Water is a finite resource, and the demand for clean water is constantly growing. Clean freshwater is needed to meet irrigation demands for agriculture, for consumption, and for industrial uses. The world produces billions of tons of wastewater every year. This volume looks at multitude of ways to capture, treat, and reuse wastewater and how to effectively manage watersheds. It presents a selection of new technologies and methods to recycle, reclaim, and reuse water for agricultural, industrial, and environmental purposes.

Key Features:
  • explores the experiences and existing methodologies in the field of reuse of wastewater
  • looks at different approaches in integrated water resources management
  • examines the issues of groundwater management and development
  • discusses saline water intrusion in coastal area
  • presents various watershed management approaches
  • includes case studies and analyses of various water management efforts
