Elsevier Water Conservation and Wastewater Treatment in BRICS Nations: Technologies, Challenges, Strategies and Policies

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. Review A thorough reference on policies and technical knowledge regarding the management of water resources in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS nations) About the Author Dr Pardeep Singh is presently working as Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Science, at PGDAV College, University of Delhi, New Delhi, India The area of his doctoral research is degradation of organic pollutants through various indigenous isolated microbes and by using various types of photocatalytic. Dr. Milshina is currently working as a Leading expert at National Research University Higher School of Economics in Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge, Moscow, Russia. She has obtained her master degree in economics at Lomonosov Moscow State University, 2013. Her PhD thesis is about Mechanisms for managing public-private partnership projects in conditions of financial and economic instability. She has 10 years of work and research experience in the field of STI and foresight: from business consulting of innovative companies and startups to managing global technology trend monitoring project on University’s level (https://issek.hse.ru/trendletter/). She has published more than 10 research papers (2 of them in Q1 and Q2). Her present research fields are global technology trend monitoring and ecological and climate trends research (including water management and pollution). She is also currently working on Russia Foresight 2030, Moscow innovative project. Dr Tain is currently working as a Lecturer, Dept. Biological Chemical Engineering, and Tianjin University of Science & Technology, Tianjin, and P. R. China. He has obtained his BS in Biotechnology, Yantai University, Yantai, P. R. China in 2006. His PhD thesis is about Conversion of glycerol to lactic acid with metabolically engineered Escherichia coli. He has 13 years of work and research experience in the field of Biotechnology. He has published about 20 nation and international publication in the areas of Biotechnology, Industrial synthesis process and wastewater treatment technology. He has also four innovation patents. He is also the member of various academic societies. 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.
