Water is the next oil over which nations will fight wars. Severe water shortages already affect some 450 million people living in 29 countries, and analysts have predicted that tensions over water rights in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East could explode into violent clahses and even full-blown wars if governments do not manage existing water supplies more efficiently. Worldwide, 220 river basins are shared by two or more countries and the tensions caused by water scarcity will escalate in this century---the water shortage problems will be exacerbated by global warming and its associated unpredicatable weather patterns. In 2001, the CIA predicted that by 2015, almost half of the world?s population, more than 3 billion people, will live in "water-stressed"countries. How can communities that don't have millions of dollars to hire multinational engineering companies to build highly advanced (but also highly energy and chemical intensive) water- and wastewater-treatment systems? This book is full of practical, low-cost, effective, ecological and economically sustainable, environmental friendly solutions for communities. In the 762 pages (with 185 diagrams and 910 photographs), readers will be introduced to many types of ecologically designed and engineered water- and wastewater-treatment systems, which communities can build with locally available labor, expertise, and resources.

Selected proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Wetland Systems for Water Pollution Control, held in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA, 11-16 November 2000. Wetlands are now considered as a widely applicable low-cost alternative for treating municipal, industrial and agricultural effluents. Increasing numbers of wetland projects have come into operation over the last decade, notably those in Florida. IWA's 7th Wetlands conference provided a forum for the synthesis and interpretation of the current status of treatment wetlands. The conference reflected the interdisciplinary nature of the topic, with a diversity of delegates from scientific and engineering disciplines contributing. It addressed research information on current understanding of treatment wetlands, and the need to transfer basic research information to managers involved in solving applied problems; and identified future directions for design and management of treatment wetlands. From a very large programme (of over 200 oral and poster presentations), 86 papers have been selected for these proceedings. As well as authoritative keynote presentations, there are papers on: phosphorus removal and transformations; nitrogen removal and transformations; pathogen removal; optimisation and modelling; ecological considerations; subsurface flow wetlands; surface flow wetlands; industrial wastewaters; agricultural wastewaters; and stormwater. They constitute an outstanding summary of our current knowledge of wetland systems in management of the water environment.

Deals with the problem of eutrophication of lakes and reservoirs by looking at its origin, consequences, solutions, and prognosis. The book first considers environmental causes, social and cultural aspects, and new strategies for policy, institutional and regulatory frameworks. It then deals with the importance of public awareness and education, and describes possible economic impacts, technological solutions, and management arrangements. Examples from different countries and ecosystems are included. The index does not cite page numbers. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
