Product Detail

In response to a coming worldwide water crisis predicted by many experts, Reinventing Water and Wastewater Systems presents practical solutions for making drinking water more affordable and available and strategies for improving water sanitation to satisfy the demands of a growing population.

Through extensive data and case histories, this book demonstrates the potential success of privatizing water delivery and wastewater treatment facilities. In addition, it provides examples of state-of-the-art techniques for achieving higher efficiencies in water infrastructure facilities through reengineering, improved technologies, and quality benchmarking.

Contributed chapters are provided by leading global engineers and economists. This is a constructive volume for civil engineers working in water and wastewater, urban and regional planners, environmental engineers, government administrators, and financial institutions involved with underwriting major water/wastewater improvement projects.
