  • Drinking Water Treatment

    Focusing on Appropriate Technology and Sustainability

    Edición de Chittaranjan Ray, Ravi Jain ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Sustainable technologies for water supply are urgently needed if water has to be supplied to billions of less fortunate people with inadequate access to water. These technologies must be simple, less expensive, less energy intensive, and easy to maintain for their adaptation among the poor masses.Four appropriate technologies are discussed here: solar pasteurization, membrane desalination, natural ...

  • Numerical Models in Groundwater Pollution

    de Karel Kovarik ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Mathematical models are the effective tool to solve different tasks predicting pollutant movement. The finite difference method is the oldest, but still remains widely used in hydrogeological practice. However, this method is not very useful to construct the new transport models because it cannot approximate the shape of remediation elements exactly. Therefore the book is concerned with the FEM ...
