To Colonize Venus

A extensivly researched report.

Water

Water is a neccesary for any life to exist.  There is water in Venus' atmosphere, although very little, how's twenty parts to every million  in the atmosphere.  Of course through water filtration we would not run out of water to use in showers and to drink. 

Food

Food is analogically the super-fuel of the human body. We need food to operate properly. Also, we need to make sure we stay nutritionally balanced.  In order to sustain a large amount of people for a long (forever) period of time we need to use the compost that we gather to grow plants. To grow plants, we would also need the exact opposite of a greenhouse. A.K.A. we need to let plants grow in a colder area, while somehow letting them get artificial sunlight, and carbon-dioxide. We also have to use a few plants for seed.

Electricity

Getting electricity on Venus should probably be the easiest part. Because there is 300 k/h wind, we might have to worry about a power surge. Also, because it is about 240 degrees Celsius we can use the temperature to create a giant steam generator.

Garbage Disposal

 Garbage Disposal would be very important. Without it, it would quickly turn into a wasteland. That's right, even quicker than on earth because Venus is a smaller planet than earth. One of the most important things that we could do withour garbage that can be composted is to, well, compost it.  Also, there is a lot of things that we could recycle, just like we do at home. With the garbage that you can't compost, or recycle garbage, most of it we will probably be able to just simply throw outside, because it is a hot, barren world at 420 degrees Celsius.

How to clearify water

1. Water becomes sewage

2. They screen the water, and then they drive the truck of the sludge to a landfill.

3. They remove the grit, and they bring the grit to a landfill.

4. They put the remaining water into a sedimentation tank, the water seperates from the sludge and the scum, and then they burn the sludge and scum.

5. They pump the mostly clean water into an agitated tank.

6. They then put the water through chemical treatment, to make it taste better and add vitamins.

7. They then expose the water to powerful uv rays which kill everything.

8. Drink

9. Repeat
