economy and the environment. 

Benefits from the provision of basic 

water supply and sanitation services 

such as those implied by the millennium 

development goals are massive and far 

outstrip costs. Benefit-to-cost ratios have 

been reported to be as high as 7 to 1 

for basic water and sanitation services in developing countries. 

Wastewater treatment interventions can generate significant 

benefits for public health, the environment and for certain 

economic sectors such as fisheries, tourism and property 

markets, although these benefits may be less obvious to 

individuals and more difficult to assess in monetary terms. 

Finally, protecting water resources from pollution and managing 

water supply and demand in a sustainable manner can deliver 

clear and sizeable benefits for both investors in the services 

and end water users. Investments in managing water resources 

are going to be increasingly needed in the context of increasing 

water scarcity at the global level. 

The full magnitude of the benefits of water services is seldom 

considered for a number of reasons. Non-economic benefits 

that are difficult to quantify but that are of high value to the 

concerned individuals and society, i.e. non-use values, dignity, 

social status, cleanliness and overall well-being are frequently 

under-estimated. In addition, benefit values are highly locationspecific 

(depending on the prevalence of water-related diseases 

or the condition of receiving water bodies, for example) and 

cannot be easily aggregated

Utility Benchmarking and 

Regulation in Developing 

Countries 

Practical Application of Performance 

Monitoring and Incentives 

Author: Silver Mugisha 

Utility performance, especially in 

developing countries is still working 

toward the standard necessary to deliver 

best practice. This book examines 

performance monitoring and regulation 

as a prominent efficiency enhancement 

tool and clarifies many of the unknowns 

regarding the design and approach 

surrounding the area of utility 

management. Principles and practices 

are linked in a way that is informative 

and accessible, highlighting the challenges facing those who are 

trying to improve performance in the water sector. Operational 

settings are complex and unpredictable in developing countries 

due to inadequate infrastructure planning and this book makes 

clear which systems work best in these situations. 

The book discusses performance monitoring in the critical areas 

of utility management that achieve sustainable performance 

goals: 

• Performance development planning 

• Modes of performance monitoring 

• Provocative approaches to incentives creation 

• Monitoring through high incentive plans 

• Customer relations monitoring 

• Pro-poor oriented monitoring 

• Careful use of partial performance indicators 

• Proposed indicators for assessing governance incentives 

A case study on the National Water and Sewerage 

Corporation, Uganda is included in the book detailing the 

difficulties in discerning performance progress based on partial 

performance indicators. It underlines disparities in basing 

performance conclusions on partial performance indicators on 

one hand and aggregate analysis using modern benchmarking 

toolkits on the other. 

This is an excellent handbook for utility monitors or regulators 

whose primary duty is to oversee performance management. It 

is a valuable resource for decision-makers, analysts, and policymakers 

and can be used in capacity-building programs (both 

in-house and in universities) around the world. 

Contents: 

• General Introduction 

• Performance Development Planning 

• Modes of Performance Monitoring 

• Exploring use of Provocative Techniques 

• Performance Monitoring through High Incentive Plans

Water Governance in OECD 

Countries 

A Multilevel Approach 



Water Governance in OECD Countries: A 

Multilevel Approach addresses multilevel 

governance challenges in water policy 

implementation and identifies good 

practices for coordinating water policy 

across ministries, between levels of 

government, and across local actors at 

subnational level. Based on a 

methodological framework, it assesses 

the main “coordination gaps” in terms of 

policy making, financing, information, 

accountability, objectives and capacity building, and provides a 

platform of existing governance mechanisms to bridge them. 

Based on an extensive survey on water governance the report 

provides a comprehensive institutional mapping of roles and 

responsibilities in water policy-making at national/subnational 

level in 17 OECD countries. It concludes on preliminary 

multilevel governance guidelines for integrated water policy.

Meeting the Challenge of 

Financing Water and Sanitation 

Tools and Approaches 



The investments needed to deliver 

sustainable water and sanitation services, 

including the funds that are needed to 

operate and maintain the infrastructure, 

expand their coverage and upgrade 

service delivery to meet current social 

and environmental expectations, are 

huge. Yet, most systems are 

underfunded with dire consequences for 

water and sanitation users, especially the 

poorest. Providing sustainable drinking 

water supply and sanitation services requires sound financial 

basis and strategic financial planning to ensure that existing and 

future financial resources are commensurate with investment 

needs as well as the costs of operating and maintaining services. 

Some of the key messages of this report are: 

• WSS generate substantial benefits for the economy 

• Investment needs to generate these benefits are large in both 

OECD and developing countries 

• Tariffs are a preferred funding source, but public budgets and 

ODA will have a role to play, too 

• Markets-based repayable finance is needed to cover high 

up-front capital investment costs 

• Strategic financial planning and other OECD tools can help 

Governments move forward

Drinking Water Quality 

Water Reclamation Technologies 

for Safe Managed Aquifer 

Recharge 

Editors: Christian Kazner, Thomas Wintgens, and 

Peter Dillon 

This book has been developed from the 

RECLAIM WATER project supported by 

the European Commission under 

Thematic Priority ‘Global Change and 

Ecosystems’ of the Sixth Framework 

Programme. Its strategic objective is to 

develop hazard mitigation technologies 

for water reclamation providing safe and 

cost effective routes for managed aquifer 

recharge. 

Different treatment applications in terms of behaviour of key 

microbial and chemical contaminants are assessed. Engineered 

as well as natural treatment trains are investigated to provide 

guidance for sustainable MAR schemes using alternative sources 

such as effluent and stormwater. The technologies considered 

are also well suited to the needs of developing countries, 

which have a growing need of supplementation of freshwater 

resources. A broad range of international full-scale case studies 

enables insights into long-term system behaviour, operational 

aspects, and fate of a comprehensive number of compounds 

and contaminants, especially organic micropollutants and bulk 

organics. 

The book depicts advances in water reclamation technologies 

and aims to provide new process combinations to treat 

alternative water sources to appropriate water quality levels for 

sustainable aquifer recharge. 

Contents: 

• Introduction 

• Water Reclamation and Managed Aquifer Recharge Practices 

• International MAR Case Studies 

• Water Quality Analysis 

• Water Reclamation Technologies

Disinfection By-Products 

Relevance to Human Health 

Editors: Steve E Hrudey and Jeffrey WA Charrois 

Disinfection By-Products is based on 

contributions from speakers who 

participated in May 2011 workshops on 

Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) and 

Human Health at Ozwater 11 in 

Adelaide, Australia or at an AWA 

sponsored workshop at the Curtin 

Water Quality Research Centre, Perth, 

Australia. 

The contributions are prepared 

to facilitate communication with practitioners, rather than 

researchers, making use of overview illustrations rather than 

dense text or data tables. Each chapter concludes with up to 5 

key findings that are “take-home” messages for practitioners. 

Disinfection By-Products is aimed specifically at drinking 

water professionals (engineers, chemists and public health 

professionals) working on the front lines of drinking water 

issues where they must encounter actual day-to-day issues of 

risk management concerning DBPs in relation to all the other 

regulatory and water quality issues they must manage. 

Although a topic this complex is certainly not amenable to 

simplistic explanations, this book aims to provide drinking 

water professionals with a pragmatic assessment of the current 

evidence and emerging issues concerning DBPs and public 

health. 

Disinfection By-Products is an essential, practical and accessible 

guide for drinking water professionals, engineers, chemists and 

public health professionals.

Best Practice Guide on Sampling 

and Monitoring of Metals in 

Drinking Water 

Editor: Adam Postawa 

There is increasing concern regarding 

the presence of metals, particularly 

heavy metals in drinking water. In 

addition to the well-known toxic effects 

of lead, which are discussed at length in 

the Best Practice Guide on the Control of 

Lead in Drinking Water (in this series of 

Guides), the latest WHO guide values 

for maximum mean concentrations of 

arsenic, nickel and others in drinking 

water have been lowered compared to 

previous versions. European Union, USA and National 

standards for drinking water have followed the trend based 

largely on the same toxicological information. 

There is currently growing interest in the presence of 

hexavalent chromium in drinking water following its finding in 

some drinking waters in the USA above the national upper limit 

for total chromium and research suggesting that this limit needs 

to be considerably lowered. Some metals, particularly iron and 

manganese are associated with the production of discoloured 

(dirty) water in distribution systems and are therefore very 

important to the production of water with acceptable aesthetic 

qualities. Others (iron and aluminium) are key to the treatment 

of raw waters to drinking water standards. 

In most cases it is not possible to continuously monitor 

waters for metals and suitable sampling programmes must be 

designed and carried out to give results representative of the 




9


true water quality. The Best Practice Guide on Sampling and 

Monitoring of Metals in Drinking Water gives guidance on the 

design and quality control of sampling programmes for metals 

in Raw waters, in the water treatment works, in the drinking 

water distribution system and at the consumer’s tap. It also 

gives guidance on the analytical methods that can be used for 

the analysis of metals and quality control of those methods. 

Sampling programmes on the same water will vary according 

to the purpose for which they are carried out and the statistical 

techniques used to determine and design the different types 

of programme are outlined. Finally some case studies of 

optimisation of sampling are set out. 

