Summary

A concise summary of the present principles and theories on water pollution control, processes and treatments applicable to specific sewage and industrial wastewater problems, to define significant parameters in water quality engineering, and to develop design procedures for the wastewater treatment processes in most common use today. Useful as an introductory text for engineers from other disciplines engaged in the water quality field as well as providing engineering guidelines for the solution of particular problems.
