Technological Solutions for Water Sustainability: Challenges and Prospects
India is soon to become the most populous nation in the world. Also, it is projected that by 2050, more than 800 million people will live in urban areas in India. As the resources are limited, expanding cities have been facing severe crises concerning the pollution of water bodies, the increasing gap between the demand and supply of domestic water, and the widening chasm between the amount of wastewater generated and the installed capacity of wastewater treatment plants. Challenges are also posed by lack of space, monitoring and data acquisition on water quality and quantity, appropriate and sustainable technologies, and vulnerability to climate change. Moreover, the existing infrastructure is aged and dilapidated, urging immediate attention.

Anaerobic Treatment of Domestic Wastewater (Present Status and Potentialities)
The book presents the state of knowledge and the future perspectives of anaerobic processes applied as mainstream treatment of domestic wastewater, which in the last few decades, due to the development of effective technologies such as the high-rate bioreactors, became competitive with the conventional aerobic process even in moderate climatic regions. The book consists of 12 chapters covering the main aspects related to the anaerobic treatment
of domestic wastewater including engineering, microbiology, process monitoring and control, sustainability derived by energy and resource recovery, life-cycle assessment, and techno-economic analysis. Effective technologies namely upflow anaerobic sludge blanket bioreactors, membrane bioreactors, and granular and immobilized biomass systems, potentially able to achieve removal performance of high organics even at low temperatures, are presented in detail, and their status of application is reported.
