Water Science

This thesis has contributed to the knowledge base of the research field of (micro and small sized enterprises) McSEs in the sense that it has constituted a paradigm shift based in the recognition that empowered marginalized groups can make a difference in their own contexts, has added value to the r..

Hidden problems, buried deep in the pipe networks of water distribution systems, are very serious potential threats to water quality. Microbial Quality of Water Supply in Distribution Systems outlines the processes and issues related to water quality in networks of pipes, storage reservoirs, and sta..

Illiustrated with over 60 tables and figures, Microbiology of Well Biofouling addresses the events that cause deterioration in all types of wells. The book also discusses the generation of mass that can interfere with the physical functioning of a well in the field. With this guide, the reader will ..

This comprehensive work integrates knowledge from physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, geology, engineering, and several other fields. Its purpose is to provide solution methods, techniques of parameter estimation, and tools for solving the complex problems of mathematical modeling..

Groundwater is increasingly subjected to excessive over-exploitation and contamination in many parts of the world. It faces the challenge of balancing its multiple functions in a sustainable manner. This thesis explores several specific problems related to contaminant migration, groundwater-surface ..

An integral approach to the relation of urbanism and water management in Dutch water cities and to adjustments necessary to upgrade water management systems to the requirements imposed by a changing amount or precipitation and by changing function, technology and scale of urban areas. Separate chapt..

Referenced and illustrated with over 860 literature citations, drawings, and tables, Multilayered Aquifer Systems: Fundamentals and Applications offers a systematic and unified approach to the classical theories and recent techniques of multilayered aquifer systems. The author clarifies governing pr..

Estuaries are natural highly dynamic and rapidly changing systems, comprising a complex combination of physical processes on many different time- and space- scales. The research conducted a systematic study on the topic of fine sediment physical processes in a meso-tidal convergent alluvial estuary...

This revised and updated edition of the bestselling Municipal Stormwater Management covers all aspects of municipal stormwater management, from planning and institutional concerns to technical design considerations. The authors focus on public awareness, ordinances and regulations, financing, master..

This work showed two possible approaches to optimize biological sulphate reduction: a) the development of a control strategy to optimize the input of the electron donor taking into account the accumulation of microbial storage products. A validated mathematical model is presented to assist in the su..

The book discusses developing various types of photocatalytic semiconductors and their modification by metallization, sensitization, and doping to enhance photocatalytic activities. It describes the principles and mechanisms of photocatalysis and other possible applications of photocatalysis such as..

This excellent book is ideal for everyone in the water treatment field, including water treatment managers, operators, supervisors, consultants, laboratories, and regulators. The vast amount of information, the practical approach, and the thoroughness make this a widely used reference...
