Water and Wastewater Engineering Technology

Water and Wastewater Engineering Technology presents the basic concepts and applications of water and wastewater engineering and technology. It is primarily designed for students pursuing programs in civil, water resources, and environmental engineering, and presents the fundamentals of water technology, hydraulics, chemistry, and biology. The book examines the urban water cycle in two main categories, water treatment and distribution, and wastewater collection and treatment. The material lays the foundation for typical one-semester courses in water engineering and also serves as a valuable resource to professionals operating and managing water and wastewater treatment plants. The chapters in this book are standalone, offering the flexibility to choose combinations of topics to suit the requirements of a given course or professional application. Features: Contains example problems and diagrams throughout to illustrate and clarify important topics Includes numerous practice problems with answers, discussion questions, and multiple-choice questions in each chapter Covers a range of engineering interventions to help conserve water resources and preserve water quality
