Synopsis

Selected Proceedings of Asian Waterqual 2001, the IWA Asia-Pacific Regional Conference, held in Fukuoka, Japan, 12-15 September 2001. The world's growing population and its rising water consumption are greatly increasing the pressure on water resources; growing wastewater discharges and expanding use of chemicals are severely affecting the water environment. The new millennium confronts the water management profession and society in general with a set of challenges of unprecedented magnitude and complexity, and many of these worldwide problems are seen at their most acute in Asia. The 8th Asian Waterqual conference provided a major forum to address these issues; these selected proceedings contain 73 high-quality papers chosen after peer review. Subjects covered include: drinking water quality, treatment and distribution; wastewater treatment and reuse; environmental remediation, ecotoxicology in the aquatic environment; hazard assessment and control of microbiology; hazard assessment of micropollutants and endocrine disruptors; water quality monitoring and modeling; ecological modeling and simulation; and water resources management and protection. These papers tackle the challenges of water management, reporting scientific and technological innovations and the institutional and administrative strategies required. These proceedings will prove a major information resource for any scientist, engineer, practitioner or regulator with an interest in water quality and environmental management.
