Existen diversos procesos de desalinización y se diferencian por el tipo de agua que se integra en el sistema, los impactos ambientales generados, los costos, su comportamiento con energías renovables, la calidad del producto, la energía consumida, el rango de capacidades a las que trabajan, la aplicabilidad en un contexto dado, su estabilidad y facilidad de uso. Mediante la comparación de procesos térmicos y de membranas, se encontraron las diferentes tecnologías utilizadas para el proceso de desalinización del agua de mar y agua salobre. El objetivo de este estudio consistió en comparar sistemas térmicos (Destilación en Múltiple Efecto (MED), Flashing en Múltiple Efecto (MSF) y Compresión de vapor (MVC)) y de membranas (Electrodiálisis (ED/EDR) y Osmosis Inversa (OI)) mediante el uso de criterios ambientales, económicos, técnicos y sociales. Estos se usaron para organizar una matriz y diversos escenarios que llevarán a determinar cuál de esos sistemas correspondería a una opción viable para un cierto contexto, enfocándose en el caso estudio de una comunidad indígena Wayuu en Siapana en La Guajira, Colombia. Por medio de una revisión bibliográfica sobre aspectos económicos, ambientales, técnicos y complementándolos mediante una visita a la comunidad (para tomar información social/cultural y de su posible relación con cada uno de estos sistemas) se llegó a conocer cuál/es sistemas serían óptimos por su eficiencia, dado un escenario. Para el caso del agua salobre se conoció que los sistemas que implementan Electrodiálisis únicamente (con y sin paneles solares), se acomodan de una mejor manera al contexto establecido. Para el contexto de agua salada, el sistema de Ósmosis Inversa se destacó por ser apto para una aplicación donde se haga uso de una fuente de agua con niveles de concentración de sal superiores.

For information on the online course in Biological Wastewater Treatment from UNESCO-IHE, visit: http://www.iwapublishing.co.uk/books/biological-wastewater-treatment-online-course-principles-modeling-and-design Over the past twenty years, the knowledge and understanding of wastewater treatment have advanced extensively and moved away from empirically-based approaches to a first principles approach embracing chemistry, microbiology, physical and bioprocess engineering, and mathematics. Many of these advances have matured to the degree that they have been codified into mathematical models for simulation with computers. For a new generation of young scientists and engineers entering the wastewater treatment profession, the quantity, complexity and diversity of these new developments can be overwhelming, particularly in developing countries where access is not readily available to advanced level tertiary education courses in wastewater treatment. Biological Wastewater Treatment addresses this deficiency. It assembles and integrates the postgraduate course material of a dozen or so professors from research groups around the world that have made significant contributions to the advances in wastewater treatment. The book forms part of an internet-based curriculum in biological wastewater treatment which also includes: Summarized lecture handouts of the topics covered in book Filmed lectures by the author professors Tutorial exercises for students self-learning Upon completion of this curriculum the modern approach of modelling and simulation to wastewater treatment plant design and operation, be it activated sludge, biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal, secondary settling tanks or biofilm systems, can be embraced with deeper insight, advanced knowledge and greater confidence.

This book provides a systematic and comprehensive guide to the current state of knowledge on tourism and water. It is the first book to thoroughly examine the interrelationships of tourism and water use based on global, regional and business perspectives. Its assessment of tourism's global impact along with its overviews of sectoral and management approaches will provide a benchmark by which the water sustainability of tourism will be measured for years to come. In making a clear case for greater awareness and enhanced water management in the tourism sector, it is hoped that the book will contribute to the wise and sustainable use of this critical resource. The book is interdisciplinary in coverage and international in scope. It is designed as essential reading for not only students of tourism but also practitioners.

"While water professionals have been advocating comprehensive water reforms for years and many countries have improved their water policies and institutions, some of the most politically sensitive elements of reform remain untouched. This report suggests that a series of factors are now emerging that represent a potential opportunity to break this impasse." "Making the Most of Scarcity will be of interest to readers working in the areas of agribusiness and markets, agriculture, urban and rural development, water supply, and water resources, as well as to those responsible for setting policies in the areas of environment, economics, and social protection."--BOOK JACKET.

Cities of Tomorrow is a critical history of planning in theory and practice in the twentieth century, as well as of the social and economic problems and opportunities that gave rise to it. Trenchant, perceptive, global in coverage, this book is an unrivalled account of its crucial subject. The third edition of Cities of Tomorrow is comprehensively revised to take account of abundant new literature published since its original appearance, and to view the 1990s in historical perspective. This is the definitive edition, reviewing the development of the modern planning movement over the entire span of the twentieth century.
