This volume addresses the situation of water and wastewater management from a global angle, underpinned by selected case studies. Without doubt, water and wastewater management are among the greatest challenges of our century, and there is also no doubt that the challenges posed by climate change will become even greater. However, most efforts, especially in developing countries but also in the so-called developed countries, have been less than optimal or not optimal at all. In particular, there are still too many people who have to live without clean water and decent sanitation. Today, 2.2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water and wastewater, and 4.2 billion people lack safely managed sanitation services. The question, why this is so and why in many cases in developing countries, is discussed in this book among other urgent water and wastewater management issues.The publication of this book is the start of a book series that inmore detail critically reviews, discusses, and analyzes the water and wastewater situation and management in different regions and countries worldwide.

This book titled “Agricultural Water Management” offers a comprehensive exploration of the principles, strategies, and technologies involved in efficiently managing water resources within agricultural systems. This book delves into various aspects of irrigation, water conservation techniques, and sustainable practices that are crucial for addressing global water scarcity issues in farming. It provides an in-depth analysis of water use efficiency, crop water requirements, and the impact of climate change on agricultural water supply. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical insights, this book serves as an essential resource for researchers, students, and professionals in the field of agriculture, environmental science, and water management, aiming to promote sustainable farming practices that ensure food security and ecological balance.

Am Ende einer jeden Entsorgungskette steht die Deponie. Da Standorte rur Deponien knapp sind und weil in alten Ablagerungen noch Wertstoffe enthalten sein können, wird zunehmend erwogen, alte Ablagerungen wieder aufzunehmen. Es ist dabei zunächst das Ziel, die Abfallmasse zu reduzieren, zu inertisieren und höchstverdichtet wieder abzulagern, um so neuen Deponieraum zu gewinnen. Wissenschaftliche und technische Grundlagen rur eine derartige Vorgehensweise sind noch wenig erarbeitet worden. Von der Volkswagen-Stiftung ist deshalb hierzu ein Forschungsantrag von vier Instituten der Technischen Universität Braunschweig bewilligt worden, aufgrund dessen die zugehörigen Arbeiten von 1992 bis 1994 finanziert wurden. Die wesentlichen Ergebnisse des Abschlußberichtes von 1995 sollen hier publiziert werden. Im Namen aller Antragsteller bedanke ich mich bei der Volkswagen-Stiftung rur diese Förderung und rur die unkomplizierte und sehr effektive Zusammenarbeit. Besonders danken wir Herrn Dr. Hofvon der Volkswagen-Stiftung, der uns jeder­ zeit engagiert beraten und im Sinne eines zügigen Projektablaufes geholfen hat. Sehr dankbar sind wir auch dem Stadtreinigungsamt der Stadt Braunschweig und seinem Leiter, Herrn Dipl.-Ing. Bode, rur die Möglichkeit, die Versuche auf der Deponie Braunschweig-Watenbüttel durchfuhren zu können. Herzlich danken wir Herrn S charringhau sen, der uns im alltäglichen Versuchsablauf tatkräftig unter­ stützt hat. Ohne alle diese verborgenen Unterstützungen hätten wir das Projekt nicht in der vorliegenden Form realisieren können.

Die vollständig überarbeitete und aktualisierte Neuauflage des Springer-Umweltlexikons behandelt die wichtigsten Sachgebiete der Umweltwissenschaft und die Methoden und Konzepte der Ökosystemforschung. Den wichtigsten Teil des Lexikons bildet die Beschreibung des Verhaltens von chemischen Verbindungen in der Umwelt, die Beschreibung der vielfältigen Wechselwirkungen zwischen den chemischen Verbindungen und der belebten und unbelebten Natur. Darüber hinaus werden Methoden vorgestellt, die der Erforschung des Verhaltens von Chemikalien in der Umwelt dienen, und es werden verschiedene Konzepte zur Bewertung der potentiellen Gefährlichkeit von Chemikalien für die Umwelt besprochen.

In rund 9000 Stichworten umfaßt das Umweltlexikon die 100 wichtigsten Sachgebiete der Umweltwissenschaft sowie die Methoden und Konzepte der Ökosystemforschung. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Ökotoxikologie. Das Verhalten von chemischen Verbindungen in der Umwelt, die vielfältigen Wechselwirkungen zwischen den chemischen Verbindungen und der belebten und unbelebten Natur werden ebenso aufgeführt wie die Methoden zur Erforschung des Verhaltens von Chemikalien in der Umwelt. Konzepte zur Bewertung der potentiellen Gefährlichkeit von Chemikalien für die Umwelt runden das Themenspektrum ab.
