Water Science and Technology
Crc Press Inc (Verlag)
978-1-4987-5345-6 (ISBN)
This accessible student textbook introduces the reader to the key concepts of water science and technology by explaining the fundamentals of hydrobiology, aquatic ecosystems, water treatment and supply, wastewater treatment and integrated catchment management. This fourth edition is extensively changed throughout, with new coverage of the effects of climate change, environmental assessment, sustainability and the threat to biodiversity.
The text serves as a primer for both undergraduate and graduate students in either science or engineering who have an interested in freshwater biology/hydrobiology or environmental engineering. It is also useful as a unified transitional course for those who want to span the traditional areas of engineering, biology, chemistry, microbiology or business. Professionals and consultants will also find the book a useful reference.
Nick Gray is Director of the Trinity Centre for the Environment at Trinity College Dublin. He has worked primarily in the area of biological wastewater treatment for thirty years, working mainly on full-scale treatment systems, especially the design and operation of reactor processes.
