Water Systems Operator Career Training Guide

Question: What companies are involved in the drinking water business in India? We are looking for successful entrepreneurs who have set up water distribution businesses in Indian cities. The water distribution system could be relatively small and serving only a small community (e.g. a tanker operator). We would like to analyze their business models and ideally invest in some of these businesses. We need names of operators along with contact details if possible.

Answer: Monsnato::: Monsanto plans to earn revenues of $420 million and net income of $63 million by 2008 from its water business in India and Mexico. Coca-Cola has its international label, Bon Aqua and Pepsi has its Aquafina line. TATA Projects the company, by networking with the Federation of Andhra Pradesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry, has donated defluoridation units to provide safe drinking water in Gangadevapalli village of Warangal district and Chinnakandakur village of Nalgonda district, both in Andhra Pradesh. India’s Demand for Water Creates One of the Largest and Most Attractive Water Markets in the World - a close look at the depleting water resources and the break down of water infrastructure that is restricting India’s ability to provide usable and drinkable water to its residents. In addition, perspective from water technology company Hendrx Corp (OTCBB: HDRX), evaluates current challenges and technological solutions to India’s water crisis China and India’s aggressive economic growth is creating opportunities for foreign investors involved in the water and renewable energy sectors.

Question: Doesn't privatization of Government assets divert capital from necessary innovation? With climate change we have to invent a vastly different economy, with new technologies for most things from transport to housing. In Australia now, Government agreements with Tollway operators are now preventing the development of competing alternative road systems and public transport systems - and there are plenty of similar situations globally from tollways to fossil fuel power generation, communications systems, water, etc. Most contracts even guarantee private interests very high returns, with penalties at public cost. Isn't it time we took back responsibility and authority for the community utilities past generations created?

Answer: it sure is you are correct the whole thing is a rort on the tax payer by the same individuals wearing different sheeps clothing.

Question: How do you calculate the Radius of Influence of a Soil Vapor Extraction Well? I am not looking for the infleunce on the ground water but on the soil vapor. The soil is fairly sandy with some clay lenses. I am a Treatment system plant operator and I was just trying to figure out how the engineers determined the spacing of the wells.

Do any of you have experience with these? Which has the best real world aapplication as i'm joining the air guard and not active duty?? And so on... Thanks! At this point I haven't been able to narrow them down very well despite my research. The descriptions on these jobs are very vague, and I still have very little idea what I would be doing. The reason for posting all that were available to me is for the hope that somebody has some experience with one, or two, or however many of these and can perhaps shed some light on their job duties and any other useful info.

Answer: I'm Aircraft Armament Systems... I'm responsible for the weapons/ nuclear exposives for jet fighters. I hav a brother who's Aerospace Propulsion; basically a mech for jet engines. He likes his job, specially because he got stationed to the best places so far; Nellis @ Las Vegas, and Misawa, Japan. I say pick a AFSC that interests you the most/ what you can use for the civilian sector. Hint- try to stay away from the jobs everyone wants... because you'll be waiting for a hell of a long time to get it, or not get it at all.

