Wastewater Reuse and Watershed Management - Engineering Implications for Agriculture, Industry, and the Environment (Paperback)

Water is a finite resource, and the demand for clean water is constantly growing. Clean freshwater is needed to meet irrigation demands for agriculture, for consumption, and for industrial uses. The world produces billions of tons of wastewater every year. This volume looks at a multitude of ways to capture, treat, and reuse wastewater and how to effectively manage watersheds. It presents a selection of new technologies and methods to recycle, reclaim, and reuse water for agricultural, industrial, and environmental purposes. The editor states that more than 75-80% of the wastewater we produce goes back to nature without being properly treated, leading to pollution and all sorts of negative health and productivity consequences. Topics cover a wide selection of research, including molluscs as a tool for river health assessment, flood risk modeling, biological removal of toxins from groundwater, saline water intrusion into coastal areas, urban drainage simulations, rainwater harvesting, irrigation topics, and more. Key features: * explores the existing methodologies in the field of reuse of wastewater * looks at different approaches in integrated water resources management * examines the issues of groundwater management and development * discusses saline water intrusion in coastal areas * presents various watershed management approaches * includes case studies and analyses of various water management efforts
