This review on Sustainability covers selected journal articles and conferences papers published in 2011 and is divided into the following sections1: • 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, climate change, and water reuse • Sustainability rating system. The stormwater and green infrastructure (GI) described the current development in four categories: (1) new studies of GI and low impact development (LID) system performance; (2) GI/LID planning assessments; (3) macro-scale hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of GI/LID systems; and (4) social implications of GI/LID systems. The sustainability in wastewater treatment reviewed wastewater as a resource, wastewater treatment, and wastewater treatment plant carbon and energy footprint. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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 systems. The 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. • Sustainable water resources management. • Industrial and corporate approaches towards sustainability. • Stormwater and green infrastructure.

This review on Sustainability covers journal articles and conferences papers published in 2009 and is divided into the following sections: • Sustainable water and wastewater utilities • Sustainable watersheds and water resources management • Industrial and corporate approaches towards sustainability • Stormwater and green infrastructure • Sustainable wastewater technologies • Sustainability assessment and life cycle analysis • Sustainability and energy in wastewater industry • Sustainability and climate change • Sustainability and water reuse • Application of LEED®. The sustainable water and wastewater utilities reviewed sustainable practices, sustainable workforce management, and sustainable financing. The stormwater and green Infrastructure (GI) described the current development in four general categories: new studies of GI and low impact design (LID) system performance; GI/LID system planning and design; modeling of GI/LID systems; and social implications of GI/LID systems. The sustainable wastewater technologies reviewed wastewater treatment, anaerobic technologies, low impact and natural treatment systems, residuals and emissions management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This review section covers journal articles and conferences papers on sustainability that were published from 2006 to 2008. The literature review has been divided into the following sections1: • Sustainable water and wastewater utilities • Sustainable watersheds and water resources management • Industrial and corporate approaches towards sustainability • Stormwater and green infrastructure • Sustainable wastewater technologies • Life cycle analysis (LCA) • Sustainability and energy in wastewater industry • Sustainability and climate change • Sustainability and water reuse • Application of LEED® in wastewater. The sustainable water and wastewater utilities reviewed sustainable practices and sustainable workforce management including workforce development, knowledge retention and information sharing, succession planning, and financing. The stormwater and green Infrastructure considered a variety of low impact development (LID) design and technologies and green infrastructures. The wastewater technologies reviewed wastewater treatment, anaerobic technologies, low impact and natural treatment systems, and residuals and emissions management. The sustainability and energy in wastewater industry discussed energy conservation, production and recovery. The sustainability and climate change reviewed greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from water and wastewater industries, the impacts of climate change and reducing carbon footprint. The sustainability and water reuse considered water reclamation and reuse in municipal, industrial, and agricultural settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a comprehensive review of research advancing in 2011 on nonpoint source pollution (NPS). Progresses on modeling and estimation of NPS pollution, impacts of climate and land tenure changes on pollutants loads, and NPS pollution management are reviewed. In addition, major nonpoint pollutants are also summarized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
