Product Description
Product Description
For sophomore/junior-level civil technology or civil engineering courses in Sanitary or Environmental Engineering/Technology, Water Supply and Sanitation, and Water Quality Control. Also appropriate for two-year college courses in Engineering Technology and Environmental Studies.
A proven text in the field of water and wastewater engineering and technology, this primer provides the fundamental principles and management practices in water processing, water distribution, wastewater collection, wastewater treatment, sludge processing, and water reuse. All major systems and operations are covered concisely yet comprehensively. Introductory chapters provide a review of pertinent aspects of chemistry, biology, hydraulics and hydrology, and water quality.
From the Back Cover
Comprehensive coverage of the fundamental principles and current management practices in water processing, water distribution, wastewater collection, wastewater treatment, and sludge processing is preserved in this text. Necessary background information is provided to readers interested in continued study of sanitary technology and in operation and maintenance of water and wastewater facilities. Mathematical analysis is minimized to accommodate a broad range of reader backgrounds.
Key features:- The text provides review of the disciplines that have specific application in water supply and wastewater management, including chemistry, biology, hydraulics, and hydrology.
- The most extensive revisions are in the topics of water quality, advanced wastewater, treatment, and water reuse.
- The text was edited for greater clarity and the addition of new problems, except for Chapters 6-10.
- The subject matter has been integrated so readers can see the interrelationships between individual unit operations and integration of systems as a whole.

Format:Hardcover
This book was used at Portland Community College for an Environmental Engineering sequence (2 Quaters).
Even though this book has introductory concepts of Chemistry, Biology, College Algebra and Fluid Mechanics I would highly recommend a term of "Freshman" 100 Level Chemistry, Biology and related topics in Physics.
The authors intend that the instructor (coursework) will follow the chapters in numerical order. If you have an instructor that skips around a lot it makes this book very unfriendly. It also helps greatly if the instructor provides field trips and lab work directly related to the chapter topics.
The authors covers the chapter topics very completely, however it is a very Dry Read. The example problems often leave out unit conversions. The publisher does not provide a student solutions manual, therefore making it very difficult to find errors made on chapter problems. Many of the images and pictures could be a lot better.
The authors do not present the under laying theory well because they expect the reader to be moderately versed in the math and science aspects.
The authors do a good job explaining the physical processes of water and wastewater treatment.
I feel that I gained a lot of knowledge from this book and there are not any other choices that provide the overview of processes and theory all in one book.
This is NOT a book you want to buy new. Buy It Used. If you are studying this topic for yourself buy an Older Edition.
