Water Resource Management
What is Water Resource Management? Water resource management is the activity of
planning, developing, distributing and managing the optimum use of water resources.
Much efforts in water resource management is
directed at optimizing the use of water and in minimizing the environmental impact of water use on the natural environment.

Water Scarcity & Water Security
What is water scarcity?
- Simply stated, water scarcity is either the lack of enough water or the lack of access to clean, safe water.
- Water scarcity already affects every continent. Around
1.2 billion people, or almost one-fifth of the world's population, live in areas of physical scarcity, and 500 million people are approaching this situation.
Water Scarcity & Water Security
There is a critical need to integrate water and environmental management, as provided for under the concept of integrated water resource management.
Water security may be the biggest emerging water problem across North America, South America, & the Caribbean region.
Latin American and Caribbean countries face many of the same problems as countries with chronic fresh water shortages. Less than 20 percent have access to adequate sanitation systems.
Water Scarcity & Water Security
In the 20th century the world population tripled - while water use multiplied sixfold.

What Can We Do?
- Sustainability and Water Reuse The world has entered into a new era
where sustainability is the main factor to encounter the challenges of depletion of our water resource reserves.
Specialized electrocoagulation is a sustainable water treatment solution to address issues with water quality, water security and water scarcity.
Specialized Electrocoagulation
What is Specialized Electrocoagulation?
Specialized Electrocoagulation is an emerging yet proven technology that combines the functions and advantages of conventional coagulation, flotation, and electrochemistry in water and wastewater treatment.

- How can this technology be used in times of water scarcity?
The demand for quality drinking water quality is
increasing globally and environmental regulations regarding waste water discharge are becoming increasingly stringent.
Specialized electrocoagulation technology can be used to provide an environmentally friendly, cost effective solution for both industrial water reuse, drinking water & waste water treatment.
Specialized Electrocoagulation
Why is electrocoagulation important to our future?
- The need for non chemical waste water reuse options for agricultural, urban, environmental, recreational, and usage will continue to be critical for global sustainability efforts to combat water scarcity.
- Continued social acceptance and the adoption of innovative technology solutions by regulatory agencies will help continue purposeful progress towards decreased water consumption and the use of waste water as a resource.
Specialized Electrocoagulation
Applications:- Industrial Waste/Process Water Reuse- Domestic Wastewater
- Drinking Water
Flow Rates: - Modular system design scalable up to 20,000 gpm
Specialized ElectrocoagulationFood/Beverage Case Study
Challenge A fish meat processing plant wanted to reduce their effluent discharge costs and eliminate
chemical cost in primary waste water treatment.
SolutionGenesis Water Technologies with its local partner provided engineering, and design of a electrocoagulation solution with prescreen and post solids separation that eliminated chemical usage in the primary clarification process.
The flocculated solids could be used as a valuable source of renewable energy. The independent laboratory analysis showed that the floc had a solids content of 42.3%, of which 29.7% was fat.
Benefits 70% reduction in discharge charges and potential to reuse water as well as utilizing solids
floc to create renewable energy to reduce power costs.
Specialized Electrocoagulation
Textile Case Study
Challenge A textile company wanted to reuse the wastewater coming from their process and textile
dyeing operations to reduce their fresh water consumption costs and maintain compliance with increasingly stricter discharge regulations.
SolutionGenesis Water Technologies with its local partner provided engineering, and design of a electrocoagulation solution with prescreen and post solids separation, followed by membrane filtration treatment.
Benefits 75% reduction in discharge charges. Additional operating cost reductions were witnessed
from the reduction of fresh water consumption used in the textile washing and dyeing processes.
Specialized Electrocoagulation
Domestic Waste Water Case Study
Challenge A municipality wanted to optimize their current wastewater treatment process with the
addition of tertiary wastewater treatment to be reused for irrigation, and other domestic non potable client applications.
SolutionGenesis Water Technologies with its local partner provided engineering, and design of a electrocoagulation solution with prescreen and post filtration and chemical free disinfection.
Benefits Ability to reuse approximately 75-80% of secondary waste water for usage in irrigation
and other non potable applications. Using this treated water, reduced both the cost of supplying fresh water for these purposes and reduced discharge to the environment which reduced environmental impact.
