Meanwhile, urban sprawl, industrial agriculture and engineered water infrastructure are making things worse. As our control attempts fail, we are forced to recognize an eternal truth: sooner or later, water always wins.  Award-winning science journalist Erica Gies follows water 'detectives' as they search for clues to water's past and present. Their tools: cutting-edge science and research into historical ecology, animal life, and earlier human practices. Their discoveries: a deeper understanding of what water wants and how accommodating nature can protect us and other species.  Modern civilizations tend to speed water away. We have forgotten that it must flex with the rhythms of the earth, and that only collaboration with nature will allow us to forge a more resilient future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA gripping investigation into water and the champion sleuths who research it and engage in daunting yet necessary efforts to restore health to a damaged planet * Booklist *\u003cbr\u003e[One of] the best science books coming your way in 2022 * New Scientist *\u003cbr\u003eIn this sparkling, flowing, world-spanning narrative, Gies compellingly shows why water will always win in the end, particularly in an urbanizing world facing disruptive climate change.

The other chapters include topics such as sonoenzymatic treatment processes, electroflocculation versus textile wastewater, combination of photocatalysis and membrane Separation, and enhancement of anaerobic digestion and photodegradation through adsorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFenton Process in Dye Removal\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFenton-Like Processes for the Removal of Cationic Dyes\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePlasma Degradation of Synthetic Dyes\u003c\/p\u003e  Dyes Sonolysis: An Industrial View of Process Intensification Using Carbon Tetrachloride\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMicrowave\/H2O2 Processes for Dye Removal\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCatalytic materials for dye removal in advanced oxidation process (AOPs)\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFerrite Based Magnetic Nanoparticle Heterostructures for Removal of Dyes\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMetal oxides-based nanomaterials for treatment of industrial dyes and colorants\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOperational parameters in dye decolorization via sonochemical and sonoenzymatic treatment pro-cesses\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNanoceramic Based Composites for Removal of Dyes from Aqueous Stream\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eElectroflocculation for wastewater treatment of textile industry: Overview and process variables effects\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eZnO Nanocomposites in Dye Degradation\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCarbon Nitride Application on Advanced Oxidation Processes for Dye Removal\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCombination of Photocatalysis and Membrane Separation for Treatment of Dye Wastewater\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEnhancement of anaerobic digestion and photodegradation treatment of textile wastewater through adsorption\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Verlag, Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743293059415,"sku":"9789811908842","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"introduction-to-physical-hydrology-9780199296842","title":"Introduction to Physical Hydrology","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater dominates our lives: we live on a planet with much water and our lives depend on it in many ways. Despite the seeming abundance of water on the planet - with over 70% being salt water - human activity and prevailing climate conditions are placing more pressure on our supply of water than ever before, however. With this pressure comes a need to understand the physical principles of hydrology - the study of the occurrence, movement, and physical properties of non-oceanic water on and below the earth''s surface - an understanding that can then be applied to water management and related innovations. Introduction to Physical Hydrology provides a solid grounding in the principles of the subject. Exploring the principal rules that govern the flow of water on the land, it considers the four major types of water: atmospheric, ground, soil, and surface. It gives insights into the major hydrological processes, and shows how the principles of physical hydrology inform our understanding of climate and global hydrology - the large-scale study of hydrology with which we need to grapple to fully understand the impact of the climate on water supply.The study of physical properties is done most effectively through mathematical representations of concepts and processes. Introduction to Physical Hydrology includes a carefully-developed and class-tested learning framework: an extensive range of examples and exercises, and further maths support in the form of a series of Maths Toolboxes help the reader engage with and understand the maths required to master the subject.With hydrology now being approached from environmental and social perspectives, in addition to the more traditional physical geography and civil engineering perspectives, there has never been a more important time to develop a sound understanding of the subject. Introduction to Physical Hydrology is the perfect course companion while you develop this understanding.

