Product Description
The sixth edition of Water Supply and Pollution Control continues to offer a state-of-the-art look at modern water management. Warren Viessman, Jr. and Mark J. Hammer emphasize the application of scientific methods to problems associated with the development, movement, and treatment of water and wastewater. Recognizing that all waters are potential sources of supply, the book's tradition of presenting treatment processes in the context of what they can do, rather than in the context of water or wastewater treatment, is becoming more appropriate as the concept of total water management gains greater acceptance. Improvements to the sixth edition include: New material on water resources development, population forecasting, urban storm drainage, distribution system design, and the use of EPANET Substantially revised coverage of water supply and use, water distribution, thehydraulics and hydrology of sewer and storm drainage systems, biological treatment processes, sludge processing, and advanced wastewater treatment to reflect the latest technologies, engineering practices, and regulations New examples and problems based on actual engineering designs and operations Emphasis on computer-oriented solutions where appropriate Throughout the book, the presentation has been clarified where necessary to make this an invaluable text and reference for the civil and environmental engineering student and professional. |

Good, could be better by I. Klein (Kfar Saba, Israel) 4 Stars
March 01, 2002
As teacher of an Environmental Engineering course (at Ariel Academic College, Israel) and as consulting engineer, I find the book useful, but... Some areas are weak: Population and demand prognosis, Resource planning, Economic evaluation and optimization, Advanced water treatment (membrane and ion exchange technologies, for example), Desalination of brackish and sea water. Each chapter has a well explained exercise, a very useful feature, but most are non metric. All in all, I know of no better textbook, and it is worth its money.

water and waste 4 Stars
February 10, 2000
The book is very easy reading and understandable, but it does not have answers to the work problems which is most important. It has a good balance of theory and applications.
