This volume focuses on practical aspects of sustainable water
management in urban areas and presents a discussion of key
concepts, methodologies, and case studies of innovative and
evolving technologies. Topics include: (1) challenges in urban
water resiliency; (2) water and energy nexus; (3) integrated urban
water management; and (4) water reuse options (black water, gray
water, rainwater). This volume serves as a useful reference for
students and researchers involved in holistic approaches to water
management, and as a valuable guide to experts in governmental
agencies as well as planners and engineers concerned with
sustainable water management systems in urban environments.
This volume offers concepts, methods and case studies of innovative
and evolving technologies in the area of watershed assessment.
Topics discussed include: (1) Development and applications of
geospatial, satellite imagery and remote sensing technologies for
land monitoring; (2) Development and applications of satellite
imagery for monitoring inland water quality; (3) Development and
applications of water sensor technologies for real-time monitoring
of water quantity and quality; and (4) Advances in biological
monitoring and microbial source tracking technologies. This book
will be of interest to graduate students and researchers involved
in watershed science and environmental studies. Equally, it will
serve as a valuable guide to experts in government agencies who are
concerned with water-availability and water-quality issues, and
engineers and other professionals involved in the design of land-
and water-monitoring systems.
This book documents innovative approaches for integrating green
technologies and decentralized water infrastructure. The two major
components of green decentralized water infrastructure are: (1)
using locally available alternative water sources (rainwater,
greywater, and brackish/saltwater) (at multiple scales, e.g., a
single building to a neighborhood community level); and (2) using
renewable energy resources (solar, wind, biomass, geothermal,
other). Chapter 1, introduces the concept and framework of green
decentralized water infrastructure. The subsequent nine chapters
give a detailed description of global case studies, and discuss
significant components of the green decentralized water
infrastructure and the challenges. The chapters document global
case studies and prospects (chapters 1-7) followed by challenges
facing decentralized water infrastructure (chapters 8-10). The book
will provide a cross-disciplinary knowledge-base for smart &
futuristic water management in urban settings and a significant
opportunity for sharing smart and decentralized water technologies
at the global level
