This book takes a holistic approach for water purification. All existing technologies are reviewed and evaluated against a sustainability criterion. Based on the shortcoming of existing technoloigies and overall lifestyle, new line of technologies are proposed. These technologies are all wholly sustainable, meaning they simultaneously meet environmental, economical, and technological challenges. Such technologies are presented for three categories, namely, drinking water, agricultural use, and industrial waste management. It is shown that each of the proposed technologies has the potential to turn waste into asset, thus creating double dividend.
