Water is the main component of human food, being also of extreme
need for household and industrial. However, the water is mankind's
most important resource after the air. Economic development and
population growth are hugely increasing both the demands on
existing resources of water and the environmental pollution in many
parts of the world. The development of effective methods to improve
the freshness and cleanness of sufficient quantities of water is
necessary. The first part of the book contains papers on drinking
water standards, watershed protection, and source water composition
and its properties in different regions as the distribution system
of the U.S, water supplies in the Logone valley (Chad-Cameroon),
thermokarst lake waters of western Siberia and groundwater in
Sukhodol Bay. The next part of the book gives an overview of the
methods for water monitoring and quality evaluation of water
pollution level. Optical molecular method and biological monitoring
to detect and distinguish a wide range of impurities are discussed.
Other methods, which use single factor pollution index,
comprehensive pollution index and self-propelled nanomotors to
explore the main water pollutants, are outlined. The traditional
treatment technologies, discussed in the third part of the book,
remain ineffective for providing cleaned water due to increasing
demand of the water supplies. Nanotechnology-based multifunctional
and highly efficient processes are providing affordable solutions
to water/wastewater treatments that do not rely on large
infrastructures or centralized systems. Other techniques for water
treatment as adsorption and photocatalytic ozonation, due to their
simple operation and effectiveness, are demonstrated to be between
of the most effective and convenient approaches. Mostly, the
pollutants in the environment include a different group of
compounds, as pharmaceuticals drugs, personal-care products,
surfactants, industrial additives and agents, heavy metal and toxic
mineral. In this book are given examples from each of the groups
mentioned above.
