State-of-the-Art Water Reclamation and Reuse is Needed to Conserve and Manage the World’s Water Resources Sustainably
The availability and distribution of a clean and dependable water supply is widely viewed as one of the most important social, environmental, and political challenges of the 21st century. The new textbook Water Reuse: Issues, Technologies, and Applications equips water/wastewater students, engineers, scientists, and professionals with a definitive account of the latest water reclamation, recycling, and reuse theory and practice. Designed for both academic and professional use, this landmark textbook presents an integrated approach to all aspects of water reuse from public health protection to water quality criteria and regulations to advanced technology to implementation issues.
About The Book
The textbook is organized in five parts: I. Water Reuse: An Introduction; II. Health and Environmental Concerns in Water Reuse; III. Water Reuse Treatment Systems and Facilities; IV. Water Reuse Applications; V. Implementing Water Reuse. The important topics covered in this textbook include:
- In-depth coverage of water reclamation and reuse applications including illustrative case studies
- Current issues and developments in public health and environmental protection criteria, regulations, and risk management
- Review of current advanced treatment technologies, new developments, and future trends
- Special emphasis on process reliability and multiple barrier concepts
- Utilization of satellite and decentralized facilities in water reuse systems
- Planning and implementation issues in developing water reuse programs
