Dear All , Greetings from Water Today! I am working on the October 2015 issue and would like to invite you to contribute technical articles, case studies, research papers on “Wastewater Management - Recycling & Reuse Methods” and facilitate a comprehensive perspective on the same. Please find below the theme note and do let us know if you could send us your article. Theme Note The greatest challenge today is water crisis resulting from rapidly growing population, urbanization, industrialization, food production practices, increased living standards and poor water use practices and wastewater management strategies. Besides this, there is also burgeoning wastewater problem globally, as 90% of the world’s city population is not connected to sewer systems and more than 50% of diseases are caused by polluted water. Water being a pre-requisite for any industrial development has to be treated. As 70% of water is used by agriculture, it is increasingly being recognized that there should be enough provision for growing food. Moreover, it has also been accepted that wastewater management plays a vital role in achieving future water security in a world where water stress will increase. This is becoming increasingly a global problem as urban populations are projected to nearly double in 40 years, from current 3.4 billion to over 6.0 billion people. Thus, wastewater management should consider the sustainable management of wastewater from source to re-entry into the environment and not only concentrate on single or selected areas or segments of the service provision process. Although recycling and reuse of wastewater are in place, currently, in many locations this is largely on an unplanned/ indirect basis, resulting from the use of water that has been contaminated with untreated or poorly treated wastewater. While there is clearly a need for effective and appropriate wastewater management and reuse systems, implementation of strategies is not necessarily straightforward and there are a number of issues such as governance, financial aspects, barriers to innovation and data needs that require addressing. The October 2015 issue on Wastewater Management - Recycling & Reuse Methods will be focusing on adopting a strategic approach to wastewater management, optimizing the recycling and re-use of wastewater, the role of improved monitoring of wastewater and identification of wastewater and its vital role in sustainable development. We would like to invite you to share your experiences in the form of articles, technical papers and case studies with our readers. Please inform us of your intent to contribute at the earliest, so that we can evaluate the articles for the publication.
