Introduction

Project we selected in part was concerning the water recycling in Sydney City with the volume of approximately 1230 mega litters of
water. The basic determination of this project was to provide the sufficient quantity of water to the needy people for the water. In this
part of paper we are going to debate the scope of paper and time management”. The core thing we will discuss the benefits of the
recycling and further use of this water. Homework of documents would be wanted for specific stakeholders. We will discuss the project
sustainability and optimization of the project and then we will go for the decision either we should adopt the project or not with project
objective.

Literature Review

The world health organization and other institutions have suggested global guidelines for the nontoxic reuse of water. Bacterial standards
and treatment have been introduced with varying water quality target to fit local circumstances health risk and affordability. It is
important to identify that universal application of bacterial standards for water quality valuation will not produce the similar risks from
bacterial pathogens in domestic wastewater everywhere the world. The consideration and kinds of pathogens in raw wastewater differs
from one region of the world to another depending on the existence in the communal (Gerba & Rose, 2003).When we have to take
decision about the project then we should know that all decisions are an estimate about the future, as complication figures upon
complexity, decision-makers must progressively trust on their judgment and intuition. Decision-making process for a composite situation
in a multipart environment in terms of resting the groundwork for understanding, decision-making, and discovering complex situations,
preparing for the decision process, discussing human preservative factors, and mechanisms for manipulating complex situations (Alex
Bennet, 2008).

This is not rare that Australia is a better research ground of water recycling process. Identified as most dry country with variable
environment. Australia gives some lesson to others countries to observing at wastewater management development get the benefits from
sources of water. Most waste water management practice were based on waste disposal to getting waters as well as ocean and domestic
waterways. Melbourne’s waste management plant is one of the largest water treatment plant based on creek based treatment plants where
the waste was used to moisten pasture for grazing animals.

Even after four decades, despite the invention of the significant technologies and development, the adoption and creation of nationwide
water recycling instructions and huge surge in the number of recycled water scheme below mentioned conclusion are still acceptable:

 Holding prices at low level artificially, an increase in drinking water prices to enable recycled water to compete.
 To raise the consciousness on benefits of recycled water, introduction stakeholders and community program is necessary.
 Research project covering the social, environmental and public health aspect of recycled water to engender and build community
confidence.

Some important factors have been changed in last 40 years

o In the major urban areas of Australia situated on coast, the population increased by 50%;
o In living history the most saver drought;
o Significant change in attitude and community awareness toward water recycling; over the last 10 years the surveys has shown
that there is strong community support for the recycled water for myriad non drinking purposes.

In existing situation the maximum of the eastern states of Australia nowadays away from deficiency, the sense of insistence has dissolute.
Despite this, the society has accepted most of non-potable water recycling initiative and water conservation. For most new developments
or redevelopment of prevailing urban areas water recycling has become mainstream. To permit the use of dispersed solutions such as
rain water tanks and grey water recycling in urban areas. (Young, 2011)

Field development project planning is very important because it includes critical aspects, regarding the particular difficulties special for
offshore projects and high investment. Studies need to be adjusted due to the unavailability of information during the initial phases
(Mezzomo, 2006).
Sustainability is an act of emerging projects in a way that the past project will not have slightly impact on future generation. Projects
are contributing significantly to give growth in the countries where they are being executed and have become highly globalized, special
for the local community of the countries. This practice will make sure that society will suffer less in terms of future generation. Project
sustainability leads to continue the project for the desired outcome, it may include financial, organizational and community
sustainability. Projects also pose challenges to the local government and community, sustainable development also being is a challenge
(Wenche Aarsetha, 2016). The main that is that how corporations, state bodies and others can execute and develop projects without
compromising the prosperity and the future of next generation and this is actual important. The most widely used definition of
sustainability is meeting the needs of the present without cooperating the needs of future groups. To ensure the sustainability government
is more and more concerned of their responsibility (Victor, 2006).

Empirical studies described that government required that companies executing projects should have some action plans, strategies and
performance indicator to follow the sustainability in host countries (Nannan Wang, 2014).Building projects adopted sustainability are
increasing and mostly consist of government projects that have long term social, economic and environmental impact. The project
manager role in construction industry is integrate sustainable design of building and provide proper use of building in operational use.
Project management for sustainable (building) projects deal with communication and cooperation between different parties who are part
of the project at different stages. The value of project management in gaining sustainable construction has just started to receive attention
from researchers.

Decision making has been around as long as leadership and management and perhaps longer. Decisions amateur completely in the area
of leader’s and managers. Now environment continues to become more complex in the increasingly inter connected world of the
21century. The influence of complexity has not been completely assessed or understood. Research in complexity science is a
comparatively early ground that has newly become of serious care to decision-makers, scholars, and organizational leaders (Alex Bennet,
2008). Knowledge is measured the capacity (actual and potential) to take real action. We use the term situation to mean any issue,
condition, problem, bounded or system opportunity that the decision maker trusts needs to be improved, changed, transformed, etc. We
understand this term to mean a multipart adaptive system. Decision making process have some important elements as, defining the issue
in a way that leads to thoughtful consideration, describing the objectives to be achieved, consider the alternative actions that can be
adopt to achieve the project objectives. Evaluation the adjustments among the options in terms of their availability to get the objectives
and estimating the each alternative to gain the objectives (Weaver, 2014).

By these decision making elements, effective decision support should seek to gain social values in decision making environment to
maintain and gain the legitimacy, credibility and salience. Quality decisions, mutual understanding and respect among the project stake
holders. While discussion the elements of decision making, need to elaborate few challenges. Human decision making has well
understood on group and individual level like: focus on easy quantification of risk, neglecting the uncontrollable risk and strategic use
of uncertainty. To overcome the barrier during decision-making different scenario base approaches may apply (Weaver, 2014).

