Description: First edition. | Boca Raton : CRC Press, 2022. | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Summary: Presenting an in-depth coverage, this textbook brings together and integrates key topics including water resources, wastewater, air, and solid waste in a single volume. The textbook introduces a unique approach that emphases on the water and wastewater treatments with its distribution system and engineering. It begins by discussing the public health and sanitation, then covers the wastewater collection system and design, wastewater characteristics, natural purification water, different wastewater treatments, industrial and rural wastewater. Finally, the emerging technologies in the reuse/recycle of waste and processes to conserve the environmental resources are discussed. The text will be useful for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of civil and environmental engineering. Pedagogical features including solved problems, exercises and multiple-choice questions are interspersed throughout the book for better understanding Provided by publisher.

One of the major realizations of the 20th century is that natural resources do not last forever. Since the concept of sustainable development came into existence, the public and its leaders have been unable to ignore the catastrophic effects of depleting natural resources, festering waste dumps and subsequent pollution on the planet. This has led to the development of an interdisciplinary academic practice of environmental engineering.

Environmental Engineeringcovers a range of topics where engineering can be applied to conserve natural resources and preserve or restore environmental quality.
