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.

Detection and Treatment of Emerging Contaminants in Wastewater
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we present this comprehensive book, Detection and Treatment of Emerging Contaminants in Wastewater, which delves into the critical challenges posed by emerging contaminants in wastewater and explores innovative detection and treatment methods. Wastewater management has always been a matter of paramount importance for the preservation of our green environment and the well-being of society. However, with the rampant advancements in industrial and technological sectors, new contaminants have emerged, presenting unprecedented challenges for conventional wastewater treatment processes. Emerging contaminants, such as micro and macro plastics, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, and industrial chemicals,
possess the potential to adversely impact on aquatic ecosystems and human health.

Guidelines for Carbon Accounting and Emission Reduction In the Urban Water Sector
China's striving to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 are critical strategic decisions made by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. They are related to the sustainable development of China as well as to the building of a Community of Shared Future for humanity. They also demonstrate China's firm determination to actively respond to climate change and take the high-quality development path of prioritizing the ecology, green transformation, and low carbon emissions. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council successively issued “Working Guidance for Carbon Dioxide Peaking and Carbon Neutrality in Full an d Faithful Implementation of the New Development Philosophy”, “Action Plan for Carbon Dioxide Peaking Before 2030”, and “Implementation Plan for Synergizing the Reduction of Pollution and Carbon Emission ”.

Algal Systems for Resource Recovery from Waste and Wastewater
In the past few decades, our planet has witnessed an unprecedented surge in population, carbon emissions, and the demand for essential resources, particularly energy and water. This exponential growth has come at a cost: a staggering increase in waste and wastewater, presenting formidable challenges to our environment and sustainability. Faced with this urgent dilemma, the imperative to develop innovative technologies for resource recovery has never been more critical. Amidst this challenge, algae, tiny yet extraordinary photosynthetic organisms, have emerged as potent microbiota in the quest for environmental solutions. In this context, this book Algal Systems for Resource Recovery from Waste and Wastewater testifies to the pivotal role algae can play in addressing some
of the world’s most pressing issues.

Process Design Guide for Small Wastewater Works
INTRODUCTION
The official starting date of this project was 1 April 2006 and the project was scheduled for completion in May 2008. However, due to the Project Steering Committee requesting the inclusion of material that was additional to that specified in the original proposal, the completion date for the project was extended to September 2008. The motivation for conducting such a project was based on the fact that 'A Guide to the Design of Sewage Purification Works' was first published in 1973 by the then Southern African Branch of the Institute for Water Pollution Control (IWPC) and over the years this useful reference document has become known as the 'Black Book'. This guide was revised and republished in 1987, the same year that the IWPC became the Institute of Water and Environmental Management and the same year in which the Water Institute of Southern Africa was formed.
