Current Technologist Challenges and Achievements: What Do You Think?
INTRODUCTION
Now days, engineering technology influence for every aspect of life. Most of human
labor was replaced by machines for their tasks where improvement of sanitation systems for
safety and health, steam engine facilitated for mining, powered trains and ships also provided
energy to factories. However, engineering was recorded it impressive achievement of global
development with electricity and clean water, transportations, radio and television also
included medical tools.
There are a few challenges in order to get the impressive achievement in a different
aspect. For an example is access clean water, water is the abundant resources in earth which
is short supply in many regions where endangering some country economies, health, energy
production and food supply. In fact, around 8 out of 10 people living in rural areas are still
getting by without a decent source of drinkable water. That 663 million of people whose
everyday lives would be easier, safer and healthier if were not being denied their right to
clean water. Naturally water is widely used for personal and for agriculture which must be
provided to maintain sustainability quality of life. Water quality plays a big role in keeping
someone healthy and clean, lack of clean water goes to poor sanitation which, exposes people
to range of life threatening illnesses including diarrhea which claims around 5000 children
die per day because of diarrhea diseases. Thus, there are a few ways of technologist
achievements to solve this current issue to get a quality and quantity of clean water. Which
access to clean water can improves a student education, health, hunger and poverty.
CHALLENGES
There are some challenges that are needs to get through to get a quality and quantity of
clean water. Firstly is, a global demand for fresh water which the agricultural sector make use
of most of the freshwater sources across a globe influenced by a population growth,
urbanization, and energy security policies is largely influenced in demands of global water.
Due to growing demands from manufacturing, thermal electricity generation and domestic
use a global water demand is projected to increase by 55%, on 2050 (UNESCO, 2017).
Next, is related on a human health, unsafe water is responsible on affected to human life.
Clean water plays a big role keeping human healthy and clean. Lack of clean water will
provide in adequate sanitation which lead to poor sanitation can cause illnesses including
diarrhea. (UNESCO, 2017) said that 79% of wastewater are flows back into the ecosystem
without being treated of reused. Limiting the disposal of untreated wastewater into nature not
only saves lives and help advance sustainable growth it also can help a strengthens healthy of
an ecosystem.
Other than that, a population growth is one of the challenges which estimates indicate that
half of the world population will be suffering water shortage by 2030. The world’s population
is growing about 80 million people per year (USCB, 2016) and predicted about 9.1 billion by
2050. In addition, it is reduced the availability of clean water resources in certain region.
Increasing of humans will increasing demand for water needed with the decreasing supply,
which make conservation more important now than ever. There is a several ways that can be
used to conserve water such as, use less water while washing dishes, turn the water off while
brushing teeth and use a pool cover to reduce evaporation.
Last but not least, climate change also plays a big role an access a clean water where
causes various changes in water supply resources which leads to pollution and other
problems. However, increasing of temperature drastically cause melting glacial ice at an
unexpected level
ACHIEVEMENTS
There are a few achievements of water technologies that have been developed to get a
quality and quantity of clean water which are plans to identify, treat and distribute also
monitor the supply of water. The useful of water interventions in terms of the quality and
quantity supplied was evaluated by epidemiological studies. With the current growth rates of
global agricultural water demand are untenable, the sector will need to increase its water use
efficiency by reducing water losses and, most importantly, increase crop productivity with
respect to water. An advanced technology enhanced effectively provide crops with water,
such as “drip irrigation,” can substantially reduce agricultural water demand. In Jordan
country, have reduced water use substantially with drip technology.
However, to increase of water safety, water can be treated or analysed their quality at the
source through a process of filtration of disinfection. A piped water supply with high quality
piped water which that safe and continuously available was the largest health effects to create
the improvement of water treatment technologies. In addition, filter also provide safe storage
such as, ceramic filters which related with a large reduction of any disease. Other than that,
technologist developed a water treatment to get the clean water for example is nanofiltration,
desalination, filtering, settling and reverse osmosis. For example, in Middle east country was
used desalination technology (reverse osmosis) to provide clean water for it needs.
Now days, a new technology with great potential for saving million lives was developed
and it is called a life straw which a small cigar shaped tube packed with a filtration system
used to purify water from potential pathogens. it is contained carbons to filter out pollutants
and kill bacteria. This technology has a positive impact across a globe on under privileged
demographics.
Other than that, an innovative systems Life sack was developed as solar water purification
device can be used as multifunctional like a storage for grains or snacks also can be used as a
backpack for quick and easy movement which can carries up about 20 litres of water. This
sack used a technology that contained UV-A-radiation and thermal bag treatment process to
kill microorganisms and bacteria in water which is solar water disinfection technology.
CONCLUSION
It can be concluded, that technology was being developed to enhanced treatment of unsafe
water and sewage so that water can be used for any purposes. Clean water could even
resupply aquifers. But very effective purification methods and rigorous safeguards are
necessary to maintain the safety of water. Various technology approaches may be helpful in
the current issues, such as nanofiltration membranes that can be designed to remove specific
pollutants while allowing important nutrients to pass through. Other than that, Nanocarbon
tube membranes was designed for analytical detection of contaminants in water samples
which can deplete most of water contaminants including turbidity, bacteria, oil and organic
contaminants. Thus, the technological solutions of water problems must be implemented with
the systems that followed each of criteria to get a quality of water it self which is based on its
sustainability, health and safety.
