Dubai and Abu Dhabi have emerged as the two most sustainable cities in the Middle East region, according to the 2016 Sustainable Cities Index from Arcadis. The overall index is informed through an analysis of 32 different indicators and is also broken down into three sub- indices across each pillar. Dubai ranked first out of the eight Middle East cities covered in this year's report and 52nd overall. The city scored exceptionally well on the profit indicators finishing in Tunisia fourth place globally, well ahead of other major business hubs like New York, Paris and Tokyo. It also performed well from a social perspective although fared less Fertile Ground well on the environmental side, finishing Remains Strong 7th in the region and 96th globally.

O In these cases a lower cost yet effective solution may be found in increasing filtration process efficiencies with deep bed anthracite. Granular media filtration is a fundamental process polishing technology used to achieve acceptable water quality. Anthracite is an accepted filter media for standard dual media applications for potable water (usually 18 inches (in) [450 millimeters (mm)] of 0.95-1.05 mm Effective Size [ES] over 12 in [300 mm] of 0.45-0.55 mm ES silica sand).
However, in recent studies designers Figure 1: Effect of media sizes on filter run length in the pilot study at Sioux Falls, SD using anthracite depths up to 60 in have successfully extended run time and increased solids storage. Designers have also used deep bed, large grain, mono-media anthracite in low turbidity scenarios where filters directly process source water with minimal chemical addition and flocculation before the filters. Advances in underdrain backwash systems have provided a low profile media support with improved backwash functionality resulting in better deep bed anthracite cleaning. Most drinking water Biologically Active Filters (BAF) are engineered for the removal of a specific The collapse-pulse approach is used in material.

In Alberta, particles (> 2 µm) from Figure 3: Effect of media sizes on the removal of TSS in the pilot study at Sioux Falls, SD individual filters should not exceed 50#/ mL (Suthaker et al. 2007). In municipal wastewater treatment, media filters are usually applied after secondary biological treatment reducing total suspended solids (TSS) to less than 5 milligram per liter (mg/L) for discharge compliance or reuse. Similar to drinking water cases, either a single layer of media or dual media with sand and anthracite are generally applied.

Some of the loading rate increases have been up to 60 percent more than standard configurations. This suggests that using deep bed anthracite can enable more flow with existing filter arrangements thereby obviating the need to add more filters.

Groundwater supplies are limited and overexploited. Booming civilization, new roads being built across the country, Q 50 new hotels just in 2 years, more than 15 newly emerging shopping malls and thousands of labor workers arriving every month – this has all led to the country having the highest water consumption per capita in the world: >500 L/day/person, according to the Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI). To meet local demands, the State of Qatar is 99 percent dependent on desalinated seawater, an energy intensive and expensive source. Since neither groundwater sup- plies, nor a few days of rain per year are even close to bringing any reserves, the Public Works Authority ‘Ashgal’ has been actively promoting alternative sources of water supply. The direction is toward helping the booming civilization to become self-sufficient in some aspects. Let’s find out how and who will benefit the most.

Parallel to sewage treatment done by public authorities, there is another resource which can be efficiently used to its full potential – grey water. It is generated in households or office buildings – in water basins, lavatory flush and showers, excluding toilet (black water) and kitchen (contains biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) matter, fat and grease). Once treated from solids, hair, organic contaminants, oils, bacteria like e-coli and measurable levels of BOD and COD (chemical oxygen demand), it can be reused for flushing toilets or irrigation. This results in a 30 percent reduction to potable water use for the development. A drawback to grey water treatment is definitely the need to collect it in a separate drainage pipework. Basins, showers and baths are the primary input for pipework installation. Nevertheless, the same network could also collect grey water Grey water recycling system proposal by Watermaster's supplier, Aquaco Water Recycling UK from washing machines, laundries, kitchen

Simply stated, the API oil/water T separator is a device designed to separate oil and suspended solids from industrial wastewater sources, such as those found in oil refineries, petroleum handling facilities, petrochemical and chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and more, according to API. Since the inception of the standard API oil/water separator, most refineries throughout the world and numerous companies in a variety of industries – from railroads to steel mills – have installed oil/water separators to aid with wastewater treatment. For industrial facilities or organizations that have a need to separate oil from wastewater, oil/water separators are a key component to operational success. However, while oil/water separators are known to successfully separate oil from water, they often do not provide an optimal solution for removing oil following separation. This paper discusses the benefits of adding an oil skimming solution to an oil/water separator. It showcases how oil skimmers can enhance the efficiency of oil/water separators by removing oil following separation. Highlights include: reduced equipment maintenance needs, improved operations of down- the-line filtration equipment, enhanced environmental compliance, and increased cost savings.

