The focus of Water-Energy Interactions in Water Reuse is to collect original contributions and some relevant publications from recent conference proceedings in order to provide state-of-art information on the use of energy in wastewater treatment and reuse systems. Special focus is given to innovative technologies, such as membrane bioreactors, high pressure membrane filtration systems, and novel water reuse processes. A comparison of energy consumption in water reuse systems and desalination will be also provided. Water-Energy Interactions in Water Reuse covers the use of energy in conventional and advanced wastewater treatment for various water reuse applications, including carbon footprint, energy efficiency, energy self-sufficient facilities and novel technologies, such as microbial fuel cells and biogas valorisation. It is of real value to water utility managers; policy makers for water and wastewater treatment; water resources planners, and researchers and students in environmental engineering and science.

This book pursues a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach in order to analyze the relationship between water and food security. It demonstrates that most of the world's economies lack sufficient water resources to secure their populations' food requirements and are thus virtual importers of water. One of the most inspiring cases, which this book is rooted in, is Italy: the third largest net virtual water importer on earth. The book also shows that the sustainability of water depends on the extent to which societies recognize and take into account its value and contribution to agricultural production. Due to the large volumes of water required for food production, water and food security are in fact inextricably linked. Contributions from leading international experts and scholars in the field use the concepts of virtual water and water footprints to explain this relationship, with an eye to the empirical examples of wine, tomato and pasta production in Italy. This book provides a valuable resource for all researchers, professionals, policymakers and everyone else interested in water and food security

"Water, water, every where," are the well-known words included in poem 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (originally The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere), by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and published in 1798. It is based on the imagined the experiences of a sailor who has returned from a long sea voyage and is supposedly told to another guest whose reactions range from bemusement, impatience, fascination and fear.

Discusses the water crisis in Iraq, attributed to severe drought & Turkish, Iranian, & Syrian water policies that impact the flow of the Tigris, Euphrates, & Karoon rivers. The troubling state of affairs is described from the point of view of those most affected, eg, farmers & fishermen. Attention is given to the pertinent geopolitics, the implications for Iraqi reconstruction, US assistance efforts, & the rise of salt farms along the Baghdad-Basra highway. Adapted from the source document.
