- Water storage and flood control are essential for managing water resources and mitigating the impact of
flooding.
- Air and water treatment are crucial for maintaining the quality of our natural resources and ensuring
public health and safety.
- Importance of water storage: Provides a reliable water supply during droughts and supports agriculture,
industries, and urban areas.
- Benefits of effective water storage: Ensures water availability, safeguards against water scarcity, and
promotes sustainable development.
- Significance of flood control: Protects lives, properties, and infrastructure from water damage during
heavy rainfall or river flooding.
- Methods of flood control: Constructing levees, flood barriers, and floodways; improving drainage
systems.
- Benefits of effective flood control: Minimizes flood-related losses, enhances community resilience, and
reduces economic disruptions.
- Importance of air treatment: Ensures clean and healthy air for breathing, reduces air pollution-related
health risks, and supports environmental sustainability.
- Techniques used for air treatment: Filtering particulate matter, removing pollutants through chemical
reactions, and controlling emissions from industrial sources.
- Benefits of effective air treatment: Protects public health, minimizes respiratory diseases, and improves
overall air quality.
Slide 6: Water Treatment [[ Rene ]]
- Need for water treatment: Removes contaminants from water sources, including pollutants,
microorganisms, and chemicals, to make it safe for consumption.
- Processes involved in water treatment: Coagulation, filtration, disinfection, and advanced treatment
(e.g., reverse osmosis).
- Benefits of effective water treatment: Provides safe drinking water, prevents waterborne diseases, and
promotes public health.
- Importance of an integrated approach to water storage, flood control, air treatment, and water treatment.
- Synergies between these practices: Shared infrastructure resources, improved water and air quality, and
enhanced disaster preparedness and response.
- Challenges in water storage and flood control: Balancing the needs of competing water users,
environmental concerns, and consideration of climate change impacts.
- Challenges in air and water treatment: Identifying and reducing sources of pollution, maintaining
infrastructure and technologies, and ensuring equitable access to clean resources.
- Promising solutions: Efficient water storage and distribution systems, nature-based flood control
measures, advanced air and water treatment technologies.
- Innovations in technology: AI-based monitoring and management systems, predictive modeling for
flood forecasting, advanced filtration and purification methods.
Slide 10: Benefits and Future Outlook [[ Ryan -Benefits ]] & [[ Justine - Importance ]]
