4. HOW TO USE THE SOURCE BOOK
This Source Book is a quick reference for water resources managers and
planners. Because these users work in specific sectors, the manual is
structured by sector. To best use this Book, the sector of interest must
be identified, and the relevant field of application selected. For the
purposes of this Book, there are three primary (economic) sectors:
agriculture, mining and industry, and domestic supply. Within each of
these sectors are four applications: water harvesting, upgrading of water
quality, wastewater treatment and reuse, and water conservation. A summary
spreadsheet is provided for quick reference.
The descriptions of the technologies are not meant to be exhaustive,
but, rather, are intended to give an overview of what the technology is
all about. Detailed information on each technology can be obtained by
referring to the references and sources of information provided at the end
of each description.
