Exponential growth in population and improved standards of living
demand increasing amount of freshwater and are putting serious
strain on the quantity of naturally available freshwater worldwide.
Water Management: Social and Technological Perspectives discusses
developments in energy-efficient water production, management,
wastewater treatment, and social and political aspects related to
water management and re-use of treated water. It features a
scientific and technological perspective to meeting current and
future needs, discussing such technologies as membrane separation
using reverse osmosis, the use of nanoparticles for adsorption of
impurities from wastewater, and the use of thermal methods for
desalination. The book also discusses increasing the efficiency of
water usage in industrial, agricultural, and domestic applications
to ensure a sustainable system of water production, usage, and
recycling. With 30 chapters authored by internationally renowned
experts, this work offers readers a comprehensive view of both
social and technological outlooks to help solve this global issue.

It is quite obvious that as long as man uses resources, wastes are
inevitable. And when wastes accommodate beyond a certain limit, it
becomes impossible for natural processes in the ecosystem to harbor
them. This book primarily focuses on the way to turn wastes into
wealth by converting those wastes into useful products such as
briquettes. Very simple and illustrative ways to make the
briquettes were also brought so as to make the easier ways of its
production known to people especially in the underdeveloped world.
To the populace who cares about making our environment better
through the conversion of the wastes being generated in our mundane
activities such as papers, saw-dusts etc into useful products, I
will recommend this as a handbook.
