This edited book explores the most promising and reliable technological developments expected to impact on the next generation of desalination systems.
This new edition of Classical Mechanics in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics describes the motions of rigid bodies and shows how classical mechanics has important applications to geophysics, as in the precessions of the earth, oceanic tides, and the retreat of the moon from the earth owing to the tidal friction.
This new edition of The Drinking Water Handbook is thoroughly revised and updated and includes a comprehensive discussion of "e;forever chemicals,"e; as well as the herbicide atrazine in drinking water.
Experts in the field offer the first comprehensive review of the tectonics and magmatism of backarc basins, covering their initial rift stage to mature spreading.
The Bureau of Reclamation and Sandia National Laboratories jointly developed the Roadmap to serve as a strategic research pathway for desalination and water purification technologies to meet future water needs.
As the evidence for human-induced climate change becomes more obvious, so too does the realisation that it will harshly impact on the natural environment as well as on socio-economic systems.
This book presents the most recent innovative studies in the field of water resources for arid areas to move towards more sustainable management of the resources.
This book is geared for advanced level research in the general subject area of remote sensing and modeling as they apply to the coastal marine environment.
The complementary nature of physically-based and data-driven models in their demand for physical insight and historical data, leads to the notion that the predictions of a physically-based model can be improved and the associated uncertainty can be systematically reduced through the conjunctive use of a data-driven model of the residuals.
North East Canals Through Time follows on from previous titles by specialist author and canal historian Ray Shill, notably North West Canals Through Time: Manchester, Irwell & the Peaks.
In situ treatments involving the arrangement of contact between prospective reactants in complex porous media require a refined understanding of solute migration.
Wide- scale chemical monitoring programmes are required by international conventions and European Union policies such as the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) and the new EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD).