Best Practice Guide on Sampling and Monitoring of Metals 

in Drinking Water is a valuable text for Scientists, Engineers 

and Quality Managers working in Drinking Water Supply, 

Laboratory Managers and Scientists who carry out Sampling 

and Analysis, and Water Industry Consultants. It is also an 

excellent resource for Post Graduate and Research workers in 

the field of Drinking water.

Best Practice Guide on Metals 

Removal by Treatment 

Editors: Mustafa Ersoz and Lisa Barrott 

The EU Drinking Water Directive sets a 

range of standards for metals and related 

substances in drinking water, many of 

which are concerned with health 

protection. A number of these standards 

are very stringent and require 

compliance to be assessed at the point 

of use. Because of the difficulties 

associated with monitoring, historic 

practices in many countries have 

concentrated on the quality of water 

within the distribution network. As a result, the magnitude of 

problems with some metals and related substances in drinking 

water is not fully appreciated in all European countries, and the 

extent and nature of corrective actions differ widely. 

This Best Practice Guide on Metals Removal from Drinking Water 

describes drinking water standards and regulations, and explains 

the impact of a range of water treatment processes on metal 

levels in drinking water. Its objectives are to provide a basis for 

assessing the extent of problems and to identify appropriate 

water treatment options. The Guide provides a reasoned guide 

to selection of key water treatment processes. Each chapter 

focuses on a specific water treatment process and has been 

written by experts in that particular process. 

Best Practice Guide on Metals Removal from Drinking Water 

provides practice-based knowledge for water engineers and 

scientists in large and small water utilities, regulatory agencies, 

health agencies and local municipalities (from cities through 

to small rural communities). It also supports university level 

teaching in degree schemes that relate to water management. 

This Guide is one of a series produced by the International 

Water Association’s Specialist Group on Metals and Related 

Substances in Drinking Water. The series is an up-to-date 

compilation of a range of scientific, engineering, regulatory and 

operational issues concerned with the control and removal of 

metals from drinking water. 

Contents: 

• Drinking Water Quality Standards and Regulations 

• Guide To Selection of Water Treatment Processes 

• Oxidation for Metal Removal 

• Coagulation, Flocculation and Chemical Precipitation

Best Practice Guide on the 

Control of Iron and Manganese 

in Water Supply 

Author: Adam Postawa 

This Best Practice Guide on the Control of 

Iron and Manganese in Water Supply is 

one of a series produced by the 

International Water Association’s 

Specialist Group on Metals and Related 

Substances in Drinking Water. Iron and 

manganese are often found in soft 

upland water sources associated with 

natural organic matter and are also 

commonly found in the groundwaters 

abstracted from confined and unconfined 

aquifers. 

The presence of iron and manganese in water is one of 

the most frequent reasons for customers’ complaint due to 

aesthetic issues (yellow, brown and black or stains on laundry 

and plumbing fixtures). These two metals can be removed fairly 

readily by physico-chemical treatment. The municipal treatment 

systems deployed derive benefit from their larger scale, 

particularly in relation to control, but the processes used are 

less suitable for the numerous small supplies that are the most 

common water supplies throughout Europe especially in rural 

areas. One important source of iron in drinking water is from 

old corroded cast-iron water mains, historically the material 

used most commonly in supply networks. Replacement and 

refurbishment is very expensive and the major challenge is how 

best to prioritize available expenditure. 

The purpose for this Best Practice Guide on the Control of Iron 

and Manganese in Water Supply is to give readers the broad 

view of a problem based on state-of-the-art compilation of 

the range of scientific, engineering, regulatory and operational 

issues concerned with the control of iron and manganese in 

drinking water.

Guidelines for Drinking-water 

Quality 

4th Edition 

Author: World Health Organisation (WHO) 

This fourth edition of the World Health 

Organization’s Guidelines for Drinkingwater 

Quality builds on over 50 years of 

guidance by WHO on drinking-water 

quality, which has formed an 

authoritative basis for the setting of 

national regulations and standards for 

water safety in support of public health. 

It is the product of significant revisions 

to clarify and elaborate on ways of 

implementing its recommendations of contextual hazard 

identification and risk management, through the establishment 

of health-based targets, catchment-to-consumer water safety 

plans and independent surveillance. It reflects the renewed 

focus on primary prevention. 

Significant additional guidance on good practice is presented, 

incorporating changes introduced by the first and second 

addenda to the third edition. Emerging water management 

issues are comprehensively addressed for a range of 

circumstances, from household water treatment and safe 

storage and the bulk supply of water over long distances to the 

potential implications of climate change. 

Additional risk assessments are presented for a number of 

new chemical and microbial hazards and applied to a suite of 

pesticides used for public health purposes. Existing reviews 

on chemicals and waterborne pathogens have been revised 

to account for new scientific information. The chapter 

on radiological aspects of drinking-water quality has been 

comprehensively updated. 

Even more than the previous edition, the 4th edition of 

Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality emphasizes achievable 

practices and the formulation of sound regulations, applicable 

to low-income, middle-income and industrialized countries 

alike, that aim to prevent a potential health crisis caused by the 

consumption of unsafe drinking-water, against the backdrop of 

rapid urbanization, water scarcity and climate change.

Stochastic Water Demand 

Modelling 

Hydraulics in Water Distribution Networks 

Author: Mirjam Blokker 

Water quality processes in the drinking 

water distribution network are strongly 

influenced by the flow velocity and 

residence time of the water in the 

network. In order to understand how 

the water quality changes in the drinking 

water distribution network, a good 

understanding of hydraulics is required. 

Specifically in the periphery of the 

network, where customers are 

connected, the hydraulics can change 

rapidly. During the night time the water is almost stagnant and 

the residence time increases. In the morning, when everybody 

gets up and flushes the toilet and takes a shower, high flow 

velocities can occur. During the remainder of the day flow 

velocities are low. 

The stochastic endues model SIMDEUM was developed to 

simulate water use on a small time scale (1 s) and small spatial 

scale (per fixture). SIMDEUM enables a good model of flow 

velocities, residence times and the connected water quality 

processes in the water distribution network. 

Stochastic Water Demand Modelling: Hydraulics in Water 

Distribution Networks describes the requirements of hydraulics 

in water quality modelling and provides insight into the 

development of detailed residential and non-residential water 

demand models. The book illustrates the use of detailed 

demand models in water quality models with respect to the 

variation in residence times and the relation with particle 

accumulation and resuspension. The models are compared 

to measurements in several real drinking water distribution 

networks.

Model 

• Comparison of Two Approaches of Residential Water

Cause and Prevention of 

Clogging of Wells Abstracting 

Groundwater from 

Unconsolidated Aquifers 

Authors: C.G.E.M. (Kees) van Beek 

Groundwater serves many purposes. It 

is a source of public and private drinking 

water, it is utilized as an industrial 

feedstock and it is used in agriculture for 

irrigation and cattle watering. The 

abstraction of groundwater also serves 

many civil engineering purposes such as 

structures, construction pit dewatering 

and remediation of polluted 

groundwater. Furthermore, 

groundwater is increasingly used for 

supply and storage of energy for the cooling and heating of 

buildings. 

Many wells abstracting groundwater suffer from impaired 

performance as a result of clogging by mechanical or 

biogeochemical processes. This represents a significant 

economic loss due to volume reductions, cost of well 

rehabilitations or construction of new wells. Cause and 

Prevention of Clogging of Wells Abstracting Groundwater from 

Unconsolidated Aquifers provides a comprehensive description 

of the various causes and processes associated with well 

clogging in addition to describing methodologies for diagnosis 

and prevention.

Computational Fluid Dynamics in 

Drinking Water Treatment 

Author: Bas Wols 

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) 

uses advanced numerical models to 

predict flow, mixing and (bio)-chemical 

reactions. In drinking water engineering, 

CFD is increasingly applied to predict the 

performance of treatment installations 

and to optimise these installations. 

A lack of understanding of the hydraulics 

in drinking water treatment systems 

has resulted in suboptimal design of 

installations. The formation of unwanted 

disinfection-by-products and the energy consumption or use 

of chemicals is therefore higher than necessary. The aim of 

this work is to better understand the hydraulic and (bio)- 

chemical processes in drinking water treatment installations 

using experimental and numerical techniques. By combining 

these techniques, CFD modelling is further developed as a tool 

to evaluate the performance of these installations. This leads 

to new insights in the applicability of models in ozone and UV 

systems, and new insights in design concepts of these systems. 

CFD modelling proves to be a powerful tool to understand 

the hydrodynamic and (bio)-chemical processes in drinking 

water systems. If applied properly, accounting for the complex 

turbulent motions and validated by experiments, this tool leads 

to a better design of UV reactors, ozone systems and other 

systems dictated by hydraulics.

Management from Catchment 

to Consumer 

A Practical Guide for Utilities Based on Water 

Safety Plans 

Editor: Bob Breach 

Drinking Water Quality Management from 

Catchment to Consumer is a best practice 

book that builds on the experience of 

water suppliers and experts across the 

world in order to provide a practical 

guide to help utilities improve the 

management of drinking water quality. It 

is based on the Water Safety Plan 

approach and the principles of the Bonn 

Charter for Safe Drinking Water, and is 

intended to complement and support 

other relevant publications particularly the WHO Water Safety 

Plan Manual. 

