Suppose that XYZ discontinues the product line and that the company places ads in farmers’ trade journals and producers cooperatives newsletters asking farmers to turn in their XYZ hoses for full refunds, with the ads stating that the hoses are “obsolete,” not that they are unsafe. Discuss the ethical issues/implications of this strategy.

The water engineer aims at prevention contamination of water supplies at all times. In most small water supply systems, however, economic reasons prevent 24-hour daily water service. This creates a risk of polluted water infiltrating into the pipelines through leaks in pipe joints and service taps. How would the water engineer ensure that the pollution do not pose a health risk to domestic consumption? Give example of factors to consider when selecting the material for the pipe.?
Caselet 2: You are an environmental engineer for one of the many local plants. That plant discharges effluents into a lake in a flourishing tourist area. Although all the plants are marginally profitable, they compete for the same customers. Your responsibilities are to monitor the water and air discharges at your plant and the periodic reporting to Dept. of Anti-pollution. You have just prepared a report that indicates that the level of pollution in the Plant’s water discharges slightly exceed the legal limits. Your supervisor says you should regard the excess as a mere ‘technicality’, and he asks you to ‘adjust’ the data so that the data appears to be in compliance. He says that slight excess is not going to endanger human or fish life any more than if the plant were actually in compliance. However he says, solving the problem would require a very heavy investment. He explains, “We can not afford new equipment. It might cost even a few jobs. It will set us behind our competitors.…
