“…Kurtz (2008) presented monitoring data from three Portland green roofs which suggest good ability to manage peak flow and flow volume, but with the results highly dependent on roof design and materials; runoff water quality results require additional study. Taylor (2008) A life cycle assessment (LCA) was used to compare the energy requirements and CO 2 emissions of rain gardens and sand filters in New Zealand (Andrew & Vesely, 2008). Reed beds, membrane bioreactors, membrane chemical reactors, and an innovative green roof water recycling system were compared as alternative means of recycling household grey water, with technologies based on natural treatment processes (green roofs or reed beds) resulting in the lowest environmental impacts (Memon et al, 2007).…”

This review section covers journal articles and conferences papers on sustainability that were published from 2006 to 2008. The literature review has been divided into the following sections 1 : • Sustainable water and wastewater utilities The sustainable water and wastewater utilities reviewed sustainable practices and sustainable workforce management including workforce development, knowledge retention and information sharing, succession planning, and financing. The stormwater and green Infrastructure considered a variety of low impact development (LID) design and technologies and green infrastructures. The wastewater technologies reviewed wastewater treatment, anaerobic technologies, low impact and natural treatment systems, and residuals and emissions management. The sustainability and energy in wastewater industry discussed energy conservation, production and recovery. The sustainability and climate change reviewed greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from water and wastewater industries, the impacts of climate change and reducing carbon footprint.The sustainability and water reuse considered water reclamation and reuse in municipal, industrial, and agricultural settings
