"This book looks at the problem of water scarcity. The book also provides a review of practical solutions that are being applied in some countries and can be applied to other areas. Short-term solutions are discussed for emergency situations such as natural disasters, and unexpected migration of populations. Examples of short-term solutions are water and sanitation kits, temporary package treatment systems, hauling water in bottles or in tankers. Long-term solutions in demand management and increase in production are discussed. Demand management includes water conservation in all sectors. Examples of water conservation in agriculture are described in the book to include Drip Irrigation, Tree Root Irrigation, Use of Drones, Sensors and E-agriculture, Urban Agriculture, Indoor Farming, and Vertical Farming, and Selective Agriculture based on water footprint data. Water re-use in industrial and commercial applications is also covered. The book covers water production improvements using examples like Cloud Seeding, Harvesting Rainwater, Capturing Stormwater (community or large watershed areas), Extracting Water from Moist Air, Recycled Water, Groundwater Replenishment, and Desalination. Water treatment enhancements for nitrate removal, pesticide treatment, plastic removal, and point-of-use treatment devices are discussed in the book. The book places high importance on resilience in water systems to cope with unexpected conditions such as climate change, natural disasters, wars, and migrations. One of the problems in constructing water facilities is lack of funding and project management skills. This book discusses existing sources of funding and provides new ideas in creative financing to make water projects attractive to investors. This book is recommended to water industry professionals, governments, students in water resources, and financial agencies interested in funding water projects. The readers will learn lessons from practical solutions used by others in various countries with a view to applying those lessons to their own needs. This book does not get into theories. It provides practical solutions that are being applied in different parts of the world. That makes this book different from others"-- Provided by publisher.
