Abstract

Sponsored by the Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste Engineering Committee of the Environmental Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers Green Technologies for Sustainable Water Management describes science-based principles and technological advances behind green technologies that can be effective solutions to pressing environmental problems. Today’s challenge for sustainable water management is to develop environmentally friendly, economically viable, and energy-efficient processes for treating and preserving the world’s limited water resources. Successful approaches will provide a high removal-efficiency of pollutants and nutrient recovery while also reducing the carbon footprint, minimizing waste, and protecting human health and the environment. Following an overview of water as a valuable resource, this 28-chapter book provides in-depth information on current various green technologies associated with sustainable water and wastewater management. It considers various aspects of pollution prevention, control, remediation, and restoration. The applications of these technologies toward a sustainable society are considered, and needs for future research and development are identified. Researchers, students, scientists, engineers, government officials, and process managers will find this book an excellent source of comprehensive, state-of-the-art material on green technologies for sustainable water management.

Abstract

Sponsored by the Atmospheric Water Management Standards Committee of the Standards Development Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE Guidelines for Cloud Seeding to Augment Precipitation, Third Edition, supplies the practical details for implementing a cloud seeding project to enhance precipitation efficiency. This technology for atmospheric water management provides a cost-effective means for supplementing available water supplies and reducing damage caused by meteorological events. Cloud seeding offers determinable benefits, such as increased agricultural output and hydroelectric power production, salinity reduction, and strengthened ski industries, while also improving water supplies for fish and wildlife, recreation, municipalities, and industry. This revised and updated Manual of Practice incorporates pertinent background on the science and practice of weather modification through the use of cloud seeding that has developed over the past 10 years. It also presents additional methods of evaluation for such programs or projects. Topics include: social, environmental, and economic aspects; legal aspects associated with weather modification operations; the scientific basis for precipitation enhancement; cloud seeding modes and instrumentation and the updated state of the technology; and steps in the implementation of a cloud seeding program. MOP 81 is an essential guide to cloud seeding for professionals involved in water resources management and weather modification, as well as government regulators and those in industry who may benefit from the enhanced precipitation.
