Potable Water Quality Standards and Regulations: A Historical and World Overview -- Global Potable Water: Current Status, Critical Problems and Future Perspectives -- Coping with Emerging Contaminants in Potable Water Sources -- Drinking Water Distribution: Emerging Issue in Minor Water Systems -- The Effects of Water Energy Nexus on Potable Water Supplies -- Municipal Wastewater - A Rediscovered Resource for Sustainable Water Reuse -- Advances in Desalinisation Technologies: Solar Desalinisation -- Bottled Water: Global Impacts and Potential. This volume presents a unique and comprehensive glimpse of current and emerging issues of concern related to potable water. The themes discussed include: (1) historical perspective of the evolution of drinking water science and technology and drinking water standards and regulations; (2) emerging contaminants, water distribution problems and energy demand for water treatment and transportation; and (3) using alternative water sources and methods of water treatment and distribution that could resolve current and emerging global potable problems. This volume will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and environmental engineering students interested in global potable water sustainability and a guide to experts affiliated with international agencies working toward providing safe water to global communities. |
