Leading-Edge Technology 2005 - Drinking Water

IWA's series of leading edge conferences on water and wastewater technology has rapidly become a key platform for exposure of crucial advances in these fields. The 2005 event saw the introduction of cross-over and forward-looking sessions and workshops bringing together practitioners from drinking water and wastewater fields to debate critical topics and exchange ideas that are likely to underpin treatment technologies in future. The presented papers were peer reviewed and this issue contains the selected articles that feature advances in drinking water treatment and water supply: membrane systems; innovative technologies; natural organic matter removal; new adsorbents and adsorption processes; and advances in disinfection. Comprising papers by some of the world's leading authorities on theses topics, these proceedings will prove highly valuable and insightful for anyone involve in research into these matters or the practical application of such techniques.
