      abstract = {It is widely known that water is becoming a scarce,  precious resource for an increasing number of people. In  the near future, access to quality water will be even  harder for an ever growing population in a scenario  characterized by environment degradation and climate  change. To reduce the consequences of these threats, it is  mandatory to implement efficient water management measures.  This is a difficult task because adequate water management  must consider administrative (socio-economic and political)  actions and technological and scientific advances, as well.   This book provides an updated picture of relevant studies  regarding water management around the world. The  manuscripts presented here cover the three main aspects of  a well-designed water management strategy mentioned above,  including administrative (risk assessment, education, water  use and conservation) and technological and scientific  aspects (domestic and industrial water treatment, emergent  pollutants, sorption, precipitation, among others). Thus,  the book is highly recommended to teachers, researchers,  technicians and managers dealing with water management in  any of their varied components.},
