This book covers all the theory and application in an outstanding way without getting too simple or complex. The book is coherent, very well organized, and filled with excellent tables and graphs. Great examples as well. I have nothing negative to say about this text.

Used at all major educational and research institutions. Belongs on every Water Treatment Engineer's desk. Extensive coverage on all areas, but does not cover wastewater. This field distinguishes between wastewater treatment, which is the treatment of water that has been used residentially, commercially and industrially so that it can be properly reintroduced to the water cycle, and water treatment, which is the process of treating water before it is considered potable for consumption. For wastewater, see the classic Metcalf and Eddy text.

I have just begun to use this textbook in a graduate level Physical & Chemical Wastewater treatment course at MT Tech. So far I have found Ch 9 to be very useful in solving many of the problems I have ran into in the past. Following along in the examples is very user friendly and there have been minimal typo mistakes relative to other texts i have used before.
This is definitely an engineer's textbook. I find the layout to be exceptional with regard to spacing, format, and labeling. This is definitely a book I will not return to the Bookstore!

You will often read that this is an excellent source. For creditability - I have a BS in Env. Engineering and am a candidate for a MS in Env. Engineering. If you are a graduate student in environmental/water resources engineering, this is a must have reference. Well written, quite a few example calculations, good information well conveyed with illustrations whenever applicable. This book will give you most information, very detailed on most, if not all water treatment topics. You can tell, I really like this book - mainly because without it, I would have had a much harder time in my unit processes/operations of water treatment course. As for real world application, I imagine it to be just as good. Afterall, it is written by well acknowledged, credited, experienced, and accepted professionals. Cheers.

Will provide you hours of entertainment, whether you are a biologist, environmental scientist, environmental engineer, or mathematician. A must have, along with the Metcalf and Eddy "Wastewater Engineering" tome.

This is a great book... It covers all the basics and explains every concept well.

This is a book which is a help in preparing for the Environmental Engineer PE exam.

This is a great book for graduate level textbook. It's some kind of encyclopedia for everythng you need to know about water treatment, from physical and chemical quality of water to plant design.

This is a great reference book for anyone getting into water treatment or environmental process design.

This book is very informative, though a tad dry to read thru, really have to be awake to make it through a chapter. But I do believe the examples and problems are well written, along with the fact that all the information is available.