Question: Java > decimal to binary code > backwards output? so I have this homework to convert decimal input into binary using an iterative method as well as a recursive one. Now no worries, I think already got that down =P. The problem is, the output is obviously backwards. Is there a way I can add some extra lines to solve this problem, or must I write a method to flip the output around =/. Here's the code (if you wish, I also want to see how I'm doing with documentation, I want it to be as clear as water =D) : /** Assign5 Converts decimals to binary using an iterative or a recursive method */ import java.util.*; public class bconvert { /** user input is allowed with the creation of object 'in' for the Scanner class of the imported java utilities pack. */ int x,y; Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); public void conversion() { int x = in.nextInt(); /** to convert decimal to binary in one method, divide a number by 2 and record the remainder, and keep dividing until it is 0 a while loop is used to carry out this method as long as the number is not 0. variable x is assigned a number by user input. */ while(x>0) { y=x%2; x=x/2; System.out.print(y); /** The while loop will run until the variable x is equal to 0. While running, this loop will get the remainder of x divided by 2, assign the remainder to variable y, divides x by 2, and prints out y to display to the user The process repeats until x is 0. */ } } public void convRecursive(int n) { /** This recursive method uses an assigned integer for testing purposes, variable n, and will get the remainder of n divided by 2 using the modulo(%) operator. The remainder is assigned to variable x, which will then be sent to be output and be displayed to the user. Recursion process begins as the method calls on itself to do the computation again, the only difference is now it will compute to solve n divided by 2. A stopping condition is written with the if loop to check whether the number is no longer divisible by 2, and if the condition is true, the method will stop. */ x = n%2; System.out.print(x); if(n==0) { System.exit(0); } convRecursive(n/2); } /** a main method is added to run the program object btest is created for class bconvert to test either method conversion() or convRecursive(int n) for now, convRecursive(int n) is being tested, and an integer i is created and assigned a number to test the method. */ public static void main(String[] args) { int i = 66; bconvert btest = new bconvert(); btest.convRecursive(i); } } wow I totally forgot that and our prof. said that this week or so >.< thanks for the lecture tho, I'm just soaking wet when it comes to computer science. and it shows when I'm confused at ( char ) ( n % 2 + '0' ) >.> Does this search the character, then finds remainder and then adds a 0? I didn't even know you could write it like this darn the crappy layout of this site tho =/ more crap for you guys. I'm supposed to print out some text this is just an example, say "the binary of 10 is 1010" how do I do that in either method without having it print in between the operations? It would just come out like "the binary of 10 is 1" "the binary of 5 is 0" "the binary of 2 is 1" "the binary of 1 is 0" which is so wrong. >.< I can't think of what to do without interfering and having such an output. thanks for the help about the main method, it's just that my prof. already gave us one and we had to use it. but I figured it all out. thanks again!

Answer: First of all, there is a common misconception that these converters convert "from decimal" to binary. Numbers are stored on computers (typically) in binary, the only time a conversion from decimal happens is when a number is read from a string of digit characters (like if it were read from the user, like by the Scanner class, or from an ASCII file). So after the line "int i = 66;", "i" is stored in binary. The conversion involved in this (and many similar) problem(s) is to turn the number (which happens to be stored in binary, but the algorithm doesn't care) into a string of "bit" characters ("0" and "1" characters). If the problem were to take a string of digit characters ("0".."9" characters) and turn that into a string of "bit" characters ("0" and "1" characters), THAT would be a kind of conversion from decimal to binary. Sorry for the lecture, but I see this misconception all the time here at Yahoo Answers. Here are a couple of methods that will do what you need: static void convert ( int n ) { if ( n == 0 ) System.out.print ( "0" ) ; else { String bits = "" ; do { bits = ( char ) ( n % 2 + '0' ) + bits ; n /= 2 ; } while ( n > 0 ) ; System.out.print ( bits ) ; } } static void convertRecursive ( int n ) { if ( n == 0 ) System.out.print ( "0" ) ; else { if ( n / 2 > 0 ) convertRecursive ( n / 2 ) ; System.out.print ( ( char ) ( n % 2 + '0' ) ) ; } } They are tested and work. The special cases for n == 0 are to prevent it from printing nothing when passed zero (or conversely, printing a leading '0' on every number but zero). Many simpler implementations suffer from this shortcoming. EDIT: To have the extra output ("X in binary is Y"), the methods I wrote above would be called from another method, most likely the 'main' method of your overall program: public class Convert { //... those two conversion methods here public static void main ( String args [ ] ) { int val = ... ; // read value to conver from user here System.out.print ( val + " in binary (nonrecursive) is " ) ; convert ( val ) ; System.out.println ( ) ; System.out.print ( val + " in binary (recursive) is " ) ; convertRecursive ( val ) ; System.out.println ( ) ; } } Even better would be to have those methods I wrote return a string instead of printing it themselves. You should be able to see how to easily make that change. Then the printing part in main becomes just this (one such lien for each of the two conversion methods): System.out.println ( val + " in binary is " + convert ( val ) ) ; Regarding questions you may have about how some of the code I wrote works, I suggest trying to figure that out by finding the descriptions of the language constructs I used in any Java Language Reference Manual.

