“This book provides a good initiation to the student into the S&T in sustainable development. By bringing together such a large number of problems within a single area, e.g. that of water, it seems clear that synergy is possible. The nature of the problems tackled and content in the papers are also varied, ranging from providing a canvas of kaleidoscopic solutions, to problem description, multiple approaches to resource management, etc. Postgraduate students in technical varsities attempting to carry out research projects in sustainable technologies or sustainable development will greatly benefit from reading this book as it provides a wide repertoire from where they can seek simulation. A good thing is that the internal debate has shifted to location-specific problems and potential solutions. This book then has the potential to spark greater local debates and the quest for local and sustainable solutions.”<\/i><\/p>\n