2. Coalescing oil/water separators With coalescing separators, also known as parallel plate separators, the general flow of oil and water through the separator is similar to a gravity separator. However, in a coalescing separator, oil and water also flows through oleophillic media like polypropylene or Teflon®. This media is intended to slow the flow of the oil and water to allow oil droplets to bind together on the surface of the media. By coalescing, or binding together, the oil droplets become larger and more buoyant, further enhancing separation, according to the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection Division of Water.

Improvement of water quality is seen as the final hurdle in the advancement of the German water sector. All involved associations assured that suppliers of drinking water and effluent disposers address these tasks and will do all they can to achieve a consensus on flexible and individual local solutions.
According to the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), Germany is the second largest donor in the water sector worldwide. An estimated 100 million people in 22 countries benefit from ongoing activities financed by the BMZ creating access to sanitation and water in consistence with human rights.

The dam was created on a weak I foundation of gypsum, anhydrite and limestone, all of which are water-soluble. Since its creation, Iraq has been continually grouting the dam to ensure that it does not collapse. The presence of Islamic State (IS) around the dam in recent years, however, has diverted resources away from grouting. The absence of recent maintenance and a surge in spring waters from winter snow melt means that the dam is now at risk of a catastrophic breach.

Water consumption has exceeded 8 million cubic meters per day (m3/d), and T is expected to reach 20 million m3/d by 2020. Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the world without running surface water and has been dependent on desalinated water since the 1950s.

However, desalination alone may not be able to provide for future demand, which is growing at 7 to 8 percent annually. Saudi Arabia has taken a number of measures to reduce consumption by increasing efficiency, eliminating waste, and ending unsustainable practices. The use of ground water to irrigate crops beginning in the 1970s nearly depleted Saudi Arabia’s aquifers, so in 2010, the Saudi Government announced it would discourage agricultural water use by ending subsidies for water-intensive crops by 2016.

ازدهار الطاقة الشمسية Solar PV Poised to الكهروضوئية يف أفريقيا Boom in Africa Thanks يف ضوء انخفاض تكاليفها to Declining Costs
أصدرت "الوكالة الدولية للطاقة المتجددة" )IRENA( تقريراً جديداً بعنوان "الطاقة The business case for solar photovoltaics (PV) in Africa is الشمسية الكهروضوئية في أفريقيا: التكاليف واألسواق"، وتكشف فيه أن االستثمار stronger than ever thanks to rapidly declining technology costs, according to a new report released by the International في قطاع الطاقة الشمسية الكهروضوئية في أفريقيا يشهد زخماً أكبـر من أي وقت :Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Solar PV in Africa مضى بفضل االنخفاض السريع في تكاليف تقنيات هذا القطاع. ويشير التقرير إلى أن Costs and Markets, estimates that installed costs for power التكلفة المركبة لمشاريع الطاقة الشمسية الكهروضوئية على مستوى المرافق الخدمية generated by utility-scale solar PV projects in Africa have في أفريقيا قد انخفضت بنسبة 61 في المئة منذ عام 2012، إذ تبلغ هذه التكلفة حالياً decreased as much as 61 percent since 2012. Today, installed 30, 1دوالر أمريكي لكل واط مقارنة بالمعدل العالمي البالغ 80, 1دوالر لكل واط. costs for these projects are as low as USD1.30 per watt in Africa, compared to the global average of USD1.80 per watt. وفي إطار تعليقه على الموضوع، قال )عدنان أمين(، مدير عام "الوكالة الدولية In recent years, solar PV costs have dropped dramatically and“ للطاقة المتجددة": "انخفضت تكاليف الطاقة الشمسية الكهروضوئية بشكل كبير will continue to do so with further declines of up to 59 percent خ ل السنوات األخيرة، وستواصل انخفاضها لتصل إلى نحو 59 في المئة في السنوات possible in the next ten years,” said IRENA Director-General العشر المقبلة. ويوفر هذا الهبـوط في التكاليف، مقروناً باإلمكانات الواسعة للطاقة Adnan Z.
