CHAPTER I
Introduction
A waterway is any navigable body of water. Broad distinctions are useful to avoid
ambiguity, and disambiguation will be of varying importance depending on the nuance of
the equivalent word in other languages. A first distinction is necessary between maritime
shipping routes and waterways used by inland water craft. Oceanic shipping courses
cross seas and oceans, and a few lakes, where navigability is expected, and no building is
required, but to supply the draft for deep-sea shipping to approach seaports channels, or
to supply a brief cut over an isthmus; this is often the work of dispatch canals. Provide a
short cut across an isthmus; this is the function of ship canals. Dredged channels in the
sea are not usually described as waterways. There is an exception to this initial
distinction, essentially for legal purposes, see under international waters.
Water is one of the world’s most valuable resources, yet it is under constant threat due to
climate change and resulting drought, explosive population growth, and waste. One of the
most promising efforts to stem the global water crisis is industrial and municipal water
reclamation and reuse. The Water reuse Association defines reused, recycled, or
reclaimed water as “water that is used more than one time before it passes back into the
natural water cycle.” Thus, water recycling is the reuse of treated wastewater for
beneficial purposes such as agricultural and landscape irrigation, industrial processes,
toilet flushing, or replenishing a groundwater basin (referred to as groundwater recharge).
Water reuse allows communities to become less dependent on groundwater and surface
water sources and can decrease the diversion of water from sensitive ecosystems.
Additionally, water reuse may reduce the nutrient loads from wastewater discharges into
waterways, thereby reducing and preventing pollution. This ‘new’ water source may also
be used to replenish overdrawn water sources and rejuvenate or reestablish those
previously destroyed. The objective of the present paper is to give insight into the
appropriate technology for treatment of wastewater. The paper discusses sustainable
wastewater treatment systems in the context of urban areas of the developing world. The
paper concludes that, “Since the urban areas of many developing countries are growing
rapidly, ecological sanitation systems must be implemented that are sustainable and have
the ability to adapt and grow with the community’s sanitation needs.” In order to
determine the appropriate treatment system, the developer must consider the area’s
climate, topography, and socioeconomic factors. Despite modern technological advances
in air and ground transportation, inland waterways continue to play a vital role and, in
many areas, to grow substantially. This article traces the history of canal building from
the earliest times to the present day and describes both the constructional and operational
engineering techniques used and the major inland waterways and networks throughout
the world.

Unsound post-consumer disposal is the primary pathway of plastic into the ecosystem.
One way of addressing this problem is through the establishment of a circular economy
for plastic. Much of the unsound disposal comes from economically disadvantaged

waste plastic abatement strategies must be targeted to reduce, reuse, and recycle plastic
waste onsite at the local level, initiating a circular economy appropriate for infrastructure
limited regions. Technologies for recycling plastic must be low cost, economically viable,
socially acceptable, and not adversely impact the environment, and also produce a
product that has a ready local market. This is critical because unless proposed solutions
are also economically viable and socially appropriate, they are unlikely to be successful,
In recent years, there has been a tremendous increase in work that focuses on the amount
and types of waste entering the marine environment from multiple geographies around
the world. To date, however, there are few reports about the scale of waste entering the
coastal and oceanic waters around Africa. To address this knowledge gap, existing
information was collated on waste mismanagement that can become marine debris in
Africa at the continental scale. This paper focuses on identifying sources and seeking
solutions to waste mismanagement. Stories are shared about opportunities that have
arisen and solutions that are taking place in several countries around Africa. Finally,
impediments to success are discussed and sectors are described where investments can be

