Water Management and Circular Economy

Water Management and Circular Economy covers the role of water in the mainstream dimensions of society, economy, environment/ecology, and technology among both developed and fast emerging economies. Along with the under conceptualization of Circular Economy (CE) the book will cover the role of recycling and reusing the, otherwise (in linear economy terms), lost sources of waste, gray, or untapped water sources towards a second round of utility. Water Management and Circular Economy bridges the gap between the water inflows in Nature, with the whole wide spectrum of its potential applications in humanity. It covers the water inflows, the direct and indirect entities that are conceptualized as outflows? including water (in a tapped and controlled manner), energy, products and services to urban, suburban, rural and insular contexts of analysis. As such, this content will be important reading for Water Scientists, Water Managers, and civil engineers. Includes real-world applications and case studies to show how these policies can be adopted Presents global coverage, with a diverse list of contributors - all of which are experts in the field Showcases a multidisciplinary approach with editors from environmental and managerial backgrounds- helping to cross the bridge between social and science INDICE: 1.
