Sustainable Water Treatment and Management

Sustainable Water Treatment and Management covers broad water and environmental engineering aspects relevant to water resources management as well as the treatment of storm water and wastewater. It provides a descriptive overview of complex 'black box' systems and related design issues and comprehensively discusses the design, operation, maintenance, as well as water quality monitoring and modelling of traditional and novel wetland systems. Further, it provides an analysis of asset performance, the modelling of treatment processes and the performance of existing infrastructure in both developed and developing countries as well as the sustainability and economic issues involved. The book serves as a useful reference for all concerned with the built environment, including town planners, developers, engineering technicians, water and agricultural engineers and public health workers. Features: Presents the latest research findings in wastewater treatment. Includes international case studies and multi-disciplinary research projects. Explains treatment options that are applicable to any and all climatic regions.