Project optimization, finding an alternative with highest and most cost effective achievement under constraints. In simple maximizing
desired output and minimizing undesired part of the project. Performance optimization and project performance are personally related
(Pitagorsky, 2015). Seeing the key particular characteristics of the objective-function, manual procedures usually are satisfactory for the
optimization of a retrieval strategy although they need much time from the specialists involved and may not consider all the essential
scenarios in order to evade long times for projects planning. It is urgent to use the sources properly in today because time is important
and sources are limited.in other side undesired results may be met. Use of resources and evaluation of resources optimally can be use
with proper planning from start to end of the project and all of this expose the definition of project management. “Planning and
controlling of a process in order to meet project desired output in effective manner and in best possible way” (M. Hanefi CALP*1,
2018).The Main purpose of project management is to complete project in decided time period with desired quality and in minimum cost.
From mentioned definitions of project management, planning and controlling are the essential elements for the source of the project by
having significant effects. In planning and controlling of the project network analysis is one of the most widely used method. Sources
of a complex projects can be use in most effective way using network analysis that is modal illustration consists series and activities and
events. Network means schedule that happens from required events and activities to achieve the purpose of a project program, and shows
the relations and connections between the activities and events (M. Hanefi CALP*1, 2018).

Methodologies of project management are not separated from sustainability incorporation pressures. Social and environmental issues
do not affect the current project management frameworks and so it has been discussed the need to develop indicators that are useable in
decision making to ensure the sustainability of the project (Carin Labuschagne, 2005).Literature review has increased gradually and the
main disclosures within it are well recognized. The condition is almost different about literature debating sustainability in a project
framework. In last ten years sustainability is a new topic in project literature review (Silvius & Schipper, 2014).Sustainability is one of
the major challenge that how we can we develop success, without creating the issues of future generation.

As a consequence of drastic change in the socio-economic atmosphere of the nations of world, the rate of national polices following the
system of sustainability has been increased.as per this situation, there is the need to appreciate the sustainability development.
Sustainable growth is the singular balance that exist between society, environment and economy (Stone, 2003). Further, it ensures a
stable and balanced economy that will increase yield in future project. It is a way of investing security and safety for the future of the
world as a whole and future of the nation. As per studies sustainability is an ongoing process which reduce waste of the project of
running project and even the project which have been achieved. Sustainability is the science of upcoming generation that fulfil the future
concerns and as well as present needs of the society. In simple words, it is the themes that steadily estimate that in as much as project
continues to receive from its surroundings, in near future a time would come where the material’s source will become irresponsive. To
avoid the time of irresponsiveness, the practice teaches the importance of regenerating a project (Klöpffer, 2002).
Extinction and Preservation

Due to the change in living communal, the global system is moving towards sustainability practices to achieve the desired outcome.
There is a requirement to move with this system of sustainability development, from the project management point of view special in
those areas that has to deal with the environment and society. In those project where project managers less concerned about the plant
conservation and building huge structure; there is no doubt that a time will come when the health of people will be at stake while the
will be dealing with these structures. If it will happen then nobody will be ready to occupy these structures. So, project management
need to operate in a way that no one will be at stake in surrounds of the operations (Okeniyi, 2013).

Degradation and the School of Poverty thought

Sustainability pursues to aggressively include the people in the atmosphere in order to accomplish sustainable development; in the
presence of environmental filth and poverty would fail. Sustainable development runs with human capital and all of those gears that can
be discuss with in the project environment. From the start of the discussion it can be sketched that the welfare of the project society and
health of a project environment is very critical when it is concerned with sustainability. There is no doubt that the face of poverty the
common partnership between the sustainable project manager and the social stakeholders would fail. Because in poverty face the
stakeholders may get involve in those activities which are unsustainable for their survival. The argument of this school of thoughts is
based on the state of the Project. Project Manager should have the look for other replacements to attain the success in project completion
rather than degenerative of time on sustainability practice (Ahsan, 2012 ).
The pressures from climate change, population growth and urbanization will endure and the demand of recycled water will surge with
the passage of time. From the below researches we will have great exposure and data to work on a new system that will protect the
environment (Young, 2011).

Scheme Capacity ML /Anum % of wastewater recycled %Potable water substitution Description


Location
Year of Implementation
Wollongong Recycled 460 2.5% 100% The above system was further prolonged
Water Scheme Stage 2 to supply water to the Port
Illawarra NSW Kembla Coal Terminal resulting in further
dropping the demand on the
drinking water supply

St Mary’s Replacement 18,000 100% A recycled water plant at St Marys and a


Flows Scheme supply pipeline will
St Marys, Sydney swap 18 GL of water that would have
been free from dams for
environmental movement purposes.
2010
This a regional recycling plant that
receives preserved waste from three
inland wastewater treatment plants and is
further purified using
ultrafiltration and opposite osmosis
technology. The highly treated
recycled water, which is similar in quality
to drinking water, is then
impelled to Penrith. It is released into the
Hawkesbury-Nepean River
below Penrith Weir.
In coming years water recycling schemes will be like:

 More actual in relieving water imported to cities at either the household or regional level.
 With urban planning better integrated.
 More energy efficient.

Conclusion

Before any release with in environment, industries will manage water with in grounds or some may be allow for multiple use of water.
From wastewater there will be high value products like Phosphorus, Nitrogen, Potassium and other product chemicals. The most
interesting thing that the term wastewater treatment plans may be replaced with energy recovery plants and water management (Young,
2011).

All of above discussion identified that project sustainability in project management is present for a long time but its importance increased
now and it ranges between three elements environment, economy and society.it is discussed that environment effects the project by
depreciation effect. Project would be rated low in the absence of sustainability practices, where other projects have applied these
practices.
