Wastewater Reuse and Watershed Management: Engineering Implications for Agriculture, Industry, and the Environment
About this ebook
The editor states that more than 75–80% of the wastewater we produce goes back to nature without being properly treated, leading to pollution and all sorts of negative health and productivity consequences. Topics cover a wide selection of research, including molluscs as a tool for river health assessment, flood risk modeling, biological removal of toxins from groundwater, saline water intrusion into coastal areas, urban drainage simulations, rainwater harvesting, irrigation topics, and more.
Key features:
• explores the existing methodologies in the field of reuse of wastewater
• looks at different approaches in integrated water resources management
• examines the issues of groundwater management and development
• discusses saline water intrusion in coastal areas
• presents various watershed management approaches
• includes case studies and analyses of various water management efforts