It has evolved from the work of The Bonn Network which is a 

global group of water suppliers originally established to develop 

and share best practice in drinking water quality management 

based on the Bonn Charter. The emphasis is on practical 

information “by operators for operators”, learning from the 

experience of a range of water suppliers across the world. The 

book supports and encourages users to think through the best 

way for them to improve drinking water quality management 

taking account of local factors. It recognises that whilst water 

suppliers are central to the provision of good drinking water, 

this has to take place within a broader legal, institutional, and 

financial framework which is the responsibility of Government 

and others. It thus highlights the ways that water suppliers can 

work with a range of partners to ensure that all are committed 

to the same goal of good safe drinking water. 

Drinking Water Quality Management from Catchment to 

Consumer is an essential reference for water quality, laboratory 

and operational managers from water utilities around the 

world. It is also helpful to consultants working in this area and 

regulatory, health and municipal, and catchment management 

authorities. The book is of interest to academics working in the 

field of drinking water quality, and risk management and may be 

used on any courses aimed at managing drinking water quality.

Managing Climate Risk in Water 

Supply Systems 

Editors: Casey Brown and Neil Ward 

Water resources systems provide 

multiple services and, if managed 

properly, can contribute significantly to 

social well-being and economic growth. 

However, extreme or unexpected 

hydroclimatic conditions, such as 

droughts and floods, can adversely affect 

or even completely interrupt these 

services. This manual seeks to provide 

knowledge, resources and techniques 

for water resources professionals to 

manage the risks and opportunities arising from hydroclimatic 

variability and change. 

Managing Climate Risk in Water Supply Systems provides 

materials and tools designed to empower technical 

professionals to better understand the key issues in water 

supply systems. These materials are part of a suite of resources 

that are developed to share climate risk knowledge related to a 

range of sectors and climate-related problems. 

The text motivates students by providing practical exercises 

and it stimulates readers or workshop participants to consider 

options and analyses that will highlight opportunities for 

better management in the water systems in which they are 

stakeholders. 

Managing Climate Risk in Water Supply Systems provides a 

hands-on approach to learning key concepts in hydrology and 

climate science as they relate to climate risk management in 

water supply systems. 

The primary audience is technical professionals in water 

resources management and provides a practical approach to 

training 





Environment 

Water and Energy 

Threats and Opportunities 

Author: Gustaf Olsson 

Water and Energy – Threats and 

Opportunities creates an awareness of 

the important couplings between water 

and energy. It shows how energy is 

used in all the various water cycle 

operations and demonstrates how water 

is used – and misused – in all kinds of 

energy production and generation. 

Population increase, climate change and 

an increasing competition between food 

and fuel production create enormous pressures on both water 

and energy availability. Since there is no replacement for water, 

water security looks more crucial than energy security. This 

is true not only in developing countries but also in the most 

advanced countries. The western parts of the USA suffer from 

water scarcity that provides a real security threat. 

The book does not aim to show “how to design” or to solve 

some of the very intricate conflicts between water and energy. 

Instead it systematically lists ideas, possibilities and a number 

of results. There are a few more technical chapters that act as 

entry points to more detailed technical literature. 

Part One of the book describes the water-energy nexus, 

the conflicts and competitions and the couplings between water 

security, energy security, and food security. 

Part Two captures how climate change, population increase 

and the growing food demand will have major impact on water 

availability in many countries in the world. 

Part Three describes water for energy and how energy 

production and conversion depend on water availability. As a 

consequence, all planning has to take both water and energy 

into consideration. The environmental (including water) 

consequences of oil and coal exploration and refining are 

huge, in North America as well as in the rest of the world. 

Furthermore, oil leak accidents have hit America, Africa, 

Europe as well as Asia. The consequences of hydropower 

are discussed and the competition between hydropower 

generation, flood control and water storage is illustrated. 

The importance of water for cooling thermal power plants 

is described, as this was so tragically demonstrated at the 

Fukushima nuclear plants in 2011. Climate change will further 

emphasize the strong coupling between water availability and 

the operation of power plants. 

Part Four analyses energy for water - how water 

production and treatment depend on energy. The book 

shows that a lot can be done to improve equipment, develop 

processes and apply advanced monitoring and control to save 

energy for water operations. Significant amounts of energy 

can be saved by better pumping, the reduction of leakages, 

controlled aeration in biological wastewater treatment, more 

efficient biogas production, and by improved desalination 

processes. 

The water-energy issue is not only about technology. It is our 

attitudes and our lifestyle that can significantly influence the 

consumption of both water and energy. We all have to be 

reminded that water is energy and energy is water. 

The reader 

The book is aimed for various kinds of readers: 

• The politician and decision maker – providing a holistic view; 

• The engineer who wishes to find out about the key issues 

and to understand the strong driving forces from the 

increasing population, climate change and the food supply in 

the world; 




13


• The student who wishes to get an overview of future 

challenges and new possibilities; 

• The planner – water and energy have to be planned 

together; 

• The designer of a water and wastewater system – how does 

energy come in? 

• The operator of a water or a wastewater treatment plant – 

what are the possibilities to make the system more efficient; 

• The wastewater treatment manager – what are the 

possibilities to save and recover energy in a wastewater 

treatment plant; 

• The researcher – looking for connections between different 

specialities. What kind of cross-disciplinary research would 

be needed; 

• The power and energy professional – mostly the water issue 

is forgotten - until there is water scarcity; 

• The water professional – it is not only a matter of operating 

water systems efficiently. Water professionals have to be 

much more engaged in the water quantity and water quality 

implications of energy generation. It is too late to attack 

the problems by developing methods for the treatment of 

contaminated water. The water consumption and the water 

pollution simply have to be closely watched already at the 

energy production phase.

Renewable Energy Applications 

for Freshwater Production 

Editors: Jockhen Bundschuh and Jan Hoinkis 

Worldwide, many regions have a great 

potential to cover part of their pressing 

water needs by renewable energy 

powered water treatment processes 

using either thermal or membrane 

based technologies. Not only arid and 

semiarid regions are increasingly 

exposed to water shortage but also 

many other regions face a limitation of 

freshwater resources either by 

increasing contamination of surface 

water bodies and/or groundwater resources unsuitable for 

drinking and irrigation purposes either due to their high grade 

of mineralization or their contents of toxic components as for 

example arsenic, which affects worldwide the drinking water of 

over 200 million people. 

In many areas without centralized water supply, treatment 

techniques using locally available renewable energy resources 

such as wind, solar and geothermal can we provide an 

economic, social, and environmentally sustainable option 

for clean water production from seawater and from highly 

mineralized or otherwise unsuitable ground and surface water. 

This book provides an overview on possible cost-efficient 

techniques and application opportunities for different scales and 

shows why the implementation of these technologies faces 

numerous technological, economic and policy barriers and 

gives suggestions how these hurdles can be overcome. Costs 

of novel treatment units using renewable energy sources are 

discussed and compared with those of other technologies for 

clean water production considering external costs, such as 

environmental and social costs which are caused by using fossil 

fuel based technologies. Energy efficiency is highlighted since 

it is of special importance in systems that are to be powered 

by renewable energy. Moreover applications of water supply 

systems providing water in emergency condition are discussed.

Making Space for the River 

Experiences with Multifunctional River Planning 

in the US and Europe 

Editors: Jeroem Frank Warner, Arwin van Buuren and 

Jurian Edelenbos 

Making Space for the River examines the 

recent developments in river 

management that aim to ‘green’ rivers, 

including increasing river discharge for 

flood management, enhancing natural 

and landscape values, promoting local or 

regional economic development, urban 

regeneration. This offers opportunities 

and synergies, but also risks as it crosses 

established boundaries and touches on 

multiple stakeholder interests, which can 

easily clash. The book demonstrates that there is no one-sizefits-all 

prescription to river management. 

The numerous linkages to achieve multiple goals almost 

inevitably lead to promoting some links at the expense of 

others and cause tensions between conflicting parties. Making 

Space for the River helps the reader to understand the policy 

dynamics that leads to these tensions and pays attention to 

the attempts to organize connections between stakes, frames, 

and goals of different actors in the process, descriptions 

and analyses of the effectiveness and legitimacy of these 

interconnections. 

Making Space for the River provides an interdisciplinary approach 

that examines: 

• The diversity of programmes: Does making space for the 

river mean the same everywhere, or is there a very local 

interpretation? What was the rationale to make space for 

the river in the various countries? Was space for the river 

formulated as a national policy – if so, what did it look like? 

• The practical lessons learned: How was Making Space for the 

River philosophy implemented? How did the policy or project 

evolve over time and why? What can we learn from the case 

studies - what went right, what went wrong? Did Making 

Space for the River enable processes and outcomes beyond 

its original scope? 

• The conceptual framework and methodology: Different 

disciplines bring different ways of knowing. The authors of 

this book come from a variety of disciplines including public 

administration, town and country planning, geography and 

anthropology. 

This book is written for practitioners and students of 

environmental policy, spatial planning, land use and water 

management. It may be used as a textbook for MSc courses 

concerned with river management.

