Did you know that watching your favourite series on tv or just
switching on your laptop for work, requires indirect water
consumption? It's a proven fact that every time we use energy
resources, water is also consumed. In the next few decades, global
water and energy demands will increase significantly, but at this
time there isn't a lot of information on expected global changes.
The Water Research Institute (WRI) estimates that around 33
countries will experience very high water stress by 2040. Which
means that as water scarcity rises due to rapid population growth,
climate change and water deterioration, the global demand for pure
water will also increase. We hope this book will help answer some
of the challenges. The 13 chapters of this book were selected from
multiple disciplines which focused on the state-of-the-art
technologies in the field of environmental applications. These
include technical-economic aspects of chemical precipitation;
different substrates and concentrations of double chamber microbial
fuel cells; the impact of pre-treatment on COD from paper industry
wastewater; the synthesis of PES/Go-SiO2 mixed matrix membranes;
predictions of a wastewater treatment plants performance of
aeration demands; the performance of hydrological models for green
roofs; short-term flexibility for energy grids from wastewater
treatment plants; an integrated platform between water-energy-nexus
and a business model for sustainable development;
resilience-informed decision making in critical infrastructure
networks. In Focus - a book series that showcases the latest
accomplishments in water research. Each book focuses on a
specialist area with papers from top experts in the field. It aims
to be a vehicle for in-depth understanding and inspire further
conversations in the sector.
