Ravi NaiduCentre for Environmental Risk Assessment and Remediation, University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes

Volker BirkeFaculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Campus Suderburg, Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences Braunschweig-Wolfenbuttel, GermanySeries: Advances in Trace Elements in the Environment

Remediation of groundwater is complex and often challenging. The passive remediation technology, currently in vogue, is based on permeable reactive barriers (PRB) that allow water to pass through while the fence/barrier made of reactive materials remediates the contaminants. Although PRB has been in operation for over a decade, there are limited published books available. This book covers in one single volume all the information needed to plan, design/model, and apply a successful, cost-effective, and sustainable PRB technology.

Groundwater response to global changes is a complex function that depends on climate change and variability, topography, aquifer characteristics, vegetation dynamics, and human activities. This book synthesizes the current state of knowledge, methodologies, and scientific approaches for assessing climate change effects on groundwater resources. The findings and recommendations presented in this book are based on a selection of representative case study results carried out on a global scale. The book includes a set of policy-relevant recommendations that go beyond the presentation of purely scientific results.

Adsorptive Removal of Heavy Metals from Groundwater by Iron Oxide Based AdsorbentsValentine UwamariyaUNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands

Groundwater source might be contaminated by several substances. Chemical precipitation and other methods become inefficient and the process of adsorption is one of the few alternatives available if groundwater is contaminated by heavy metals. This book describes the adsorption method in the removal of selected heavy metals using iron oxide coated sand (IOCS) and granular ferric hydroxide (GFH). The effects of pH, natural organic matter (fulvic acid (FA), and interfering ions (PO43-, Ca2+) on the adsorption efficiency were also assessed.

This text contributes to the knowledge base of the research field of (micro and small sized enterprises) McSEs in the sense that it has constituted a paradigm shift based on the recognition that empowered marginalized groups can make a difference in their own contexts. It adds value to the research field of cleaner production (CP) in the context of McSEs in developing countries and has methodological implications for the social sciences.


Agricultural Water Productivity Optimization for Irrigated Teff (Eragrostic Tef) in a Water Scarce Semi-Arid Region of EthiopiaYenesew Mengiste YihunUNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands

Research has demonstrated the potential and the limitations of combining experimental fieldwork with modelling to optimize agricultural water productivity for Teff cultivation. Focusing on only experimental fieldwork is a single approach and is hardly ever sufficient for achieving the best solutions to the current water management problems. New guidelines on using the combined effort of experimental work in the field to produce field experimental data and using models are clearly needed. This text focuses on the required increase of Teff production under water scarce conditions.


Treatment WetlandsSecond EditionRobert H. KadlecWetland Management Services, Chelsea, Michigan, USA

Scott WallaceSantec, Minnesota, USA

Completely revised and updated, this text is still the most comprehensive resource available for planning, designing, and operating wetland treatment systems. It provides engineers and scientists with a complete reference source that includes detailed information on wetland ecology, design for consistent performance, site specific studies, estimated costs, construction guidance, and operational control through effective monitoring. Case histories of operational wetland treatment systems illustrate the variety of design approaches presented, allowing readers to tailor them to the needs of their projects.

LimnologyJose Galizia Tundisi and Takako Matsumura TundisiInternational Institute of Ecology, Sao Paulo, Brazil

Limnology provides an in-depth and current overview of the field of limnology. The result of a major tour de force by two renowned and experienced experts, this unique and richly illustrated reference presents a wealth of data on limnology history, water as a substrate, lakes’ origins, and aquatic biota. Besides a general part, it gives special focus to neotropical limnology, which is prevalently applicable in countries in the Southern Hemisphere.

Advances in Control and Automation of Water SystemsEdited by

Kaveh Hariri Asli, Faig Bakhman Ogli Naghiyev, Reza Khodaparast Haghi, and Hossien Hariri Asli

Computers are used to perform the millions of calculations required to simulate the interaction of liquids and gases with surfaces defined by boundary conditions. This new book presents topical research in the study of control and automation of water systems. The editors use the simulation of a water hammer (or fluid hammer) as the basis for demonstrating computational techniques used for the processing and automation of water systems.


Applications of Environmental Aquatic ChemistryA Practical Guide, Third EditionEugene R. WeinerProfessor Emeritus, University of Denver, Colorado, USA

This edition provides the essential background for understanding and solving environmental chemistry problems that arise frequently. Aimed to help professionals deal with topical issues related to environmental chemistry, this book can also be used by students to gain a general understanding of the types of problems and applications involved with environmental science. Several new chapters are included, covering topics such as algae growth, stormwater management, and wetlands. New case histories are also included. In addition, the revised text also provides more end-of-chapter questions and answers.


Water Hammer ResearchAdvances in Nonlinear Dynamics ModelingKaveh Hariri AsliNational Academy of Science of Azerbaijan (AMEA), Baku

This book provides a broad understanding of the main computational techniques used for water hammer research in water systems. It introduces the theoretical background for a number of techniques. It considers general data analysis techniques and examines the application of techniques in an industrial setting, including current practices and current research. In addition, the book also provides practical experience of commercially available systems and includes small-scale water systems related projects.


Algal Blooms and Membrane Based Desalination TechnologyLoreen Ople VillacorteUNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands

This book addresses the need to study algal blooms and their impact on the operation of UF pre-treatment and SWRO systems. Theoretical and experimental studies were performed to characterize the properties and fouling propensity of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) released by bloom-forming algae. The book explores a method that was developed and applied to measure TEP down to 10 kDa size and to assess the effectiveness of various pre-treatment processes in 5 RO plants.
