Jinjiang–Kinmen Pipeline
The Jinjiang–Kinmen Pipeline is a pipeline that supplies drinking water from Jinjiang City in Mainland China to Kinmen County in Fujian Province, Republic of China. Background Being a small island county, Kinmen had been facing water scarcity problems for years. In 2013, the county drew more than 8,000 tonnes of groundwater every day. Reservoirs were barely sufficient to supply water during dry season. The Kinmen County Government considered seawater desalination as one of several options. However, the cost of desalination was too much for the county government to bear. Therefore, purchasing water from mainland China was the most feasible solution. History Kinmen County first expressed their intention to purchase water from mainland China in 1996 when it suffered from severe drought. In 2000, the Water Resources Bureau accessed the idea of creating such infrastructure project. In June 2013, Taiwan and mainland China agreed to cooperate to solve the water shortage in Kinmen dur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Drinking Water
Drinking water is water that is used in drink or food preparation; potable water is water that is safe to be used as drinking water. The amount of drinking water required to maintain good health varies, and depends on physical activity level, age, health-related issues, and environmental conditions. This 2004 article focuses on the USA context and uses data collected from the US military. Recent work showed that the most important driver of water turnover which is closely linked to water requirements is energy expenditure. For those who work in a hot climate, up to a day may be required. Typically in developed countries, tap water meets drinking water quality standards, even though only a small proportion is actually consumed or used in food preparation. Other typical uses for tap water include washing, toilets, and irrigation. Greywater may also be used for toilets or irrigation. Its use for irrigation however may be associated with risks. Water may also be unacceptable d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Water Pumping
The pumping of water is a basic and practical technique, far more practical than scooping it up with one's hands or lifting it in a hand-held bucket. This is true whether the water is drawn from a Purified water, fresh source, moved to a needed location, water purification, purified, or used for irrigation, washing, or sewage treatment, or for evacuating water from an undesirable location. Regardless of the outcome, the energy required to pump water is an extremely demanding component of water footprint, water consumption. All other processes depend or benefit either from water descending from a higher elevation or some pressurized plumbing system. The ancient concept of the aqueduct (water supply), aqueduct took simple and eloquent advantage of maintaining elevation of water for as long and far a distance as possible. Thus, as water moves over great distances, it retains a larger component of its potential energy by spending small portions of this energy flowing down a slight grada ...
