Water Recycling

Water is the source of life.

Without water life cannot exist.

Today’s society uses water once and then disposes of it.

We have for centuries just wasted water through abstraction and irrigation as well as that used by households and industry. By doing this we have degraded both the land and watercourses to the detriment of millions of people that have been displaced due to the lack of water.

Can we continue along this path into the future?

We believe that we cannot.

With the technology available today it is possible to recycle practically every drop of water and reuse it for household use.

We believe that this constant flow of recycled water is used primarily to supply the water for our lines.

However once the lines are full this constant input can and may be used for other purposes.

Major cities have extensive public transport infrastructure that extends considerable distances to commuters who live in towns sometimes 100 kilometres or more in the country. If these lines are replaced with Shuttle lines we can use this water to good effect.

Although we require the water within our system to be potable it can also use grey water and or partially treated sewerage.

Introduced in the city from treatment works no water is pumped to the ocean or back to the river system it was taken from.

This water can be partially treated before insertion to separate transportation lines that run directly to the country and ultimately beyond by further lines to a point where it is decanted out of the line.

The Petal apparatus used to propel the Shuttle to the country is removed and thoroughly sterilized before returning to the city. If this should be impractical we rotate the clean potable propulsion unit with the contaminated one that has been washed down so both are kept separate and are returned to their individual start point by piggy backing them on the Shuttle for the return journey.

This satisfies the hygiene standards so no contaminated water has any chance of polluting the potable water lines.

It is assumed that eventually all piped water will be of household quality and fit to drink.

Decanted water is then either stocked in pondage, is pumped or channelled to areas of land that are used to grow feed for stock. All decanted water is done at the highest point and allowed to gravity feed acreage for stock or agriculture. Mature feed is harvested and stockpiled for use in drought conditions by baling and stacking in weatherproof buildings.

Additionally the water is used to grow feed in fattening paddocks which can be rented and used by farmers during drought periods and then the stock is returned to the farm or sold on to market as need requires. Any form of agriculture may be carried out provided the water is free of harmful chemicals and bacteria.

Water that is contaminated may be pumped to ponds and allowed to pass through wetland areas before use to remove any heavy metals or chemicals. Sunlight will kill most bacteria.

Water passed through wetland allows the plant life to use the noxious elements before it passes on to irrigation of crops and the naturally cleaned subsurface water is able to find its way into a river or catchment area.

All the lines are capable of being tapped for fire fighting defence as all lines automatically replace draw off rates.

As lines are laid depending on need the sections are standard fitted with fire hydrants spaced as need requires or as per section distance

It is assumed that these would be equivalent to say a 6-inch/150mm or 4 inch/100mm fire hydrant.

The return line can carry household drinking water from contour water farms.

If there is sufficient clean water available to be introduced to the line it can be pumped to the next town or alternately the return line takes clean country water and pumps it back to the city creating a circulation of water to the country and back to the city. The commuter in effect could go home from the city propelled by partially treated water and return to the city on a line that carries potable water that can be accessed by the general population when decanted in the city for household use. Over a period of time the water may be utilised further and further out into the country transforming it into a green healthy ecosystem that is unaffected by drought.

This effectively means that river systems continue to flow naturally to the ocean and the water we use daily is returned to the land and is totally recycled. Eventually of course we have more water harnessed as we no longer use it once and throw it away.

Over generations the effect would be that we retain far more water on the land and as we do so we drop the ocean levels as we no longer empty our used water into it. The natural water recycling that happens within the worlds climatic systems through evaporation from oceans to be returned to the land as rainfall will continue but we no longer waste our domestic water supply as we return it to the land or rivers as wanted or needed. The effect of this is will be that we can totally eradicate drought conditions as we would always have a surplus of clean clear drinking water.

Contour water farms

The conservation of water when there is abundance

There are vast tracts of land that receive at times large volumes of rain. Many of these tracts of land because they were deforested now only support meagre grass feed.

The removal of the forests in the past has caused erosion and the soils have lost their nutrients because of water leaching out the nutrients every time it rains.

By paralleling or mimicking the terrain to river flows barren land is reformed and transformed into many varied shape and depth contour dams that connect to each other cloning the natural river but some distance above and away from the rivers edge. During heavy rain these contour dams will hold back water and the excess is allowed to overflow into the river system below via natural watercourse tributaries.

Having hundreds of thousands of contour dam farms means that this held water can be used to return water back to the city via a public transport line.

This complements and completes a circuit where partially treated water is pumped to growing farms and clean water is pumped back to the city from contour water farms.

As they would be constructed on the poorest areas of land where the topsoil and subsoil is thin this means that the least productive land is changed into a dam.

These contour dams are cloning the natural river courses and are not intended to stop the natural flow of the river. In many cases the flow of the artificial dams and connections may well be directed to the main river flow that is then tapped downstream as a natural flow.

The objective is to slow and gather the excess water flow without interfering with the natural river systems ecology.

The current method of drowning river valleys where the best concentration of topsoil is maintained for crops is removed. The poorest degraded land is used for water retention and correctly implemented will in the long term improve the surrounding land. By replanting the denuded landscape that through erosion has become valueless the improvement will allow more stock to use less land that has better feed.

The environmental improvement allows for aquaculture and agriculture where there was none.

It’s our business to have unlimited clean clear drinking water available for everyone.
