Basic Environmental Technology: Water Supply, Waste Management, and Pollution Control:Second Edition

This edition was written to fill a need for a practical, clearly written introductory textbook for civil/construction or environmental engineering technology courses. The emphasis is on fundamental concepts and basic applications with logical and systematic treatment of topics which have been modified or supplemented to reflect new technical and regulatory changes in the field. Separate and expanded chapters have been included for solid waste, hazardous waste, air and noise pollution. There is also a new expanded glossary and a list of public domain software.