recent decades across global oceans1. Also, massive plastic production and usage have
accumulated plastic waste of 4.8-12.7 million metric tons (MMT) annually2, posing a
serious threat to marine ecosystem and beach aesthetics3. Recently, production and usage
of plastic in India have increased manifold. Nearly 8 million tons of plastic products is
being used annually, generating about 1.5 million tons of plastic waste with less than a
quarter of it being collected and treated4. Marine litter originating from untreated urban
sewage, tourism, fishing, ports and other activities usually finds its way to the coast
through rivers, creeks and waterways. Hence, it becomes necessary to quantify the
amount of solid waste that contributes towards polluting the coastal environment.
Usually, after a spell of heavy rains, flooding of waterways causes huge amounts of
garbage to pile up along the coastline. As a part of the coastal cleanup programmed under
the aegis of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission) campaign, an attempt was
made to quantitatively and qualitatively assess the litter reaching Chennai beaches, so
that the on-going management practices can be suitably adapted. (Umakanta Pradhan,

More than 100 million metric tons of polyethylene are produced annually–most of it is
used for making plastic bottles and shopping bags. Although recyclable, much of the
plastic waste ends up in waterways where it floats out to sea. Polyethylene is less dense
than seawater and has a very long persistence in the environment. Due to natural ocean
convection currents, the polyethylene waste accumulates along with other floating marine
debris (FMD) into ocean gyers, which concentrate the waste into masses extending over
of thousands of square kilometers in the middle of the oceans. The environmental impact
of these oceanic waste dumps is widely recognized, but the task of cleaning them up

crude oil. As with any hydrocarbon, it may be burned to generate heat for making steam
in a power plant. It has been proposed that the FMD be collected and taken to land-based
power plants to be burned as a supplement to imported diesel fuel. The cost to collect, dry
and shred the floating matter into a form suitable for transport to be introduced into a
boiler is not justifiable. Furthermore, besides producing lots of CO2s, combustion in air
generates nitrous oxides, sulfur oxides and particulates. Additionally, there is practically
no way to control the makeup of the material being burned, so stack gasses must be
scrubbed to remove toxins and heavy metals. When all is said and done, any form of
incineration for making electricity is not attractive compared with projects for making
green energy, like solar panels and wind-turbines. A radically different approach is
proposed here that employs a technology that extracts hydrogen from hydrocarbons,
called H2HTM. The net reaction involves the partial electrochemical oxidation of

Municipal solid waste in the developing world is often improperly disposed of in dumps
near slums or simply discarded along the roadside in rural villages. This waste,
particularly plastic, is a serious environmental and health concern for the communities in
those regions. Lack of infrastructure, capital, and governmental policies contributes to the

functioning of a wide range of products and processes. They are increasingly appearing in
consumer products, including sun creams, socks and outdoor paints, resulting in the
potential for direct access of nanomaterials (NMs) into wastewater and the environment.
As such, they could be considered as the ultimate disparate source, with multiple
products and multiple routes into the environment, as well as numerous transformation
pathways, such that the final form may bear little resemblance to the initially produced
form. NMs thus represent a significant governance and regulatory challenge, for a
number of reasons, related to their small size, which makes detection challenging,

In the UK, Ireland and Europe generally, much attention has been devoted to
understanding how the agri-food sector has leveraged disproportionate focus and support
through its influence in the policymaking area. What has received less focus is how
power is distributed within the agriculture sector, i.e., why/how some agricultural
industries are more ‘successful’ or receive more focus than others, and what this means
for policy. Researchers typically treat ‘farmers’ as a monolith, for example, focusing on
the power of the ‘farming lobby’ versus that of other interest groups such as
environmentalists. This tells us only part of the picture; power distributions within the
agriculture industry itself also have implications for policy. Using empirical qualitative
research (interviews, focus groups) conducted on the island of Ireland, this paper shows
how some agri-food sectors (e.g., dairy) hold more power than others meaning they can
resist important regulation such as water pollution initiatives. This renders such
regulation ineffective. Meanwhile, other sectors (e.g., beef and sheep) are left out of the
conversation, which compromises potential policy solutions. It argues that for future
degradation and support the resilience of the ecosystems upon which food production
depends, agri-food system governance must become more equitable and nuanced,
allowing for tangible consideration of the challenges that different agriculture sectors
Incineration of plastic waste in an open field is a major source of air pollution. Most of
the times, the Municipal Solid Waste containing about 12% of plastics is burnt, releasing
toxic gases like Dioxins, Furans, Mercury and Polychlorinated Biphenyls into the
atmosphere. Further, burning of Poly Vinyl Chloride liberates hazardous halogens and
pollutes air, the impact of which is climate change. The toxic substances thus released are

