Water and wastewater treatment are key to protect humans in cities by providing safe water and urban hygiene and to protect the aquatic environment from pollutants. Over the past century, urban water management allowed for healthy and pleasant living conditions in ever-growing cities in many parts of the world. This presentation will discuss the potential for local reuse of treated greywater and drivers for implementation. What are the scientific and technological challenges? How can appropriate local water reuse be implemented in a way that it does not jeopardize today’s achievements in urban water management and urban hygiene? Basic sciences for gravity-driven membrane (GDM) filtration and technology development for reuse of hand washing water in informal settlements (http://www.autarky.ch/) or resource recovery at the building scale (http://www.eawag.ch/waterhub) will be discussed.
Eberhard Morgenroth holds a Ph.D. (Technical University of Munich 1998) in civil and environmental engineering. He currently is a Professor for Process Engineering in Urban Water Management, with appointments at ETH Zürich and Eawag (http://www.sww.ifu.ethz.ch/ and https://www.eawag.ch/en/), and is department head at Eawag. His research interests include wastewater treatment, membrane bioreactors for water reuse, control of biofilms, biofilm reactors, biological drinking water treatment, decentralized wastewater treatment, and energy recovery from wastewater and organic residuals. Currently, he is a visiting professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Maji na maji taka ni muhimu kwa kulinda watu katika miji kwa kutoa maji salama na usafi wa mijini na kulinda mazingira ya maji kutoka kwa uchafuzi. Katika karne iliyopita, usimamizi wa maji ya mijini uliruhusu hali nzuri ya maisha katika miji inayokua kila wakati katika sehemu nyingi za ulimwengu. Uwasilishaji huu utazungumzia uwezekano wa matumizi ya ndani ya maji ya kijivu yaliyotengenezwa na madereva kwa ajili ya utekelezaji. Ni changamoto gani za kisayansi na kiteknolojia? Jinsi gani matumizi sahihi ya maji ya ndani yanaweza kutekelezwa kwa njia ambayo haitahatarisha mafanikio ya leo katika usimamizi wa maji ya mijini na usafi wa mijini? Mafunzo ya msingi ya filters ya mvuto-kuendeshwa (GDM) na maendeleo ya teknolojia ya matumizi ya maji ya kuosha mikono katika makazi yasiyo ya kawaida (http: www.autarky.ch) au uokoaji wa rasilimali katika kiwango cha jengo (http: www.eawag.ch). Eberhard Morgenroth ni mtaalamu wa uhandisi wa ujenzi na mazingira. Yeye ni Profesa wa Uhandisi wa Utaratibu katika Usimamizi wa Maji ya Mji, na miadi katika ETH Zurich na EWAG (http: www.sw.ifu.ethz.ch) na ni Mkuu wa Idara katika EWAG. Mafunzo yake ya utafiti ni pamoja na matibabu ya maji taka, membrane bioreactors kwa ajili ya matumizi ya maji, kudhibiti biofilms, biofilm reactors, matibabu ya maji ya kunywa, matibabu ya maji taka decentralized, na nishati ya maji taka na mabaki ya kikaboni. Hivi sasa, yeye ni profesa mgeni katika Chuo Kikuu cha Illinois katika Urbana-Champaign.
