ST/ESA/STAT/SER.F/100 United Nations publication Sales No. E.11.XVII.12 ISBN: 978-92-1-161554-8 Copyright © United Nations, 2012 All rights reserved iii Preface TheSystem of Environmental-Economic Accounting for Water (SEEA-Water) has been prepared by the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) in collaboration with the London Group on Environmental Accounting, in particular its Subgroup on Water Accounting. The preparation of the Handbook of National Accounting: Integrated Environmental and Economic Accounting 2003, commonly referred to as SEEA-2003, provided a challenging opportunity to develop methodologies for water accounts. Although country experiences in water accounts were limited at the time that SEEA-2003 had been prepared, commonalities in the various approaches to compiling water accounts emerged. Chapter 8 of SEEA-2003 constituted the first attempt to develop harmonized methodologies for water accounts. In view of the prominence and recognition of water in national and international devel- opment agendas, the increasing demands from countries for harmonization and guidance on water accounting led UNSD to take on the task of advancing the methodology based on a consensus of best practices. The present work builds on the results already achieved during the preparation of SEEA-2003. The Eurostat Task Force on Water Satellite Accounting has been a major contributor in the development of harmonized concepts, definitions, classifications and sets of standard tables. The Subgroup on Water Accounting of the previously mentioned London Group, which had been established at the 8th meeting of the London Group, held in Rome in November 2003, contributed text and country examples, reviewed the various versions of the draft manuscript and assisted in its finalization. The Subgroup comprised approximately 20 experts from various countries, academia and international organizations. Draft chapters were discussed at several meetings, including the 8th and 9th meetings of the London Group, held in Rome in 2003 and in Copenhagen in 2004, respectively. The final draft was discussed and reviewed during a meeting of the Subgroup in New York from 11 to 13 May 2005. During that meeting, the Subgroup agreed to include in the manuscript a set of standard tables for the compilation of water accounts which countries would be encouraged to compile. The final draft of SEEA-Water was presented at the preliminary meet- ing of the United Nations Committee of Experts on Environmental-Economic Accounting (UNCEEA), held in New York from 29 to 31 August 2005. The revised draft was presented at the User-producer Conference: Water Account- ing for Integrated Water Resources Management held in Voorburg, the Netherlands, from 22 to 24 May 2006, which had been organized by UNSD under the auspices of UNCEEA. The Conference, which gathered together major users and producers of water information, endorsed SEEA-Water, recognizing that it provides a much-needed conceptual framework for organizing hydrological and economic information in support of integrated water resources management. The Conference recommended the adoption of SEEA-Water as the interna- tional standard for water statistics. In the light of the recommendations of the Conference, the discussion during the first meeting of UNCEEA on 22 and 23 June 2006 in New York and a subsequent e-consultation among UNCEEA members, the final text of SEEA-Water was revised to conform to the con- tent and style of an international statistical standard; a fictitious dataset was also developed to populate the standard tables. iv System of Environmental-Economic Accounting for Water As a result of the e-consultation among UNCEEA members, SEEA-Water has been divided into two parts. Part one includes internationally agreed concepts, definitions, clas- sifications, standard tables and accounts covering the framework, physical and hybrid supply and use tables and asset accounts (chaps. II-VI). Part two consists of those accounts that are considered to be of high policy relevance but still experimental because an internationally accepted best practice did not emerge (chaps. VII-IX). It also covers the quality accounts, the economic valuation of water beyond the 2008 System of National Accounts (SNA) and examples of SEEA-Water applications. UNCEEA recommended that SEEA-Water be submitted to the United Nations Sta- tistical Commission (UNSC) for adoption. The UNSC, at its thirty-eighth session from 27 February to 2 March 2007, adopted part one of SEEA-Water as an interim international statistical standard—subject to re-evaluation upon adoption of the revised SEEA 2003, expected in 2012. The UNSC also encouraged implementation of SEEA-Water in national statistical systems. Since the adoption of SEEA-Water in 2007, a new edition of the SNA has been adopted (2008 edition). Attempts have been made to make SEEA-Water consistent with the 2008 SNA. v Acknowledgements The present version of SEEA-Water was prepared under the responsibility of the United Nations Statistical Division (UNSD). Coordination was carried out by Ilaria DiMatteo, moderator of the Subgroup on Water Accounting of the London Group on Environmental Accounting, with supervision provided by Alessandra Alfieri (UNSD) and under the overall responsibility of Ivo Havinga (UNSD). Draft chapters were prepared by Ms. Alfieri, Ms. DiMatteo (UNSD), Bram Edens (formerly with UNSD) and Glenn-Marie Lange (World Bank, formerly with Columbia University, United States of America). Philippe Crouzet (Euro- pean Environment Agency), Anton Steurer (Eurostat), Gérard Gié and Christine Spanneut (consultants to Eurostat) and Jean-Michel Chéné (formerly with the United Nations Division for Sustainable Development (UNDSD)) contributed to an earlier draft. The development of the framework greatly benefited from discussions with Jean-Louis Weber (formerly with the French Institute for the Environment and currently with the European Environment Agency) and Gulab Singh (UNSD). An electronic discussion group on terms and definitions used in water accounting was established and moderated by UNSD in cooperation with UNDSD. In this regard, the contributions of Aslam Chaudhry and Mr. Chéné were invaluable and are acknowledged with gratitude. The many contributions, comments and reviews by the members of the Subgroup on Water Accounting of the London Group on Environmental Accounting and by the par- ticipants in the meeting of the Subgroup in New York in May 2005 are also acknowledged with gratitude. They include the following experts: Michael Vardon (formerly with UNSD); Martin Lemire and François Soulard (Canada); Wang Yixuan (China); Thomas Olsen (Den- mark); Mr. Crouzet and Mr. Weber; Christian Ravets (Eurostat); Jean Margat (France); Christine Flachmann (Germany); Mr. Gié; Osama Al-Zoubi (Jordan); Marianne Eriksson (Sweden); Riaan Grobler and Aneme Malan (South Africa); Leila Oulkacha (Morocco); Sjo- erd

