The intensifying global climate change is causing water shortages in Australia. According to the latest world economic forum report, a dozen cities and towns in Australia are drawing near “Day Zero” when the last drinking water source runs dry. 

The solution to this problem would invest in a water treatment system that can recycle water and remove all contaminants to make it fit for human consumption. Here we have discussed why we need to invest in water treatment in Australia.

Decontaminate Water

Human activities on land affect the quality of water around. According to a leading report, they considered the King River in Tassie the most polluted river in Australia.  They used the river as a dumping ground by a nearby copper mine for 70 years. The proximity of human settlements near the river leads to water contamination making the water unfit for human consumption.

Some common contaminants in water are pesticides, human and animal drugs, metals, toxins produced by bacteria, salts, bleach, and nitrogen. You need to invest in a water treatment plant in Australia to decontaminate water and make it potable.

Disinfect Water

Water supports the growth of many types of microorganisms. Australia is troubled by the burden of waterborne diseases for several years. According to a regional World Health Organization report, 479,632cases of waterborne diseases caused by the Norovirus were registered in Australia in 2010.

We find many infectious microorganisms that make humans sick in water. Some harmful microorganisms that can be found in natural resources of water are bacteria (Salmonella, Vibrio, Escherichia Coli, and Shigella), protozoans (Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and Entamoeba), and viruses (rotaviruses and Norwalk virus).

You need to invest in a high-quality water treatment system that can kill all harmful microorganisms in water and make the water fit for human consumption.

Reduced Use of Chemicals

Traditional water treatment plants rely on the use of chemicals to make water fit for human consumption. According to the Water Treatment Australia experts, chlorine and chlorine dioxide are primarily used in water treatment plants in Australia and the over-world.  These chemicals are not safe for humans, and their traces in water can have ill-effects on human health.

You need to invest in water treatment systems that involve reduced use of chemicals to kill pathogens and disinfect water.

Reduced Use of Energy

Treating wastewater and converting it to the tertiary standard requires a significant amount of energy. According to the Water Services Association of Australia report, the total energy use in six Australian cities’ wastewater treatment is around 7.1 PJ/annum (2006-07).

The increased use of energy leads to global warming, which disturbs the life cycle and climate on earth.   Hence, you need to invest in a greener water treatment system that uses less energy to treat water and make it potable.

Efficient and Straightforward Water Treatment

The conventional water treatment plants have complex processes to treat water. This leads the government to invest heavily in building water treatment plants to ensure the supply of high-quality potable water for Australian residents. We need to look for simple and efficient water treatment technology that reduces the country’s water treatment expenditure.

To sum up, these are some reasons to invest in water treatment plants in Australia.