Question: did the big bang create you,because ive seen many explosions but have never seen any create a universe or life? INTERSTING CREATION STORY, before the bible, but same message in the begininig was the universal mind, the cause of mind, and the cause of spirit, that which was formless, and void, infinite -GOD and out of this was born the Word, the son of god, that which is to take of a cause and together will and manifest, and they wer one (mind cannot create without spirit, there would be nothing to create, mind and spirit are one, so there is a universal cause of spirit and mind, which is god, and in order for the cause to exist, something would have to be born of it, to will it, which is how the word, or the son of god came to be, and was born of the cause, (an idea is invisible until thoughts create a word, then it is made visible) god and son of god- is life as we know That which in thee seeth and heareth, (your mind and spirit), is the the Word of the Lord, and the Mind the Father (cause of mind and cause of spirit), God, differ not one from the other; and the union of these is Life. now as this came to be when the word was created, in order for the will of the two to become a reality, the Will of God, to cause mind and spirit; which taking the Word, that which takes of it and creates through and with it, and beholding the beautiful World of the two as one, imitated it, and so made this World, visible, of form, our earth and solar system,by the principles or Soul-like productions of itself. THE WILL OF GOD CAUSED THE FORMATION OF THE VISIBLE WORLD, BY TAKING THE WORD, A MIND BORN OF UNIVERSAL MIND AND its IMITATING IT became the created world as we know For the Mind being God, Male and Female, Life(cause of manifestation) and Light (willer of manifestation), brought forth by his Word another Mind or Workman therefore, our mind and the universal mind together created another mind or sytem of creation, our solar system, the sensible world, visible, and called destiny, and was what god and the son of god created and our minds, united with the new mind, that of our and gods mind own creation, exalted itself into the clean and pure Workmanship of Nature, and was united to the Workman, Mind, for it was of the same substance; and so the downward born elements of Nature were left without Reason, so that they might be only Matter, because they were only images as the mind willeth, out of the lower or downward-born Elements, brought forth unreasonable or brutish Creatures, for they had no reason, the Air flying things, and the Water such as swim. 17. And the Earth and the Water were separated, either from the other, as the Mind would; and the Earth brought forth from herself, such living creatures as she had, four-footed and creeping beasts, wild and tame. 18. But the Father of all things, the Mind being Life and Light, brought forth Man like unto himself, whom he loved in his proper Birth; for he was all beauteous, having the image of his Father. God was exceedingly enamoured of his own form or shape, and delivered unto it all his own Workmanships. But he, seeing and understanding the Creation of the Workman(creation of what the son of god, and god made as one, or life as we know on earth) in the whole, would needs also himself fall to work, and so was separated from the Father, being in the sphere of Generation or Operation, and not being the operator so showed and made manifest the downward-born Nature, the fair and beautiful Shape or Form of God. . Which, when he saw, having in itself the unsatiable Beauty, and all the operations of the Seven Governors(our planets are visible forms of the spirits of god, each planet has a spiritual influence on us, or zodiac,everything has a purpose, our sun represents the cause of spirit and mind, continously bringing life,), and the Form or Shape of God, he smiled for love, and started loving to live and cohabit with it, and therefore became subject to senses, which are ungodly, and subject to and bound to earthly, or created things, Man above all things that live upon earth is double: Mortal, because of his body, and Immortal, because of the substantial Man. For being immortal, and having power of all things, he yet suffers mortal things, and such as are subject to Fate or Destiny. This is the Mystery that to this day is hidden and kept secret; for Nature being mingled with man, brought forth a Wonder most Wonderful; for he having the nature of the Harmony of the Seven, from him whom I told thee, the Fire(cause of life and the Spirit(will of life), Nature brought forth seven Men, all Males and Females, according to the Natures of the seven Governors, or planets And man was made of Life and Light, now being in a body was made into soul and Mind; --of Life the soul, of Light the Mind--(our soul is what spirit and mind together has become) (our soul is the spirit we are now, our mind is what we will of it) we are not bodies, eerything we are is what we are spiritually, and our mind is a builder of spirit “In the beginning was the Word [the Christ], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were created through this One; and nothing that has been made was made without this One. In this One was life http://www.sacred-texts.com/eso/pym/pym03.htm

Answer: Wow, I hope you didn’t get writer’s cramp. Many times people run several ideas together and then they become confusing. It’s good to separate each item and examine it alone. ~The Big Bang has nothing to do with evolution, or even creation. The Big Bang deals only with the expansion of the universe. Evidence does not show the origin of the matter and energy in the universe or give information on conditions previous to the Big Bang, though theories and guesses abound. ~Evolution does not deal with the origin of life, only the changes that occur to existing life forms due to mutations. .

