In the face of intensifying stresses such as climate change, rapid urban population growth, land use change, and public concern with rates and use restrictions, water management is becoming increas

The sustainability of urban water systems is often compared in small numbers of cases selected as much for their familiarity as for their similarities and differences.

Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) infrastructure are conventionally designed based on historical climate data.

Ensuring future water security requires broad community support for changes in policy, practice, and technology, such as those involved in delivering alternative water schemes.

Low-cost by-products from agricultural, household and industrial sectors have been recognized as a sustainable solution for wastewater treatment.

Supports SDG 6 by discussing the application of colloid and surface chemistry in water and wastewater treatment- the only book of its kind to do this.

Membrane (bio)fouling is a major obstacle to many separation and purification processes.
