INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Students are required to apply depth of knowledge acquired (DP1) to analyse and/or
evaluate the problem based on given case using specified knowledge profile of (WK4,
WK5, WK6 & WK7). Which comply with (DK7) comprehension - issue & approaches.
a) WK4 Engineering Fundamentals
b) WK4 Engineering Specialist
c) WK6 Engineering Design
d) WK7 Engineering Practice

2) Students are required to compare and/or assess the conflicting issues (technical,
engineering and etc.) and/or propose optimal solution to solve the problems. Involve a
limited range of stakeholders with differing needs (conflicting requirement) (DP6).

3) Discrete components of engineering systems and have consequences which are locally
important and not far-reaching. Students are required to develop or formulate relevant
processes and/or justify the selection of the treatments (DP7).

Please make sure you cite someone else ideas with proper citation and bibliography
references in making an argument, justification or deliberation when completing this task.

ASSIGNMENT QUESTION:

Water scarcity is currently confronted by most of the continent that threatening the stability and
balance of the ecosystem. Due to the limited freshwater resources; water desalination, recycling
and reclamation water are among the strategies to satisfy the need of water demand. Propose
suitable water resources for the strategy to shift from relying on freshwater and evaluate the
feasibility of your proposal.

a) Identify FIVE (5) sources of water that have the potential to be used as part of water
desalination, recycling and reclamation strategies.
(5 marks)

1) River
2) Lakes
3) Rainwater
4) Seawater
5) Groundwater

b) Select ONE (1) water source and discuss the FOUR (4) advantages and disadvantages
of your water selection based on societal and environmental contexts to solve the global
freshwater crisis.
(5 marks)

Seawater

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

Unaffected by changing factors Environmental implications

Sources are everywhere and limitless Make water infiltration more difficult

Safe and clean water Political concerns

Sufficient and enough for everyone Need higher cost