Handbook of Environmental 

Odour Management 

Editors: Franz-Bernd Frechen, Richard M. Stuetz, 

Anton P. van Harreveld 

Complaints due to odour annoyance 

have become a major issue for 

wastewater treatment plant, waste 

management, landfill, intensive livestock 

and other industrial operators as the 

repeated release of unpleasant odorous 

emissions can constitute a nuisance to a 

local population. Traditionally, odour 

management has been maintained by 

the use of buffer distances between 

industry and receptors or by the 

installation of odour abatement systems that both collect and 

disperse the emission or treat the emission to acceptable level 

to limit receptor impact. With the expansion of suburbia and 

the associated encroachment, residents and industry are 

coming into closer proximity than in the past. This interaction is 

unpredictable, complex and difficult to address. Integrated 

odour impact management approaches involving improved 

measurement and understanding of odorous emissions, their 

impact on local receptors, treatment performance and 

integration in local community relations programs are needed 

to meet the potential impact due to population growth and 

increasing global urbanisation.

Water Sensitive Cities 

Editors: Carol Howe and Cynthia Mitchell 

Today’s urban water managers are faced 

with an unprecedented set of issues that 

call for a different approach to urban 

water management. These include the 

urgent changes needed to respond to 

climate change, population growth, 

growing resource constraints, and 

rapidly increasing global urbanization. 

Not only are these issues difficult to 

address, but they are facing us in an 

environment that is increasingly 

unpredictable and complex. Although innovative, new tools are 

now available to water professionals to address these 

challenges, solving the water problems of tomorrow cannot be 

done by the water professionals alone. Instead, the city of the 

future, whether in the developed or developing world, must 

integrate water management planning and operations with 

other city services to meet the needs of humans and the 

environment in a dramatically superior manner. 

This book has been developed from selected papers from 

2009 Singapore Water Week “Planning for Sustainable 

Solutions” and also papers taken from other IWA events. It 

pulls together material that supports the water professionals’ 

need for useful and up-to-date material.

Arsenic Contamination in 

the World 

An International Sourcebook 

Author: Susan Murcott 

Arsenic Contamination in the World: An 

International Sourcebook provides a 

global compendium of cited arsenic 

incidences in drinking-water. This book 

details arsenic contamination by source, 

region and arsenic-affected country. 

Arsenic is identified in 105 countries 

and territories, representing a larger 

database than any previous published 

work. Sources of arsenic contamination 

are categorized as: Anthropogenic, Geogenic, Volcanogenic, 

Coal, Mining and Petroleum-related. National, regional and 

international maps locate the affected areas and populations. A 

synthesis of critical country information includes an estimate of 

the exposed population of over 178 million people worldwide. 

This reference work is an indispensible tool for governments, 

industries, non-profit organizations and communities in 

identifying site-specific arsenic contamination. By synthesizing 

the known occurrences of arsenic world-wide, we offer an 

essential foundation for understanding the global geologicalmedical 

interface of arsenic. An extensive bibliography of 

peer reviewed literature gives the reader important arsenic 

contamination locations as the first step towards remediation. 

Contents:

Health Related Water Issues 

Arsenic in Groundwater: 

Poisoning and Risk Assessment 

Authors: M. Manzurul Hassan, Peter J. Atkins 

The main focus of Arsenic in 

Groundwater: Poisoning and Risk 

Assessment is to explore the untold 

stories of groundwater arsenic in view of 

its poisonous nature for human health, 

social implications, exposure and risk 

assessment, worldwide concentrations 

with space-time dimension, micro level 

GIS application in spatial arsenic 

concentration, policy response and 

mitigation options, and water right and 

legal issues of safe drinking water. There are very few books on 

arsenic issues and almost all the books are mainly based on 

geology, geochemistry and health issues. There is a gap in 

spatial, social and legal issues of arsenic toxicity, and the lack of 

literature on GIS-based modeling for spatial risk of arsenic 

contamination is a serious methodological limitation. Therefore, 

this book is a departure for health geography with a social 

science and legal context. 

The book deals with the arsenic issue within a social science 

point framework, with the context being set by environmental 




15


and legal considerations. Due consideration is given to the 

methodological issues of spatial, quantitative and qualitative 

enquiries on arsenic poisoning, for instance using GIS to 

investigate the distribution of arsenic-laced water in space-time 

to uncover the pattern of variations over scales from metres 

to kilometres. The production of spatial risk maps provides 

an indication to researchers, policy makers, and politicians 

of possible long-term strategies of mitigation. Qualitative 

methodological approaches uncovers the hidden issues of 

arsenic poisoning on human health and their social implications 

as well as their coping strategies and adaptation in the face of 

community and in-family ostracism.

Environmental Aspects of 

Zoonotic Diseases 

Authors: Robert Armon and Uta Cheruti 

Environmental Aspects of Zoonotic 

Diseases provides a definitive 

description, commentary and covers the 

research needs of environmental aspects 

related to zoonotic diseases. 

There are many interrelated connections 

between the environment and zoonotic 

diseases such as: water, soil, air and 

agriculture. 

The book presents investigations of 

these connections, with specific reference to environmental 

processes such as: deforestation, floods, draughts, irrigation 

practices, soil transfer and their impact on bacterial, viral, fungal, 

and parasitological spread. 

Environmental aspects such as climate (tropical, 

sub-tropical, temperate, arid and semi-arid), developed and 

undeveloped countries, animal (domestic and wild) traffic animal 

border crossing, commercial animal trade, transportation, as 

well geography and weather on zoonosis, are also discussed 

and relevant scientific data is condensed and organized in 

order to give a better picture of interrelationship between the 

environment and current spread of zoonotic diseases. 

Altogether, the book presents a remarkable and a vast amount 

of potential future research directions based on the link: 

environment-vectors-pathogens-humans. 

The most up-to-date source of information on this increasingly 

important cross-disciplinary subject, Environmental Aspects 

of Zoonotic Diseases will be invaluable for environmentalists, 

veterinarians, medical staff, environmental engineers, 

government agencies and consultants working in this field.

Animal Waste, Water Quality 

and Human Health 

Editors: Alfred Dufour and Jamie Bartram 

Domestic animals contaminate 

recreational waters and drinking-water 

sources with excreta and pathogens; but 

this threat to public health lacks a 

systematic evidence base is inadequately 

understood and is insufficiently 

addressed in regulations. 

More than 85% of the world’s faecal 

wastes is from domestic animals such as 

poultry, cattle, sheep and pigs. These 

animals harbor zoonotic pathogens that are transported in 

the environment by water, especially runoff. However, little 

information exists on health effects associated with exposure 

to the potential hazards; water standards focused on control of 

human fecal contamination do reflect the contribution of nonhuman 

fecal contamination to risk. 

Prepared with contributions from a group of international 

experts, Animal Waste, Water Quality and Human Health 

considers microbial contamination from domestic animal and 

bird sources and explores the health hazards associated with 

this microbial contamination and approaches to protecting 

public health. 

Animal Waste, Water Quality and Human Health is of interest 

to regulators with responsibility for recreational waters, drinking 

water quality and water reuse; policymakers working in 

water quality, public health and agriculture; decision makers 

responsible for livestock management; and scientists and 

practitioners concerned with many affected subjects. 

Topics covered include: 

• Credible waterborne zoonotic pathogens are discussed 

and ranked according to their potential hazard level. Each 

pathogen is described with regard to its sources, reservoirs, 

and infectivity. 

• Faecal production rates of various domestic animals 

are discussed, alongside pathogen transmission in 

animal populations, pathogen prevalence in animals and 

“supershedders”. 

• Transport of fecal indicator organisms and their episodic 

occurrence in catchments 

• Interventions for improving food safety and reducing 

production losses. 

• The impact of interventions, e.g. enhanced attenuation 

and storage to prevent spills; benchmarking against 

best management practices to reduce diffuse source 

contamination.

Detection of Pathogens 

in Water Using Micro 

and Nano-Technology 

Editors: Giampaolo Zuccheri and Nikolaos Asproulis 

Detection of Pathogens in Water Using 

Micro and Nano-Technology aims to 

promote the uptake of nanotechnological 

approaches by developing 

an integrated cost-effective nanobiological 

sensor for detection of 

bioterrorism and environmental assays. 

The book integrates DNA hybridisation 

sensors with micro-fluidics and signal 

conditioning/processing on both silicon 

and polymer substrates avoiding the use of external apparatus 

for fluid handling, electrical signal generation and processing, 

based on DNA hybridisation. A sensory breakthrough is 

achieved trough two complementary technological solutions: 

Measurements based on electrical (capacitive) signals. If 

hybridisation occurs between target and probe the detected 

change can be functionalised. Detection through UV light 

absorption. Based on the recognition of different UV 

absorptions induced by DNA hybridisation.

History of Water & Wastewater 

Evolution of Water Supply 

through the Millennia 

Authors: Andreas N. Angelakis, Larry W. Mays, 

Demetris Koutsoyiannis, and Nikos Mamassis 

This book presents the major 

achievements in the scientific fields of 

water supply technologies and 

management throughout the millennia. It 

provides valuable insights into ancient 

water supply technologies with their 

apparent characteristics of durability, 

adaptability to the environment, and 

sustainability. A comparison of the water 

technological developments in several 

civilizations is undertaken. These 

technologies are the underpinning of modern achievements in 

water engineering and management practices. It is the best 

proof that “the past is the key for the future.” 

