""Recommended - The sustainable management of water in cities and towns is of utmost importance, particularly as large amounts of potable water can be lost due to leaks in the pipe distribution system. Urban Water Sustainability provides a much-needed framework for discussion of the role of technology in urban water sustainability. A very relevant book on the limits of technology to solve our urban water problems."" - E. Gomezdelcampo, Bowling Green State University - in CHOICE (Nov 2018) ""This book presents a broad overview of the water technologies and systems currently in use in the provision of sustainable water infrastructure for cities. [It] is an admirable endeavour in presenting current technical systems through the lenses of social and ecological theories. It highlights, in the context of urban water services provision, the importance of the continued efforts in city-building with sustainable infrastructure, and the implications and consequences of the choices and alternatives in their social, ecological and technological contexts."" - Tommy Kevin Lee in International Journal of Water Resources Development (Aug 2018)
