The book provides an overview of the engineering approaches towards ensuring
water quality, with an emphasis on fundamental principles. It presents water
quality objectives and the chemical, physical, and biological processes
necessary for designing and managing drinking water and waste water treatment
plants. Theory and conceptual designs of systems for treating municipal waste
water and drinking water are discussed. The basic principles of common treatment
processes are also discussed.
