Water Supply and Pollution Control

This book provides practicing engineers with water-based environment engineering from theory to practice by presenting the principles of water treatment, wastewater treatment, water reuse, water quality, and overviews of regulations regarding pollution control and drinking water quality. The seventh edition provides new and revised coverage of water quality standards, water and wastewater treatment process design, water distribution system analysis and design, water quality, storm water management, urban hydrology, security of potable water supplies, the use of membranes in water treatment, the applications of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to water supply, and more. For practicing engineers who need a good reference book and for those preparing to take the examination for licensing as a professional engineer.
