Water and Wastewater Engineering, Multi-Volume (4^th Ed.)

The classic guide to water and wastewater engineering returns

Water 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.

Lawrence K. Wang has worked for decades in industrial, academic, and policy roles related to water treatment and water supply, including as a Senior Advisor to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and as a Delegate of the People to People International Foundation. He is a licensed Professional Engineer, a certified Laboratory Director, an OSHA Hazardous Waste Management Instructor, a vastly prolific author, and the holder of 29 patents.

Mu-Hao Sung Wang is a Licensed Professional Engineer and a Diplomate of the American Academy of Water Engineers (AAEE). She has published widely on water quality, waste management, environmental sustainability, and related subjects, and holds 14 patents.

Nazih K. Shammas worked for over 45 years as an environmental consultant and academic. He served as Dean and Director of the Lenox Institute of Water Technology and as an advisor to Krofta Engineering Corporation, USA. He published widely on environmental engineering subjects, with particular expertise in water quality control, wastewater reclamation, pollution prevention, and waste management.
