Features: This book is the third volume in the series "Clean Production and Circular Economy." It introduces the basic theories of circular economy for water resources, including water resource carrying capacity, water resource value and accounting, ecological environmental water demand, optimal allocation of water resources, and the use of non-conventional water resources. It also presents new technologies in water conservation, water pollution prevention, and the use of non-conventional water resources. Guided by the principles of circular economy—reduction, reuse, and recycling—and the concept of harmlessness, the book discusses the model of circular economy for water resources, analyzing and explaining it with typical examples. It also covers relevant aspects of water resource circular economy management. Based on the concept of circular economy, this book systematically elaborates on the theories, methods, technologies, and models of developing circular economy for water resources. It is suitable for scholars and relevant institutions engaged in the research of water resource circular economy, as well as for decision-makers in government agencies, environmental management personnel in environmental protection departments, researchers in research institutions, and faculty and students at universities and colleges.
