Used at all major educational and research institutions. Belongs on every Water Treatment Engineer's desk. Extensive coverage on all areas, but does not cover wastewater. This field distinguishes between wastewater treatment, which is the treatment of water that has been used residentially, commercially and industrially so that it can be properly reintroduced to the water cycle, and water treatment, which is the process of treating water before it is considered potable for consumption. For wastewater, see the classic Metcalf and Eddy text.

A tad dry by S. Lamble (Missouri USA)

This book is very informative, though a tad dry to read thru, really have to be awake to make it through a chapter. But I do believe the examples and problems are well written, along with the fact that all the information is available.
