Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainability of wastewater treatment technologies
Helen E. Muga,James R. Mihelcic +1 more
TL;DR: There are varying degrees of sustainability with each treatment technology, and selection of a set of indicators is dependent on the geographic and demographic context of a particular community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainability Science and Engineering: The Emergence of a New Metadiscipline
James R. Mihelcic,John C. Crittenden,Mitchell J. Small,David R. Shonnard,David R. Hokanson,Quiong Zhang,Hui Chen,Sheryl A. Sorby,Valentine U. James,John W. Sutherland,Jerald L. Schnoor +10 more
TL;DR: It is clear that a focus on green engineering that employs pollution prevention and industrial ecology alone are not sufficient to achieve sustainability, because even systems with efficient material and energy use can overwhelm the carrying capacity of a region or lead to other socially unacceptable outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new planning and design paradigm to achieve sustainable resource recovery from wastewater
Jeremy S. Guest,Steven J. Skerlos,James L. Barnard,M. Bruce Beck,Glen T. Daigger,Helene Hilger,Steven J. Jackson,Karen Karvazy,Linda Kelly,Linda Macpherson,James R. Mihelcic,Amit Pramanik,Lutgarde Raskin,Mark C.M. van Loosdrecht,Daniel H. Yeh,Nancy G. Love +15 more
