Kurzbeschreibung

First published in 1958, Salvato's Environmental Engineering has long been the definitive text/reference for generations of sanitation and environmental engineers. Having developed through each edition with the growth of the profession, the current book covers topics as disparate as landfills, water treatment, recreational facilities, and food handling in restaurants. Approaching its 50th year of continual publication in a rapidly changing field, the Sixth Edition has been fully reworked and reorganized into three separate, succinct volumes to adapt to a more complex and scientifically demanding field with dozens of specializations. Completely rewritten by leading experts in the field, this new edition offers succinct new case studies, new process and plant design examples, and added coverage of such subjects as urban and rural systems. Volume 1 covers water and wastewater treatment, water supply, soil and groundwater remediation and protection, and industrial waste management.

First published in 1958, Salvato's Environmental Engineering has long been the definitive reference for generations of sanitation and environmental engineers. Approaching its fiftieth year of continual publication in a rapidly changing field, the Sixth Edition has been fully reworked and reorganized into three separate, succinct volumes to adapt to a more complex and scientifically demanding field with dozens of specializations.

Updated and reviewed by leading experts in the field, this revised edition offers new process and plant design examples and added coverage of such subjects as urban and rural systems. Stressing the practicality and appropriateness of treatment, the Sixth Edition provides realistic solutions for the practicing public health official, water treatment engineer, plant operator, and others in the domestic and industrial waste treatment professions.
