working questions
This are the new information about our project. Thank to everybody on the fast reply!

Tourism*
Is tourism causing more problems in wastewater and garbage, because they are used to higher standards. And therefore using more water for example with showering.
*Is their a demand from the tourist to change the situation, because tourist don’t like to see polluted ground and water.
*Is their a problem when a lot of tourist come at the same time, is their for example enough water then. And who is getting the water, the big hotels or the local people
*Can tourism be used for dealing with this problem, the money they bring in or the connections etc.
places to find answers:
*tourist organizations
*local government
*hotels
*local people
*water companies(?)
*rotary club

Garbage dump places
* Check next places and see what is the most urgent and polluted area:
officially garbage dump placesn
illegal dump placesn
garbage dump places from individual householdsn
butcher / slaughter garbage·
What is opinion of the local people about this, and what is opinion of the local government (maybe to do a interview with few different people).
Research the level of awareness about this problem, because I assume that lot of people simply don’t see this situation as a urgent and “dangerous”.·
What are the rules and regulations about garbage dump places?·
Check the way on which they are collecting the garbage and trash. How often they collect the trash (employers who are responsible for collecting the trash).·
How the system for recycling is functioning there?·
Do they have some priorities when is the matter of trash?· Think about the differences in the city and in the village – in the sense of solving the problems with garbage.
How the cities are dealing with the garbage in touristic areas, near hotels, beaches etc.·
Try to collect as much information as possible about the garbage places, and try to make some kind of map, with all specific and characteristic information.·
Try to build a kind of “guide” map, and maybe, later try to find a way to mark all this places in the same manner, so they can be more visible. In “artistic” way ( to be more designed, to have a different shape, for example), -but what is more important, through that kind of “new” visibility they should bring another level, layer of awareness.

InfrastructureQuestions:
What is the systems there?
* waterworks infrastructure.
* Sewage disposal infrastructure.
* Situation of wastewater treatment center. What is happening there?
* Where the water is coming from? (How they get the water?)
* Where the water is going?
* How much water they are using (need)?
How they are “behave” with the water?
* How people are using it?
* How people deal with the wastewater?
* How much budget for the infrastructure the government have?

Wastewater Wastewater can come from:
-Human waste, usually from: used toilet paper, wipes, urine, other bodily fluids
-Septic tank discharge
-Sewage treatment
-Washing water (personal, clothes, floors, dishes, etc.)
-Rainfall collected on roofs, yards, hard-standings, etc.
-Liquids from domestic sources (drinks, cooking oil, pesticides, paint, cleaning liquids, etc.)
-Seawater ingress
-Direct ingress of river water
-Direct ingress of man-made liquids (illegal disposal of pesticides, used oils, etc.)
-Industrial waste:–industrial site drainage (silt, sand, alkali, oil, chemical)0.Industrial process waters0.
Organic - bio-degradable - includes waste from abattoirs and creameries and ice-cream manufacture.0.
Organic - non bio-degradable or difficult to treat - for example Pharmaceutical or Pesticide manufacturing0.
Inorganic - for example from the metalworking industry0.extreme pH - from acid/alkali manufacturing, metal plating0.
Toxic - e.g. from metal plating, cyanide production, pesticide manufacturing0.agricultural drainage - direct and diffuse0.etc.
Starting to read about waste water I found a lot of treatment process which can be used to clean up wastewater, some of them are:- Wastewater treatment plants which may include physical, chemical and biological treatment processes.-
Use of septic tanks -
On-Site Sewage Facilities which is widespread in rural areas,-
The most important aerobic treatment system is the activated sludge process, based on the keeping and recirculation of a complex biomass composed by micro-organisms able to absorb and adsorb the organic matter carried in the wastewater-
Ecological approaches using reed bed systems such as constructed wetlands may be appropriate. Modern systems include tertiary treatment by micro filtration or synthetic membranes. After membrane filtration, the treated wastewater is indistinguishable from waters of natural origin of drinking quality. I suppose that exist more other treatments, these few I just mention, but I still don’t have idea how they look, and how they work. That will be the first thing or question for waste water in Cappadocia- to see their system for waste water.In mail of Caroline Delan (which Buba posted, few days ago) I read that the village has system to collect the waste water, but still they miss wastewater treatment system. That is thing on which they are working now -wetlands.In this mail Caroline tell everything about wastewater, and also about their future plans, process, recording of process and people and organization that are included in. But even if I read carefully I still miss a lot about treatments.
So, questions will/can be:
-From where is coming most of wastewater in rural area of Cappadocia ?-What is the source? (as I mention on beginning source can be- human waste, liquids from domestic sources, industrial site, rainfall etc)-And something about future wetland project. Lot of people is included in-organizations, students, local people, and businessmen’s.
-What is the expectation of this project from their point of view? I think that we can ask same questions
:-Local people-Students from Cappadocia professional University, Mustafapasa, who are included in project and voluntary students-Organizations NihaAnkara and local authorities –-Also the thing which is interesting for me is that film maker from KozaVisual will coordinate in preparing visibly material for recording of process wetland, and I would like that we can see more video materials from KozaVisual.

Industry
1. Where is the location of most industrial sites?
2. Is there any house or people live nearby?
3. What kind of factory that we can find the most?
4. What type of industry that make the worst (and least) pollution?
5. Is there any policy for establishing new factory.
6. How the factory treat their waste? Underground cities : people still use it or just an abandoned space?Monastery : any Christian monasteries still exist / function around Cappadocia, and how they interact with local (surrounding) people?Music : any traditional groups of musician that I can work together with?
