Produktbeschreibung

The central theme of this volume is innovations in decentralized green water-infrastructure systems (DGWIS). This volume presents a discussion of cross-disciplinary knowledge-base and case studies of DGWIS around the world. Topics include: (1) uses of locally available alternative water sources in urban settings; (2) smart technologies applied to urban water management system; (3); integrating locally available renewable energy use in urban water management system; (4) food-water-energy nexus in urban environments; and (5) decentralized disaster mitigation strategies in urban environments. This volume serves as a reference source for researchers and graduate-level instruction and a valuable guide for practice engineers and landscape planners interested and involved in holistic and resilient water management practices in urban environments.
