Any discussion of
energy and sanitation in France inevitably leads to the production of
electricity from various sources and attempts by national and local authorities
to meet the public demand for water facilities and 'sewer.
Currently,
the country is heavily dependent on energy production from nuclear energy,
while water and wastewater permanently occupy the mind and the deliberations of
the authorities and populations.
Energy, water and waste water
The
importance of energy, water and waste water to the health of the population of
a country requires constant vigilance to ensure that the health and livelihoods
of the population are not affected. France is no
exception.Energy, water and waste water
Electricity production
The core of the power generation business in France is Électricité de France (EDF), which generates and distributes electricity supplies in the country.
The company is now a company limited company with the government retaining substantial ownership in the business.
Renewable energy
The use of solar energy in France is gaining popularity due to the drop in prices and the introduction of government subsidies that were introduced in 2006 to promote the marketing boards. In addition, the production of energy from hydropower has maintained its popularity with 3 operating hydroelectric facilities: the Equzon Dam Pond Loulcem and Lake Vouglans.
Electricity production from the prevailing winds in France soon add volume to the amount of electricity generated from renewable sources. The president of the country confirmed the first in January 2011 bidding process to build the first offshore wind farms in France. Farms, to be built on the Atlantic coast, should produce 3GW electricity. The source of energy
About 74.5% of total electricity generation is produced by nuclear fission, while hydropower provides 16.2%. water
Treatment: The task of dealing with water supply, sanitation and wastewater belongs to the municipal authorities of France. In 2008, there were 15,250 water treatment plants and 17,300 wastewater treatment plants wastewater. The total length of the sewage network and water in France is about 800,000 kilometers.
Sources: France gets its water supply from surface water and groundwater. Surface water is provided by artificial channels such as Canal Marseille, which crosses Coudoux providing? Marseille drinking water of Durance River. Total household water in France is about 6 billion cubic meters, only 3% of the total flow, which is about 191 billion cubic meters. Most drinking water comes from groundwater (62%), while runoff provides 38%.
Access: An investigation by the Ministry of Agriculture in 1995, indicated that 370,000 permanent residents in rural areas and 0.5% of the total population had access to piped water. Its supply is derived from 30 000 water sources, in particular wells. However, the government plans to increase the access rate to 100%, improve water quality through the construction of protection areas around all wells and springs, and the maintenance of the distribution of water, the increase in production, storage and connections between the existing networks.
It was noted that a total of 41 million people in rural areas, about half are connected to a sewer system.