Question: how to decide the flow distribution of water according to demand? HI Suppose i have 4 demand areas need to be supplied by water. How can an operator or an engineer decides how much water (at once) should go through each pipeline? I have attached a picture for an example of this in this link: http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af305/kgfendi/Posts/Warar.png would you please let me know how can someone decide how much water will go through X1 to X5 (at the same time) assuming that the pipe system is able to carry the flow? The method should be generic and work for all possible combinations for a given number of nodes (demands). I can provide more details if required. Useful ideas are warmly welcomed. If there is any other resource or scientific forums which I can go and search, please let me know. Thanks...

Answer: Here are two sites that might help.

Question: Technologies I should read and learn about to pursue dream? I have long been interested in new ideas, but this idea just dawned upon me recently; an armor suit, super technologically advanced, and human operated for use in the military. Now I now that this sounds ridiculous, but I thought about it and I came up with all of the features I would like to have installed in this suit. Where I run into trouble is that I do not now where to start my research, so please I now that it is asking a lot, but I am going to write down all of the features I would like to install in the suit, and you guys can write down all of the subjects/technologies I need to study and research. Like I said, I know it is asking alot, but I WILL give a best answer to the person who gives an honest effort. Here are all of the features: -Bulletproof Casing System (A system to make the whole suit bulletproof) -Propulsion System (A system to propel the suit through the air) -Night/Infared Vision System (A system to have the operator of the suit be able to see at night) -Improved Kinetics System (A system to improve speed, strength, movement) -Internal and External Heating/Cooling System (A system to not only keep the inside of the suit comfortable, but to also keep the suit itself as the same temperature with its surroundings, therefore invisible to thermal vision) -GPS/Objective Focused Mapping System (A GPS that the operator can look at to see their location, but also the ability to have zones and points marked out on the GPS that have to do with the objective) -Climbing System (A system for the suit to climb) -Air Filtering System (A system to filter the air in which the operator is currently located) -Improved Vision System (A system to improve vision within the suit) -Improved Hearing System (A system to improve hearing within the suit) -Improved Reflex System (A system to improve reflexes within the suit) -Chemical Injection System (A system to inject chemicals into the operator who is operating the suit) -Body Diagnostic System (A system that shows how the operators body is functioning) -Armor Diagnostic System (A system that shows how the suit itself is functioning) -Cushioning System (A system to cushion the operator and absorb shock within the suit) -Hydration System (A system to hydrate the operator while he is inside the suit) -Waste Removal System (A system to remove wastes from within the suit such as sweat, bathroom wastes) -Camouflage System (A system to camouflage the suit with its surroundings) -Swimming/Underwater Navigation System ( A system for the suit to swim and navigate underwater) -Targeting/Distinction System (A system that would distinguish between friendlies and hostiles, and show where hostile are located on the operator's GPS) -Action Silencing System (A system to silence all actions the operator makes) -Weapons Storage System (A system to store all of the weapons the operator will be carrying) -Communication System (A system of communication between the operator of the suit and friendlies) -Team Diagnostic System (A system that shows the operator how all of his friendlies are functioning) -Emergency Notification System (A system that displays a distress signal, showing the suit/operator are in trouble) -Self Destruction System (A system to self-destruct the suit if the situation requires) -Authorization System (A system of authorization that would only let authorized users operate the suit) -Counter Electromagnetic Pulse System (A system that would successfully counter and EMP) -Impact Absorption System (A system to absorb impact to the suit/operator) -Waterproofing System (A system to prevent water from entering the suit) -Foreign Particles Prevention System (A system to prevent foreign particles such as dirt and grime from entering the suit) -Radioactivity Prevention System (A system to prevent radiation from entering the suit) -Internal Body Forming System (A system to form to the operator using the suit to prevent rubbing and reinforcing the "one size fits all" concept) Now once again I know that this is alot but a list of technologies/subjects that I should study/research to understand and perfect these concepts would be much appreciated. Thank you

