DESCRIPTION:
This bestselling text has been revised and modernized to meet the needs of today's environmental engineering students who will be engaged in the design and management of water and wastewater systems. Recognizing that all waters are potential sources of supply, the authors present treatment processes in the context of what they can do, rather than dividing them along clean water or waste water lines. An abundance of examples and homework problems amplify the concepts presented.. It emphasizes the application of the scientific method to problems associated with the development, movement, and treatment of water and wastewater. For upper-division undergraduate or beginning graduate courses in civil and environmental engineering
Hammer also served as the Director of the Environmental Protection Agency Grant in Water Quality Control. During his long tenure as a professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Dr. He is an Honorary Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a registered professional engineer. Viessman is senior author of
"Good, could be better" according to I. Klein. 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.. A Customer said water and waste. 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.. Christina A. Sorrels said Used as reference for Civil PE exam. Good reference with chapters covering many topics on Civil PE exam including hydraulics, water and wastewater treatment, water quality, water distribution, pumps, water use and more. I passed, so passing the book onto someone else since I do not use most of the material in the book in my day to day work. I recommend.
and Mark J. Hammer emphasize the application of scientific methods to problems associated with the development, movement, and treatment of water and wastewater. This water distribution network model offers students an opportunity to address problems of all scale and to become acquainted with state-of-the-art software used by practitioners.New topics such as security of potable water supplies, the use of membranes in water treatment, and the application of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to water supply and wastewater management problems have been introduced.More practical examples and many new problems have been added.. Treatment processes are presented in the context of what they can do, rather than compartmentalizing them along clean water or wastewater lines.
