Green Technologies for Sustainable Water Management: Introduction and Overview

Abstract: As such, issues could be identified holistically and solved effectively from multiple sectors without creating other troubles and complications.  Avoiding poor investments and expensive mistakes. Decision-making based on short-term, segmented view would be rarely effective in the long-haul and can trigger unsustainable gains, unforeseen consequences and lost opportunities. Worse still, it is often the environment that has been sacrificed, together with negative consequences for both social and economic develo… Show more

“…According to a recent estimation, about one-fifth of the world’s population has limited water resource. The pollutants in surface waters come mostly from industrial activity: heavy metals, dyes, fats, antibiotics, hormones and other pollutants [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”

“…Energy consumption is often cited as an important and highly valued aspect of technology greenness (Barcelos et al 2018;Bolla et al 2011;Ngo et al 2016). Energy efficient technologies often offer a cobenefit of reduced long-term operational costs; this is mainly attributed to their passive nature and dependence on non-energy intensive processes (e.g., naturally occurring biological activity) to achieve treatment goals (Neoh et al 2016;Wu et al 2015).…”

“…In contrast, the use "green technology" in the water industry tends to reflect approaches that may be linked to, but not necessarily reliant upon natural capital. Notably, while the "green" descriptor is frequently used interchangeably with "sustainable" (Ngo et al 2016), sustainability analysis typically considers broad impacts on the environment, the economy, and society (Purvis et al 2019). While life cycle analysis is regularly included in technology evaluation and selection in the water industry, all of the pillars of sustainability are not typically reflected in decision-making-even when they are discussed, trade-offs are of course required because of economic limitations.…”