Answer: despite my better judgment sure I'll take a stab at it. Sorry in advance if I'm sort of a kill joy.. 1. Physics (to learn why it will only ever be bullet resistant) 2. Chemistry (problem with jet packs is the fuel being to heavy to carry enough for more then a few secs of flight. not to mention having people shoot at you while your wearing an explosive is bad.) 3. Electronics/Physics (not much to develop here as off the shelf would probably do.) 4. Mechanical/Electronics (Strength and speed don't go well together) 5. Physics (as tell you why this is theoretically imposable. Sorry there is no way to make heat just disappear) 6. Electronics (again not much to do as off the shelf could achieve all of these features) 7. Grappling hook? /structural( sorry nothing special to climbing trick would be making the limbs strong enough to support the weight.) 7.Physics (sure there are probably better practical fields but theory of how molecules interact is physics.) 8. Binoculars? /Physics (rather sure how light moves is physics) 9. Electronics 10. Biology (Sorry is no magic fix reflexes are all the person) 11. Medicine (all tho why you'd want to dope up the operator is beyond me.) 12. Medicine/Electronics (all though this is a pointless wast of space as it isn't going to tell you any thing useful with current tech) 13. Mechanical/Electronics 14. Physics/Medicine (the bulk of the calculations on how much force needs to transfer to the padding is physics and the numbers about the average human tolerances is medicine.) 15. Medicine/Mechanics (the bulk of the system is how best to hydrate with mechanics filling in the how r part) 16. Mechanics 17. No idea no current viable theory exists on application that i know of. 18. Mechanics/physics/electronics (under water ugg...) 19. Electronics (sorry allies only, as it is unlikely you'll get the enemy to walk around blindly with am "I'm the enemy" transmitter.) 20. Physics (sorry like heat you can't just make sound disappear) 21.mechanical/structural 22. Electronics 23. Electronics 24.Electronics 25. Electronics/Mechanical/Chemistry (oh the joys of explosives.) 26. Electronics (tho this is pointless as every system can be cracked given time.) 27. Electronics (this is a passive system tho as there is no active emp defense.) 28. Structural 29. Chemistry/Physics/Mechanical (Chem for a sealing agent, Physics for how the water and seal behave, mechanical as to how not to break the seal while moving.) 30. Biology ( the only way this is possible is to never have any one get in to the suit) 31. Physics 32. No point, with the tuning alone required for different sized appendages they would have to be custom fit. Now assuming you've gone through all of this post. it should be noted that dabbling even to the point of a doctorate likely won't give you all the info to fully understand or fabricate such systems.