that industrial pollution of rivers emerged as a subject of considerable public debate in
Russia in the 1880s and the enforcement of water protection laws grew stricter towards
the end of the Empire. However, the vagueness of the legislation and the lack of clear
quality standards opened the way for contingency and arbitrariness in the persecution of
violators. This persecution did not lead to the reduction of pollution in the imperial

Plastic pollution is destroying our natural environment and harming the poorest people on
the planet. For every person born since the 1950s, one ton of plastic has been produced
and less than a tenth of this has been recycled. Around half the amount of plastic waste
we produce globally is packaging that is used just once. This report describes the
environmental destruction, sickness, mortality, and damage to livelihoods that the plastic
pollution crisis is causing. It outlines the problem – namely the huge recent increase in
the production and distribution of single-use plastics, and its expansion across the globe
to countries lacking the capacity to collect, manage and recycle waste. And it spells out
the solutions. Current trajectories point to increased illness and unnecessary deaths,
further harm to livelihoods and greater destruction of our environment. But it doesn’t
have to be this way. In this report we outline the roles and responsibilities of four groups
we believe to be key to tackling the plastic pollution crisis: multinational consumer goods
companies who drive the production of single-use plastic packaging, and currently do
little to collect and sustainably manage the waste they have created; developed country
governments who have enabled and incentivized a ‘throwaway’ culture and whose
response to the crisis in developing countries has so far been weak; developing country
governments whose citizens are the most severely impacted by the crisis; citizens who
can show that there is an overwhelming demand for change. (Williams, 2019)

whether fecal coliforms accumulate during the winter to concentrations that would impair
river water quality. Samples were collected from municipal wastewater outfalls along the
river, as well as upstream and downstream of each outfall during the winter, when
disinfection is not practiced, and during the summer, when disinfection is practiced.
During both seasons, fecal coliform concentrations reached 2000–5000 CFU/100 mL,
nearly an order of magnitude higher than levels targeted for the river to achieve primary
contact recreational uses. During the summer, wastewater effluents were not significant
contributors to fecal coliform loadings to the river. During the winter, fecal coliform
accumulated along the river predominantly due to loadings from successive wastewater
outfalls. In addition to the exceedance of fecal coliform criteria within the river, the
accumulation of wastewater-derived fecal coliform along the river during the winter
season suggests that wastewater outfalls may contribute elevated loads of pathogens to
the commercial shellfish operations occurring at the mouth of the river. Reductions in
and wastewater outfalls to estimate seepage, dilution between wastewater outfalls was
estimated, along with the percentage of the river deriving from wastewater outfalls. After
accounting for dilution, the residual reductions in fecal coliform concentrations observed
between outfalls were attributed to actual fecal coliform removal. The estimated rate of
removal of 1.52 d−1 was significantly higher than die-off rates determined by previous
To deal with the devastating impact of water pollution, the quality of water distributed
set of water quality measurements. Existing water monitoring systems, which are
proposed in the literature, exhibit a set of drawbacks including the expensive cost and
complexity of deployment, the inaccurate localization of water contamination zones, and
system. We propose in this paper a novel monitoring waterways’ pollution system that
combines the use of mobile wireless sensor networks and radio frequency identification
(RFID) systems. Thanks to the deployment of a set of fixed RFID tags on the waterways
banks, the proposed system allows mobile sensors to accurately locate the positions of the
contaminated water zones. It also allows storing pollution, monitoring, and sensor
management-related data in the deployed tags. The proposed wireless sensor network
