Research and Markets: Treatise on Water Science, Four-Volume Set

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2b87c4/treatise_on_water) has announced the addition of Elsevier Science and Technology's new book "Treatise on Water Science, Four-Volume Set" to their offering.

Water quality and management are of great significance globally, as the demand for fresh water far exceeds the availability. Water science research brings together the natural and applied sciences, engineering, chemistry, law and policy, and economics. The Treatise on Water Science seeks to unite these areas through contributions from a global team of author-experts. The work examines topics in depth, with an emphasis on innovative research and technologies for those working in applied areas. Developmental/promotional partnership with the International Water Association (IWA) serves as a boon for both the authority of the content and the sales potential of the Treatise.

Editor-in-Chief Peter Wilderer, a Stockholm Water Prize recipient, has assembled a world-class team of contributors, ensuring market reach across all related sciences and a global approach to the subject.

Topics related to resource management, water quality and supply, and handling of wastewater are treated in depth-with up to 30 pages of coverage per topic, relative to a handful of pages per topic in related reference works.

Key Topics Covered:

• Preface
• Abstraction of atmospheric humidity
• Bio effects (ELISA, YES)