Question: Why does positive world-wide cooperation have to be such a fluke? Read the L.A. Times Editorial ["A worldwide rescue effort" ] for UP-LIFTING news, It's definitely worth it. "For the 33 miners who have been trapped half a mile below ground in Chile for more than two months, there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. When drill operator Jeff Hart punched through to the chamber last week, the miners cheered below and their relatives wept with joy, hugging Hart and posing for pictures with him. The Denver resident had been in Afghanistan drilling water wells for the U.S. Army when he was called to the mine in the Atacama desert, and his efforts there are only one example of the extraordinary international effort that, combined with local expertise, has made the 33 miners the longest surviving victims of a mine cave-in. The Chilean authorities have said that they could be rescued as soon as Tuesday night. The international effort was matched by the inspiring example of those trapped below. The mine collapsed on Aug. 5, and 17 days passed before contact was made through a probe and the world learned of the miners' determination and discipline. They had stretched a two-day supply of food by living on two spoonfuls of tuna, a sip of milk, a bits of crackers and a nibble of peaches — every other day. And they had maintained order by continuing to follow the directions of the senior miner in the company. Contact with the world above brought hundreds of government officials, Red Cross workers and volunteers (who prepare 500 meals a day for family members) to the site. It also brought cutting-edge technology to solve the dual challenges of keeping the miners alive and devising a rescue. Twenty private mining companies from around the world — usually rivals — coordinated efforts to penetrate the rock, loaning equipment and personnel; the state-run mining company fashioned a telephone system through a second probe hole. The miners have received, food, water, medicine, dominoes, MP3 players and videos to ward off depression, and they have traded letters with family members. One man proposed to his girlfriend; another promised his wife the honeymoon they never had. The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration sent a team to Chile to share expertise about the psychological and physical toll of living in cramped quarters, and when the miners exercise — to be rescued, they must fit into a capsule called the Phoenix, whose diameter is less than two feet — they wear gear that is standard for astronauts and which monitors their heart, lung and other functions. When they are finally brought out into the light they will wear special sunglasses provided by Oakley, based in Orange County. On Monday, the capsule, whose components were designed by 20 NASA engineers, completed a successful trial run. And if it rises later this week, as expected, carrying the first miner, the greatest joy will be in Chile, but the job well done will belong to many." Copyright © 2010, Los Angeles Times http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/editorials/la-ed-1012-chile-20101012,0,3846969.story @ M'oochelle suqui M'ahdique - Did you read this: "Twenty private mining companies from around the world — usually rivals — coordinated efforts to penetrate the rock, loaning equipment and personnel..."

Answer: The funny thing is that all of the miners want to be macho about the rescue, and be the LAST one out. I pity the first bloke who comes out of that hole.

Reason I ask is that an ex-boyfriend used to work for a little company in Michigan called Underground Lines Inc.and he smoked Marijuana with all the operators and laborers during work and after at the Mound Deli,and every so often their boss Doug Peavey would tell them a drug test is coming up and they would drink some Everclear drink "OR SOMETHING THAT SAYS TO CLEAN YOUR SYSTEM" before it and drink alot of water and pass the drug test.So how is this possibly that the less fortunate and under achiever can pass a drug test but a millionaire cannot pass.This sounds crazy if you ask me but I am asking you all.

Answer: Michael Vick wasn't given the advance notice of the test like your boyfriend was. And even if he had, they can actually detect the masking agents and can tell if you have been drinking too much water and that can cause a positive test result.

Question: Does Homeowner's Insurance cover wind driven rain damage? We were in the path of Hurricane Ike in Baytown, TX. I have roof damage, leaks, wet carpets, wet wood floors and a non-existing blown away perimeter fence (have pets and kids) which posts a security issue as there is no power and therefore our alarm system does not work. The adjuster was supposed to call me two days ago after I called them on Monday. Nobody there to answer questions as none of the claims adjusters are answering the calls - only operators. My question: Is it okay for me to remove wet carpets to prevent mold? Can I demo the wet wood floors and cut out the wet sheetrock to prevent further damage? Water came through the sides of the back door and from under the door threshold (wind driven rain) is that going to be covered as well since that is not caused by rising water (flood)? Flood insurance said it wasn't flooded and that it would be covered by Homeowner's Insurance. Would liek to get that confirmed before doing something wrong...please only answer if you know for sure!

Answer: Policies may cover wind driven rain, most (all?) do not unless there is damage to the house, too. But you have roof damage, so you will likely have coverage for at least part of your damage, though I can't say with any certainty. Unfortunately even if you do read your policy you're still not likely to know until your adjustor can assess your damage. Try to be patient, as they adjustors are talking to those with the most serious damage first. That's why they have operators taking messages, so they can get those homes assessed! That said, YES, you can - and are actually REQUIRED TO, prevent further damage as best you can. Be sure to take photos or video, and do not discard anything you remove until your adjustor tells you in writing that you can. Save any receipts and document, document, document. You may not have to remove the carpet, but see if you can get some fans/dryers in there to dry it out. The sheetrock is likely a total loss, but I'd still try to have some contact with the adjustor before doing anything too major like removing the wood floors. Buy a tarp and place that on your roof, but be careful! My heart goes out to all those affected by these nasty storms. Best of luck, and stay safe!