Rapid technological progress in the twentieth century created 

a disregard for past water technologies that were considered 

to be far behind the present ones. There are a great deal of 

unresolved problems related to the management principles, 

such as the decentralization of the processes, the durability 

of the water projects, the cost effectiveness, and sustainability 

issues such as protection from floods and droughts. In the 

developing world, such problems were intensified to an 

unprecedented degree. 

Moreover, new problems have arisen such as the 

contamination of surface and groundwater. Naturally, 

intensification of unresolved problems led societies to revisit 

the past and to reinvestigate the successful past achievements. 

To their surprise, those who attempted this retrospect, based 

on archaeological, historical, and technical evidence were 

impressed by two things: the similarity of principles with 

present ones and the advanced level of water engineering and 

management practices.

History of Water & Wastewater 

Aerobic Wastewater 

Treatment Processes: 

History and Development 

Author: David F Tilley 

Aerobic Wastewater Treatment Processes: 

History and Development discusses the 

widely differing influences on the 

development of aerobic treatment such 

as water supply, toxic trade effluents, 

microscopy and population growth in 

urban areas. It covers the historical 

development of sewage treatment and 

the emergence of aerobic biological 

treatment from the early nineteenth 

century to the present day. 

The importance of water supply and the influence this had on 

the water-carriage system is examined, as is the consequent 

discharge of sewage into rivers. The factors which govern 

process selection and process development are discussed. 

There is a continued impetus to reduce land area, capital 

costs, running costs, and to optimise performance and process 

control. 

The discovery of the activated sludge process is detailed 

including the development, in the early 1900s, of many 

forms of this process. Industrial wastes were discharged to 

biological treatment systems and the impact of such pollutants is 

reviewed. The work of Royal Commissions, River Boards and 

the National Rivers Authority is summarised, and the advances 

in chemical analysis and “on-line” measurement of chemical 

quality characteristics. 

Later developments such as reed beds and the use of hybrid 

treatment systems are covered. Examples are included such 

as the “fixed film” activated sludge process which has found 

application for small communities in package form, and also for 

large-scale municipal treatment plants. 

This book is valuable reading for students of the following 

courses on CIWEM Dip examination, WITA and B Tech and 

Environmental Science and Civil Engineering.

Industrial Treatment 

Innovative and Integrated 

Technologies for the Treatment 

of Industrial Wastewater 

INNOWATECH 

Authors: Antonio Lopez, Claudio Di Iaconi, 

Giuseppe Mascolo and Alfieri Pollice 

Innovative and Integrated Technologies for 

the Treatment of Industrial Wastewater 

deals with advanced technological 

solutions for the treatment of industrial 

wastewater such as aerobic granular 

biomass based systems, advanced 

oxidation processes integrated with 

biological treatments, membrane 

contactors and membrane chemical 

reactors. Wastewater from 

pharmaceutical, chemical and food 

industries as well as landfill leachates are specifically considered 

as representative of major problems encountered when 

treating industrial streams. The economic and environmental 

sustainability of the above solutions are also reported in the 

book and compared with the alternatives currently available in 

the market by life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle costing 

(LCC) methodologies. The implementation of the considered 

solutions at large scale could support and enhance the 

competitiveness of different industrial sectors, including the 

water technology sector, in the global market. 

Innovative and Integrated Technologies for the Treatment of 

Industrial Wastewater also makes a contribution towards 

defining: 

• new concepts, processes and technologies in wastewater 

treatment with potential benefits for the stable quality of 

effluents, energy and operational costs saving, and the 

protection of the environment 

• new sets of advanced standards for wastewater treatment 

• new methodologies for the definition of wastewater 

treatment needs and framework conditions 

• new information supporting development and 

implementation of water legislation.

Membrane Technology 

Biofouling of Spiral Wound 

Membrane Systems 

Authors: Johannes Simon Vrouwenvelder, Joop 

Kruithof, and Mark van Loosdrecht 

High quality drinking water can be 

produced with membrane filtration 

processes like reverse osmosis (RO) and 

nanofiltration (NF). As the global 

demand for fresh clean water is 

increasing, these membrane 

technologies are increasingly important. 

One of the most serious problems in 

RO/NF applications is biofouling – 

excessive growth of biomass – affecting 

the performance of the RO/NF systems. 

This can be due to the increase in pressure drop across 

membrane elements (feed-concentrate channel), the decrease 

in membrane permeability or the increase in salt passage. 

These phenomena result in the need to increase the feed 

pressure to maintain constant production and to clean the 

membrane elements chemically. 

Biofouling of Spiral Wound Membrane Systems relates biomass 

accumulation in spiral wound RO and NF membrane elements 

with membrane performance and hydrodynamics and 

determines parameters influencing biofouling. It focuses on the 

development of biomass in the feed-concentrate (feed-spacer) 

channel and its effect on pressure drop and flow distribution. It 

can be used to develop an integral strategy to control biofouling 

in spiral wound membrane systems. 

Most past and present methods to control biofouling have 

not been very successful. An overview of several potential 

complementary approaches to solve biofouling is given and an 

integrated approach for biofouling control is proposed.

• Biofouling Studies in NF and RO Installations

Membrane Technology 

Membrane Based Desalination: 

An Integrated Approach 

MEDINA 

Authors: Enrico Drioli, Alessandra Criscuoli and 

Francesca Macedonio 

Reverse Osmosis is the dominant 

technology in water desalination. 

However, some critical issues remain 

open: improvement of water quality, 

enhancement of the recovery factor, 

reduction of the unit water cost, 

minimizing the brine disposal impact. 

This book aims to solve these problems 

with an innovative approach based on 

the integration of different membrane 

operations in pre-treatment and posttreatment 

stages. 

Membrane-Based Desalination: An Integrated Approach 

(acronym MEDINA) has been a three year project funded by 

the European Commission within the 6th Framework Program. 

The project team has developed a work programme aiming 

to improve the current design and operation practices of 

membrane systems used for water desalination, trying to solve 

or, at least, to decrease the critical issues of sea and brackish 

water desalination systems. 

In the book, the main results achieved in the nine Work 

Packages constituting the project will be described, and 

dismissed by the leaders of the various WPs. 

The following areas are explored in the book: 

• the development of advanced analytical methods for feed 

water characterization, appropriate fouling indicators and 

prediction tools, procedures and protocols at full-scale 

desalination facilities; 

• the identification of optimal seawater pre-treatment strategies 

by designing advanced hybrid membrane processes 

(submerged hollow fibre filtration/reaction, adsorption/ion 

exchange/ozonation) and comparison with conventional 

methods; 

• the optimisation of RO membrane module configuration, 

cleaning strategies, reduction of scaling potential by NF; 

• the development of strategies aiming to approach the 

concept of Zero Liquid Discharge (increasing the water 

recovery factor up to 95% by using Membrane Distillation 

- MD; bringing concentrates to solids by Membrane 

Crystallization or Wind Intensified Enhanced Evaporation) and 

to reduce the brine disposal environmental impact and cost; 

• increase the sustainability of desalination process by reducing 

energy consumption(evaluation of MD, demonstration of a 

new energy recovery device for SWRO installations)and u se 

of renewable energy (wind and solar).

Modelling & Statistics 

Guidelines for Using Activated 

Sludge Models 

Authors: IWA Task Group on Good Modelling 

Practice - Leiv Rieger, Sylvie Gillot, Guenter 

Langergraber, Takayuki Ohtsuki, Andy Shaw, 

Imre Takacs, Stefan Winkler 

Mathematical modelling of activated 

sludge systems is used widely for plant 

design, optimisation, training, controller 

design and research. The quality of 

simulation studies varies depending on 

the project objectives, finances and 

expertise available. Consideration has to 

be given to the model accuracy and the 

amount of time required carrying out a 

simulation study to produce the desired 

accuracy. Inconsistent approaches and 

insufficient documentation make quality assessment and 

comparison of simulation results difficult or almost impossible. A 

general framework for the application of activated sludge 

models is needed in order to overcome these obstacles. 

The genesis of the Good Modelling Practice (GMP) Task Group 

lies in a workshop held at the 4th IWA World Water Congress 

in Marrakech, Morocco where members of research groups 

active in wastewater treatment modelling came together to 

develop plans to synthesize the best practices of modellers 

from all over the world. The most cited protocols were 

included in the work, amongst others from: Hochschulgruppe, 

STOWA, BIOMATH and WERF. 

The goal of the group was to set up an internationally accepted 

framework to deal with activated sludge models in practice. 

This framework makes modelling more straightforward and 

systematic especially for consultants and other practitioners. 

Additionally, it helps to define quality levels for simulation 

results, a procedure to assess this quality and to assist in the 

proper use of the models. The goals can be summarised as 

follows: 

1. Set-up of an internationally accepted framework for activated 

sludge modelling, with a strong emphasis on the quality 

control of simulation studies. 

2. The framework should be targeted towards practitioners and 

consultants and therefore cost aspects are very important. 

3. Identify and classify different model application goals together 

with the appropriate effort to obtain results with sufficient 

quality to meet the objectives of the study. 

The GMP Task Group hopes to achieve these objectives 

through the publication of a Scientific and Technical Report 

entitled Guidelines for Using Activated Sludge Models. 

