This volume addresses the growing pressure on Latin American and Caribbean water resources in terms of increasing demand and costs for agricultural, domestic and industrial consumption. It provides water resource managers and planners with information on the range of technologies that have been developed and used in the various countries throughout the world to maximize and augment the use of existing or unexploited sources of freshwater. It is divided into five sections: introductory material, technology profiles (freshwater augmentation and water quality improvement technologies, wastewater treatment technologies and reuse, and water conservation), case studies, annexes, and institutional profiles.
