The objective of this research is to capture householders' views and experiences related to drinking water and domestic wastewater treatment systems (DWWTS), including public health concerns and experience accessing the septic tank remediation grant. Capturing data on the level of maintenance...

Steadily increasing demand for water poses a threat to sustainable development, and an increasing number of regions are chronically short of water. Putting caps on water consumption, increasing water use efficiencies, and supporting improved sharing of water resources are now critical to...

The issue of sludge utilization from wastewater treatment in agriculture is an important socio-economic and environmental problem in the European Union (EU) and Bulgaria. It is becoming topical issue along with constantly growing amount of produced wastewater treatment sludge, deficiency of...

An increased energy recovery efficiency can be obtained from biomass waste due to coupling hydrothermal carbonation (HTC) with anaerobic digestion (AD). This study focused on optimizing the total energy yield (TEY) from sewage sludge (SS) and pinewood sawdust (PS) in co-HTC-AD coupling process,...

Privatization of a public good (the management of sewage treatment centers in Dakar, Senegal) leads to an increase in the productivity of downstream sewage dumping companies and a decrease in downstream prices of the services they provide to households. We use the universe of legal dumps of...

This is a rejoinder to a comment written by Cutler and Miller on our recent paper, "Public Health Efforts and the Decline in Urban Mortality" (IZA DP No. 11773), which reanalyzes data used by Cutler and Miller to investigate the determinants of the urban mortality decline from 1900 to 1936. Two...

Using data on 25 major American cities for the period 1900-1940, we explore the effects of municipal-level public health efforts that were viewed as critical in the fight against food- and water-borne diseases. In addition to studying interventions such as treating sewage and setting strict...

The objective of this paper is a theoretical and empirical analysis and evaluation of the role, importance and opportunities of the water-sewage-sludge industry in the implementation of the circular economy. To realize this objective, a review of both the literature and the EU strategic...

Despite public approval from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (Miljøstyrelsen), farmers have proven reluctant to accept wastewater sludge as a source of fertilizer. They are in fact still being paid for accepting it. Based on interviews with key stakeholders, a review of the...

Water treatment process produces great amount of sludge. According to growing interest in sustainable development and environment protection, sludge management problem should be taken into consideration. Accordingly, its recovery, recycling and reuse are optimal solutions for Water Treatment...

This paper analyses the interdependency of water and energy in India's wastewater sector. Wastewater treatment plants consume a great deal of energy. Energy-efficient technologies are available, but are only spreading slowly in developing countries. In India, only 10% of all wastewater generated...

"This book discusses the fundamentals of and recent advances oxidation processes for water and wastewater. It highlights the basic rule in water and wastewater management in particular discussions on the importance of adhering the water management hierarchy in the overall management systems"--

"This book addresses topics in Industrial wastewater treatment and disposal. It will cover the different aspects of environmental engineering related to water and wastewater treatment processes and systems and control studies as well as solid and hazardous waste management emerging from such...

"This book examines the various treatment technologies and their application for producing reuse quality water from wastewater. It also covers topics such as the basic philosophy of wastewater treatment, designing principles of various wastewater treatment units, conventional treatment systems,...

"Forming the 10th volume from this successful international conference series, this book presents the work of scientists, practitioners and other experts regarding recent technological and scientific developments associated with the management of surface and sub-surface water resources."

Water is a scarce resource in Israel. With fluctuating supplies and an increasing demand, the need for using alternative water sources such as reclaimed wastewater, brackish groundwater and desalinated seawater increases. This paper investigates the economy-wide effects of a de-clining supply of...
