The Role of Natural and Constructed Wetlands in Nutrient Cycling and Retention on the Landscape
Natural and constructed wetlands play a very important role on the landscape and their ecological services are highly valuable. In fact, some wetland types are regarded as one of the most valuable ecosystems on the Earth. Water management, including flood water retention, biomass production, carbon sequestration, wastewater treatment and biodiversity sources, are among the most important ecological services of wetlands. The book is aimed at the use of constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment and for the evaluation of various ecosystem services of natural wetlands. Special attention is paid to the role and potential use of wetlands on the agricultural landscape. The book presents up-to-date results of ongoing research and the content of the book could be used by wetland scientists, researchers, engineers, designers, regulators, decision-makers, universities teachers, landscape engineers and landscape planners as well as by water authorities, water regulatory offices or wastewater treatment research institutions.
Environmental Chemistry
With clear explanations, real-world examples and updated ancillary material, the 11th edition of Environmental Chemistry emphasizes the concepts essential to the practice of environmental science, technology and chemistry. The format and organization popular in preceding editions is used, including an approach based upon the five environmental spheres and the relationship of environmental chemistry to the key concepts of sustainability, industrial ecology and green chemistry. The new edition provides a comprehensive view of key environmental issues, and significantly looks at diseases and pandemics as an environmental problem influenced by other environmental concerns like climate change.

Wetland Technology
Water quality standards across the world are being re-written to promote healthier ecosystems, ensure safe potable water sources, increased biodiversity, and enhanced ecological functions. Treatment wetlands are used for treating a variety of pollutant waters, including municipal wastewater, agricultural and urban runoff, industrial effluents, and combined sewer overflows, among others. Treatment wetlands are particularly well-suited for sustainable water management because they can cope with variable influent loads, can be constructed of local materials, have low operations and maintenance requirements compared to other treatment technologies, and they can provide additional ecosystem servi...
Advances in Energy, Environment and Materials Science
The International Conference on Energy, Environment and Materials Science (EEMS2015) was held in Guangzhou, China, from August 25 - 26, 2015. EEMS2015 provided a platform for academic scientists, researchers and scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results within the fields of energy science, energy technology, environmental science, environmental engineering, motivation, automation and electrical engineering, material science and engineering, the discovery or development of energy, and environment and materials science.
PENGELOLAAN AIR LIMBAH DOMESTIK
Air memiliki peran penting dalam kesejahteraan individu, masyarakat dan ekonomi sekitarnya. Air limbah rumah tangga merupakan penyumbang terbesar polusi air di Indonesia. Jumlah penduduk yang besar berdampak pada jumlah polusi air yang dihasilkan. Untuk mereduksi jumlah limbah domestik yang dihasilkan, telah dilakukan berbagai upaya dalam mengolah limbah tersebut. Namun, kendala yang dihadapi yaitu besarnya biaya yang dibutuhkan dan sulitnya jangkauan masyarakat dalam menangani permasalahan tersebut (Wirawan dkk, 2014). Permasalahan air limbah domestik di Indonesia sudah menjadi permasalahan yang serius. Sebagian besar masyarakat Indonesia membuang air limbah domestiknya langsung ke lingkung...
Potencialidades da infraestrutura verde para a cidade do Rio de Janeiro
Este livro busca discutir sobre as potencialidades da infraestrutura verde para mitigação de enchentes e poluição dos corpos hídricos na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Para descortinar essas problemáticas de ordem ambiental, foi elaborada uma retrospectiva sobre as principais transformações feitas pela sociedade sobre o ambiente natural para construção da cidade "espremida" entre o mar e a montanha, e como tais modificações foram responsáveis pelos problemas em questão. Além da extensa e diversificada bibliografia sobre o Rio de Janeiro, este livro também traz um aporte teórico sobre o conceito de infraestrutura verde desde precursores como Howard, Olmstead (século XIX); McHarg,...
Humedales para Tratamiento
Humedales para tratamiento es el séptimo volumen de la serie “Tratamiento biológico de aguas residuales” (en inglés “Biological Waste Water Treatment Series”), que provee una presentación de vanguardia sobre la ciencia y tecnología del tratamiento de aguas residuales. Los principales tipos de sistemas de humedales son tratados en este volumen, a saber: (i) Humedales de flujo subsuperficial horizontal, (ii) Humedales de flujo vertical; (iii) Humedales de flujo vertical tipo francés; (iv) Humedales intensificados; (v) Humedales de flujo libre; (vi) otras aplicaciones de los humedales para tratamiento. El libro presenta en forma clara y didáctica, los conceptos básicos, los principios de la tecnología, desempeños esperados, criterios de diseño, ejemplos de diseño, aspectos constructivos y guías para la operación. El libro ha sido escrito en su versión inglesa, y traducido al castellano, por un equipo internacional de expertos en el campo de los humedales para tratamiento.
