Description
The Eighth Edition of this bestselling text has been revised and modernized to meet the needs of today's environmental engineering students who will be engaged in the design and management of water and wastewater systems. It emphasizes the application of the scientific method to problems associated with the development, movement, and treatment of water and wastewater. Recognizing that all waters are potential sources of supply, the authors present treatment processes in the context of what they can do, rather than dividing them along clean water or waste water lines. An abundance of examples and homework problems amplify the concepts presented.
Features
The interconnectedness of all potential water sources is illustrated by the text's wide breadth of coverage - Water development, distribution, and use as well as water and wastewater development are all explored.
Prominent coverage of monitoring drinking water for pathogens highlights this topic - an increasing concern as the security of drinking water becomes more critical.
Expanded and updated material on indirect reuse of water for augmenting drinking water supplies gives prominence to this increasingly important component of water resources development.
