Product Detail

No time period during the 90 years since the first edition of Wastewater Engineering can equal the last decade in terms of technological development in the wastewater treatment field. Driving these recent changes are environmental and health issues. The industry achieves levels of performance far beyond those envisioned only a decade ago. New discoveries are challenging conventional theories. The new fourth edition of Wastewater Engineering provides you with the most current information on these momentous changes, as well as all aspects of modern wastewater treatment engineering and reuse.
