com Byline: Christian Caryl; With Sudip Mazumdar In Rajasthan The forgotten virtues of Chinese foot pumps, buried aqueducts and other ancient water-supply technologies The people of Qara had written off their town’s buried assets. More than 1,500 years earlier, residents had dug stonelined aqueducts — qanats — deep below the arid ground. The water-supply system had been developed in Persia centuries before. But by the time Joshka Wessels arrived in Qara, some 60 miles northeast of Damascus, in 2004, its ancient qanats were in ruins. The Dutch-born anthropologist turned development worker found few takers for the hard, dangerous job of clearing the tunnels — until.

Water recycling debate brewing once more
San Diego Union Tribune – Oct 1, 2007
Low-end recycling is for irrigation and industrial use. Additional treatment, including reverse osmosis and ultraviolet filters, allows wastewater to be added to other supplies of drinking water. In San Diego, the mix would be held in a reservoir – hence the term “reservoir augmentation. ”Sometimes the process is called “indirect potable reuse” because it builds reserves of water that eventually will be piped to homes. Who uses recycled water in the United States?Tens of millions of people, because many lakes and rivers large enough to serve as municipal water sources also are used as wastewater drains. For example, about 220 wastewater plants are allowed to discharge into the Colorado River with less treatment than is required for reservoir augmentation.

The elevation of Castle Rock Towh Hall is 6,202, hardly an impressive figure in a state where the average mean elevation is 6,600. But from the office of utility director Ron Redd that elevation is crucial. Read is responsible for ensuring the water supply for the city, population 42,000–up from 18,000 just seven years ago. Located near the headwaters of Plum Creek, there’s little upstream for Castle Rock or, for that matter, most other communities in Denver’s South Metro area. Given that unyielding reality, Redd’s fundamental task is to defy gravity. Water must be made to flow uphill. As the old saying goes, water flows uphill to money, and Redd figures he’ll ultimately need $425 million to draw the volume of water he believes will be necessary when Castle Rock reaches its assumed build-out population of 104,000.
