In urban areas, storm water picks up pollution mainly from impervious surfaces and conveys it through pipes either directly to recipients or to a wastewater treatment plant. An alternative to this approach is ecological storm water management, where polluted storm water is treated and volumes are reduced through a variety of techniques that include infiltration, retention/detention, bio filters, and structural controls.

The process of planning, developing, distributing and managing the optimum use of water resources is called Water Resource Management. Save water save life!
Waste Water Treatment and Water Management is an extension of the efforts to compile the treatment and management process of water along with its existing policies into one book. The author believes that the policymakers must rethink on 'Polluter pays principle' and if possible, need to redesign this concept as it somewhere gives freedom to damage the environment if one has enough money to pay.
On World Water Day, we explore the history, challenges, and vital importance of this global cause. Learn about innovative initiatives addressing water issues, and find out how you can make a difference in ensuring everyone has access to clean, safe water.
I'm a 1st year Master student in Water Resources Engineering with a double major in L.A. and Env Studies for my undergrad. This is for inspiration and things that are just plain awesome. If you have any questions just ask...
Learn all about sustainable agriculture, a system that values the planet at its core. Explore agricultural practices like effective soil management, water conservation, and many more.
This is third in the ongoing series of blogs on Urban India Going Underwater. Read the first and second blogs here. In the last few years many Indian cities have started working on interventions aimed at flood-proofing and stormwater management at various scales. Bhopal’s green-blue smart city plan, Delhi’s Masterplan 2041, Chennai’s water as leverage initiative, all address at an urban policy and development guidelines scale. Other cities are experimenting with landscape design led solutions to tackle the flood fury such as Chennai and Bengaluru with recharge wells.
This book is a comprehensive study of modern and traditional water supply systems. A water supply system is an interrelated compilation of sources, pipes, and hydraulic control elements delivering set water quantities at preferred pressures and water qualities. This book incorporates chosen topics on theory, review and realistic function models for water supply systems study, including, strategy for temporary analysis, sustainable management of local water supply systems, infrastructure asset administration, optimal pump preparation, demand improbability, errors in water meter measuring and indicators for water mains treatment.
With water retention landscapes, it is possible to provide enough freshwater for animals, plants and humans beings in every region of the world. Water is the key to a stable climate. A natural buil…
This post takes you behind-the-scenes of my co-authored book chapter by giving you a glimpse of 25 pictures of water management in Northern Oman.
Going off-grid is a great idea. It provides a way to disconnect from the modern world, giving you the serenity and peace of mind you crave. Know the highs and lows that come with off-grid life and how you can skillfully navigate them like a pro on your first attempt.
Every year on March 22nd, the world comes together to recognize International World Water Day to create awareness and advocate for Sustainable Development Goal 6: “Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all by 2030.” In 1993, The United Nations General Assembly designated the 22nd of March as the very first World Water Day. The day was …
