Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) Desalination
High-energy consumption is a critical issue associated with seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination, although the SWRO has been regarded as one of the most energy-efficient processes for...
Membrane based Point-of-Use Drinking Water Treatment System
Membrane based PoU water treatment systems are preferred due to shortcomings of other water treatment technologies. This system works without the addition of chemicals, with relatively low energy...
Water Resources Allocation and Agriculture
The book brings together a range of leading scholars and practitioners to compile an international account of water allocation policies supporting a transition to sustainable water use in regions...
Michael Abbott’s Hydroinformatics: Poiesis of New Relationships with Water
Hydroinformatics was established 30 years ago as a novel discipline in which computer modelling of water was combined with novel developments of Informational and Computational Technologies for...
Water Interactions: A systems view
During the last two decades, the interrelationship between water and energy has become recognized. Likewise, the couplings to food and agriculture are getting increasingly obvious and alarming. In...
Evolutionary Algorithms in Water Resources
Evolutionary algorithms and allied fields are getting more visibility as well as familiarity due to their numerous flexibilities such as handling high-dimensional non-linear problems and more....
Groundwater Assessment and Management: for sustainable water-supply and coordinated subsurface drainage
Groundwater beneath cities is important. Water utilities and private abstractors use is it as a secure source of water-supply and municipal authorities have to cope with it when planning...
Land Use and Water Quality: The impacts of diffuse pollution
The influence of landscapes – topography, soil, vegetation, geology - on water quality is an inherent part of the global water cycle. Land use has adverse impacts for example when soils are...
Pathways to Water Sector Decarbonization, Carbon Capture and Utilization
The water sector is in the middle of a paradigm shift from focusing on treatment and meeting discharge permit limits to integrated operation that also enables a circular water economy via water...
Water Infrastructure Planning, Management and Design Under Climate Uncertainty
This book is the product of a worldwide collaboration among UN water resources programs, prominent national water resources operating agencies and selected academic specialists. It deals directly...
