Gaza wastewater treatment plant as a model for low cost wastewater treatment technology in semi-arid environment

REA Auditado

Gaza Wastewater Treatment Plant (GWWTP) is a well-established facility, and was used to study the suitability of individual treatment components as possible low cost treatment systems for semi-arid regions in terms of removal efficiency. Samples were taken at weekly intervals over an 18 week period. During this period there were significant removals of BOD, COD and TSS. The removal efficiencies of BOD and TSS in the anaerobic component were 41% and 44% respectively, while BOD removal efficiencies in the bio-towers and aerated lagoons were 56% and 51% respectively.

Water demand management: a case study of the kingdom of Bahrain

REA Auditado

This research used an Integrated Water Resource Management approach to investigate how Water Demand Management (WDM) measures at government, utility and end-user levels could contribute to providing sustainable water supply to Bahrain, which is in an arid to semiarid region. The main driver for this research was the supply-driven orientation favoured by policy makers and practitioners in Bahrain with little consideration for demand management. This leads to a high estimated gross per capita consumption 525 l/c/d as of 2010.
