Chinas South-North Water Diversion Project

Sat, 01 May 2010 08:17:57 -0400

Beijing, which recently hosted the Olympic and Para-Olympic Games, is a city of approximately 16 million people and growing rapidly; current projections estimate that by 2010 there will be over 17 million residents. While normally news about a city expanding is met with enthusiasm, Beijing’s water supply can only support about 14 million. Complicating the matter is the fact that Beijing is in the dry north and the surrounding province of Hebei has been locked in a drought since 1999; since that time, the region has only received about 75 percent of the anticipated precipitation. Northern China, the industrial heart of the nation, has a much lower rainfall than the southern reaches of China and its rivers are beginning to run dry. Over the past 20 years, the Yellow River has often gone dry in its lower reaches and some smaller rivers are now dried out most of the year. Beijing has worked with Hebei Province to supply the city with water, but there just isn’t enough water to be had. In fact, areas of Hebei are showing evidence of subsidencedue to the drain on groundwater reserves. **End Summary** Topics: Wastewater treatment]]> Wastewater bid]]> Water bid]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> H2bid.com is an international clearinghouse for water utility contract opportunities.

Water Utilities-Decreasing Revenues and Increasing Costs

Fri, 23 Apr 2010 02:06:08 -0400

A complex set of circumstances are at play to cause this improbable situation including lower demand, a shift in income sources and fixed costs associated with maintenance and facilities. Efforts have been made by the utilities to reduce their costs where possible, but this has not alleviated the problem, entirely. Water consumers – virtually every household and business in the United States – must find ways to manage their finances or conserve even more. During the global recession, many businesses have reduced shifts or closed entirely. To the extent that these companies were users of water, their demand has dried up with their industry. Before the recession began, many companies were heavy users of water, including metal processing plants, assembly factories and food and beverage makers. Each of these industries, and more like them, used water in ways that most consumers wouldn’t – water jet cutting, process heating and chilling. Such industrial water creates two stresses on the water system; the demand for the water itself and the demand for wastewater treatment after it is used. Water utilities responded to these stresses in the boom-times by building modern wastewater treatment facilities and increasing their well-fields. **End Summary** Topics: Wastewater treatment]]> Wastewater bid]]> Water bid]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> H2bid.com is an international clearinghouse for water utility contract opportunities.

Federal Funding to Keep the Great Lakes Great

Tue, 20 Apr 2010 03:00:30 -0400

This summer, the President delivered his request for funding to the U.S. Department of the Interior and in that document the President requested a boost in spending of approximately $475 million in FY 2010 targeting Great Lakes cleanup and restoration efforts. The additional funding adds to the roughly $500 million that Congress routinely appropriates to the Great Lakes each year. In total, the President’s request would mean nearly $1 billion for the effort. At the time that this article was written, both the House and the Senate have passed their versions of the FY 2010 Interior appropriations bill and the House has passed the conference committee version which marries the two original bills into one. The Senate is expected to take up the conference committee version in the coming weeks and it is widely expected to pass. In addition to simply adding money to the coffers, President Obama has also appointed a “Great Lakes Czar” to oversee cleanup and restoration efforts. **End Summary** Topics: Wastewater treatment]]> Wastewater bid]]> Water bid]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> H2bid.com is an international clearinghouse for water utility contract opportunities.
