Abstract

This review on Sustainability covers selected journal articles and conferences papers published in 2010 and is divided into the following sections• Sustainable water and wastewater utilities:• Sustainable water resources management• Industrial and corporate approaches towards sustainability• Stormwater and green infrastructure• Sustainability in wastewater treatment• Life cycle assessment (LCA) applications• Sustainability and energy in wastewater industry• Sustainability and climate change• Sustainability and water reuse• Sustainability rating systemsThe sustainable water and wastewater utilities reviewed sustainable practices and sustainable workforce management. The stormwater and green infrastructure (GI) described the current development in five categories: new studies of GI and low impact development (LID) system performance; GI/LID system planning assessments; macro-scale hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of GI/LID systems; efforts to model changes of water flow and quality in individual GI/LID systems; and social implications of GI/LID systems. The sustainability in wastewater treatment reviewed wastewater treatment; source separation; anaerobic technologies; wetland and low impact treatment systems; algae technologies; and the microbial fuel cell technology.
