In the European Union (EU), the Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires Member States to reach the good ecological status of all water bodies by 2027 at the latest. More than 20 years after the entering into force of WFD, achieving this objective remains a challenge, with only about 40% of surface waters in good or high ecological status. There are several issues that hamper achieving the WFD objective, two of which are the topic of this Doctoral Thesis: i) the design of effective mitigation measures, which is complicated by the lack of knowledge on the quantitative links between anthropogenic pressures and ecological status, and ii) the challenging implementation of planned measures in contexts where conflicting management objectives coexist. This Doctoral Thesis aims to explore the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to address these two issues...

The emergence of a plethora of water contaminants as a result of industrialization has introduced complexity to water treatment processes. Such complexity may not be easily resolved using deterministic approaches. Artificial intelligence (AI) has found relevance and applications in almost all sectors and academic disciplines, including water treatment and management. AI provides dependable solutions in the areas of optimization, suspect screening or forensics, classification, regression, and forecasting, all of which are relevant for water research and management. Artificial Intelligence Applications in Water Treatment and Water Resource Management explores the different AI techniques and their applications in wastewater treatment and water management. The book also considers the benefits, challenges, and opportunities for future research. Covering key topics such as water wastage, irrigation, and energy consumption, this premier reference source is ideal for computer scientists, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.

This book introduces the 3R concept applied to wastewater treatment and resource recovery under a double perspective. Firstly, it deals with innovative technologies leading to: Reducing energy requirements, space and impacts; Reusing water and sludge of sufficient quality; and Recovering resources such as energy, nutrients, metals and chemicals, including biopolymers. Besides targeting effective C,N&P removal, other issues such as organic micropollutants, gases and odours emissions are considered. Most of the technologies analysed have been tested at pilot- or at full-scale. Tools and methods for their Economic, Environmental, Legal and Social impact assessment are described. The 3R concept is also applied to Innovative Processes design, considering different levels of innovation: Retrofitting, where novel units are included in more conventional processes; Re-Thinking, which implies a substantial flowsheet modification; and Re-Imagining, with completely new conceptions. Tools are presented for Modelling, Optimising and Selecting the most suitable plant layout for each particular scenario from a holistic technical, economic and environmental point of view.
