Metals in Water: Global Sources, Significance, and Treatment covers metal pollution in water, where they come from, their effects, and remediation processes. Sections overview heavy metals pollution, including their global health impacts and remediation measures. Geogenic and anthropogenic input of heavy metals in water are described, along with global case studies, step-by-step methods on remediation techniques, different detection sensors, and assessment practices of toxicity of heavy metals. The book focuses on recent research surrounding heavy metals' contamination in water resources and its impact across the globe. Chapters incorporate both theoretical and practical aspects and serve as baseline information for water resources studies.

This book is useful for postgraduate students, teachers and researchers working in areas of water resources and pollution, hydrochemistry, environmental remediation and toxicology who are looking to understand the affects metals have on water, the environment and health, and also those looking for methods for remediation.

Presents global case studies of sites contaminated by metals, effects on the environment, and successful remediation techniques Includes a whole section on remedial measures, with clear step-by-step "how to" guides Provides chapters covering detailed biogeochemical processes

Presents a framework for understanding and managing global water scarcity Global Water Scarcity: Causes, Impacts, and Management Strategies explores the factors driving water shortages across the world while presenting actionable strategies for sustainable water management. Bringing together technical, ecological, and socioeconomic perspectives, this edited volume examines both the natural and human-induced causes of scarcity and outlines adaptive approaches to achieve global water security. Expert contributors draw on case studies and the latest research to highlight diverse management strategies—ranging from desalination technologies and aquifer recharge to the restoration of aquatic ecosystems and rainwater harvesting. In-depth chapters address critical topics such as groundwater depletion, geogenic contamination, and the socioeconomic implications of water stress. Providing readers with an understanding of the interconnected systems that shape global water availability, Global Water Scarcity: Highlights innovative solutions such as desalination, aquifer recharge, and ecosystem restorationExamines socioeconomic and governance dimensions of water resource managementDiscusses emerging contaminants and their implications for water quality and securityOffers geospatial approaches for assessing, monitoring, and managing groundwater resourcesUnderscores the importance of aligning water management practices with the UN Sustainable Development GoalsGlobal Water Scarcity: Causes, Impacts, and Management Strategies is essential reading for researchers in environmental science, hydrology, and water resource management courses, as well as professionals working in environmental policy, sustainable development, and civil or environmental engineering.
