This volume is the only resource that describes and explains in simple, non-mathematical terms the unit processes used to treat both drinking water and wastewater. Designed to meet the information needs of professionals without an engineering background, the text presents each unit process, states what function(s) it performs, illustrates what equipment it uses, and explains what its role is in the process of purifying or cleaning water. In addition, the book places water treatment technologies in the context of overall plant operation. In addition, it explains related topics such as plant management and environmental regulations.

Review
It is a very well-structured book and, when reading it, it becomes clear that it is indeed for the non-engineering professional as mentioned in the title and in the introduction of the book... Technically speaking, the contents of the book are very good and allow the reader to understand all the processes present in different types and steps of water and wastewater treatment. This is also supported by the very good and straightforward way of explaining things and, as already mentioned, the very good structure of the book... In conclusion, this book is a very good introduction and reference book to water and wastewater treatment, especially for the non-engineering professional.

Good introductory material,

This review is from: Water and Wastewater Treatment: A Guide for the Nonengineering Professionals (Hardcover)
I found this text useful as a mnemonic, a memory tool. There are useful explanations of conventional tools for treating wastewater and water. You won't find many useful graphics but it is a book for the non-professionals. Personally, I find such textbooks useful because of the varied business of the design engineer. One year you're working steel mills next year chemical plants, a few years later refineries.
I know this review is brief but I hope it was useful. I recommend this book for what it is: a how-does-it-work text.

This review is from: Water and Wastewater Treatment: A Guide for the Nonengineering Professionals (Hardcover)
Very good book. I am not an engineer, but work in water treatment business. This book gave me a propper understanding of the water treatment process. Now when our engineers talk about water treatment I understand everything. It is a first book that everyone should read before they try more difficult and professional literature.
