Advances in Drinking Water Purification: Small Systems and Emerging Issues

Advances in Drinking Water Purification: Small Systems and Emerging Issues captures the knowledge and impact on the performance of various types of water purification systems and identities the need for further development with a view to carry forward the SDG global targets of achieving safe and affordable drinking water for all. The book bridges the knowledge/information gap between various types of treatability options which is essential for selection of suitable treatment system and augmentation in the desirable levels of specific contaminants in drinking water thereby achieving the targeted and planned outcomes. It focuses on providing the scope of selecting location specific technology options by presenting multiple approaches for treatment of most crucial toxic contaminants/pathogens in source water. It provides an insight into the effect of nature of impurities and selection of treatment options on the global quality of drinking water, comprising its possible impacts on the efficiency of the techniques used and thus on the safety of drinking water. This information is indispensable in identifying the appropriate technology depending on the socio-economic conditions to address the problem of decontamination in drinking water. Discusses point-of-use devices for the removal of organic and inorganic contaminants from drinking water Provides a multi-pronged approach to encourage, recognize, protect and commercialize available options for water purification Includes case studies for field testing/pilot trials Provides an in-depth analysis on the efficacy of small systems with an emphasis on the sustainability, socio-technical aspects and emerging issues INDICE: Section I : Introduction 1.
