Drinking water shortages in many regions of the world have often
contributed to the development of water treatment technologies.
Not only arid and semi-arid regions are increasingly exposed to
water shortage, but also many other regions face limitations of
the fresh water resources.

Geothermal energy is being used for heating and for power
generating purposes in many countries. In some cases, cooled
geothermal waters are discharged into the rivers. The use of
cooled waters for drinking water purposes can be
considered as an alternative method of disposing them.

This book discusses the effective use of geothermal
water and renewable energy for future needs of a modern
sustainable, effective management of water resources.It
determines the potential of a desalination processes to reduce
total dissolved solids (TDS), enhance removal of microelements
(such as arsenic and boron) and also natural radionuclides so
making geothermal waters suitable for discharge into surface
waters or reuse for drinking, irrigation and other purposes. The
key issue of the research is utilising the retentate, which
contains a concentrate of the chemical elements and compounds
removed from the geothermal water.

Te book will be used as an incentive for what and how new and
energy efficient technologies can be applied as an effective
solution in residual geothermal water management to satisfy the
continually increasing water demand for industrial, agricultural
and drinking purposes in an economically sustainable way.
