Synopsis

This book introduces water quality engineering as both an art and a science. The author explains that the increasing need for water-pollution control has stimulated research in new and improved methods of wastewater treatment and a better understanding of the short and long term effects of wastewaters on the aquatic environment. To fill the expanding needs for trained personnel in water quality, increasing numbers of scientists and engineers from many disciplines are being drawn into the field. This volume presents a concise summary of the present principles and theories on water-pollution control, to indicate processes and treatments applicable to specific sewage and industrial wastewater problems, and to develop design procedures for the wastewatert-treatment processes in most common use today. Engineers from other disciplines will find this an accessible text for engaging in the water-quality field, offering engineering guidelines for the solution of particular problems. For in-depth study of specific areas, the reader is referred to the cited books and references.
