WASTE MANAGMENT

Crystal-
There are many ways of waste segregation.
One of these is the Japanese method of segregation.although the Japanese method of segregation is extensively divided into 8 parts. It also consists of a list of wet and dry waste will are to put in each category. The system allots a specific day for the collection of waste.
Mainly the wet waste which spoils fast is collected daily, but the dry waste is segregated and collected on different days of the week. Sometimes 2 or 3 times a week or even once a month. certain wastes like used batteries are collected twice a year.
Here is an article which was published in -"THE HINDU" it tells about the usage of the Japanese simplified system of garbage segregation.

Priti Narayan Garbage will be segregated into three categories Town generates around 350 tonnes of garbage per day Proper incineration, unlike open-air burning, does not release noxious gases PUDUCHERRY: As a permanent solution to Puducherry’s garbage disposal problem, the Puducherry Pollution Control Committee (PPCC) has proposed the implementation of the Japanese model of solid waste management in the town.According to the Action Plan proposed, available on the PPCC website, the model involves a different kind of source segregation of garbage, into three kinds: kitchen waste, incinerable waste and inert waste.“Japan’s high life expectancy has a lot to do with the basic concept of waste management: the objective is to simply remove garbage that could contain pathogens that cause diseases like malaria, filariasis, cholera and typhoid,” environmental engineer N. Ramesh of PPCC explained. In Japan, waste is segregated into eight categories, but Puducherry can adopt a simplified approach, he added.The town generates around 350 tonnes of garbage a day. According to the proposal, segregation of waste into these three categories would take place at the household level. Kitchen waste, which have the tendency to rot and produce odour, would be collected everyday, and directed to a composite plant, in which composting can be facilitated.Incinerable waste, such as paper scraps, cloth and plastic cups, would be collected once a week and directed to an incinerator, while inert waste, such as broken ceramic, glass and metal scraps, collected once a month would be taken to a landfill site.Proper incineration at 1,200 degrees and more, as opposed to open-air burning of garbage, does not release noxious gases, and the ash can be directed to the landfill site, along with inert waste. This way, only 10 per cent of the entire garbage generated will find its way to the landfill site, unlike now, when almost all the garbage goes to the dump, Mr. Ramesh said.Another salient point in the proposal is the setting up of transition collection points. “One of the problems faced today is that our garbage collection trucks having to travel long distances to dump large amounts of garbage. Instead, the trucks could come to the transition point and transfer the garbage into a compacter, a closed vehicle with the capacity of five trucks, and from thereon, the compacter could go to the destination — be it the composite plant, incinerator or landfill,” Mr. Ramesh said.The estimated cost of the entire project is Rs.50 crore, and the initial expenditure on awareness handbooks and five public dustbins, each a set of three, would come to around Rs. 1 crore.

The solution would be a permanent one and is bound to make Puducherry a clean, green place, Mr. Ramesh said.

               Germany

Germany has a selective system of waste disposal. Since the local authorities are in
charge of waste management, this can vary from town to town. In Bonn waste
disposal is organized in the following way:
Every household in general has 4 bins: a black, a green, a blue and a yellow one.
The waste has to be sorted according to the material it consists of and is to be
disposed of as follows:
1. Black Bin
2. Green Bin
3. Blue Bin
4. Yellow Bin Glass (non-returnable bottles, food containers such as jam jars)

has to be disposed of separately. In all neighbourhoods one can find glass
containers. The glass has to be sorted according to its colour (brown, green and
white glass). The glass containers closest to the MPI are situated at the corner of Auf
dem Hügel/Bleichgraben (road leading to the MPI parking).
Bulky waste
All household furnishings which are too bulky for disposal in waste bins such as
furniture, lamps, cupboards/wardrobes, carpets (up to 50 m2), shelves, tables and
chairs.
Collection: Street collection 4 times a year
You should not add: Vehicle parts, old clothes, building waste, domestic waste,
electrical appliances, waste requiring special disposal, cartons, packaging
Waste requiring special disposal
• Large electrical appliances
Such as refrigerators, TV sets or hi-fi equipment, computers, dishwashers,
washing machines, etc.
→ For free collection of these please phone: 01801/880066 (SITA Wagner GmbH)
• Small electrical appliances
Such as toasters, irons, coffee machines, portable radios, hairdryers, etc.
→ Red bins at Lievelingsweg 110 (Office for City Cleaning and Waste
Management), town hall
• Paint, lacquer, solvents, fluorescent and energy-saving lamps, alkaline solutions,
acids, batteries, cleaning agents
→ Waste Recycling Plant, Am Dickobskreuz
Waste disposal schedules are generally distributed to every household by the city of
Bonn (Amt für Stadtreinigung und Abfallwirtschaft).
You can also get your personal schedule from the following page:

First click your postal code district in the map displayed there, then choose your
street name in the list, enter the street number and click “Auswählen”. Use either
“Abfallplaner drucken” (top) or “Seite ausdrucken” (bottom) to make a printout. 

