The 2015 International Conference on Water Resource and Environment (WRE2015) aims to provide a platform where scholars from different countries can exchange ideas, opinions and views. This book is divided into four main themes:1. Hydrology and water resources;2. Water pollution; 3. Water treatment methods, and4. Freshwater ecosystems. Exploring topics such as water-energy-food nexus, water purification solutions, chemical hydrology, south to north water diversion projects, and the aligning of water resources needs with the conservation of habitats and species, this book is of interest to professionals and academics involved in hydraulic engineering and related fields.

A practice-oriented analysis of water treatment systems using low-cost, low-maintenance technologies and sustainable water resources In Sustainable Water Systems, expert water resources researcher Miklas Scholz delivers a practice-oriented resource that comprehensively covers the design, operation, and maintenance of traditional and novel wetland systems used in water resource management. The book offers a performance analysis of existing infrastructure in constructed wetlands, soil infiltration systems, ditches, dry ponds, and silt traps in both developed and developing countries. Sustainable Water Systems addresses economic and environmental challenges, including flood retention and its incorporation into sustainable water supply systems. Readers will also find: A thorough introduction to low-cost alternatives to resource-intensive water processing plantsComprehensive explorations of effective water technologies that work well in less developed and rural regions without access to reliable water treatmentModelling of wetland systems and how to design them for optimal performancePractical discussions of industrial wastewater treatment and modellingComplete treatments of sustainable flood retention basins, including integrated constructed wetlandsPerfect for researchers, engineers, and other professionals working in the field of water resource management, Sustainable Water Systems will also benefit anyone interested in water supply engineering and wastewater treatment.
