Water/ Waste water book

[jaglacs]

Can anyone recommend a water or wastewater reference book?

What is the purpose for the book?

Even though there are elements of design that are similar for water treatment and wastewater treatment, there are some distint differences! I just wanted an idea of what you were seeking before making recommendations.

I always recommend Metcalf & Eddy as a first textbook. There are some others that ASCE/WEF put out that get into more detailed design info, but for the basic nuts and bolts of the physical, chemical, and biological processes M&E is the best.

In addition to M+E, I was happy to have Water Quality by Tchobanoglous and Schroeder. (Tchobanaglous is the main author of the M&E book.) It covers both water and wastewater treatment, a number of other topics, and it covers a lot of basic theory.

Hi All,

Are you's reffering to M & E's Wastewater Engineering: Disposal and Reuse?

I agree, Metcalf and Eddy are pretty much a must...if you can supplement with some other refs, then all the better. However, having Metcalf and Eddy will serve you well.
