Water and Wastewater Engineering, Multi-Volume

The classic guide to water and wastewater engineering returnsWater and wastewater engineering is a crucial branch of civil engineering, dealing with water resources and with the challenges posed by water and wastewater. Generations of engineers have developed techniques for purifying, desalinating, and transforming water and wastewater, techniques which have only grown more critical as climate change and global population growth create new challenges and opportunities. There has never been a more urgent need for a comprehensive guide to the management of water and its various engineering subdisciplines.Volume 1 of Water and Wastewater Engineering: Hydraulics, Hydrology, and Management, 4th edition has been fully updated to reflect the latest research and case studies. This vital text addresses growing urbanization and industrialization, with corresponding stress on water and wastewater systems. This first volume deals primarily with hydrology and hydraulics, along with chapters treating groundwater and surface water sources.Readers will also find: Coverage of water supply, water sources, water distribution, and more Detailed treatment of both sanitary sewer and urban stormwater drainage In-depth analysis of infrastructure issues with respect to water resources, pumping, and handling Water and Wastewater Engineering is ideal for advanced students in civil, environmental, and chemical engineering departments, as well as for early career engineers, plant managers, and urban and regional planners.
