'Access to safe water is a fundamental human need and therefore a basic human right' Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary General

With contributions from experts from around the world, this book gives a global perspective on the important issues faced in the provision of safe drinking water, the problems of dealing with aquatic pollution and the processes involved in wastewater management.

Starting with an introductory chapter of basic microbiological principles, The Handbook of Water and Wastewater Microbiology develops these principles further, ensuring that this is the essential text for process engineers with little microbiological experience and specialist microbiologists alike.

Comprehensive selection of reviews dealing with drinking water and aquatic pollution
Provides an understading of basic microbiology and how it is applied to engineering process solutions
Suitable for all levels of knowledge in microbiology -from those with no background to specialists who require the depth of information

This review is from: Handbook of Water and Wastewater Microbiology (Hardcover)
An excellent condensation of the subject for both potable and wastewater. I was able to use information from this book to design equipment to meet the new DBP 2 rule.
