Description
This book discusses decentralized sanitation for wastewater treatment and management in cold environments. It addresses the knowledge gap that exists between the understanding of centralized and decentralized wastewater treatment approaches. Decentralized Sanitation and Water Treatment: Treatment in Cold Environments and Techno-Economic Aspects covers the sustainability principles, various technologies involved, decentralized treatment in cold countries, and the economic and social feasibility of decentralized sanitation. It provides solutions for the conservation of water sources and target-oriented sanitation approaches for wastewater treatment and recycling.
Key Features
- Reviews the current status, challenges, and future perspectives of decentralized water treatments
- Discusses decentralized sanitation, water, and wastewater treatment in cold environments and Northern countries
- Focuses on interdisciplinary approaches of sustainability and circular economy
- Covers life cycle and environment assessment of decentralized sanitation systems
- Reviews the environmental, techno-economic, and social aspects of decentralized sanitation systems
The book is meant for professionals and researchers working on wastewater treatment, environmental engineering, and ecology.
