable by the few.
This paper describes the pollutioncontrol efforts of an 1800megawatt coal-fredpowerplant in thesouthwestern United States. Over $100 million was spent to totally eliminate water dischargefrom the plant. More importantly for many readers, however, were the lessons learned in people management, water resource management, and conservation training. These resulted in significant reductions in water use and processing costs, all for a very little cost. A step-by-step procedure is given on one way to reduce water usage and reduce water pollution.
