    Water is refreshing, hydrating, and invaluable to your survival. But clean water remains a precious and often scarce commodity - there are nearly 800 million people who still don’t have regular access to it. Why is that? And how can you tell whether the water you have access to - whether from a tap or otherwise - is drinkable? Mia Nacamulli examines water contamination and treatment.
    Lesson by Mia Nacamulli, directed by Rooftop Animation.

    Not everyone in the world has access to clean fresh water. So be thankful for what you have, and never waste water.

    Never in my life have I worried about drinking tap water. It might seem like something quite obvious, but not everyone can say the same. It is amazing how so many things that we feel are a "given" are actually things to be grateful for.

    This is a good simplifying of the water treatment process. It works well as an introduction to water purification, but if you want to pursue wastewater treatment there are a few more things you should know:
    -Before any treatment, a grinder mashes physical material like toilet paper or diapers, rendering them smaller and subject to treatment.
    -Sedimentation often occurs in two steps: *aeration,* when operators use an acid, base, and microorganisms to turn dissolved ions in water into gas and inject air to remove the gases. Sludge settles as sediment, and *clarification,* removes the sludge from the water. At my local sewage plant, aeration and clarification occur in two stages.
    -Wastewater operators take water samples at various times during the day and conduct tests on them in a lab. Operators look to see how long sludge takes to settle--clarification should take longer than aeration. Conditions of the samples reflect what's happening in the tank.
    -Some plants benefit from a *microfiltration* station, which catches microscopic material that sedimentation and filtration couldn't catch. Microfiltration has immense cleaning ability, but these machines are rare--my local plant has one, and it cost over a million dollars to build.
    -Chlorine and ozone aren't the only ways to disinfect water. UV disinfection uses ultraviolet light to kill microorganism in treated water. All UV disinfection requires are some UV rods and a source of energy.

    You forgot the microbilogical clear-process in the activated sludge tank (usually at the end) or before desinfection.

      Yes, but they do occasionally post those kinds of videos. It would help to diversify their content and maybe increase the views seeing as those videos attract the most views.

      First of all, Trump hasn't even finished his first year as president. Second of all, Obama was faced with s fslling economy, but did bring it back up to what what it was before, if not better than, he achieved presidency. And third of all, look at his cabinet. Look at the fact he is already asking for money for his second campaign. Look at everything he has said about Hillary, about anyone who doesn't like him.

      That's true indeed. But some places in Africa they have good quality water, and yet the population growth hasn't declined. Clean drinking water doesn't always bring development on other fields. :/

    • @Jabberwockybird
      @Jabberwockybird 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think that running water gets rid of one danger. Becuase stagnant water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, you should never drink stagnant. But I don't think that would prevent other dangers. If the water is downstream from a poluted source or if it has those parasites.
