WASTEWATER REUSE AND WATERSHED MANAGEMENT ENGINEERING IMPLICATIONS FOR AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY AND THE ENVIRONMENT (HB 2020) Hardcover

With the increasing global demand for clean water for agriculture, consumption, and industry, and recognizing that water is a limited resource, this book examines numerous methods for capturing, treating, and reusing the billions of tons of wastewater produced annually. It showcases new technologies and approaches for recycling and reclaiming water for agricultural, industrial, and environmental uses. The editor highlights that a significant majority (75-80%) of wastewater globally returns to the environment untreated, causing pollution and detrimental effects on health and productivity. The book covers a diverse range of research, including using molluscs to assess river health, flood risk modeling, biological removal of groundwater toxins, saltwater contamination in coastal regions, urban drainage simulations, rainwater harvesting, irrigation techniques, and more.
