Opis

This book emphasizes sustainable water use through circular economy innovations, addressing the urgent need for efficient water management in various sectors. This approach integrates principles of reducing, reusing, and recycling water resources, fostering resilience against climate change and resource depletion.  The Conceptual Water Efficiency Framework (CWEF) promotes circular water use in industries by implementing closed-water loops and digital tools, enhancing sustainability in sectors like chemicals and meat production (Karkou et al., 2024). The Water Circular Economy Index (WCEI) quantitatively assesses water management across 132 countries, identifying critical areas for improvement in sustainable practices (Peydayesh & Mezzenga, 2024). The Water in Circular Economy and Resilience (WICER) Framework outlines actions to deliver resilient water services while preserving natural systems, particularly in developing countries (Delgado et al., 2024). This book investigates how water sustainability and circular economy can solve the world s water problems. It offers a global approach that bridges environmental science, economics, policy, and technological advancement to provide practical recommendations for water consumption sustainability. The book provides practical advice, case studies, and future plans for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and future plans for researchers, policymakers, practitioners and students. It would be an appropriate book to add to the discussion of water sustainability. With real-world issues, creative solutions, and a vision for the future, the book aims to empower policymakers and stakeholders to achieve a sustainable and water-secure world.
