Book excerpt: NOVATECH conferences are one of the most important conference series in the world on innovative technologies in urban drainage. Scientists and technicians meet over three days to share experiences from different continents, to see the most significant advances on this subject and to discover some innovative and original ideas, which are likely to be developed in the coming years. During NOVATECH '2001, nearly 130 authors presented papers and 430 people from 34 countries took part. From the papers presented, 15 papers have been selected by the international scientific committee to be published in this special issue; the authors have been allowed to enhance their paper to offer more complete information; these papers are representative of the quality and the subject of NOVATECH. The main topics developed during NOVATECH?2001 were: global strategies of stormwater management; best management practices techniques (source control, detention basin and retention / infiltration ponds); sewer systems and physical processes under wet weather conditions (hydraulic and transport of solids); treatment of urban wet weather effluents; and data acquisition, tools for studies, analysis and real time control management of drainage systems. These proceedings provide an essential reference for engineers, researchers and planners working on the problems of urban drainage and looking for new solutions.
Book Synopsis Environmental Performance and Social Inclusion in Informal Settlements by : Gabriele Masera
Download or read book Environmental Performance and Social Inclusion in Informal Settlements written by Gabriele Masera and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-18 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the potential of a systemic and multidisciplinary design approach to improve urban quality, health, livability, and inclusiveness for people living in informal settlements. In most instances, attempts to address informal settlements lack an adequate assessment of their impact on the wider built environment and implementation of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The Integrated Modification Methodology (IMM), introduced here, offers a systematic, multidisciplinary design tool encompassing several of the aspects that define the environmental performance of urban systems. The book also demonstrates the application of the methodology to an informal settlement, proving its potential to guide systemicurban transformations, also in urban areas lacking formal planning. The case study investigated is in the Rocinha favela in Rio de Janeiro, which ischaracterized by poor water quality, lack of drainage and sanitation systems, and very few green spaces. Based on a rigorous methodology, the process described here can also be applied in similar contexts around the world.
Book Synopsis Solids in Sewers by : Richard M. Ashley
Download or read book Solids in Sewers written by Richard M. Ashley and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2004-04-30 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Report presents information on the current state of knowledge of the origins, occurrence, nature and effects of sewer solids for use by engineers, scientists, administrators and water quality planners for the planning, design and operation of sewerage systems. The report addresses both sewer maintenance requirements and environmental protection issues. Increasing environmental standards, coupled with public expectations, have led to stringent water quality standards. In response to this, it has been necessary to develop new methodologies and computer based analytical techniques to model and understand the performance of all aspects of waste water systems. Fundamental to these techniques is the understanding of the way in which sewer solids contribute to the poor performance of wastewater systems and consequential environmental damage. The information presented in this Report about the origins, nature, movement, hydraulic and polluting effects of solids in sewers has enabled strategies and rules to be developed for the management of sewerage systems to minimise the deleterious effects of these solids and associated pollutants.

The forty-five papers in these proceedings have been selected from those presented at the highly successful 6th International Conference on Wetland Systems for Water Pollution Control. Six papers are invited keynote addresses, which review aspects of wetland systems from an authoritative and up-to-date perspective. The remaining papers are divided into the following themes: Industrial Wastewaters; Ecology of Microorganisms and Natural Systems; Wetland Processes; Combined Systems; Role of Plants; Design of Wetlands; Wetland Hydraulics; Hospital Wastewaters; and Stormwater and Runoff.
Book Synopsis Diffuse Pollution '98 by : Vladimir Novotny
Download or read book Diffuse Pollution '98 written by Vladimir Novotny and published by IWA Publishing (International Water Assoc). This book was released on 1999-05-31 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diffuse Pollution of surface, coastal and ground waters is a major environmental and economic problem in the world today. Unlike point source pollution, which has to some extent been controlled by developments in technology and regulation, diffuse pollution is difficult to control, requiring the application of technological and socio-economical approaches and of education. The 46 papers in these proceedings have been selected from those presented at the 3rd International Conference on Diffuse Pollution, which addressed urban and rural diffuse pollution problems and solutions as experienced in several countries. The papers are divided into five themes: Identification of sources and loads Best Management Practices Receiving water impacts Modelling diffuse pollution Watershed management. The proceedings conclude with two papers, prepared by prominent specialists, that summarise the key findings at the conference. These proceedings will prove an essential resource for all concerned, whether as researchers, regulators or practioners, with diffuse pollution and its control.

