  The highest waterfall in the world Angel Falls Angel Falls , located in Venezuela’s Canaima National Park , is the tallest uninterrupted waterfall in the world. With a staggering height of 979 meters (3,212 feet) and a continuous drop of 807 meters (2,648 feet) , it towers over any other waterfall on the planet, making it one of Earth’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Where Is It Located? Angel Falls is hidden deep within the Guayana Highlands of southeastern Venezuela, in a remote and dense jungle. It's part of the Churún River , which flows off the edge of a giant flat-topped mountain called Auyán-Tepui . These table mountains, or tepuis , are unique to the region and create dramatic landscapes unlike anywhere else in the world. Due to its isolated location, the falls are not easy to reach. Most visitors must take a flight followed by a river trip through the rainforest, adding to the sense of adventure and discovery. How Did It Get Its Name? The waterfall is named ...

 Turbidity Wastewater Turbidity in Wastewater: Why It Matters Turbidity is a key water quality parameter that indicates how clear or cloudy water is. In wastewater treatment , measuring and managing turbidity is essential for both environmental protection and regulatory compliance. 🌫️ What Is Turbidity? Turbidity is caused by suspended solids in water—tiny particles like clay, silt, organic matter, microorganisms, and industrial waste that scatter light. The higher the concentration of these particles, the murkier the water appears. Measured in NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) Not a direct measure of pollutants, but a strong indicator of water quality 💧 Why Turbidity Matters in Wastewater Indicator of Treatment Efficiency High turbidity in treated effluent can signal poor performance in filtration, sedimentation, or coagulation processes. Health and Environmental Risk Turbid water can: Harbor pathogens by protecting them from disinfection (e.g., chlorine, UV...

  Characterization of Dairy industry wastewater Characterization of Dairy Industry Wastewater The dairy industry is one of the most water-intensive sectors in the food processing industry. Water is used extensively in cleaning, processing, cooling, and sanitation. The wastewater generated from these operations is high in organic load and nutrients , making it essential to characterize the effluent before designing an effective treatment strategy. 🔍 Sources of Dairy Wastewater Dairy wastewater is generated from various operations, such as: Milk reception and spillage Equipment and floor washing Processing (pasteurization, homogenization, evaporation) Cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems Whey separation and cheese production Cooling water overflow 💧 Typical Characteristics of Dairy Wastewater Parameter Range Remarks pH 4.5 – 11 Varies with cleaning chemicals and fermentation Temperature 30 – 45°C Can be higher in hot cleaning discharges Biochemical Oxygen Dem...

  Kuwait reissues tenders for Az-Zour North and Al-Khairan projects Kuwait Reissues Tenders for Az-Zour North and Al-Khairan Projects Kuwait has reissued tenders for two major infrastructure projects — the Az-Zour North and Al-Khairan independent water and power projects (IWPPs) — as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen the country’s electricity and water production capacity. The move reflects Kuwait’s commitment to advancing its public-private partnership (PPP) agenda, which aims to attract both local and international investment into the country’s vital utilities sector. The projects are seen as strategic components of Kuwait’s Vision 2035, which focuses on transforming the nation into a regional commercial and financial hub by modernizing its infrastructure and diversifying energy sources. The Az-Zour North project , currently in its second phase, is expected to significantly expand power generation and desalination capabilities. Once completed, it will add hundreds of m...
