Drinking water and wastewater treatment is a subject of global importance. This is because the existence of human life and other life forms depend on water quality. However, over time, with the emergence of a plethora of water contaminants with different chemical properties, the variability of water treatment methods and process conditions and properties of water treatment absorbents, and the choice of suitable and cost-effective water treatment approaches is becoming complex. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool for simulation and solving complex problems. In recent years, studies have shown the utility of AI in water research and water resource management.
This book describes the application of AI in water resource management and discusses AI applications in areas such as technology, economy, management, wastewater reuse, and optimization of water treatment processes. Covering topics such as pollutant detection and removal, water reuse, and water resource management, this book is an excellent resource for government officials, non-profit organizations, environmental groups, engineers, students and faculty of higher education, researchers, academicians, and more.
