Water centric sustainable communities

This book departs from the traditional "clean water in, dirty water out" approach to establish a holistic paradigm for integrated water conservation and use in cities by embracing the three r's: reduce, reuse, recycle. This book provides the forum for lively discussion on the social concerns, technological challenges, planning issues, and economic woes putting up barriers to the reality of achieving a sustainable urban environment - and presents expert suggestions for overcoming them. This book combines landscape, water management, transportation, infrastructure, and triple bottom line assessment into one integrated system.
