Book Description
Le programme mondial des Nations Unies pour l'évaluation des ressources en eau (WWAP) est hébergé par l'UNESCO. Le WWAP rassemble les travaux de 31 membres d'ONU-Eau et de 38 partenaires pour publier le Rapport mondial des Nations Unies sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau (WWDR). Le Rapport mondial sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau porte sur des questions stratégiques liées à l'eau. Les membres et partenaires d'ONU-Eau, tous des experts dans leurs domaines respectifs, révèlent les découvertes les plus récentes sur un thème spécifique. L'édition de 2017 du Rapport mondial sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau porte sur les " eaux usées " et vise à informer les décideurs, à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur de la communauté de l'eau, sur l'importance de la gestion des eaux usées en tant que source sous-évaluée et durable d'eau, d'énergie, de nutriments et d'autres sous-produits récupérables, plutôt que quelque chose à éliminer ou une nuisance à ignorer. Le titre du rapport, Les eaux usées : Une ressource inexploitée, traduit le rôle crucial que les eaux usées sont appelées à jouer dans le contexte d'une économie circulaire, dans laquelle le développement économique s'équilibre avec la protection des ressources et la durabilité de l'environnement, et où une économie plus propre et plus durable a un effet positif sur la qualité de l'eau. L'amélioration de la gestion des eaux usées est essentielle non seulement à la réalisation de l'Objectif de développement durable portant sur l'eau et l'assainissement (ODD 6), mais aussi à d'autres objectifs du Programme de développement durable à l'horizon 2030. Dans un monde où la demande en eau douce augmente sans cesse, et où les ressources en eau limitées subissent de plus en plus des contraintes du fait de la surexploitation, de la pollution et des changements climatiques, il est tout simplement impensable de négliger les opportunités qu'offre l'amélioration de la gestion des eaux usées.

Advanced Technology for Smart Environment and Energy
Author: Jamal Mabrouki
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 303125662X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
This book presents smart energy management in the context of energy transition. It presents the motivation, impacts and challenges related to this hot topic. Then, it focuses on the use of techniques and tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) to solve the challenges related to this problem. A global diagram presenting the general principle of these techniques is presented. Then, these techniques are compared according to a set of criteria in order to show their advantages and disadvantages with respect to the conditions and constraints of intelligent energy management applications in the context of energy transition. Several examples are used throughout the white paper to illustrate the concepts and methods presented. An intelligent electrical network (smart grid—SG) includes heterogeneous and distributed electricity production, transmission, distribution and consumption components. It is the next generation of electricity network able to manage electricity demand (consumption/production/distribution) in a sustainable, reliable and economical way taking into account the penetration of renewable energies (solar, wind, etc.). Therefore, a (SG) smart grid also includes an intelligent layer that analyzes the data provided by consumers as well as that collected from the production side in order to optimize consumption and production according to weather conditions, the profile and habits of the consumer. In addition, this system can improve the use of green energy through renewable energy penetration and demand response.

From Traditional to Modern African Water Management
Author: Chrispin Kowenje
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031096630
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
This book preserves and scientifically interprets the African foreknowledge on water resources management. It offers insight into the relevance of the traditional knowledge and practices to modern approaches on sustainable water management. The African continent has partially preserved its natural habitat for centuries. In this book, this knowledge is combined with the current scientific understanding. The traditional practices are categorized as: i) water harvesting, ii) water transportation, iii) water storage and conservation, iv) water treatments, v) myths and folk stories about water management or conservation, vi) water resource management systems, and vii) soil–water–forest conservation/management systems sub-topics. The findings presented here are in line with SDG 6, which aims at ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all by the year 2030.

Pathways and Challenges for Efficient Desalination
Author: Muhammad Wakil Shahzad
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 1839688769
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
Due to industrialization and increasing population, water demand continues to grow at compound annual growth rates of 7–8%. The current demand is also intensified by increased water utilization for hand washing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, around 20,000 desalination plants operating around the world produce 100 million cubic meters of water per day to supply 300 million people. These desalination plants are a major source of environmental and marine pollution due to their inefficient operation. Scientists and researchers are encouraged to develop out-of-box solutions to achieve future sustainability. This book addresses key challenges related to the desalination industry.
