Synthesis and Design for Water Systems


Description:
There is an increasing emphasis on the availability of adequate water supplies in the future. This session is focused on novel methods for synthesis and design of water systems that can address this growing problem through optimization, recycle, reuse, etc. Both theoretical and applied research contributions are welcome.
