Water, the Environment and the Sustainable Development Goals
details the availability of water resources on Earth in the context
of sustainable resource management, how these water resources are
utilized and the latest sustainable techniques in water resource
management. Along with the latest techniques, each chapter
discusses future challenges and opportunities in sustainability and
provides detailed case studies. Sections cover water
quality, water pollution, water borne diseases, water purification,
transboundary waters, water and energy, water and the green
economy, water cooperation, water scarcity, and the relationship
between water environments and sustainable development goals.
Wetlands for Water Pollution Control, Third Edition covers broad
water and environmental engineering aspects relevant for the
drainage and treatment of storm water and wastewater, providing a
descriptive overview of complex ‘black box’ treatment systems
and general design issues involved. Fundamental science and
engineering principles are explained to address the student and
professional market. Standard and novel design recommendations for
predominantly constructed wetlands and related sustainable drainage
systems are also provided to account for the interests of
professional engineers and environmental scientists. In addition,
the latest research findings in wastewater treatment and runoff
control are discussed to attract academics and senior consultants.
The 2015 International Conference on Water Resource and Environment
(WRE2015) aims to provide a platform where scholars from different
countries can exchange ideas, opinions and views. This book is
divided into four main themes: 1. Hydrology and water resources; 2.
Water pollution; 3. Water treatment methods, and 4. Freshwater
ecosystems. Exploring topics such as water-energy-food nexus, water
purification solutions, chemical hydrology, south to north water
diversion projects, and the aligning of water resources needs with
the conservation of habitats and species, this book is of interest
to professionals and academics involved in hydraulic engineering
and related fields.
Wetland Systems covers broad water and environmental engineering
aspects relevant for the drainage and treatment of storm water and
wastewater. It provides a descriptive overview of complex 'black
box' treatment systems and the general design issues involved.
Standard and novel design recommendations for predominantly
constructed wetlands and related sustainable drainage systems are
given to take into account the interests of professional engineers
and environmental scientists. Wetland Systems deals comprehensively
with not only the design, operation, maintenance and water quality
monitoring of traditional and novel wetland systems, but also
covers: * Analysis of asset performance * Modelling of treatment
processes * Performances of existing infrastructure *
Sustainability and economic issues Solutions to pressing water
quality problems associated with constructed treatment wetlands,
integrated constructed wetlands, farm constructed wetlands and
storm water ponds, and other sustainable biological filtration and
treatment technologies linked to public health engineering are
explained. Case study topics are diverse: natural wetlands and
constructed treatment wetlands; sustainable water management; and
specific applications, such as wetlands treating hydrocarbons. The
research projects discussed are multi-disciplinary, holistic,
experimental and modelling-orientated. Wetland Systems is a useful
reference for the design and operation of wetland systems by
engineers and scientists working for the water industry,
non-governmental organisations, local authorities and governmental
bodies. It is also a valuable text for undergraduate and
postgraduate students, lecturers and researchers in civil and
environmental engineering fields.

Wetlands for Water Pollution Control, Second Edition, covers the
fundamental science and engineering principles relevant to the
drainage and treatment of both storm and wastewater. Standard and
novel design recommendations for predominantly constructed wetlands
and related sustainable drainage systems are also provided to
account for the interests of professional engineers and
environmental scientists. This revised edition deals with the
design, operation, maintenance, and water quality monitoring of
traditional and novel wetland systems, but also provides
information on the analysis of asset performance and modeling of
treatment processes, along with performances of existing
infrastructures in predominantly developed, but also developing
countries, and the sustainability and economic issues involved.
This new edition contains 10 new chapters, along with
multidisciplinary, experimental, and modeling-orientated case study
topics that include natural wetlands, constructed treatment
wetlands for pollution control, sustainable drainage systems, and
specific applications, such as wetlands treating hydrocarbon and
ammonia, as well as ecological sanitation systems recycling
treated.
Sustainable Water Treatment: Engineering Solutions for a Variable
Climate covers sustainable water and environmental engineering
aspects relevant for the drainage and treatment of storm water and
wastewater. The book explains the fundamental science and
engineering principles for the student and professional market.
Standard and novel design recommendations for sustainable
technologies, such as constructed wetlands, sustainable drainage
systems and sustainable flood retention basins are provided to
account for the interests of professional engineers and
environmental scientists. The book presents the latest research
findings in wastewater treatment and runoff control that are ideal
for academics and senior consultants. The book offers a
challenging, diverse, holistic, multidisciplinary, experimental and
modelling-orientated case study, covering topics such as natural
wetlands, constructed treatment wetlands for pollution control,
sustainable drainage systems managing diffuse pollution, specific
applications, such as wetlands treating dye wastewater and
ecological sanitation systems recycling treated waters for the
irrigation of crops.
