Water Management and Circular Economy covers the role of water in the mainstream dimensions of society, economy, environment/ecology and technology. Along with the under conceptualization of the Circular Economy (CE), the book covers the role of recycling and reusing the otherwise lost sources of waste, gray or untapped water sources towards a second round of utility. This book bridges the gap between water inflows in nature with the wide spectrum of its potential applications in humanity. Sections cover direct and indirect entities conceptualized as “outflows,” including water, energy, products and services to urban, suburban, rural and insular contexts of analysis.
As such, this content will be important reading for Water Scientists, Water Managers, and civil engineers.
