Treatise on Water Science

Water quality and management are of great significance globally, as the demand for clean, potable water far exceeds the availability. Water science research brings together the natural and applied sciences, engineering, chemistry, law and policy, and economics, and the Treatise on Water Science seeks to unite these areas through contributions from a global team of author-experts. The 4-volume set examines topics in depth, with an emphasis on innovative research and technologies for those working in applied areas.

Published in partnership with and endorsed by the International Water Association (IWA), demonstrating the authority of the contentEditor-in-Chief Peter Wilderer, a Stockholm Water Prize recipient, has assembled a world-class team of volume editors and contributing authorsTopics related to water resource management, water quality and supply, and handling of wastewater are treated in depth
