Understanding the behavior and transport of sediment allows efficient planning and reliable water delivery schedules, and ensures the controlled deposition of sediments, making maintenance activities more manageable. This book presents a detailed analysis of sediment transport in irrigation canals, together with physical and mathematical descriptions of the behavior. The authors use a mathematical model to predict the sediment transport, deposition and entrainment rate for various flow conditions and sediment inputs. The model is particularly suitable for the simulation of sediment transport in irrigation canals where flow and sediment transport are determined by the operation of flow control structures.

This study, conducted in Kenya, gives the first insight into the performance of a constructed treatment wetland receiving pulp and paper mill wastewater in the tropics.

The wetland effectively removed organic matter, suspended solids, phenols and nutrients. BOD and phenols reduction rates are reported for the first time. Design parameters and guidelines for the set-up and maintenance of a full-scale wetland are recommended. The study concludes that integrating a full-scale wetland, as a tertiary stage with the existing treatment ponds would significantly improve the quality of water in River Nzoia downstream of the effluent discharge.

This study investigates the use of constructed wetlands as a cheaper and more effective alternative method of treating domestic wastewater in tropical environments. This book determines the technical viability of the model, with respect to treatme...

As EPA standards for water quality have tightened, the need to more accurately assess filter performance and improve the overall treatment process has led to increased demand for the high sensitivity provided by particle counters. For all the emphasis on particle counting, water treatment operators have found there are extremely few publications about its methods - until now. A Practical Guide to Particle Counting for Drinking Water Treatment is the first book of its kind to address the latest technologies, equipment and procedures for conducting particle counting in drinking water treatment and related processes.

The scope of this research is to develop an integrated technical-economic modeling tool to enhance integrated water resources management and to aid decision makers in the design and assessment of integrated water resources management projects for arid coastal regions.

An assessment of the century-old Wadi Laba indigenous spate irrigation system  in Eritrea, analysing the effectiveness of the introduction of contemporary water laws and a new headwork to increase production and standard of living. The lack of success of the new approach is discussed.

With unique material not previously available in English, this important book presents detailed analyses of generic problems and possible solutions applicable beyond the former Soviet Union.

A comprehensive book on industrial wastewater treatment, Activated Sludge: Treatment of Industrial Wastewater explores approaches to designing and retrofitting biological treatments plants to keep up with continually changing requirements and standards. The authors present case studies for a wide variety of industrial wastewaters including pulp and paper, food processing, chemical and pharmaceuticals, and textile wastewaters. Data interpretation and process design are developed through the use of seventeen examples. Procedures for the laboratory and pilot plant generation of process design data are presented.