The GMP Task Group has developed a Unified Protocol and 

an Application Matrix as the basis for the modelling framework. 

The Unified Protocol was developed by synergizing the best 

salient features of several published modelling protocols and 

consists of five major steps: 

1. Project definition 

2. Data collection and reconciliation 

3. Plant model set-up 

4. Calibration and validation 

5. Simulation and result interpretation 

The Application Matrix consists of a list of 14 typical modelling 

applications and indicates the relative rigour with which each 

of the Unified Protocol steps should be carried out for the 

particular application. 

This book provides an introduction to learning Good Modelling 

Practice (GMP) in activated sludge modelling. 

It is of special interest for process engineers who have no prior 

knowledge of modelling, and can be used as a textbook, and a 

modelling reference book.

Urban Drainage/Sewerage 

Flood Risk and Social Justice 

From Quantitative to Qualitative Flood Risk 

Assessment and Mitigation 

Authors: Zoran Vojinovic and Michael B. Abbott 

Flood Risk and Social Justice is a response 

to the rising significance of floods and 

flood-related disasters worldwide, an 

initiative to promote a holistic viewpoint 

of how to approach the problem of 

flood risk in a socially just way. This 

book is accordingly about socially just 

flood risk mitigation practices in which 

the process of engaging in social justice 

requires multidisciplinary approaches 

which start from social needs and 

concerns and proceed in indefinable feedback cycles where the 

acceptable social, ethical, technical and environmental norms 

and standards continuously change, leading to transcendences 

in levels of understanding and consciousness. 

In this book, the question of how to judge whether a 

risk is acceptable or not requires much deeper social 

and phenomenological considerations rather than simple 

calculations of probabilities multiplied by unwanted outcomes 

and their balancing between costs and benefits. The book 

discusses these and some other important aspects and it 

suggests that the present ‘flood management’ practice should 

adopt the social justice approach and pay particular attention on 

what is the right thing to do within a much wider context which 

does not deny the validity of modes of human understanding 

which cannot be addressed within the spirit of modern science. 

Therefore, the material presented in this book is in some parts 

philosophical and theoretical and in some other parts it is purely 

scientific and technical. 

Flood Risk and Social Justice is written to support a wide range 

of audiences and seeks to improve the dialogue between 

researchers and practitioners from different disciplines (including 

post-graduate engineering and social science students, industry 

practitioners, academics, planners, environmental advocacy 

groups and environmental law professionals) who have a 

strong interest in a new kind of social justice work that can act 

as a continuous counter-force to the various mechanisms that 

unceasingly give rise to injustices.

Utility Management 

Designing and Optimizing 

Drinking Water Treatment 

Processes 

A Guide to Conducting Investigations 

Authors: Peter M Huck and Marek M Sozanski 

Water treatment facilities normally have 

a design life of several decades or more 

and represent a major capital investment 

and normally significant ongoing 

operating costs. The optimal design of 

such facilities typically requires on-site 

investigations, and Designing and 

Optimizing Drinking Water Treatment 

Processes focuses on the important 

factors that must be considered in 

planning and conducting such 

investigations. 

It describes how to conduct bench and pilot scale investigations 

necessary for the design or optimization of individual drinking 

water treatment processes and treatment trains. The book 

includes a brief description of each process and its underlying 

theory, with references to standard works where readers can 

refresh their background. 

Guidance is provided for investigations of drinking water 

treatment processes, either for the design of new treatment 

facilities, the upgrading of existing plants or the optimization of 

processes in existing plants. General principles of experimental 

design, adapted to water treatment are included and seven 

goals for water treatment are identified. 

The principal audience for Designing and Optimizing Drinking 

Water Treatment Processes is consultants, staff of water 

treatment plants, producers of water treatment equipment and 

regulators, and postgraduate students in water treatment.

companies that went through processes 

of change and achieved their best results 

ever in just a few years. It reflects the 

personal experience of the author from 

leading processes of change in five 

different water supply/sewage 

companies, between 10 and 120 years 

old and serving from 200,000 to 

4,000,000 people. 

This practical and effective book shows: 

• how to change, modernize and make profitable oldfashioned 

organizations, 

• how to reduce water loss and promote efficiency in water 

companies, 

• how to use the savings to rehabilitate and expand 

infrastructure without increasing tariffs, 

• how to deal with overstaffing, 

• how to plan, finance, build and maintain infrastructure, 

• how to introduce innovation, 

• how to motivate people, 

• how to deal with clients, regulators, unions, shareholders, 

politicians and the press 

• how to achieve sustainability 

The case studies provide for instance, how to bring water 

losses from over 50% to below 20%, how to connect 

100,000 existing buildings to a new sewage system in 4 years 

and how to get millions of people walking along the banks of 

rehabilitated urban creeks, rivers and beaches. 

The book presents case studies, management theory, 

comparative analysis of situations reported in the literature and 

the personal experience of an author who has lead a number 

of successful processes of change in different water companies.

Technology and Equipment for 

Water Loss Management 

Authors: Malcolm Farley, Bambos Charalambous 

and Stuart Hamilton 

With increasing emphasis on conserving 

scarce water resources and maintaining 

efficiency of supply today’s water utility 

operators are increasingly encouraged to 

drive down leakage and other losses to 

the economic level. 

To help them with this task there is a 

range of equipment and techniques to 

measure, control and reduce leakage 

across the network. Some equipment 

has been around for many years, and some is relatively 

new, harnessing the rapid development in technology, 

communications and instrumentation. 

This has enabled the water loss engineer to adopt a ‘multisensor’ 

approach, utilising the whole range of technology and 

selecting an appropriate mix of equipment for specific network 

characteristics and site locations. 

Technology and Equipment for Water Loss Management 

is a guide for planning the required tasks for water loss 

management, including upgrading the network operating 

practices and records, for equipment selection and 

procurement, and for using the equipment. 

Aimed at practitioner level - supply and operations engineers, 

leakage control managers, technicians, and field operators, 

it is also invaluable as a teaching source book for courses on 

environmental management, resource management, and water 

operations.

Sustainable Treatment and 

Reuse of Municipal Wastewater 

For Decision Makers and Practicing Engineers 

Authors: Menahem Libhaber 

and Alvaro Orozco Jaramillo 

In many countries, especially in 

developing countries, many people are 

lacking access to water and sanitation 

services and this inadequate service is 

the main cause of diseases in these 

countries. Application of appropriate 

wastewater treatment technologies, 

which are effective, low cost (in 

investment and especially in operation 


22 




and maintenance), simple to operate, proven technologies, is a 

key component in any strategy aimed at increasing the 

coverage of wastewater treatment. 

Sustainable Treatment and Reuse of Municipal Wastewater 

presents the concepts of appropriate technology for 

wastewater treatment and the issues of strategy and policy 

for increasing wastewater treatment coverage. The book 

focuses on the resolution of wastewater treatment and disposal 

problems in developing countries, however the concepts 

presented are valid and applicable anywhere and plants based 

on combined unit processes of appropriate technology can 

also be used in developed countries and provide to them the 

benefits described. 

Sustainable Treatment and Reuse of Municipal Wastewater 

presents the basic engineering design procedures to obtain 

high quality effluents by treatment plants based on simple, low 

cost and easy to operate processes. The main message of 

the book is the idea of the ability to combine unit processes 

to create a treatment plant based on a series of appropriate 

technology processes which jointly can generate any required 

effluent quality. 

A plant based on a combination of appropriate technology 

unit processes is still easy to operate and is usually of lower 

costs than conventional processes in terms of investment and 

certainly in operation and maintenance. 

Chapters in the book are organized in a practical and accessible 

way to: 

• demonstrate selected unit process of appropriate technology 

and provide the scientific basis, the equations and the 

parameters required to design the unit processes, with some 

innovations developed by the authors. 

• highlight design procedures for selected combined processes 

which are in use in developing countries. 

• propose an innovative Orderly Design Method (ODM), 

which is easy to follow by practicing engineers, using the 

equations and formulas developed, once the fundamentals of 

each unit and combined process have been established. 

• provide a numeric example for the basic design of each 

selected appropriate technology process for a city with a 

population of 20,000 using the ODM and an Excel program 

which will be provided to the readers for download from an 

online web page. 

This book is a valuable and practical resource for all wastewater 

treatment engineers in field and the operational managers of 

waste treatment facilities.

Chemistry of Ozone in Water and 

Wastewater Treatment 

From Basic Principles to Applications 

Authors: Clemens von Sonntag 

and Urs von Gunten 

Even though ozone has been applied for 

a long time for disinfection and oxidation 

in water treatment, there is lack of 

critical information related to 

transformation of organic compounds. 

This has become more important in 

recent years, because there is 

considerable concern about the 

formation of potentially harmful 

degradation products as well as 

oxidation products from the reaction 

with the matrix components. In recent years, a wealth of 

information on the products that are formed has accumulated, 

and substantial progress in understanding mechanistic details of 

ozone reactions in aqueous solution has been made. Based on 

the latter, this may allow us to predict the products of as yet 

not studied systems and assist in evaluating toxic potentials in 

case certain classes are known to show such effects. Keeping 

this in mind, Chemistry of Ozone in Water and Wastewater 

Treatment: From Basic Principles to Applications will discuss 

mechanistic details of ozone reactions as much as they are 

known to date and apply them to the large body of studies on 

micropollutant degradation such as pharmaceuticals and 

endocrine disruptors that is already available. Extensively 

quoting the literature and updating the available compilation of 

ozone rate constants will give the reader a text at hand on 

which his research can be based. Moreover, those that are 

responsible for planning or operation of ozonation steps in 

drinking water and wastewater treatment plants will find salient 

information in a compact form that otherwise is quite disperse. 

