Foreword

The authors of this edited book are renowned researchers in the field of water research, photocatalytic degradation, and solar cells. With their research experience, they have edited this book by referring to and analyzing a wide range of literature. This edited book not only covers a critical review of some water research problems but also contains some original research work regarding catalytic degradation. In short, this book reveals the causes of water pollution and its impact on animal life. Moreover, it also discusses various water purification methods developed so far. This edited book further focuses on fluoride contamination in drinking water, its effect on human life, and fluoride removal by using activated alumina modified with different materials. The authors of this book have included original research like that on the degradation of substituted benzoic acid by nanoparticles and analysis of seasonal and spatial variations of water quality of Dulhara and Vedponds in Ratnapur, Chhattisgarh, India. Few chapters of this book cover wastewater treatment using modern methods, the impact of water mismanagement on the environment, and suggestions on the preventive measures for proper water utilization. The authors have made all possible efforts to enhance the usefulness of the book for the research community.
