Sustainable Water Treatment and Management covers broad water and environmental engineering aspects relevant to water resources management as well as the treatment of storm water and wastewater. It provides a descriptive overview of complex 'black box' systems and related design issues and comprehensively discusses the design, operation, maintenance, as well as water quality monitoring and modelling of traditional and novel wetland systems. Further, it provides an analysis of asset performance, the modelling of treatment processes and the performance of existing infrastructure in both developed and developing countries as well as the sustainability and economic issues involved. The book serves as a useful reference for all concerned with the built environment, including town planners, developers, engineering technicians, water and agricultural engineers and public health workers.

Features:

• Presents the latest research findings in wastewater treatment.
• Includes international case studies and multi-disciplinary research projects.
• Explains treatment options that are applicable to any and all climatic regions.

DProf. Prof. Miklas Scholz, cand ing, BEng (equiv), PgC, MSc, PhD, DSc, CWEM, CEnv, CSci, CEng, FHEA, FIEMA, FCIWEM, FICE, Fellow of IWA, Fellow of IETI, serves as a Distinguished Professor at Johannesburg University, South Africa. He is a Senior Researcher at the South Ural State University, The Russian Federation.

Miklas is also the Head of the Department for Urban Drainage at the Construction and Service Oberursel, Germany, a Technical Specialist for Nexus by Sweden and a Hydraulic Engineer at Kunststoff‑Technik Adams, Germany.
He has published 9 books and 325 journal articles in 130 different journals. Prof. Scholz has total citations of 16,207 (10,262 citations since 2019), resulting in an h‑index of 61 and an i10‑index of 242. He belongs to the top 2% academics regarding the i10‑index in the past five years. In addition, Miklas featured in the list of the World’s Top 2% Scientists, published by Stanford University.

A bibliometric analysis of all constructed‑wetland-related publications and corresponding authors with a minimum number of 20 publications and 100 citations indicates that Miklas ranked fifth in the world among 70 authors (including those who have sadly passed away).

In 2019, Prof. Scholz was awarded EURO 7M for the EU H2020 REA project – Water Retention and Nutrient Recycling in Soils and Streams for Improved Agricultural Production (WATERAGRI). He received EURO 1.52M for the JPI Water 2018 project – Research‑based Assessment of Integrated approaches to Nature‑based SOLUTIONS (RAINSOLUTIONS).
