Many industries are very highly regulated when it comes to the disposal of liquid matter. Over and above that, it falls to decision-makers to choose the most effective method to treat their wastewater, in order to be most time and cost efficient while satisfying the regulators. If you're looking for one of the best ways to treat the sludge contained within your wastewater product, why should you consider a waste water system known as dissolved air flotation?

If you're genuinely concerned about the human race's impact on the planet, you may want to go above and beyond recycling and reducing your carbon footprint. Those things minimise your personal contribution to the degradation of the environment — but have you considered a career that actively repairs and saves it? In Australia, studying and working in bush regeneration allows you to be a part of real, practical and positive change.

An increasing number of Australians are installing rainwater collection systems to provide their own water supply. This may be out of necessity in a rural or remote area that has no municipal water supply. Or it may because on the ever-increasing cost of water and the desire to be more self-sufficient. Unfortunately, recent weather patterns have made rainwater a scarce commodity, with many parts of the country receiving very low amounts of seasonal rain or enduring many months with no significant rainfall.

Summer is the time of year where the sun shines a lot more, the temperatures go up and maybe a little summer rain hits as well. Outdoor activities for you and your loved ones become a mainstay as you find various things to do in the warm, enjoyable weather. With the change in season, your home needs to be prepared to provide a conducive environment for the new season. Here are a few ideas to get you started for the summer.

If you intend to construct a building, it's important to be aware of the environmental impact the construction process may have and to take steps to minimise the damage your activities cause to the environment. Here are two ways to do this. Implement erosion and sediment control measures Eroded soil particles, small rocks, rubbish and silt that are present on a building plot can be loosened and moved around by construction work.

By using solar panels, you can convert the sun's light into solar power. The fact that this kind of energy is renewable makes it very affordable both for households and business premises. The only thing you require for this is the right solar panel installation and the sun's natural light. When the plate's material absorbs the sun's light, the solar energy knocks out electrons allowing them to flow and produce electricity.

Winter is well and truly over in most parts of Australia and the fire season has made an early appearance. In many parts of the country, the unseasonably hot spring weather coupled with minimal rainfall has created prime conditions for bushfires. This risk isn't limited to rural areas, with many urban centres having already dealt with unusual and destructive fires this spring. Bushfire preparation is an important task when it comes to home safety and protecting your family.