At the time, Anuradha Mathur and I were investigating the line that held the Mississippi River to a place in the vast alluvial plain of its making. We traced this line to the early years of European occupation and forward from there to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries when it was enforced by a hydraulic regime of levees, spillways, jetties, revetments, and cutoffs alongside a culture of prediction and modeling to prevent flood. We glimpsed the possibility at the time that Native Americans with whom Europeans clashed lived outside this \"landscape of flood.\" Their habitation was not necessarily on riverbanks exposed to the flows and floods of an entity limited by a line; it was rather \u003ci\u003ein\u003c\/i\u003e an open field of wetness that rose and fell. In other words, their difference went further than seeing the Mississippi differently; they saw a different Mississippi, a Mississippi that was not a river to begin with. To me, this was not a fact to verify; it was an opportunity to entertain in design. Irrespective though of what it was, it began weakening the grip that the river and by extension, the line separating land from water, had on my imagination.\u003cbr\u003e In the years since \u003ci\u003eMississippi Floods\u003c\/i\u003e was published, our practice has taken us to diverse places, all of which threw the line between land and water into question, whether it was in a riverbank, a coastline, or an edge of an impoundment of rain. In India, I found that this line does not just result in the exceptional flood; it results in an everyday chaos that passes for the informal, kitsch, and underdevelopment. It did not take long to see that as in the United States the line transgressed is not simply a line drawn; it is a line imposed. Furthermore, this line does not simply separate water from land; it creates water and land on either side of it as entities that can be commodified and as such coveted, made scarce and violated. Indeed, it is hard to miss the infrastructural presence of this line beneath the many pressing problems in India that are generally attributed to poverty, a colonial history, overpopulation, illiteracy, and so on. It is also hard to miss the fact that people need to be taught to see this line, draw it, and respect it. In other words, the line between land and water is not taken for granted.\u003cbr\u003e For the last five years I have sought to understand what it takes to separate water from land on the earth's surface, to naturalize this separation, and to impose it on people who today suffer the increasingly drastic consequences of its violation, particularly by the rains of the monsoon that refuse containment. The outcome is this book. It is an appreciation of the river as a remarkable feat of design made possible through the drawn line, a line that has had nothing less than nature constituted for its success, allowing it to recede into the ordinary, the everyday, and everything. Questioning it is not easy. It requires more than a critical stance, more than simply seeing things differently; it requires another ground all together, one that offers different things.\u003cbr\u003e I found this other ground in the rain of the monsoon, a wetness that is everywhere before it is water somewhere (separate from land). It does not run into rivers, nor is it harvested to assist a river-inspired infrastructure of pipes and canals; it rather operates a world without rivers, holding in everything across air, earth, and life before, if at all, flowing to the sea. I present it in this book as a world constituted in another moment of the hydrologic cycle when watery stuff is precipitating, seeping, soaking, evaporating, and transpiring in ways that defy delineation. Its otherness affords a worthy vantage from which to engage the world of rivers. As such, even as this book is about the making of rivers, it is also about the ground of habitation afforded by rain. Rain is another ground for constituting the past, present, and future.\u003cbr\u003e In the Ganges I found an interesting case study of precipitation that does not seem to want to form into a river or perhaps even be a river. Like other names on the Indian subcontinent that are classified as rivers, it keeps defying its so-called banks, erasing efforts to control its course and nullifying plans to clean its watery stuff. Many will balk at the idea of questioning the riverness of the Ganges. After all, there is little doubt that millions of people worship the Ganges as a river, rely upon a river for their infrastructural needs, and describe a river that is the lifeline of a unique civilization. However, is it possible that they look upon something that was introduced to the subcontinent, something that enforces a particular language of habitation with terms such as \u003ci\u003eland\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ewater\u003c\/i\u003e that were not shared by people who lived here? The question is worth asking given that people in India apply the name Ganga, which is seen by scholars as the vernacular equivalent of Ganges, not just to a river but also to a ubiquity that they venerate through the icon of a goddess, a ubiquity that may well be a rain-driven wetness. Indeed, there is much between the lines of texts, behind the scenes of habitation, and in the interstices of everyday life in India to suggest that this Ganga continues to exist. However, it does so in the shadows as an \"other\" ground of experience with a difference that refuses to conform to rivers and river-based ideas such as the city, history, and development.\u003cbr\u003e By questioning the place to which a name refers and venturing another with its own terms of difference, this book follows in the tradition of my previous works with Anuradha Mathur, \u003ci\u003eMississippi Floods\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDeccan Traverses\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSoak\u003c\/i\u003e. All of them put another place to a name. In \u003ci\u003eSoak\u003c\/i\u003e, for example, we presented Mumbai as an estuary where the sea and monsoon are insiders against the conventional appreciation of it as an island where they are outsiders with the monsoon an annual visitor. The latter was how British colonists saw Mumbai and how it continues to be researched, historicized, governed, and planned. Positing an estuary was not just for the sake of the city's future, which to us would be better served in the face of climate change and sea-level rise; it was also for the sake of its past and present, which we suggested is better understood on the complex and fluid ground of an estuary. Besides, from our engagement with Mumbai, it seemed very likely that people here see their place in terms of an estuary, terms that have been lost in translation to the language of an island. \u003ci\u003eSoak\u003c\/i\u003e basically reinforced the idea that emerged in \u003ci\u003eMississippi Floods\u003c\/i\u003e and was confirmed in \u003ci\u003eDeccan Traverses\u003c\/i\u003e, our project on Bangalore, which is that European colonialism did not just impose another way of seeing and knowing place; it imposed another place.\u003cbr\u003e It is then with an empathy for irreconcilable difference that this book raises the possibility that India is a rain-driven wetness rather than a land drained by rivers, which is how maps, textbooks, histories, plans, ecologies, and everyday conversation project it. Unlike places we have sought to reimage and reimagine in the past, the imposition in question here reaches far beyond the colonizing events of the last few centuries to possibly Alexander the Great, who came across the mountains from the rain shadow of Central Asia in the fourth century BCE with a geographically disciplined view of the earth's surface divided between water and land with a line that could be drawn in a map. It set the stage for rivers on the subcontinent and arguably laid the groundwork for the waves of colonization that followed, all of which survived and thrived on keeping water contained with a line. Today, the authority of the line continues in place even as it is increasingly out of place in everyday life, particularly during each monsoon.\u003cbr\u003e Is it possible for India to recover an appreciation for Ganga's Descent? The phrase recalls the fall of rain. But as this book seeks to make clear, it also necessarily calls for a defiance of Alexander's Eye, an eye that awaits the clarity of a fair-weather moment to separate water from land. Rain and river, in other words, are not merely two moments in the water cycle; they are moments that begin two inquiries, two infrastructures, two modes of design. The more one is pursued, the more it diverges from the other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48865980481879,"sku":"9780812249996","price":70.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780812249996.jpg?v=1722276481"},{"product_id":"peatlands-9781138343214","title":"Peatlands","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides an introduction to peatlands for the non-specialist student reader and for all those concerned about environmental protection, and is an essential guide to peatland history and heritage for scientists and enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeat is formed when vegetation partially decays in a waterlogged environment and occurs extensively throughout both temperate and tropical regions.

