Water that is safe to drink or to use in the preparation of food is known as drinking water. It is essential for the existence of life. Polluted water can result in infections such as cholera and typhoid. The common types of water treatment methods are filtration systems, water softeners, distillation systems and disinfection. This book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts. It elucidates ...

Water quality is increasingly becoming a concern for environmentalists. It is measured to assess if the water is safe for human consumption or for industrial use. The various parameters considered for water quality are temperature, conductivity, pH, turbidity, etc. It studies the characteristics of water, such as its chemical, physical and radiological properties. This book on water quality unravels the recent studies in this field. It is comp...

Natural water resources are the main source of the water on our planet. As we are facing a water crisis, it is important to utilize the current water resources judiciously and planning for the future as well. Natural water is rapidly depleting, and thus, new concepts and methods are required to compensate for the loss and to conserve the resources like rivers, lakes and swamps. This book will provide significant information on the challenges w...

This book provides comprehensive insights into the types of water resources and their uses. Water resources include all the sources of water present on earth. If we compare the proportion of fresh water with salty water, it appears to be negligible. Although freshwater is a renewable resource, the concentration of groundwater is depleting at much faster rate. Water pollution results in contamination of water resources. Pollutants may come from...

Water is essential for all life forms. Although it is available in abundance, portable water forms a small percentage of all the water resources available. Water management refers to the practice of managing, developing, distributing and planning optimum use of water resources. As population and pollution are increasing rapidly, judicial management of water is the need of the hour. This book traces the progress of this field and highlights som...