A critical compilation of rate constants for the various classes 

of compounds is given in each chapter, including all the recent 

publications. This is a very useful source of information for 

researchers and practitioners who need kinetic information on 

emerging contaminants. Furthermore, each chapter contains 

a large selection of examples of reaction mechanisms for the 

transformation of micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals, 

pesticides, fuel additives, solvents, taste and odor compounds, 

cyanotoxins.

Wastewater Treatment: Source 

Separation and Decentralisation 

Editors: Tove A. Larsen, Kai M. Udert 

and Judit Lienert 

During the 1990s, several groups started 

working on source-separating 

technologies for wastewater treatment. 

Source separation was not new, but had 

long been propagated as a cheap and 

environmentally friendly technology for 

the poor. The novelty was the 

discussion whether source separation 

could be a sustainable, resource efficient 

alternative to existing end-of-pipe 

systems, even in urban areas and 

industrialized countries. 

Since then, sustainable resource management and many 

different source-separating technologies have been investigated, 

thereby developing the theoretical framework and also possible 

technologies to a more mature state. At the same time, many 

interesting technologies for the processing of combined or 

concentrated wastewaters have been developed, which are 

equally suited for the processing of source-separated domestic 

waste(water). 

Growing water scarcity is one of the main drivers for new 

approaches in wastewater management. Based on the insight 

that water will be an important limiting factor for the quality of 

urban life, it is increasingly questioned whether the paradigm of 

sewer-based wastewater treatment is the only valid technical 

solution for urban water management. Wastewater Treatment: 

Source Separation and Decentralisation sets up a comprehensive 

view of the resources involved in urban water management 

and the potential of source separation and decentralisation 

to provide viable alternatives to sewer-based urban water 

management. 

The book presents a comprehensive view of the State of the 

Art of source separation and decentralisation and the technical 

possibilities and practical experience with source separation 

in different countries around the world. The area is in rapid 

development, but many of the fundamental insights presented 

in this book will stay valid. 

Wastewater Treatment: Source Separation and Decentralisation 

is intended for all professionals interested in wastewater 

management, whether or not they are familiar with source 

separation. 

Contents: 

• Introduction: Why Question the Prevailing Paradigm of 

Wastewater Management? 

• The Advantages of Source Separation and Decentralisation: 

Energy 

• The Main Challenges of Source Separation and 

Decentralisation: Implementation of Decentralised 

Technologies in Cities 

• Potential Technologies for Source Separation: Collection and 

Separation of Wastewater Fractions

Uncertainty in Wastewater 

Treatment Design and Operation 

Addressing Current Practices and Future 

Directions 

Editors: Evangelina Belia, Marc Neumann, Lorenzo 

Benedetti, Bruce Johnson, Sudhir Murthy, Peter 

Vanrolleghem and Stefan Weijers 

Uncertainty in Wastewater Treatment 

Design and Operation aims to facilitate 

the transition of the wastewater 

profession to the probabilistic use of 

simulators with the associated benefits of 

being better able to take advantage of 

opportunities and manage risk. 

There is a paradigm shift taking place in 

the design and operation of treatment 

plants in the water industry. The market 

is currently in transition to use modelling and simulation while 

still using conventional heuristic guidelines (safety factors). Key 

reasons for transition include: wastewater treatment simulation 

software advancements; stricter effluent requirements that 

cannot be designed for using traditional approaches, and 

increased pressure for more efficient designs (including energy 

efficiency, green house gas emissions control). 

There is increasing consensus among wastewater professionals 

that the performance of plants and the predictive power of 

their models (degree of uncertainty) is a critical component of 

plant design and operation. However, models and simulators 

used by designers and operators do not incorporate methods 

for the evaluation of uncertainty associated with each design. 

Thus, engineers often combine safety factors with simulation 

results in an arbitrary way based on designer ‘experience’. 

Furthermore, there is not an accepted methodology (outside 

modelling) that translates uncertainty to assumed opportunity 

or risk and how it is distributed among consultants/contractors 

and owners. 

Uncertainty in Wastewater Treatment Design and Operation 

documents how uncertainty, opportunity and risk are currently 

handled in the wastewater treatment practice by consultants, 

utilities and regulators. The book provides a useful set of 

terms and definitions relating to uncertainty and promotes an 

understanding of the issues and terms involved. It identifies 

the sources of uncertainty in different project phases and 

presents a critical review of the available methods. Real-world 

examples are selected to illustrate where and when sources of 

uncertainty are introduced and how models are implemented 

and used in design projects and in operational optimisation. 

Uncertainty in Wastewater Treatment Design and Operation 

defines the developments required to provide improved 

procedures and tools to implement uncertainty and risk 

evaluations in projects.

Benchmarking of Control 

Strategies for Wastewater 

Treatment Plants 

Editors: Krist V Gernaey, Ulf Jeppsson, 

Peter A Vanrolleghem, John B Copp 

and Jean-Philippe Steyer 

Wastewater treatment plants are large 

non-linear systems subject to large 

perturbations in wastewater flow rate, 

load and composition. Nevertheless 

these plants have to be operated 

continuously, meeting stricter and 

stricter regulations. 

Many control strategies have been 

proposed in the literature for improved 

and more efficient operation of 

wastewater treatment plants. Unfortunately, their evaluation 

and comparison – either practical or based on simulation – is 

difficult. This is partly due to the variability of the influent, to 

the complexity of the biological and biochemical phenomena 

and to the large range of time constants (from a few minutes 

to several days). The lack of standard evaluation criteria is also 

a tremendous disadvantage. To really enhance the acceptance 

of innovative control strategies, such an evaluation needs to be 

based on a rigorous methodology including a simulation model, 

plant layout, controllers, sensors, performance criteria and test 

procedures, i.e. a complete benchmarking protocol. 

This book is a Scientific and Technical Report produced by 

the IWA Task Group on Benchmarking of Control Strategies 

for Wastewater Treatment Plants. The goal of the Task 

Group includes developing models and simulation tools that 

encompass the most typical unit processes within a wastewater 

treatment system (primary treatment, activated sludge, sludge 

treatment, etc.), as well as tools that will enable the evaluation 

of long-term control strategies and monitoring tasks (i.e. 

automatic detection of sensor and process faults). 

Work on these extensions has been carried out by the

Biological Phosphorus Removal 

Activated Sludge Process in 

Warm Climates 

Author: Cao Ye Shi 

Biological Phosphorus Removal Activated 

Sludge Process in Warm Climates 

presents the results of detailed research 

on the Enhanced Biological Phosphorus 

Removal (EBPR) activated sludge 

process under warm climate conditions 

(20oC - 30oC), which is part of the R & 

D program of Public Utilities Board 

(PUB) Singapore. The investigations and 

studies presented in this book are 


24 




application-oriented, but at the same time the studies aim at an 

insightful understanding of the EBPR with the knowledge of the 

latest development in academic field. The focus points are: 

• EBPR performance of laboratory-scale and full-scale activated 

sludge processes under the site conditions in warm climates; 

• The carbon competition and distribution between PAO and 

GAO (and denitrifiers) in the process; 

• The stoichiometry and kinetics of P-release, COD uptake 

in the anaerobic environment and P-uptake in the aerobic 

environment under different temperatures and operating 

conditions; 

• PAO and GAO population fractions, shift and dominance 

studies using FISH and batch tests; 

• The inter-relationships between the system performance, 

process design and the microbial community; 

• EBPR for industrial wastewater (high ratio of feed COD/P) 

treatment under warm climates. 

Together with the preceding book – Biological Nitrogen Removal 

Activated Sludge Process in Warm Climates – published by IWA 

in 2008, this book fills the gap of biological nutrient (nitrogen 

and phosphorus) removal in warm climates and provides 

unique experiences and knowledge for Process and design 

researchers and engineers in wastewater research, students 

and academic staff in Civil/Sanitation/Environment Departments, 

as well as Managers, Engineers and Consultants in water 

companies and water utilities.

Reduction, Modification and 

Valorisation of Sludge 

REMOVALS 

Editors: Azael Fabregat, Christophe Bengoa, Josep 

Font and Frank Stueber 

The adoption of the Urban Waste 

Water Treatment Directive requires 

sewage sludge to be subsequently 

treated and the Sewage Sludge Directive 

regulates the uses and properties of 

stabilised sludge for being either recycled 

or disposed. Both directives drive 

specific actions in two complementary 

ways. 

Reduction, Modification and Valorisation 

of Sludge aims at developing strategies for the disposal and 

reuse of waste sludge. It aims to develop several processes 

for reducing both amount and toxicity of sludge, with 

simultaneous transformation into green energy vectors such as 

methane or hydrogen. Mesophilic and mainly thermophilic and 

autothermophilic conditions are explored as classical alternatives 

for sludge stabilisation, assuring sanitary conditions of the 

treated sludge. Valuable materials are obtained from sludge, 

such as activated carbons, which are used in conventional 

adsorption processes and in innovative advanced oxidation 

processes. 

