Water pollution has been\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edocumented as a contributor to a wide range of health problems. In recent years, the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewater quality levels have suffered great deterioration because of rapid social and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eeconomic development and because it is used to \"dump\" a wide range of pollutants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book entitled \"Membranes for Water and Wastewater Treatment\" contains featured\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eresearch papers dealing with recent developments and advances in all aspects related to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emembranes for water and wastewater treatment: membrane processes, combined\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eprocesses (including one membrane step), modified membranes, new materials, and the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epossibility to reduce fouling and to improve the efficiency of enhanced processes.
