This book describes concepts, value judgments and background information on the expanding conservation tillage practices in the United States and provides a technical appraisal of the state of the art...

Groundwater source might be contaminated by several substances. Chemical precipitation and other methods become inefficient and the process of adsorption is one of the few alternatives available if groundwater is contaminated by heavy metals. This book describes the adsorption method in the removal ..

Drawing on the authors' combined experience of more than 30 years, this book explores technologies that can be used to solve problems associated with conventional septic tank and drain field systems. The authors discuss a regulatory and management infrastructure that could ensure long-term, reliable..

Used in the production of a wide number of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals, the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction represents a synthetic process of great interest to organic chemists of academia and industry. This book focuses on how to make this reaction more economically and environmentally fri..

The research has demonstrated the potential and the limitations of combining experimental fieldwork with modelling to optimize agricultural water productivity for Teff cultivation. Focusing on only experimental fieldwork is a single approach, and is hardly ever sufficient for achieving the best solu..

This thesis addresses the need to study algal blooms and their impact on the operation of UF pre-treatment and SWRO systems. Theoretical and experimental studies were performed to characterise the properties and fouling propensity of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) released by bloom-forming a..

This study describes the development of water management in Bangladesh and reports on the status of the flood control and drainage schemes. The general aim is to develop an approach for the sustainable development and water management of such proj.....

With many worked examples, this book provides a step-by-step training manual for water treatment calculations. It presents all the fundamental math concepts and skills needed for daily water treatment plant operations. The text covers volume, flow and velocity, milligrams per liter to pounds per day..
