Sustainable Water Treatment: Engineering Solutions for a Variable Climate
covers sustainable water and environmental engineering aspects relevant
for the drainage and treatment of storm water and wastewater. The book
explains the fundamental science and engineering principles for the
student and professional market. Standard and novel design
recommendations for sustainable technologies, such as constructed
wetlands, sustainable drainage systems and sustainable flood retention
basins are provided to account for the interests of professional
engineers and environmental scientists. The book presents the latest
research findings in wastewater treatment and runoff control that are
ideal for academics and senior consultants.
The book offers a
challenging, diverse, holistic, multidisciplinary, experimental and
modelling-orientated case study, covering topics such as natural
wetlands, constructed treatment wetlands for pollution control,
sustainable drainage systems managing diffuse pollution, specific
applications, such as wetlands treating dye wastewater and ecological
sanitation systems recycling treated waters for the irrigation of crops.
- Explains the fundamental science and engineering principles behind each topic
- Provides
an easy-to-understand, descriptive overview of complex ‘black box’
drainage and treatment systems and general design issues involved
- Includes
a comprehensive analysis of asset performance, modelling of treatment
processes, and an assessment of sustainability and economics
