Leave no one Behind is the 2019 World Water Day theme and it is especially crucial in the African continent. The rights to clean drinking water must be reviewed from a holistic point of view, it’s not just treating the available fresh water for access, it’s about ensuring longevity of this clean water by maintaining what is already available hence the term Water is Water – Not Waste.
Some of the other topics discussed in this issue of our newsletter include:
The Hamburg Hesser Wastewater Plant – A case study of Germany’s Wastewater Treatment System
Wastewater or Waste Water? – A discussion on new and upcoming ways of treating Wastewater

Welcome to the first issue of The Water Review in 2019. This year we shall delve deeper into quite a number of themes with the aim of enriching your knowledge.
In this first issue we have gone broad with a wide range of topics touching on the importance of environmental awareness to how our habits can make or break every aspect of our daily lives. We have also featured some of the work we have done at the internationally awarded Britam Towers as well as how Biological Pest Control can help reduce soil and water pollution.

Reduce, Reuse & Recycle are the 3 R’s that underpin the creation, implementation and maintenance of a Circular Economy. Learn more about this and other topics such as the History of Water and the Importance of Our Seas and Oceans. Also engage with us on the serious topic of the effects deforestation is having on our environment and in-turn our lives.
Our project feature this month is an exciting one…We Are In Uganda!!!! Check that out and many more articles in our December/January 2018 Newsletter. Don’t forget to engage with us on our social media (find links in the newsletter). Have a wonderful Read!
Merry Christmas and Prosperous 2019 from the CESP Team!!
The September issue of the Water Review gives an overview of the inaugural training workshop; an introduction to HOMA as company, an introduction to the water foot print and what this means, the issue of Non- revenue water in Kenya as well as how accessibility of water can reduce the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.
Water quality monitoring is a key indicator of services provided to the consumer and more importantly has impacts on both health and the environment. It is for this reason that CESP ensures efficient management of water quality by providing wastewater testing, data analysis,
record keeping, reporting and suggestion of recommended actions in an effective manner so as to ensure compliance with NEMA.
WHAT DO WE TEST?
Water quality monitoring involves a series of frequent tests on parameters for both waste and treated water. These parameters include:
I. Bacteriological parameters that should be tested before selection and during operation of the supply because of their immediate and significant impacts on human health hence their frequent analysis.
II. Physicochemical parameters; even though they don’t have an immediate impact on human health they are important in giving a guide to the quality of water treated and distributed to the consumers.
III. Wastewater Parameters (Effluent Parameters): To determine the actual organic loading of a waste plant and to monitor the effluent to determine compliance with NEMA.
For both on-going and maintenance CESP projects there is:
I. Mandatory Analysis– this is done before the project moves to the subsequent stage and provides important factors for considerations that will help the engineering team to make informed decisions.
II. Recommended Analysis- this is done on advice or on-demand based on expected conditions of that specific stage and does not interfere with the subsequent stage unless there is need to.
Taking Precise Measurements is Important for our Testing Process
WHY IS ALL THIS NECESSARY?
Routine monitoring and evaluation of water quality is very vital:
I. It helps to curb environmental pollution especially in the aquatic ecosystems because of depletion of oxygen that can lead to death of some aquatic organisms.
II. Reduce risks on human health due to toxicity of substances such as heavy metals and residual chlorine from the wastewater plant effluents.
III. To ensure proper performance of your wastewater plant and ensure minimal maintenance expenses are incurred by the client due to sensitivity of some apparatus e.g. Reverse Osmosis Membranes to scaling.
IV. As it helps reduce the adverse effects on the clarity and colour of water without which its popularity for recreational use would decline

WHY CHOOSE CESP AS YOUR WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE GUY?!
Through our thorough and constant assessment of the water quality of your wastewater plant we provide for proactive troubleshooting of the plant as it’s a whole system that is interdependent on other systems.
CESP also ensures that we keep up with the ever changing technology and with our continuous research in emerging water monitoring techniques and the required water quality regulations we increase the efficiency of our treatment plants so as
to be in the forefront in wastewater management in the region and beyond.
This month, on the 20th and 21st of July 2018, we will be participating in the COINA Awards exhibition at the Carnivore Grounds. The Coina Awards ceremony is an annual function geared towards celebrating leading participants in the construction industry in Kenya. We will be showcasing our products during the exhibition. Be sure to check it out.
In this month’s issue, we discuss newer, smarter ways to manage the amount of water you spend; smart water metering as well as ways in which water is useful in agriculture such as irrigation.
