A primary responsibility of a water quality engineer is to supply potable and palatable drinking water to a community. Water Treatment covers the gamut of operations that are required to convert a raw water source-whether surface water or groundwater-to a quality that conforms to all federal, state, and local environmental standards for drinking water. This book includes basic chemistry principles that are indispensable to a fundamental understanding of water treatment operations. The goal is to enable the reader to quickly find all the information-without any need for multiple sources-required to clearly understand concepts that are integral to water treatment. Numerous solved examples throughout the book facilitate a step-by-step approach to any water treatment process.