Despite their fundamental role in subsurface technologies, modeling fluid flow in fractured rocks is notoriously challenging because of their multiscale (fractal) nature, and the complex behavior that emerges from their interconnected network structure. In this book, world-leading experts Zimmerman and Paluszny present a didactive and insightful synthesis of the physics, mathematics, and computational modeling of fluid flow in fractured rock, that is

The book looks into specifically peri-urban water security issues in a context of rapid urbanization and social-environmental changes, including the changing climate and its emerging impacts. It demonstrates how urbanization processes change water flows between rural and urban areas, the implications of this processes for the water security of peri-urban populations, and how new institutions and technologies develop to mediate the relationships between peri-urban communities and water. The book seeks to further the debate on peri-urban water security, including what constitutes the peri-urban, socially differentiated access to water in peri-urban spaces, interventions for improving water access, and emerging forms of cooperation and conflict related to water access in a context of urbanization and climate change. As such, this book is an interesting read for academics with various disciplinary backgrounds, professionals working in the worlds of national and international policy, NGOs, activist groups, research and development institutes, and individual readers interested in water security and urbanization. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Introduction: Peri-Urban Water Security in South Asia\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eVishal Narain and Dik Roth\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 A New Imagination for Waste and Water in India’s Peri-Urban Interface\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSeema Mundoli, Dechamma C.S., Madhureema Auddy, Abhiri Sanfui, and Harini Nagendra\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 From Royal Canal to Neglected Canal?

In geosciences porous media research is fundamental in applications to aquifers, mineral mines, contaminant transport, soil remediation, waste storage, oil recovery and geothermal energy deposits. Despite their importance, there is as yet no complete understanding of the physical processes involved in fluid flow and transport. This fact can be attributed to the complexity of the phenomena which include multicomponent fluids, multiphasic flow and rock-fluid interactions. Since its formulation in 1856, Darcyâs law has been generalized to describe multi-phase compressible fluid flow through anisotropic and heterogeneous porous and fractured rocks. Due to the scarcity of information, a high degree of uncertainty on the porous medium properties is commonly present.

This is not only an important reference book for dam engineers but all engineers, students and interested people, who want to understand the technical aspects of dams. The author has discussed the various aspects of dam engineering and the possible solutions based on a large number of case studies rather than focusing on pure analysis aspects. It is obvious that before any analysis can be done, the problem and the possible solutions must be understood first and it has to be demonstrated that the solutions are feasible, which is shown by the examples given. […] The author has also shown that many solutions for dams are possible depending on the topography and geology as well as on the flood and seismic hazards at the site. Therefore all dams are prototypes and none is like the other. \u003cbr\u003eThe emphasis of the book is clearly on dams. However, appurtenant hydraulic structures such as spillways, surface and high head gates, bottom outlets, run-of-river power plants, locks, and pump storage plants are also discussed. \u003cbr\u003eThis book provides an overview on both the state-of-practice and state-of-the-art in dam engineering and is written in a way that it can easily be understood by non-experts as well.
