For a long time, wastewater needed only to be carried away from the human settlement intoa nearby river, lake, sea, or groundwater. However, with increasing population and industrialactivity, the volume and composition of the wastewater needed some mechanical, biological,or chemical treatment before discharge. In this chapter, wastewater treatment is placed intothe context of sustainable development, with its main aspects of environmental, economic,and social concerns, both for future and current generations. The wide spectra of indicatorsand assessment methods that are used to assess the sustainability of the wastewater treatmentmethods are presented. The theme throughout the chapter is a systems view that shows us that sustainability cannot be assessed only at the scale of the wastewater treatment facility.The fence or walls of the treatment plant are a too narrow scope for a proper sustainabilityassessment as we will see.

The assessment and prediction of urban surface water runoff has become a core issue for urban stormwater management across the world and has generated an ever-increasing interest in modelling tools for risk assessment and BMP mitigation measures. Whilst hydraulic modelling approaches for stormwater flows and sewered conveyance are now well developed and tested, the modeling basis for non-point urban water quality is still somewhat rudimentary. This chapter focuses on statistical and numerical approaches that have been developed to quantify pollutant concentrations and loadings associated with stormwater runoff and to evaluate the performance effectiveness of BMP controls for sustainable water management in highly urbanised areas. There has been a widespread application of simple, first-order screening techniques primarily based on regression and probabilistic analysis. These are now being supplemented by generic GIS and process-based modeling techniques frequently employing coupled 1D-2D dual-drainage methodologies. In general it is alleged that the simpler meta-modeling approaches if appropriately calibrated and verified, can match the predictive outcomes from the more deterministic process-based methods. A brief review is also provided of some commercially available software packages intended to support decision-making for sustainable stormwater management.

Remote sensing data and information are shown great potential in supplying relevant spatial data and parameters at the appropriate scale for use in distributed hydrological models for water resource applications. In contrast with many conventional data normally represented by point measurements, remote sensing based measurements are spatially averages over the pixels can appropriate for distributed hydrological model. Furthermore, remote sensing enables data access from remote areas, where data are typically sparse. Remote sensing technology used electromagnetic spectrum in the range of wavelengths of different radiations reflected or emitted by objects. Although remote sensing spectrum varies from 0.03 nm to 100 cm, visible, infrared and microwave spectrum is commonly used in retrieval of hydrological parameters.
