Water in Mineral Processingby Jaroslaw Drelich
SME 2012; US$ 109.00One of the major challenges confronting the mining and minerals processing industry in the 21st century will be managing in an environment of ever decreasing water resources. Because most mineral processing requires high water use, there will be even more urgency to develop and employ sustainable technologies that will reduce consumption and the discharge of process-affected water. Water in Mineral Processing provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art examination of this vital issue. A compilation of papers presented at the First International Symposium on Water in Mineral Processing, this book shares the insights of dozens of respected experts from industry and academia. A significant portion of the content is devoted to... more...
Water Policy Reformby John Quiggin; Sarah Chambers; Thilak Mallawaarachchi
Edward Elgar Publishing 2012; US$ 40.00Agriculture in the Murray Darling Basin of Australia represents a controversial 'policy experiment' comprising large capital investments, innovation and enterprise over a 100 year period. This book, which contains contributions from some of Australia's foremost economic, social science and public policy researchers and writers, examines the evolution of public policy frameworks that transformed water management from initial exploitation for irrigation as a dominant single use to a dynamic multiple use resource system.

Municipal Wastewater Treatmentby Andrew Stoddard; Jon B. Harcum; Jonathan T. Simpson; James R. Pagenkopf; Robert K. Bastian
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 170.00A thorough analysis of public policy and the Clean Water Act's effect on water quality in the U.S. Using water quality data and historical records from the past 60 years, this book presents the measured impact of the 1972 Clean Water Act on domestic waterways-ecologically, politically, and economically. Municipal Wastewater Treatment supports the hypothesis that the Act's regulation of wastewater treatment processes at publicly owned treatment works (POTW) and industrial facilities has achieved significant success. The authors' case is presented in: * Background information on the history of water pollution control and water quality management * Chapters addressing long-term trends in biochemical oxygen demand loadings from municipal wastewater... more...