Guidelines are provided for technology selection in agreement 

with the geographic, economic and technical characteristics 

of the sewage plants, demonstration of the feasibility of new 

applications for the sewage sludge, manufacturing of activated 

carbon from sludge sewage as innovative recycling of sludge 

waste, and a deep understanding of the methods involved.

Wastewater Sludge: Second 

Edition 

A Global Overview of the Current Status and Future 

Prospects 

Editor: Ludovico Spinosa 

Following a successful first edition 

published in 2007, the follow-up 2011 

edition of Wastewater Sludge - A Global 

Overview of the Current Status and Future 

Prospects will present an updated and 

expanded perspective on developments 

in relation to wastewater sludge around 

the world. 

Sludge arising from wastewater 

treatment represents a serious 

environmental issue, requiring technological and management 

solutions to ensure it is processed in a safe and economically 

efficient manner. Extension of sewers, the construction of new 

wastewater treatment facilities and the upgrading of existing 

wastewater plants means the amount of sludge to be handled 

continues to increase. Alongside this, aspects relating to energy 

consumption and sustainable operation need to be considered. 

Within this general picture, sludge is generated in different 

technical, economic and social contexts around the world, 

demanding that different approaches need to be taken. 

The 2011 edition of this report provides a strategic overview 

of the wastewater sludge market around the world, based on 

regional and country contributions. These look at the current 

situation in terms of sludge generation, legislation, technology 

applied and management management approaches. These 




25


will then look at anticipated developments over the short / 

medium term, including expected developments in terms of 

legislation and the technology and management solutions to 

be implemented. These will be complemented by longer term 

perspectives also. 

The report has been prepared for the Market Briefing Series 

of the International Water Association’s magazine Water21, 

with input from IWA’s network of wastewater sludge experts 

around the world. 

Contributions in the 2011 edition are due to include Western 

Europe, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Eastern Europe, Turkey, USA, 

Canada, Latin America / Caribbean, Colombia, Brazil, East Asia, 

Korea, Malaysia, South Asia, China, Africa, and Australasia.

Nitrification 

Editors: Bess B. Ward, Daniel J. Arp, 

and Martin G. Klotz 

Over the past 15 years, the use of 

modern molecular biological approaches 

has radically advanced our understanding 

of nitrification processes. With chapters 

contributed by leading experts in the 

field, Nitrification fully reviews all the 

latest research findings on microbes 

involved in conventional aerobic 

nitrification, anaerobic ammonia 

oxidation, and related processes. 

The book begins with an overview of 

the current state of the field. Next, the four principal groups 

of nitrifying microbes are examined in separate sections, 

covering conventional aerobic bacterial ammonia oxidizers, 

recently discovered aerobic archaeal ammonia oxidizers, 

anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing planctomycetes, and nitriteoxidizing 

bacteria. Within each section, readers can gather 

current information on the ecology, phylogeny, biochemistry, 

molecular biology, and genomics of each group of microbes. 

The authors also discuss the latest industrial applications of 

nitrification and anammox processes. The final section of the 

book explores the ecology of nitrification in marine, freshwater, 

soil, and wastewater environments. 

By reviewing all aspects of nitrification in one place, Nitrification 

introduces novices to the field and brings experienced 

researchers up to date with all the latest perspectives. Extensive 

references at the end of each chapter guide readers to the 

field’s growing body of primary research, making this book the 

ideal starting point for any investigation of nitrifying microbes.

Handbook on Particle 

Separation Processes 

Editors: Arjen Van Nieuwenhuijzen 

and Jaap Van der Graaf 

Particles in water play an important role 

in all kinds of water quality and 

treatment issues. Since the early

production and treatment, the main goal 

of water purification was primarily the 

removal of water turbidity in order to 

produce clear water free from visible 

particles. 

The Handbook on Particle Separation 

Processes provides knowledge and expertise from a selected 

group of international experts with a wealth of experience 

in the field of particles and particle separation in water and 

wastewater treatment. 

The Handbook on Particle Separation Processes includes an 

edited selection of presentations and workshops held at the 

academic summer school Particle Separation in Water and 

Wastewater Treatment, organised under the supervision of the

Optimizing Private Sector 

Participation in the Water 

Sector 

Cledan Mandri-Perrott and David Stiggers 

Public sector funding and resources are 

often inadequate to meet increasing 

demands for investment and effective 

management, and a growing case history 

shows increasing involvement by the 

private sector in provision of 

infrastructure and services through PPP 

arrangements. The objective of this 

book is to determine, and make 

recommendations on, means of 

optimizing the use of Public Private 

Partnerships (PPP) in development of infrastructure whilst 

ensuring the sustainable long term provision of water and waste 

water services. The focus is on providing detailed 

recommendations on contractual issues and contract structures 

to achieve this objective. 

Optimizing Private Sector Participation in the Water Sector: 

• Identifies what is needed to establish effective and sustainable 

water and wastewater service reform when using a PPP 

arrangement, and importantly how those issues can be 

addressed contractually. 

• Provides specific recommendations of a comprehensive and 

detailed approach to contract drafting to ensure effective, 

sustainable and long term provision of water and wastewater 

services, including an approach for adaptation of public 

procurement procedures for PPP arrangements. 

• Recommends a proposed approach to dealing with the 

influence of imperfect or unavailable data on the long term 

effectiveness or sustainability. 

This is a practical and pragmatic book in which the author 

shares his considerable experience on devising and 

implementing PPPs in the water sector. It is aimed primarily 

at practitioners working with developing countries but 

its recommendations will also be suitable for application 

in developed countries. It will also be a useful reference 

for postgraduates and academics studying infrastructure 

development.

Decision Support 

for Water Framework 

Directive Implementation 

Volume 3 

Editor: Peter A Vanrolleghem 

Decision Support for Water Framework 

Directive Implementation: Volume 3 is a 

concrete outcome from the Harmoni- 

CA concerted action as part of a 

4-volume series of Guidance Reports 

that guide water professionals through 

the implementation process of the 

Water Framework Directive, with a 

focus on the use of ICT-tools (and in 

particular modelling). They are 

complementary to the Guidance 

Documents produced by the EU Directorate General for 

Environment. 

Water resources planning and management and the 

development of appropriate policies require methodologies 

and tools that are able to support systematic, integrative and 

multidisciplinary assessments at various scales. It also requires 

the quantification of various uncertainties in both data and 

models, and the incorporation of stakeholders participation 

and institutional mechanisms into the various tools and risk 

assessment methodologies, to help decision makers understand 

and evaluate alternative measures and decisions.

Governance 

Lessons for a Sustainable Future 

Editors: Tapio Katko, Petri S. Juuti and Klaas Schwartz 

Water policies around the world are in 

urgent need of reform. Despite 

improvements in some sectors and 

countries, progress on meeting national, 

regional and international goals for 

managing and securing access to water 

for all has been uneven. Rallying 

policymakers around a positive water 

reform agenda needs to be a high 

priority and calls for strong political 

commitment and leadership. 

This report on Meeting the Water Reform Challenge brings 

together key insights from recent OECD work and identifies 

the priority areas where governments need to focus their 

reform efforts. It calls for governments to focus on getting 

the basics of water policy right. Sustainable financing, effective 

governance, and coherence between water and sectoral 

policies are the building blocks of successful reform.

Risk Assessment for Water 

Infrastructure Safety 

and Security 

Authors: Anna Doro-on 

One of the seventeen critical 

infrastructures vital to the security of the 

United States, the water supply system 

remains largely unprotected from the 

threat of terrorism, including possible 

revenge by Al Qaeda over the killing of 

Osama Bin Laden. Recognizing and 

identifying prospective events of 

terrorism against the water infrastructure 

is critical to the protection of the nation, 

as the consequences triggered by a 

terrorist attack on the water supply would be devastating. Risk 

Assessment for Water Infrastructure: Safety and Security provides 

a unique quantitative risk assessment methodology for 

protection and security against terrorist contamination, 

vandalism, attacks against dams, and other threats to water 

supply systems. 

Focusing on the human safety, environmental, and economic 

consequences triggered by potential terrorist attacks and other 

threats, the book presents: 

• The development of an integrated approach of risk 

assessment based upon the cumulative prospect theory 

• The qualitative/quantitative processes and models for security 

and safe facility operations as required by EPA, DHS, and 

other governmental and regulatory agencies 

• The application of an integrated model to the risk assessment 

of surface water, dams, wells, wastewater treatment facilities, 

reservoirs, and aqueducts of large urban regions 

• The development of intelligence analysis incorporating risk 

assessment for terrorism prevention 

Finally, Risk Assessment for Water Infrastructure: Safety and 

Security presents the legal and regulatory requirements 

and policy related to the protection and security of water 

infrastructure from terrorism and natural hazards to both 

human health and the environment. By analyzing potential 

terrorist risks against the water supply, strategic improvements 

in U.S. water infrastructure security may be achieved, 

including changes in policy, incorporation of intrusion detection 

technology, increased surveillance, and increased intelligence.
