Advanced Technologies for Water Quality Treatment and Management

by Mehraj U. Din Dar (Editor), Aamir Ishaq Shah (Editor), Shakeel Ahmad Bhat (Editor), Syed Rouhullah Ali (Editor)

Overview

This new volume explores important recent approaches and advanced techniques for the effective management and treatment of wastewater. The book provides a range of diverse techniques for achieving optimum water quality management, for restoration of water bodies, for the improvement of a circular water economy, and for effective water reuse.

Many of the new methods and technologies included in the book focus on sustainable phytoremediation techniques, such as the use of earthworms, ecological floating beds, and anaerobic biovalorization. The book also comprehensively discusses the scope of nanomaterials for wastewater treatment. Some of the least explored aspects of water quality improvement, such as use of eco-roofs, the role of remote sensing in water quality management, and biosand filters for household wastewater treatment, are discussed as well.
