3 Environmental Engineering ä Protecting the environment from the potentially deleterious effects of human activity ä Improving environmental quality for human health and well-being ä Protecting the environment from the potentially deleterious effects of human activity ä Improving environmental quality for human health and well-being How has environmental engineering affected you today? äReducing, Reusing, Recycling to eliminate excess waste of resources äDisposing of waste (sewage, garbage...) äWhat about the space we use, the CO 2 we emit... äClean (and convenient!) drinking water äClean air äClean wastewater äClean soil teams

4 Environmental Engineering for the Megalopolis ä A very large or principal city, a metropolis ä a continuous urban sprawl formed from the expansion of adjoining cities ä the way of life characteristic of such a city ä the practice of building large cities ä A very large or principal city, a metropolis ä a continuous urban sprawl formed from the expansion of adjoining cities ä the way of life characteristic of such a city ä the practice of building large cities (megalopolises)

5 Environmental Engineering for the Megalopolis ä Water supply ä Where does the water come from? ä How much water is needed? ä How does it get to the city? ä Is the water safe to drink? ä How is the water purified? ä Solid waste management ä How much garbage do cities produce? ä Where is it all going? ä What are the alternatives? ä Water supply ä Where does the water come from? ä How much water is needed? ä How does it get to the city? ä Is the water safe to drink? ä How is the water purified? ä Solid waste management ä How much garbage do cities produce? ä Where is it all going? ä What are the alternatives? Case study: NYC

9 New York Water Consumption ä 1.4 billion gallons/day ä 5.3 billion liters/day ä 588 liters/person/day ä ___ m 3 /s ä 1.4 billion gallons/day ä 5.3 billion liters/day ä 588 liters/person/day ä ___ m 3 /s 58 3.9 m

10 New York City Water ä Where does New York City’s water come from? ä How does the water get to all the buildings? ä Where does the water go when it “goes down the drain” Could NYC get its water from the rainfall on the City? Solution

11 New York Garbage ä 7,500 tons of garbage/day 6,800,000 kg/day ____ kg/person/day ä 750 tons of construction debris/day ä 7,500 tons of garbage/day 6,800,000 kg/day ____ kg/person/day ä 750 tons of construction debris/day 0.75

12 Recycling New York City Recycling ä 1,600 tons of recyclables/day ä 1000 tons of paper/day ä 600 tons of metal, glass and plastic/day ä 1,600 tons of recyclables/day ä 1000 tons of paper/day ä 600 tons of metal, glass and plastic/day

14 Water Treatment Plant Project ä Goal: Design, build, operate, and automate a miniature drinking water treatment plant. ä Here's your chance to develop your engineering skills! ä Logistics – section constraints ä Max of 16 students per section ä Need to split into 2 sections ä New section time on Friday afternoon ä 12:20 – 2:15 ä 1:25 – 2:20 ä 2:30 – 4:25 ä Goal: Design, build, operate, and automate a miniature drinking water treatment plant. ä Here's your chance to develop your engineering skills! ä Logistics – section constraints ä Max of 16 students per section ä Need to split into 2 sections ä New section time on Friday afternoon ä 12:20 – 2:15 ä 1:25 – 2:20 ä 2:30 – 4:25 Review schedule

15 Could NYC get its water from the rainfall on the City? Annual Rainfall ____________ NYC consumption ___________________ 5.3 billion liters/day 1 m/yr NYC area ___________________ 800.0 km 2 How could we convert the consumption into a velocity with units of m/yr?
