Sustainable Water Management: Novel Treatment Technologies and Practices offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary resource that connects cutting-edge water treatment technologies with sustainable management strategies. The book covers essential information about Advanced desalination technologies (RO), forward osmosis (FO), multistage flash (MSF), membrane distillation (MD), brine valorization, and their comparative efficiency. It covers digital innovations such as Digital Twins, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and real-time data monitoring for smart water systems. By bridging the domains of environmental engineering, digital innovation, water science, and policy to support SDG -6 and global water security, this book provides a comprehensive resource.It is designed for students and researchers, practitioners, engineers, and policymakers who want to learn more about integrating emerging innovations in membrane science, desalination, electrochemical methods, and smart digital systems with climate-resilient and circular economy principles. Special emphasis is placed on low-cost, decentralized solutions for resource-limited and water-stressed regions.Covers a comprehensive spectrum of topics, including policy-driven technological shifts, circular economy approaches, climate-resilient water strategies, and the management of emerging contaminantsIncludes a holistic array of advanced and emerging treatment technologies-from sustainable desalination and anti-fouling membranes to electrochemical processes and digital innovations such as Digital Twins and IoT-enabled smart water systems-all illustrated with real-world case studiesProvides integrated frameworks for community participation, policy innovation, and global collaboration, offering actionable insights and practical examples to empower researchers in advancing water security and achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Water Security for Ecosystems: Metrics and Pathways for a Sustainable Future explores the mechanisms to support sustainable management of aquatic resources during rising global water demand, global change, and population growth. By identifying resource consumption indicators such as fishing load capacity and virtual water trade, it sets a clear framework for assessing the ecological footprint of extractive industries. It then proposes pathways to establish largescale water security via integrated aquatic resource management, water-efficient technologies, and sustainable policy intervention. Throughout, the book acknowledges the increased strain placed on global aquatic ecosystems due to unsustainable water use, extractive fisheries, agricultural practices, and more. Written by a renowned team of water resource managers, early chapters in this book define ecological footprints and explore the global policies, industries, and climate forces driving water insecurity. Central chapters explore novel and innovative water conservation techniques, advances in water resource management, and emerging technologies for sustainable water use. Final chapters explore global water policies and the role of international cooperation and propose a roadmap for minimizing aquatic ecological footprints.Supports UN SDGs through policy integration, including the UNFCCC Paris Agreement to strengthen water security and minimize ecological footprintsDefines water security concepts and provides indicators for sustainable water resource extraction and useEvaluates water surface sustainability with a new approach based on fishing load capacityPromotes sustainability via efficient water management, pollution control, and responsible consumption
