The production of drinking water requires adequate management. This book attempts to fill the existing knowlegde gap about (a) water treatment technologies and their costs, (b) risk assessment methods, (c) adverse health effects of chemical contaminants, (d) management protocols, and varying regulatory practices in different jurisdictions, and what successes are possible even with small financial outlays. Addressing water consulting engineers, politicians, water managers, ecosystem and environmental activists, and water policy researchers, and being clearly structured through a division in four parts, this book considers theoretical aspects, technologies, chemical contaminants and their possible elimination, and illustrates all aspects in selected international case studies. Source-water protection, water treatment technology, and the water distribution network are critically reviewed and discussed. The book suggests improvements for the management of risks and financial viability of the treatment infrastructure, as well as ways toward an optimal management of the distribution network through the risk-based management of all infrastructure assets.Springer Water,2364-6934Environmental managementEnvironmental economicsWater pollutionWater qualityEnvironmental healthEnvironmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000Environmental Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000Waste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollutionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35040Water Quality/Water Pollutionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/212000Water and Healthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/213000Environmental management.Environmental economics.Water pollution.Water quality.Environmental health.Environmental Management.Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.Environmental Economics.Waste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.Water Quality/Water Pollution.Water and Health.333.7363.7394363.73946553.752.04.16EP-CLASSDore Mohammed Hauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut124493BOOK9910299439303321Global Drinking Water Management and Conservation2530670UNINA