Book Synopsis Advanced Wastewater Treatment, Recycling and Reuse by : L. Bonomo
Download or read book Advanced Wastewater Treatment, Recycling and Reuse written by L. Bonomo and published by IWA Publishing (International Water Assoc). This book was released on 1999-05-31 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in wastewater treatment research and practice are leading towards sound technical approaches for producing high quality effluent from wastewater; this offers a reliable new water source for various beneficial uses, from relatively simple agricultural irrigation, to the recycling of industrial process water, to complex potable water reuse schemes. Wastewater reclamation, recycling and reuse is thus closely linked to advanced wastewater treatment. However, opportunities for adopting technological innovations in reuse are particularly significant, because reclaimed water has economic value as a water supply. Furthermore, while the disposal of treated effluent is subject to stringent pollution control measures, water reuse can permit more flexibility in water quality management for beneficial purposes. These proceedings comprise 55 selected papers from the International Conference on Advanced Wastewater Treatment, Recycling and Reuse. The range of technologies includes: advanced physico-chemical treatment; advanced biological treatment, including biological nutrient removal; disinfection problems; membrane treatment; agricultural applications and natural treatment systems; and applications in the textile and tannery industries. More importantly, the strategic approach to sustainable water resources planning and development is emphasised throughout, with wastewater reclamation, recycling and reuse being considered as a key element of water resources management.
Book Synopsis Water Quality and Its Management by : A. R. G. Rao
Download or read book Water Quality and Its Management written by A. R. G. Rao and published by IWA Publishing (International Water Assoc). This book was released on 1999-05-31 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected Proceedings of the 1st International Specialised Conference on Water Quality and its Management, held in New Dehli, India, 2-6 March 1998. Water resources development should not only ensure water supply in the right quantity at the right time but also ensure that the water is of the right quality. While drinking water must meet stringent quality standards, water quality is also important for agricultural, industrial and other uses. Increasing pollution, urbanisation and industrialisation has lead to a growing threat to water quality in rivers and lakes. Groundwater quality can also be affected as a result of the use of agrochemicals, wastewater irrigation, and salinity and landfill leachate intrusion. Such problems are often most acute in developing countries where water is short to begin with. This was the subject matter of Water Quality and its Management. From over 200 original submissions, 67 were orally presented, many of direct and practical regional relevance. After peer review, a further selection was made, of high-quality papers of significant interest to the worldwide readership of Water Science & Technology. Twenty-four of these papers are included here, categorized into the six major sub-themes of the conference: Impact of Industry and Agriculture on Water Quality Surface Water Quality Management Groundwater Contamination Issues Drinking Water Quality Management Use of Low-quality Waters and Wastewaters Water Quality Improvement Methods, Techniques and Technologies

The proceedings are introduced by 4 invited papers that examine the social, economic and ecological relationships of the forest industries and together with the concluding summary of the sessions and related panel discussion make plain the context in which the industries operate and can continue to improve their performance. The 42 selected papers cover: Process water treatment and recirculation Biological treatment Environmental effects Treatment and utilization of solids Studies of specific compounds and management of residuals and toxicity. These proceedings genuinely constitute a briefing on the state of the art and will prove invaluable to anyone involved as a researcher or a practitioner in the management of forest industry wastewaters.
Book Synopsis Microbial Ecology of Biofilms by : Bruce E. Rittmann
Download or read book Microbial Ecology of Biofilms written by Bruce E. Rittmann and published by IWA Publishing (International Water Assoc). This book was released on 1999 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biofilms are ubiquitous, yet until recently scientists and engineers involved in biofilm research or application had a severely limited insight into the structure and functioning of biofilms on a microbial level. However the past decade has seen an explosion of new techniques to elucidate the structure and functions of biofilms, e.g. molecular probes, microsensors, scanning electron microscopy, and a new generation of mathematical models. The 35 contributions selected for these proceedings after peer review reflect these developments with papers grouped into the following themes: nutrient removal systems; anaerobic systems; biofilm physical structure and aerobic water treatment; multidimensional modelling; detoxification of hazardous chemicals; and transport processes in and to the biofilm. The proceedings provide a unique panorama of the latest scientific tools, the emerging new concepts and the widespread applications that are making microbial ecology of biofilms such an exciting field. These genuinely state-of-the-art papers lay foundations for great progress in the next century.
