| Publisher Description: Drinking water availability and safety is a major challenge faced globally and is highly pronounced in developing countries worldwide. This book shines a light on drinking water treatment methods and scale of operation specifically for the developing regions. Covering both conventional and emerging treatment technologies, the authors discuss the removal of chemical, physical and biological pollutants from drinking water, with a focus on developing countries. Conservation by rainwater harvesting, wastewater reuse, and selection criteria of feasible methods are considered in the context of issues relevant to Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. With case studies connecting theory to real world matters, showcasing efficiencies and drawbacks, this book is ideal for graduate and postgraduate level course use in engineering departments or for self-study and research. |
