Abstract

"Nombre de grands lacs de la planète ne sont, en réalité, pas assez vastes pour faire face aux usages qui en sont faits par les activités humaines, telles qu'elles se déploient depuis plus d'un siècle. Les limites de ces macro-écosystèmes à dimension continentale se manifestent par toute une série de pathologies qui les affectent et qui s'accompagnent d'une dégradation des services écosystémiques rendus : pêche, approvisionnement en eau, autoépuration, dilution des pollutions, services culturels et récréatifs, etc. En outre, l'ensemble des tensions en cause s'exerce désormais dans un contexte de multi-stress dû au changement climatique. La taille 'grand lac', l'inertie et la complexité dont elle dote les systèmes concernés, se traduit par des conditions d'expositions et de réponses inédites, difficiles à intégrer en termes de gestion. L'ouvrage propose une analyse pluridisciplinaire de diverses expériences de restauration menées sur des grands lacs de la planète (réussites et échecs). Riche d'enseignements sur la sauvegarde et la préservation du patrimoine lacustre mondial, cette étude ouvre des pistes de réflexion sur les futurs défis écologiques à relever pour préparer les systèmes 'lac-bassin versant-société' à la nouvelle donne, en termes de climat et de pollution. Ce livre est destiné aux étudiants, enseignants et chercheurs, aux gestionnaires des milieux lacustres, ainsi qu'au grand public intéressé par la préservation et la restauration des grands lacs"--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

This book is a product of Brazilian Academy of Sciences Study Group about water issue. The water cycle was addressed based on an integrated point of view, aiming at joining technological and ecological solutions and integrating quantitative and qualitative aspects of this important environmental asset. Issues such as the water resources management and irrigated agriculture, water and health, water and economy, conservation and reuse as management tools, water in the Brazilian semi arid, water in Amazon, urbanization and water resources, education for the sustainability of water resources, groundwater, availability, pollution and eutrophication of water and science, technology and innovation are of the utmost importance for this exact moment in Brazil, and particularly to the State of Sao Paulo. Addressing these issues will undoubtedly contribute towards a sustainable management of water resources trough the coordinated work of different fields of science, progressing a systemic view about water, that would then finally allow management professionals the possibility of an integral action in anticipating problems and thus anticipate solutions. .

Abstract

The book addresses the entire water cycle. The focus is on new technologies/processes (especially in high performance biological treatment), energy recovery, water recycling and reuse. Recommendations with regard to the right technologies/processes for specific situations are provided. In addition, the most modern water terminology with more positive connotations is used. This is especially important in the field of direct and indirect potable reuse (DPR and IPR respectively).

Abstract

This volume contains most of the scientific contributions to the workshop ``Prediction of Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution: Model Selection and Application'' held in Venice, in the historic Ca' Vendramin Calergi, in June, 1984. Other contributions of specialists who were not able to attend the workshop have also been included in an attempt to make the work more complete.It is hoped that this collection will be useful to planners who operate in the field of agricultural diffuse source pollution, since several contributions are state-of-the-art presentations and others are specialized stud

Abstract

Considering the worldwide problem of aquatic pollution, we proposed this reprint, which presents a collection of articles on different aspects of environmental pollution, from monitoring to the evaluation of toxicity. In particular, the volume concerns the issues specifically related to emerging contaminants in aquatic environments, such as plastics and pharmaceuticals. However, to confer to this volume a more holistic view, some articles on priority pollutants, such as heavy metals and pesticides, are also reported.
