It is widely known that water is becoming a scarce, precious resource for an increasing number of people. In the near future, access to quality water will be even harder for an ever growing population in a scenario characterized by environment degradation and climate change. To reduce the consequences of these threats, it is mandatory to implement efficient water management measures. This is a difficult task because adequate water management must consider administrative (socio-economic and political) actions and technological and scientific advances, as well.

This book provides an updated picture of relevant studies regarding water management around the world. The manuscripts presented here cover the three main aspects of a well-designed water management strategy mentioned above, including administrative (risk assessment, education, water use and conservation) and technological and scientific aspects (domestic and industrial water treatment, emergent pollutants, sorption, precipitation, among others). Thus, the book is highly recommended to teachers, researchers, technicians and managers dealing with water management in any of their varied components.
