Task 4.4

Water's Role in a City




Bill Stowe is the CEO and General Manager of Des Moines Water Works


Water and water's role for people
Water holds an important role in everyone's lives, let alone cities. Unfortunately, the quality of water are deteriorating the water needs to be safe to drink. The process of water is becoming difficult. In places where rural and urban comes together, water quality is bad and that is where companies like the DMWW will come to use their latest technology to purify the water. Water being central in city of the future as well as the past, and will continue to be of such an important character. In America, drains and watersheds take up alot of space, most of them agricultural, in the future, more of them will become urbanized. They get water from surface water from Des Moines river, and engineering and science technology played a big part in providing people with clean water. Managing water in an island is getting more difficult with plant waste discharge, agriculture; urban, rural and suburban.