  • Drinking Water Treatment Systems
    Drinking Water Facts….. Drinking Water Treatment Systems By: Barbara Daniels and Nancy Mesner Revised December 2010 If your home water comes from a public water supply, it has been tested and meets EPA standards for drinking water. If you use a private well, however, you are responsible for assuring that the water is safe to drink. This means that you should periodically have your water tested, make sure your well is in proper condition without faulty well caps or seals, and identify and remove potential sources of con- tamination to your well such as leaking septic systems or surface contamination. With a private well, you are also responsible for any treatment your water may need if it contains harm- ful pollutants or contaminants that affect the taste, odor, corrosiveness or hardness of the water. This fact sheet discusses different types of water treatment systems available to homeowners. Addressing the source of the problem is often less costly in the long run than installing and maintaining a water system. For more information on identifying pollutant sources, problems with your well, or help in testing your well water, see the references at the end of this fact sheet. There are many types of water treatment systems available. No one type of treatment can address every water quality problem, so make sure you purchase the type of equipment that can effectively treat your particular water quality issue. The table below can help direct you to the right solution for your prob- lem. Drinking Water Facts….. What type of water treatment is needed? The table below lists common water contamination problems.

Background Due to Poor quality of water and presence of chemical/ bacteriological contamination, many water borne diseases are spread, which causes untold misery, and in several cases even death, thereby adversely affecting the socio-economic progress of the country . From an estimate by WaterAid, it has come out that these diseases negatively effect health and education in children, and further what is worse, 180 million man days approximately are lost in the working population to India every year. Water-related diseases put an economic burden on both the household and the nation’s economy. At household levels, the economic loss includes cost of medical treatment and wage loss during sickness. Loss of working days affects national productivity.

Hatred, revenge, cruelty, indifference, Pharisaism, exploitation have characterized the conduct of society to- wards those, who, for one reason or another, have been branded as crim- inals. Badness has often been tolerated and even condoned, so long as it did not end in conviction by a court, but the convict and the ex- convict have always suffered from the neglect and inhumanity of man.

Improving the quality of local public water and waste services is one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation). This study aims to know the degree of satisfaction of domestic users who receive services related to water and waste in municipalities with less than 20,000 inhabitants in the province of Badajoz (Spain). We carry out this research because the perception of municipal services provided by the public administration is usually negative and deficient. The case study PROMEDIO, the consortium formula, is described as a successful partnership to improve the quality of local public water and waste services. For this purpose, a detailed analysis of the different aspects involved in the relationship between the users and the services provided is carried out. The consortium was found to increase citizens’ satisfaction with the services provided, given the close relationship between the Citation: Sanchez-Hernandez, M.I.; municipality and the users.

  • City of Topeka Utilities Department a Tour of Topeka’S Water Treatment Facility
    City of Topeka Utilities Department A Tour of Topeka’s Water Treatment Facility The Topeka Water Treatment Facility uses various chemical and mechanical processes to transform raw water from the Kansas River into clean and safe drinking water. The first of these treatment processes is the elevation of raw river water into the treatment basins using water intake structures. The Topeka Water Treatment Facility has two (2) intake structures that contain six pumps each. All water intake pumps have rated daily capacities of five to ten million gallons each. A durable and heavyweight, small mesh traveling screen is positioned immediately ahead of the intake pumps to prevent entry of debris that may either damage mechanical equipment or impair chemical treatment processes. Water intake structures located on the shores of the Kansas River. At the Topeka Water Treatment Facility, there are Picture shows elevated turbidity levels many shapes and sizes of basins and each is designed caused by recent rains. to provide controlled contact and settling time for each specific chemical or mechanical process. Depending on their location in the treatment scheme, individual basin capacities range from thousands of gallons to nearly three million gallons. The basins in each of the three (3) treatment plants at the Topeka Water Treatment Facility are connected in series, with each adjoining basin slightly lower in elevation than the previous. This allows the water to continuously flow by gravity from the beginning of the treatment process to the end. The average detention time for an entire process cycle through each of the three (3) treatment plants is nearly 24 hours to flow from the intake to the treated water Picture shows the West Plant (1954).
