22. Environmental problems result from the local or short-term optimization of resource management strategies, ignoring some externalities (side effects, costs to others). All life degrades its environment. All living systems have self-regulatory capabilities – within usually unknown limits. result from the local or short-term optimization of resource management strategies, ignoring some externalities (side effects, costs to others).

31. A river basin perspective: Water can easily be accounted for, a mass budget approach is feasible; The hydrographic unit of the catchment or river basin provides a naturally bounded well defined system; Conservation laws (mass, momentum) are used to describe dynamic water budgets.

32. A river basin perspective: Industrial water use is one of the demand nodes in a river basin network/graph: –Input nodes (sub-catchment, wells) –Domestic demand nodes –Agricultural demand nodes –Industrial demand nodes –Reservoirs, lakes –Structural components (confluence) connected by river reaches, canals

43. Water demand Depends on: Production volumeProduction volume Production technologyProduction technology Recycling strategiesRecycling strategies Demand has quantitative and qualitative elements, usually involves water treatment For a given cost of water, an optimal strategy can be computed based on investment cost, discount rate, and project lifetime (NPV)

44. Water demand intake Consumptive use recycling return flow Productionprocess

45. Consumptive use Water demand consists of: Consumptive useConsumptive use –Process water (integrated in the product) –Cooling (evaporation) Temporary use (return flow)Temporary use (return flow) But pollution can make the return flow unfit for subsequent use

46. Conflicting use More than 70% of water is generally used for agriculture (irrigation); Added value per unit water used in industry is usually between 50 to 100 times higher than in agriculture; Domestic use of water is comparatively small, but with high quality requirements and low elasticity. Environmental use (low flow, quality constraints).

Water Pollution 1.Industrial effluents incl.spills 2.Domestic sewage 3.Irrigation return flow Reduces potential utility for other down- stream usersReduces potential utility for other down- stream users Endangers biological systems (fish kill)Endangers biological systems (fish kill) May accumulate over long periods (chemical time bombs in sediments)May accumulate over long periods (chemical time bombs in sediments)

51. Waste management Waste allocation: Utilizes the self-purification potential of natural water bodies (BOD, biodegradable substances); But many toxics and heavy metals are persistent (long term cumulative damage, bioaccumulation, sediments).
