a. Imported goods and food stuff. Largely imported with waste and packaging sent outside city to landfill. This landfill is increasingly becoming part of the city, and together with new waste mining and waste to energy techniques, can be converted to energy for re-use in the city. b. Oil and Gas for electricity. Virtually all energy in the city is imported and utilized – releasing CO2, heat and other pollutants. Looking for improved recyclables, and low energy solutions for cooling tropical , crowded city. Improved traffic conditions, better designed and enforced building codes and F structures, and improved urban planning (with landscaping) would allow more efficient energy use. c. Water – Although all water is imported to the city,all rainwater flows are diverted to the laker cough of the city. Lake is silted up (with valuable nutrients, and pollutants (from run off) that then causes flooding. The lake used to provider livelihoods and food for residents, together with a heat sink for the nearby urban areas. Plans are afoot to dredge the lake for it silt. This could be re-used with new technology to clean it of pollutants, thereby creating a resource and lowering flooding. Water run-off could be collected and used for urban greenery, and slow release for domestic use, cooling and industrial applications, rather than wasted to the lake. note the Photo is actually Buriram Thailand.
