This book edition on "Wastewater Management and Technologies"
brings together a wealth of expertise by the authors, who exemplify
the wide range of options available - from nature-based solutions
to different levels of technology - and the different experiences
through case studies from around the world, with a particular focus
on conditions in developing countries. The book is part of a book
series (special editions) based on the publication of the book
"Water and Wastewater Management", published by Springer in 2022
(ISBN 978-3-030-9528-7). The part about "Wastewater Management and
Technologies" edited in this book will be deepened with this first
special edition in terms of technological topics.
This volume addresses the situation of water and wastewater
management from a global angle, underpinned by selected case
studies. Without doubt, water and wastewater management are among
the greatest challenges of our century, and there is also no doubt
that the challenges posed by climate change will become even
greater. However, most efforts, especially in developing countries
but also in the so-called developed countries, have been less than
optimal or not optimal at all. In particular, there are still too
many people who have to live without clean water and decent
sanitation. Today, 2.2 billion people lack access to safely managed
drinking water and wastewater, and 4.2 billion people lack safely
managed sanitation services. The question, why this is so and why
in many cases in developing countries, is discussed in this book
among other urgent water and wastewater management issues. The
publication of this book is the start of a book series that in more
detail critically reviews, discusses, and analyzes the water and
wastewater situation and management in different regions and
countries worldwide.
