Sustainable Water Treatment: Engineering Solutions for a Variable Climate

Sustainable Water Treatment 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. Latest research findings in wastewater treatment and runoff control are discussed to attract academics and senior consultants.

The book offers a challenging, diverse, holistic, multi-disciplinary, 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 as well as ecological sanitation systems recycling treated waters for irrigation of crops.
