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...
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 Management Addressing Societal and Climate Change Challenges
Water is the primary medium through which climate change influences the earth's ecosystem and thus people's livelihoods and well-being. Globally, 83% of all disasters have been caused by extreme...
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...
Water Interactions: A systemic 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...
Impact of Climate Change on Hydrology and Water Resources
The impact of climate change on water resources is a research area that is gaining prominence, and concerns the prediction of rainfall, temperature, streamflow/discharge, and other meteorological...
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...
