Tetra Tech 348d ago

Tetra Tech supported the MCC’s wastewater recycling and groundwater conservation project in Mongolia. Kumar Ranganathan, senior director at Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), discusses Tetra Tech’s role in evaluating large, combined heat and power plants (CHPs) and preparing impact assessments and feasibility studies. Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, is facing water shortages due to declining river flow and diminishing wellfield production. The city’s declining water supply is exacerbated by high groundwater demand from the city’s CHPs and an outdated central wastewater treatment plant that is over capacity, resulting in municipal and industrial pollution contaminating downstream wells along the Tuul River. To provide a more sustainable water supply and increase economic development, Tetra Tech is supporting the MCC to partner with the Government of Mongolia to increase groundwater supply. Tetra Tech is helping conserve groundwater through new aquifer development in downstream wells and a water recycling project that will use treated wastewater for combined heat and power plants. MCC selected Tetra Tech to prepare the feasibility study, environmental and social baseline study, resettlement policy framework, and bid documents for the wastewater recycling project; and develop bid documents for the new Central Wastewater Treatment Plant (CWWTP) in Ulaanbaatar.
