Water/wastewater engineering and provides illustrative examples of the subject covered. To the extent possible, examples rely on practical field data and regulatory requirements have been integrated into the environmental design process. Each of the calculations provided herein is solved step-by-step in a streamlined manner that is intended to facilitate understanding. Examples (step-by-step solutions) range from calculations commonly used by operators to more complicated calculations required for research or design. For calculations provided herein using the US customary units, readers who use the International System may apply the conversion factors listed in Appendix E. Answers are also generally given in SI units for most of problems solved by the US customary units. This book has been written for use by the following readers: students taking coursework relating to “Public Water Supply,” “Waste-Water Engineering,” or “Stream Sanitation”; practicing environmental (sanitary) engineers; regulatory officers responsible for the review and approval of engineering project proposals; operators, engineers, and managers of water and/or wastewater treatment plants; and other professionals, such as chemists and biologists, who need some knowledge of water/wastewater issues.

This work will benefit all operators and managers of public water supply and of wastewater treatment plants, environmental design engineers, military environmental engineers, undergraduate and graduate students, regulatory officers, local public works engineers, lake managers, and environmentalists. Advances and improvements in many fields are driven by competition or the need for increased profits. It may be fair to say, however, that advances and improvements in environmental engineering are driven instead by regulation. The US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) sets up maximum contaminant levels, which research and project designs must reach as a goal. The step-by-step solution examples provided in this book are guided by the integration of rules and regulations extensive survey of literature on surface water and groundwater pertaining to environmental engineering and compiled them in this book. Rules and regulations are described as simply as possible, and practical examples are given. The text includes calculations for surface water, groundwater, drink- ing water treatment, and wastewater engineering.
Chapter 1 comprises calculations for river and stream waters. Stream sanitation had been studied for nearly 100 years. By mid-twentieth century, theoretical and empirical models for assessing waste-assimilating capacity of streams were well developed. Dissolved oxygen and biochemical oxygen demand in streams and rivers have been comprehensively illustrated in this book. Apportionment of stream users and pragmatic approaches for stream dissolved oxygen models also first appeared in this manual. From the 1950s through the 1980s, researchers focused extensively on wastewater treatment. In the 1970s, rotating biological contactors became a hot subject. Design criteria and examples for all of these are included in this volume. Some treatment and management technologies are no longer suitable in the United States. However, they are still of some use in developing countries.
Chapter 2 is a compilation of adopted methods and documented research. In the early 1980s, the US EPA published Guidelines for Diagnostic and Feasibility Study of Public Owned Lakes (Clean Lakes Program, or CLP). This was intended to be as a guideline for lake management. CLP and its calculation (evaluation) methods are presented for the first time in this volume. Hydrological, nutrient, and sediment budgets are presented for reservoir and lake waters. Techniques for classification of lake water quality and assessment of the lake trophic state index and lake use support are also presented. Calculations for groundwater are given in
Chapter 3. They include groundwater hydrology, flow in aquifers, pumping and its influence zone, setback zone, and soil remediation. Well setback zone is regulated by the state EPA. Determinations of setback zones are also included in the book. Well function for confined aquifers is presented in Appendix B. Hydraulics for environmental engineering is included in
Chapter 4. This chapter covers fluid (water) properties and definitions, hydrostatics, fundamental concepts of water flow in pipes, weirs, orifices, and in open channels, and flow measurements. Pipe networks for water supply distribution systems and hydraulics for water and wastewater treatment plants are also included. Chapters 5 and 6 cover the unit process for drinking water and waste- water treatment, respectively.
