Water Conservation and Wastewater Treatment in Brics Nations

Water Conservation and Wastewater Treatment in BRICS Nations: Technologies, Challenges, Strategies, and Policies addresses issues of water resources--including combined sewer system overflows--assessing effects on water quality standards and protecting surface and sub-surface potable water from the intrusion of saline water due to sea level rise. The book's chapters incorporate both policies and practical aspects and serve as baseline information for future adaption plans in BRICS nations. Users will find detailed important information that is ideal for policymakers, water management specialists, BRICS nation undergraduate or university students, teachers and researchers.

Dr. Deepak Gusain is a post-doctoral fellow at the Institute for Water and Wastewater Technology, Durban University of Technology, researching new materials for remediation of inorganic contaminants. His B.Sc. General Gr(B) with Botany, Zoology and Chemistry as core subjects is from Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College, University of Delhi. He also holds an M.Sc. in Environmental Studies from the School of Environmental Studies (now the Department of Environmental Studies) at the University of Delhi and a Ph.D. from the Department of Chemistry of the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi. His Ph.D. research focused on the remediation of chromium and cadmium from aqueous solution using nano-crystalline material. In addition to this, he investigated the effect of linear and non-linear curve fitting on estimation of isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters.
Dr. Joao Paulo Bassin is currently working as Adjunct Professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He obtained his master degree in Chemical Engineering from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2008), and a PhD degree in Environmental Engineering Technology/Environmental Biotechnology from Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands (2012).
