Integrated Water And Waste Water Management For A Township

Abstract

 Global changes impacting on the use of water resources are the reality and recognizing that urbanization will exert a greater impact on human activity compared to climate change, at least up until 2050, requires urgent action. Unavailability of land mainly due to urbanization has led to the considerable increase in number of townships being constructed. With the rate of increase in the number of townships and the development of resources in these townships following opposite directions, planned management and judicial use of existing resources becomes critical. The availability of water resource is one major area of concern considering the drastic increase in the water demand in townships. Integrated Water Resource Management is one of the best ways to ensure water sustainability, for a township it becomes equally important to manage the resources which are limited and excessive amount of waste water being generated from usage. Water demand for the township was projected based on population to estimate the supply required in long term. Thus waste water generated also plays a crucial role as it can be used as resource for recycling and recharging. The water balance of the township is further enhanced with the integrated resource management approach.
