The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry - 47: Sustainable Water Management in Urban Environments

Thisvolume focuses on practical aspects of sustainable water management in urbanareas and presents a discussion of key concepts, methodologies, and casestudies of innovative and evolving technologies. Topics include: (1) challengesin urban water resiliency; (2) water and energy nexus; (3) integrated urbanwater management; and (4) water reuse options (black water, gray water,rainwater). This volume serves as a useful reference for students andresearchers involved in holistic approaches to water management, and as avaluable guide to experts in governmental agencies as well as planners andengineers concerned with sustainable water management systems in urbanenvironments.
