This review on Sustainability covers selected journal articles and conferences papers published in 2012 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, climate change, and water reuse • Sustainability rating systems The Stormwater and Green Infrastructure (GI) describe the current development in four areas: (1) performance monitoring of GI/LID (low impact development) systems; (2) modeling GI/LID systems; (3) assessment and planning tools for GI/LID systems; and (4) social impacts of GI/LID systems.

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.