ABC Waters Design Features

Introduction to ABC Waters Design Features

Crystal & Ayano : Hello everyone, today we will be sharing what  
                            ABC Waters Design Features is about.

Crystal : Ayano! Since there is ABC in the title, are we going to  
             learn about alphabet as well? (O.O)

Ayano : Heh… no (^_^). In the title, ABC represents Active, Beautiful
            and Clean. Which means the audience will be learning
            different Waters Design Features that contributes to the
            Active, Beautiful and Clean aspects.

Crystal & Ayano : The different Waters Design Features that we
                            will be sharing are

Vegetated Swale

Bioretention Basin

Sedimentation Basin

Floating Wetlands

Ayano : These Water Design Features are capable of removing

             pollutants and sediments from rainwater runoff as well
             as aesthetically pleasing for the public.

Crystal : That’s right! They also prevent eutrophication (algal
              bloom) from occurring. Look at the waterbody below
              which is suffering from eutrophication (T_T)

Ayano : Therefore, it is also highly recommended to build Waters

            Design Features on upstream of a waterbody (such as river or  
             lake) to ensure cleaner water entering the waterbody. (>_<)

Crystal & Ayano : Without further ado, let’s start introducing these

                     amazing features!

Vegetated Swale

Crystal : The first feature that we will introduce is the Vegetated Swale.

Crystal : I shall further explain the following processes. (^^)
             Sedimentation is a process whereby the sediments in water
             settle down onto the waterbody bed, thus the water runoff
             contains lesser sediments.

             Detention (Nope, not the usual punishment for students haha.  
             But the concept applies) is a process whereby water is detained
             in the Waters Design Feature (in this case, the water is detained
             in the vegetated swale). It promotes sedimentation.

             Conveyance is a process whereby the water is being transported
             from one place to another place.

             Infiltration is a process whereby the water seeps into the grass.

             
Crystal : But wait…. Why is the slope only 10° ? It is so close to being
              horizontal. (O.O)

Ayano : Vegetated swale is only slightly sloped because this Waters
            Design Feature has been used in parks whereby people do their
            jogging and other exercises. It prevents them from falling. Other
            than that, the slight slope enhances detention which in turn  
            enhances sedimentation. Thus, overall efficiency of vegetated
            swale is heightened. (^_^)

Crystal : Cool! (*0*)

Bioretention Basin

Ayano : Moving on, we shall introduce Bioretention Basin.

Ayano : I shall explain some of the processes which are not explained
            under the Vegetated Swale section. (^^)

            Filtration is the process whereby larger particles (in this case,
            finer particles) are trapped by the filter (in this case, plant roots)
            whereas the water will pass through the filter.

            Biological uptake is a process whereby soluble pollutants (for
            ABC Waters Design Features, main pollutants are nitrates and
            phosphates) are being uptaken by plants, thus the water is
            cleaner.

Crystal : Bioretention basin is also known as rain garden! Because the
             various plants being put together is like forming a garden!

Sedimentation Basin

Crystal : All right, next I will be introducing sedimentation basin. As I have
             mentioned earlier, sedimentation is a process whereby the
             sediments settle down onto the waterbody bed. Sedimentation
             basin specialises in that.
             Hehe, the picture shown below is not any typical pond or lake, but is a sedimentation basin.

Crystal : The process which has not been mentioned in the earlier
             sections are retention. Retention is a process whereby the water
             is retained in a waterbody (in this case, sedimentation basin) for
             longer period of time. Difference between detention and retention
             is that the water is retained for longer period of time during
             retention while detention is shorter than retention.
             (Did you get confused? XD)

Crystal : Realised that sedimentation basin does not use any plants at all?
             This Waters Design Feature only require a “large basin” so that
              as much sediments can settle down on the bed as possible.
              

Ayano : Sedimentation basin also serve as a habitat and water source for
            nearby animals.

Floating Wetlands

Ayano : Lastly, I will be introducing floating wetlands.

Ayano : Floating wetlands are efficient in preventing eutrophication.
            Eutrophication is a serious water pollution whereby there is
            excessive growth of algae on the water surface. Thus, sunlight
            cannot penetrate into the waterbody and the aquatic plants on the
            waterbody bed is unable to conduct photosynthesis. Hence,
            dissolved oxygen level in the waterbody decreases, resulting in
            death of aquatic plants and fishes.
            Eutrophication occurs when there is an excess in nutrients.

Crystal : Water Bodies suffering from eutrophication also emits foul smell
             due to production of hydrogen sulfide. (>_<)

Ayano : And regarding the biofilm on the root hairs of the wetland plants,
            this biofilm is basically a film of biological substances on the root
            hairs. These biological substances are responsible for taking in
            the nitrates and phosphates, thus preventing eutrophication.



Conclusion

Ayano : We shall now move on to the final section which is conclusion.
            The above mentioned Waters Design Features not only serve as
            water cleansing features, they also enable the public to
            appreciate the greenery as well as our valuable clean water.
            (^^)

Crystal : These Waters Design Features can be discovered in parks, walkways, wildlife conservation parks etc. In a way, they seem to have “hidden abilities” ! (*^*)
