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)

This book comprises select proceedings of the International Conference on Emerging Technologies for Farming – Energy & Environment – Water (ITsFEW 2018). The contents are divided into three parts viz., (i) Developments in Farming, (ii) Energy and Environment, and (iii) Water Conservation and Management. The book aims to provide timely solutions, using innovative and emerging technologies, to the global challenges in agriculture, energy, environment, and water management. Some of the topics covered in this book include remote sensing for smart farming, GIS, irrigation engineering, soil science and agronomy, smart grids, renewable energy, energy management systems, energy storage technologies, biological water treatment, industrial waste water treatment, watershed management and sustainability. Given the wide range of topics discussed, the book will be very useful for students, researchers and practitioners interested in agricultural and environmental engineering.
