This book aims at identifying novel advanced materials of extreme
wetting properties (MEWP) for practical, industrial applications.
The state-of-the art superhdyrophobic, superhdyrophilic,
superoleophobic, superoleophilic, and superomniphobic materials,
that are MEWP, with respect to their technological and emerging
industrial applications are discussed in this book. MEWP offer new
perspectives providing numerous potential applications. Hence,
these advanced MEWP have the potential to lead to a new generation
of products and devices with unique properties and functionalities.
Despite the large scientific progress on MEWP there are still some
obstacles which have to be solved to make these materials available
for real life applications. Recent advances on the production
strategies, including methods and materials, of MEWP has shown that
the durability and sustainability obstacles can be addressed thus
offering the possibility for industrial exploitation. MEWP with
wettabilities ranging from superhydrophobicity to
superhydrophilicity provide promising avenues for several and
important applications, which sometimes are crucial for the
humankind. This book also discusses a large variety of other
potential applications of MEWP, thus providing new ideas to
scientists and engineers for further exploitation of these novel
materials. Moreover, the whole spectrum of the recent technological
developments, current research progress, future outlook, and the
modern trends in the applications of MEWP are discussed in a
consistent approach.

Water balance studies for large and small river basins are the
subject of this book. Here, the specific focus is on the soil and
water assessment tools (SWAT) model coupled with geographic
information system (GIS) remote sensing data for a comprehensive
study. Some books available in the market provide an overview of
different hydrological models for water balance but not
specifically for the SWAT model. This book effectively utilizes the
SWAT model to study the water balances in small and large
catchments with consistent competence and excellent accuracy for
yearly and monthly water balance modules along with suspended
sediment yield over several slope classes of the catchments. The
approach is new and has been successfully utilized, as discussed in
a case study on the Taleghan Catchment in Iran. These
implementation models may assist as advantageous techniques for
incorporated management of catchments in the direction of
sustainable development. This book will help readers who wish to
study all the changes related to those in water balances.
