1. Solar Powered Wastewater Recycling
2023 by Arun Kumar, Sandhya Prajapati



The United Nations anticipates that by 2025, around two-thirds of the global population will confront water scarcity, particularly in developing countries where more than 80% are already grappling with this issue. This predicament calls for immediate action in wastewater recycling to address scarcity problems and enhance the responsible management of wastewater resources. Wastewater recycling encompasses both the treatment and reuse of municipal wastewater, offering a sustainable solution for environmental conservation and helping meet the escalating water demands for agriculture, industry, and various other sectors. Presently, water and wastewater treatment facilities consume substantial amounts of energy, primarily derived from fossil fuels. "Solar Powered Wastewater Recycling" investigates the potential of integrating solar power as a comprehensive approach to fulfill the energy requirements of the water and wastewater sector through renewable technologies, fostering a harmonious relationship between water management and renewable energy generation.

3. Advances in Biological Treatment of Industrial Waste Water and their Recycling for a Sustainable Future
2018 by Ram Lakhan Singh, Rajat Pratap Singh



In the face of burgeoning industrialization, the effective management of waste generated by diverse industries has emerged as an imposing challenge. Wastewater discharged from industrial and commercial sources often carries pollutants at levels that pose threats to receiving waters and potable water supplies. Countless small and large-scale industrial entities dispose of their waste, frequently containing toxic and hazardous elements, into open areas and adjacent water bodies. Over the past three decades, numerous instances of severe and enduring environmental harm and human health repercussions caused by these industries have come to the forefront. "Advances in Biological Treatment of Industrial Wastewater and Their Recycling for a Sustainable Future" primarily centers on the biological treatment of wastewater originating from diverse industries. It provides comprehensive insights into the origins and characteristics of such wastewater, followed by detailed accounts of the biological techniques employed for their treatment. Individual chapters delve into wastewater treatment in sectors like pulp and paper mills, tanneries, distilleries, sugar mills, the dairy industry, wine production, textiles, pharmaceuticals, food processing, oil refining, fertilizers, and beverage bottling, encompassing wastewater attributes, the assessment of biological treatment methods, and wastewater recycling. Featuring accessible language, straightforward explanations, and a solid framework for grasping the intricate nature of biological wastewater treatment processes, this book serves as a valuable reference for scientists, researchers, educators, and engineers, offering quick insights into various facets of biological industrial wastewater treatment.

5. Wastewater Recycling, Reuse, and Reclamation
2009 by Saravanamuthu Vigneswaran



While the total freshwater supply on Earth far surpasses human demand, water scarcity persists in numerous regions due to two primary factors. Firstly, the distribution of water in terms of time and location is uneven, leading to water being in the wrong place or at the wrong time and in inadequate quantities. Secondly, the increasing population and expanded industrial activities not only heighten the demand for available water resources but also pose a threat to their availability by introducing pollutants into freshwater sources. During such critical junctures when the rising demand for water intersects with the fluctuating availability of water, the recycling, reuse, and reclamation of wastewater emerge as vital solutions. These practices are now widely accepted as effective means to conserve water resources and prevent polluted waters from contaminating other clean water sources. "Wastewater Recycling, Reuse, and Reclamation" offers a comprehensive overview of water quantity and quality, basic water supply and sanitation systems, and progresses towards the reuse of domestic, agricultural, and industrial water. This book is a valuable resource not only for technologists but also for planners, managers, and NGOs engaged in the water sector. It draws from a diverse group of experts, encompassing technology, policy, health, and economics aspects of water management, making it relevant and accessible to a wide range of readers.
