Water and Wastewater book for the PE (Water Resources Depth)

[Calixico]

Everyone's talking about the M&E Book. Don't get me wrong, it's a good book, but a wasterwater/enviromental engineer loan me another book; Water and Waster Calculations Manual by Shun Dar Lin; I like this book much better, as it has example problems for every topic encountered in water and wasterwater treatment problems. Anyone else used this book or own? Do you like it better than Metcalf and Eddy book, as part of your exam preparation or sittings?

That looks like a good book, but if you have access to M&E, i would take both into the exam. M&E is like the bible of wastewater engineering, and if you run into a qualitative problem on the exam, the book you mentioned in your post might not have the qualitative info you would need for looking up the answer. I'm not sure how many qualitative questions are on the civil exam, but I had at least one qualitative WW question when I took the environmental exam. I'm a wastewater engineer, so I didn't have to look up the answer, but I could totally see someone not in the WW field having to look up the answer.

That's just my :2cents:

I honestly did not use the M&E book as much as I thought I would have. That's not too say it's not important to bring to the exam; hell, I took in every damn book I could get my hands on
