Water Engineering

For decades now we have wasted and mismanaged the world's water supplies. This book examines the economic, ecological and political factors affecting fresh water supply. It emphasises that the technology and know-how for effective water husbandry does exist. It shows how investing in water efficienc..

Aims at an understanding of the Sudd hydrology in relation to the regional hydroclimatology. This study compares two regional climate model scenarios: the climatology, and a drained Sudd scenario to study the impact of the Sudd wetland on the Nile hydroclimatology...

This book examines the structure, synthesis, properties, and applications of adsorbents, catalysts, ion exchangers and conductors, and permeable porous and dense materials. Examples of these important materials include perovskites, zeolites, mesoporous molecular sieves, carbon nanotubes, titanium di..

This book considers the shape and future direction of struggles for the right to water in a range of political, geographic and socio-economics contexts, seeking to be pro-active in defining what this struggle could mean and how it might be taken forward in a far broader transformative politics...

The water footprint concept can be used to quantify water use as related to the production of commercial goods. This book shows how consumption relates to water use and illustrates how the water footprint can ultimately be used as a tool to reduce water use. The book raises the issue of sustainable ..

Summarizing tracing techniques in geohydrology, this book contains chapters written by specialists in the fields of geology, hydrology, chemistry, virology, engineering and isotopes. The accompanying CD aids the analysis of tracing test data...

Wastewater infiltrating into the soil, may contaminate groundwater. If the distance from source of pollution to point of groundwater abstraction is small, there is a real chance of abstracting pathogenic microorganisms. This study evaluates the importance of bacteria transport processes...

This book examines the occurrence of hyper-exponential deposition of E. coli, and important indicator of fecal contamination, and the causes of such behavior. The starting point is the well known colloid filtration theory, followed by straining or physical sieving, geochemical heterogeneity, variabl..

Completely revised and updated, Treatment Wetlands, Second Edition is still the most comprehensive resource available for planning, designing, and operating wetland treatment systems. It provides engineers and scientists with a complete reference source that includes: detailed information on wetland..

With the increased use of alternative irrigation water sources on turfgrass and landscape sites, their management is becoming more complex and whole ecosystems-oriented. This book provides a comprehensive, science-based understanding of irrigation water quality. The text confronts each challenge ass..
