"Water Treatment" ed. by Walid Elshorbagy and Rezaul Kabir Chowdhury

This book covers a number of water treatment issues relevant to either improving the common traditional treatment methods or to new advanced and innovative approaches.

Economic development, population growth, and environmental pollution evolving in many parts of the world are placing great demands on existing resources of fresh water and reflecting a "water crisis". Resource management, efficient utilization of the water resources, and above all water purification are all alternatives to resolve the water crisis. Purification approaches include traditional approaches that have lasted for several centuries without major modifications as well as new innovative approaches.
