Download or read book Water Purification and Management written by José Coca-Prados and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the major challenges for many Mediterranean and other countries is finding viable solutions to tackle water shortage. Some of the major water quality constraints derive from the high salinity of groundwater and from pollution sources such as: untreated domestic sewage, fertilizers and pesticides from irrigation drainage, industrial effluents, and solid waste disposal. Wastewater treatment processes involving physico-chemical and biological treatment, chemical oxidation, membrane technologies, along with methods of solids concentration and disposal are of special relevance in dealing with these problems. This volume contains selected lectures presented at the NATO ADVANCED TRAINING COURSE held in Oviedo (November 15-21, 2009) and sponsored by the NATO Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme. They cover a variety of topics from wastewater treatment methods to cleaner production strategies, as a careful management of water resources is the basis for sustainable development and to avoid potential security threats. The reader will benefit from a general view of some of the operations involved in wastewater treatment and solid concentration and disposal methods. A proper water reuse and recycling, together with efficient solid disposal, would contribute to a better use of the resources and a sustainable economic growth, particularly in many arid lands of the world.

Download or read book Changing Production Patterns written by and published by UNEP/Earthprint. This book was released on 2002 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the keys to achieving sustainable development is changing the production patterns that waste resources and emit more pollutants than our ecosystem can absorb. Reviewing case studies and experiences was not enough to implement changes. What was needed was technical and financial assistance to help companies get started. UNEP and UNIDO worked in a proactive partnership to establish the "National Cleaner Production Centres" with a hope that they would serve as a model to be replicated by other countries. The aim of this publication is to provide some guidelines to those wanting to learn from the experiences, positive or negative, of the UNIDO/UNEP National Cleaner Production Centres, so that they can move forward on their own and thus contribute towards changing production patterns in their countries.
