Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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, the hydraulics 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.
