This review is from: Water and Wastewater Technology (6th Edition) (Hardcover)

We used this text in a university class for the purposes of studying fundamental water and wastewater treatment processes. Bottom line is there are a number of errors in this edition. Now, errors are not necessarily a bad thing, if you can determine you are indeed seeing an error. This sort of thing happens in text books all the time as well all know. Just realize that if you buy this book you'll have to deal with the errors and from what I saw, unless you are very knowledgeable about the subject or are being led by someone who is, this edition of this book will lead you into some errors you'll never know are there. Maybe the 7th edition has been corrected, let's hope so anyway.

Brand new book in great condition, so no complaints there. But if you are looking for a good book to learn about wastewater technology, i think there are much better ones out there than this one.
