Описание: This unique volume provides a comprehensive overview of all the major aspects of modern drinking water systems in the western European context. It not only
covers the theoretical principles, but also the historical background and practical aspects of design and operation, legislation, planning and finance of drinking water supply in its social
and economic context. The principles and practices are illustrated using experiences from The Netherlands.
The Dutch drinking water supply is well known for its multiple
barrier systems and high technical standards. The Dutch drinking water is of high quality and does not contain chlorine, and the Dutch therefore readily drink tap water and do not see
the need to buy bottled water or in-house filters, with their drawbacks on national economics, public health and the environme
t. This illustrative overview can be used as a reference for other countries and regions.
Описание: Water treatment facilities collect, filter, and then pump water to all municipalities. As technological breakthroughs, legislation, or even population shifts occur, these facilities need to be updated or rebuilt, or new facilities need to be designed where none existed before.

Описание:
How and why branded bottles of water have insinuated themselves into our daily lives, and what the implications are for safe urban water supplies.
How did branded bottles of water insinuate themselves into our daily lives? Why did water become an economic good -- no longer a common resource but a commercial product, in industry parlance a "fast moving consumer good," or FMCG? Plastic Water examines the processes behind this transformation. It goes beyond the usual political and environmental critiques of bottled water to investigate its multiplicity, examining a bottle of water's simultaneous existence as, among other things, a product, personal health resource, object of boycotts, and part of accumulating waste matter. Throughout, the book focuses on the ontological dimensions of drinking bottled water -- the ways in which this habit enacts new relations and meanings that may interfere with other drinking water practices.
The book considers the assemblage and emergence of a mass market for water, from the invention of the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle in 1973 to the development of "hydration science" that accompanied the rise of jogging in the United States. It looks at what bottles do in the world, tracing drinking and disposal practices in three Asian cities with unreliable access to safe water: Bangkok, Chennai, and Hanoi. And it considers the possibility of ethical drinking, examining campaigns to "say no" to the bottle and promote the consumption of tap water in Canada, the United States, and Australia.
