Analytics can support numerous aspects of water industry planning,
management, and operations. Given this wide range of touchpoints
and applications, it is becoming increasingly imperative that the
championship and capability of broad-based analytics needs to be
developed and practically integrated to address the current and
transitional challenges facing the drinking water industry.
Analytics will contribute substantially to future efforts to
provide innovative solutions that make the water industry more
sustainable and resilient. The purpose of this book is to introduce
analytics to practicing water engineers so they can deploy the
covered subjects, approaches, and detailed techniques in their
daily operations, management, and decision-making processes. Also,
undergraduate students as well as early graduate students who are
in the water concentrations will be exposed to established
analytical techniques, along with many methods that are currently
considered to be new or emerging/maturing. This book covers a broad
spectrum of water industry analytics topics in an easy-to-follow
manner. The overall background and contexts are motivated by (and
directly drawn from) actual water utility projects that the authors
have worked on numerous recent years. The authors strongly believe
that the water industry should embrace and integrate data-driven
fundamentals and methods into their daily operations and
decision-making process(es) to replace established "rule-of-thumb"
and weak heuristic approaches - and an analytics viewpoint,
approach, and culture is key to this industry transformation.
This book documents innovative approaches for integrating green
technologies and decentralized water infrastructure. The two major
components of green decentralized water infrastructure are: (1)
using locally available alternative water sources (rainwater,
greywater, and brackish/saltwater) (at multiple scales, e.g., a
single building to a neighborhood community level); and (2) using
renewable energy resources (solar, wind, biomass, geothermal,
other). Chapter 1, introduces the concept and framework of green
decentralized water infrastructure. The subsequent nine chapters
give a detailed description of global case studies, and discuss
significant components of the green decentralized water
infrastructure and the challenges. The chapters document global
case studies and prospects (chapters 1-7) followed by challenges
facing decentralized water infrastructure (chapters 8-10). The book
will provide a cross-disciplinary knowledge-base for smart &
futuristic water management in urban settings and a significant
opportunity for sharing smart and decentralized water technologies
at the global level
