2 Economical development Income increase High energy consumption High material consumption Lifestyle change Diet change Etc. Urbanization High-rise buildings Heavy traffic and highway Dense population Waste Production Water consumption Traffic accident Air pollution and traffic jam Energy shortage Good job opportunities and higher income Housing problems Large energy, material, goods, and water demandurban-rural problem 2

3 Rapid development of urban area Increase commercial and domestic water use Increase of population Increase domestic water use Change of lifestyle Increase domestic water use per capita (300 liter/p) Inadequate wastewater treatment Deterioration of water environment Small amount of water recharge to groundwater Urban inundation and groundwater table decrease Overuse of groundwater Groundwater table decrease and ground subsidence Stealing water and illegal use of water 3

4 Annual rainfall and water availability Annual rainfall (mm year -1 ) per capita (m 3 year -1 capita -1 ) Canada New Zealand Sweden Australia Indonesia USA WORLD Austria Switzerland The Philippines JAPAN France Spain Italy China Iran India Thailand Romania UK Annual rainfall per capita Available water resource per capita Modified from the source: Japan International Cooperate Agency 4

13 Developed countries apply energy-intensive technologies to keep urban water environment clean, however, such approach may not be appropriate for sustainable water environment management (modified from Wagner, Ohgaki and Zehnder et al. in Ambio) Design, approval of the planning and the lay out of the piping and sewer networks is time consuming and swallows about 80% of the total investment costs. (Peter Wilderer) Estimating the cost of worldwide implementation of centralized system, it become evident that the capacity of global money market would not be sufficient to cover the need for investment capital. (Peter Wilderer) However, in old time, the centralized system is the only choice since treatment technology was not available in a small scale Proposal of decentralize water management system 13

14 Advantages Easy for water reuse No need for pipeline to deliver wastewater Easy for groundwater recharge Relatively small investment for each unit Disadvantages Difficult to reuse water Need a small-footprint, high efficiency, easy maintenance process Maintenance problem Big investment 14

16 Decentralized water system: example of single unit Single house ~ large community Water purification Water supply Wastewater Water reuse Non-permeable layer (pavement, buildings etc) Rain fall Wastewater treatment Energy Water use Groundwater Water recharge MBR: Membrane bioreactor 16

17 Utilizing sewer and water supply systems Use groundwater as a stock Community can decide treatment method Water Management Unit River Lake 17

18 Water Management Unit Community-based management Utilizing natural system River pond Lake 18

19 Decentralized water management system (ultimate status) Urban Heat Control Groundwater utilization Restoration of of river Risk management Better storm water ctrl Heat management Rain Water treatment purification purification River/lake recharge Water system recharge recharge groundwater groundwater Urban water stock Groundwater flow analysis 19 19

20 Treating wastewater to produce extremely clean water for groundwater recharge Treating groundwater to produce drinkable-quality water Requirements for the technology Easy to maintain Low capital cost Safety of treated water Membrane technology 20

27 Decentralized water management system (combined with water reuse system) potentially attractive for developing Asian cities Asian cities need to develop new type of relationship with rural area Development needs time. However, we experience it much faster than western countries. 27
