Water supply treatment sustainability of Semambu Water Treatment Plant (WTP) - a water footprint approach

The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has long been used to assess the impact of products or services to the environment however recently Water Footprint Assessment (WFA) has been introduced. In this study, the assessment by using Water Footprint (WF) approach was conducted to assess water consumption wit...

Sanitary engineering The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has long been used to assess the impact of products or services to the environment however recently Water Footprint Assessment (WFA) has been introduced. In this study, the assessment by using Water Footprint (WF) approach was conducted to assess water consumption within the water supply treatment process (WSTP) services of Semambu Water Treatment Plant (WTP).

However, the pattern of rainfall intensity from the monsoonal changes was not a crucial influenced factor to the total amount of WF per year. As a conclusion, if the value of WF per year keeps increasing due to unregulated development in addition to the occurrences of climate changing, the intake river water will be inadequate and hence may lead to water scarcity.
