03. Data Collection

.Koforidua is a city in New Juabeng South with a population of over 300,000. Because of a shortage of waste management services in our neighborhood, garbage is not properly disposed of resulting in an increase of rubbish in our neighborhood, as well as certain health issues such as malaria, skin illness, and diarrhoea. Inadequate waste management has also resulted in illegal garbage dumping in the Eastern Region, producing environmental issues such as soil erosion, water contamination, and floods.

Problem Identification

INTRODUCTION

WASTE MANAGEMENT

Waste Management is the collection, transportation, and disposal of garbage, sewage and other waste products.

info

.01

Koforidua is popularly known as Kof-City.

Methodology

.02

Population and sample

Majority of my research was done through:

Fieldwork

  • Visited various refuse sites,
  • Interacted with some garbage men in the vicinity.

To fully understand the iimpact of this problem i:

  • Survey
  • Personal Interaction with family and friends
  • Internet research

Data Collection

A total of 50 questionnaires were printed out and distributed , 40 of the questionnaires were answered

Causes

.04

Through my research I found some of the reasons for the poor waste management in Koforidua

  • Unreliable methods of garbage collection and disposal
  • Lack of bins at vantage parts and overfilling of current bins
  • Faulty Sewage System

Solution 1

Establishment of Recycling Plants

The process of repurposing useful materials that have been discarded is known as recycling. These materials and resources are then extracted/recovered, or converted to energy in the form of useable heat, power, or fuel, which can help reduce landfill volume, water and air pollution, and the greenhouse effect.

These recycling activities will go a long way toward addressing some of the disadvantages of dumping, which are harmful to the environment.

.06

Solution 2

Separation/Segregation of Waste

Automatic waste segregation machines make use of a variety of sorting means to separate organic matter, plastics, metal, bricks and stones and other substances out from garbage to the maximum to improve the reusing and recycling of waste. At the same time, the separated waste materials can be further re-processed into useful resources.

.07

Solution 3

Central Sewage System

Instead of septic tanks, families can choose for a Central Sewage system, which is less expensive and more effective at waste management. Thermal energy is converted to electrical energy through the operation of a turbine. As a byproduct, methane gas may potentially be utilized as a fuel.

In conclusion, waste management is a major challenge for the community. These tough conditions are having a harmful impact on the environment. These issues can be eliminated or at the very least reduced to the bare minimum using engineering concepts and computer engineering understanding. This would provide a more safe and stable living environment.
