It would be hard to find an European city that has a worse reputation than Bartovia’s, with crime, rubbish, graffiti and dereliction featuring in every description over the last 60 years.

With unemployment running at 11%, the city government essentially bankrupt, and a population actually falling as young people leave in droves, there are few bright spots in Bartovia’s future.

One of the few, however, is an new venture run by Sergio Leone, a nano-chemist who has returned to the city of his birth to try and make an impossible a reality.

Explanation:

Erroneous use of the article "an" was found and corrected in line one of sentence one. To use the indefinite articles of "a" and "an" correctly, you'd have to listen for whether the word following the articles sounds like a consonant or a vowel, regardless of whether or not it starts with a vowel or a consonant.

European is pronounced yr·uh·pee·uhn. Note that the first letter of the sound is a consonant. Hence, "an" cannot apply there. The best article to use is "a".

Further reconstruction was carried out on sentence 1 to improve readability. When creating compound sentences, clarity is crucial. Removing the possessive form of Bartovia by eliminating the "'s" and replacing "that has" helped to achieve that.

Still about sentence 2, if you read carefully, you'd find that the word "actually" is not relevant to improving the idea being passed across. Rather, its absence gives it more clarity.

Sentence 3 was completely reworked. "However" was removed and the passive voice which kept Sergio Leone in the "background" was resolved too. The sentence was reworked to show that he is the one bringing one of the few glimmers of hope to the city.

many were disgusted, nauseated and shook their heads with disapproval upon finding out about the recycling of water process. however, they do not seem to understand that this process actually saves water.

although individuals may argue that it is unhealthy, and or unsafe to drink water that is "from toilet to tap" , the water is 100% safe to drink and involves forcing the water across a membrane, which "removes   any impurities, including viruses, pharmaceuticals and dissolved minerals" , according to paul rozin, a psychology professor who studies revulsion.

i agree that that the thought of drinking water that once ran through someones kitchen sink isn't quite appealing, but recycled wastewater is safe to drink. it also saves water. "the city produces nine million gallons a day" claims russell schreiber, the city’s director of public works.

recycled waste water has absolutely no health concerns whatsoever. when wastewater goes into a system, it's absorbed back into the ground. thus, it goes into a sewer system, then goes through a treatment process that removes contaminants before being released. nonetheless, there is no problem in drinking water that has been recycled.

"in drought-ed california, there are six state agencies that use wastewater that comes from an intellectual property source," according to the university of california, riverside. studies show that this water is completely safe to drink, however, it still doesn't mean people are going to happily pour it in a water glass.

researchers hope it "may make consumers more amenable to drinking recycled wastewater," extraordinarily, women who have a higher "disgust reaction" and make most consumer purchasing decisions.

it means that the hockey puck was traveling very fast.
