Rational Design of Next-generation Nanomaterials and Nanodevices for Water Applications
Despite the fact that nanotechnology has been present for a few decades, there is a big gap between what nanotechnology is perceived and what nanotechnology can truly offer in all sectors of water. The question to be answered is _x0018_what more can we expect from nanotechnology_x0019_ in the water field? The rational nano-design starts with well-defined problem definitions, necessitates interdisciplinary approaches, involves ...

In-Situ Remediation of Arsenic-Contaminated Sites
This textbook provides an introduction, the scientific background, case studies and future perspectives of in-situ arsenic remediation technologies for soils, soil water and groundwater at geogenic and anthropogenic contaminated sites. The case studies present in-situ technologies about natural arsenic, specifically arsenate and arsenite, but also about organic arsenic compounds. The book covers geochemical, microbiological and plant ecological ...

Research Digest - Infiltration vs. Surface Water Discharge: Guidance for Stormwater Managers
Urban stormwater runoff contributes to the degradation of receiving surface waters and groundwater. This degradation is caused both by the increased flows that result from urbanization (i.e., the conversion of land surfaces from being infiltration zones to impervious zones) and by the pollutants (chemical and microbiological) that are carried by runoff. Stormwater management aims to address these problems. It is a fundamental component of site ...
