In daily city life, effects of humans drinking contaminated water, using contaminated
water in food preparation and process and also smoking tobacco leads to arsenic crisis.
Arsenic crisis then leads to water pollution where the point source of water pollution are
industrial facilities and municipal wastewater treatment plants whereas the non-point source
of water pollution are agricultural runoff, construction sites and others.

It is important to understand water requirements which are factors affecting per capita
consumption that includes city size, characteristics of population, climate, commerce,
industries, etc and the requirements based on water demand patterns that includes diurnal,
periodic, instant and etc. aside from that, water consumption quantity and water leakage
quantity can impact the water supply. Pumps and pumping machines are affected from
municipal and industrial needs, all with improved efficiencies designed to reduce power. All
of these affected the water and environment that begins with consideration of the need for
pure drinking water and management of liquid and solid water. These then affected the water
treatment process, ground water extraction and water distribution. Water distribution is used
to calculate the amount of water supply and readiness to be distributed with three general
methods which are gravity system, distribution reservoir and direct pressure.

Water distribution, only with the correct water treatment process of mostly
groundwater extraction due to the high supply requirements. Furthermore, sustainability is
harder for developing countries because there are requirements of water treatment that need
to be implemented into large developing countries that would need to have clean water that
are urgently required by the system. The key to good water distribution would be the
management of plumbing systems and fixtures, with consideration of risk management and
water loss control that are modern-more sustainable approaches to existing water systems.

In conclusion, the connection for a city would be, the need for water resources and
environmental engineering would be to manage the quality of good water point sources, with
adequate distribution for the population. Risk of pollution and water demand patterns needs
to be considered to ensure that all individuals would receive correct and adequate water
needs - especially for developing countries in a city level that are more prone to issues of
pollution and lack of loss control.
