Synopses & Reviews
This book is the second volume in a revision of Fair, Geyer, and Okun’s water and wastewater engineering two volume set. It has a greater focus on drinking water supply, rather than wastewater. Consequently, it devotes more depth to discussing water reuse issues, problems related to emerging contaminants, water supply infrastructure, and water-quality standards. The book deals with different types of municipal water systems, such as collection, purification, transmission, and distribution works. It also discusses the ways in which these systems and treatments supplement one another to produce an adequate water supply, pressure, and purification standard that meets the needs of the population.
Synopsis
Details the design and process of water supply systems, tracing the progression from source to sink
- Organized and logical flow, tracing the connections in the water-supply system from the water's source to its eventual use
- Emphasized coverage of water supply infrastructure and the design of water treatment processes
- Inclusion of fundamentals and practical examples so as to connect theory with the realities of design
- Provision of useful reference for practicing engineers who require a more in-depth coverage, higher level students studying drinking water systems as well as students in preparation for the FE/PE examinations
- Inclusion of examples and homework questions in both SI and US units
