The quantity and quality of water The quantity and quality of water will be a critical limiting factor towards attaining sustainable development across the globe. Water is a basic need that is needed for the survival of all living things (Gürsoy & Atun, 2019). The limitation in the supply of this essential compound depicts that sustainability will not be achievable in the future. Human beings are facing significant water challenges linked to the quality of it that is needed for consumption. As such, water treatment and purification plants have been established, which focus on improving the quality of the consumed water by human beings. Chemical, biotic, and physical processes are vital in ensuring that the quality of water that is availed to individuals in society is purified for their primary consumption. The chemical and physical processes are controlled by biological factors (Hawkins, Race & Potter, 2015). In the treatment of water, different chemicals are used, which include chlorine dioxide, algicide, soda ash, and chlorine, muriatic acid. There is also the use of coagulants, filter cleaners, clarifiers, and flocculants. These chemicals…

The park was influenced by Paris and was born out of the trend for public parks at the end of the 19th century. The biggest city island park in the world is the Belle Isle, covering 900 acres and larger than the Central Park in New York City. Both parks were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the famed landscape architect. It was officially opened in 1845 when the island became known as Belle Isle. In 1879, Detroit purchased the park.

Case Problem 2.1 As the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Mylan, I would defend the price in terms of the cost the company incurs. The company must invest in research and development (R&D) if it is to remain capable of producing life-changing medications, such as EpiPen. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile for the public to know that the R&D process is expensive; hence, the need to raise drug prices to cater to such expenses (Emanuel, 2019). Additionally, the regulatory regime in the U.S. is strict and bureaucratic. For instance, before the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves a drug, it must go through extra trials that are not a must in many other parts of the globe. Such bureaucracies increase the cost of developing and producing drugs; hence, the price increase. Mylan’s conduct in raising the prices is both unethical and a bad business practice. It is a bad business practice because the pharmaceutical company did not factor in the anticipated reaction from its competitors. For instance, following the price hike, CVS announced that it would begin the sale of a…

Sustainability Factors A sustainable design is a thoughtful design that has two primary purposes; to maximize the value of the built environment and to diminish or remove the adverse effects to the natural surroundings. A sustainable infrastructure design incorporates workable standards that will offer benefits to the environment and the society at large. Therefore, an engineer or planner needs to put this into significant consideration. Some of the factors considered when coming up with the water project include the use of natural resources that were naturally available. In this case, water is the resource in question. Water is usually available underground, and the project came up with pumps to deliver the water to the surface for the locals to utilize. The pumps used for the project were mechanical pumps which do not produce any smoke or other emissions. Therefore, the project was environmentally friendly to enhance its sustainability. Also, the main aim of the project was to allow the locals to participate in the provision of water for their needs. The community members would pump the water, and therefore, water…
Contingency – understanding the term in organizational perspective Definition Contingency refers to a possible event – an emergency incident that has no certainty of occurrence but can occur and can cause a problem or necessitate further arrangements. It may be an independent event or an event that happens to occur in adjunction to another event or a result of it. In the business realm, contingency planning refers to having a plan to handle such emergencies that cannot be predicted (Bloom & Menefee, 1994). Article summary An article on the development of a contingency plan for handling product recovery in a closed-loop supply chain was considered to understand the term to a better extent. In the study, the researchers state contingency planning to be the initial stage in the development of a formal set of plans for production and controlling the activities of product reuse for the ones obtained through the supply chain return flow. The study adopts the aspects that can influence the production planning of the closed-loop supply chain for product recovery through a contingency approach. During the research,…
