Great Reference

This is the International version. It is great and has both SI and English units. I have not compared it to the hard cover, but this one is great - well worth the money (and savings).

Standard Engineering Reference for Wastewater Engineering

My need was to get up to speed rapidly on ultra violet disinfection. While I was waiting for the book to arrive, I spent several hours on the internet. When the book came in, it tied together all the "bits" I picked up thru my search and provided more detail on some of the critical aspects. SparkyTom

The bible and encyclopaedia of wastewater engineering

I first got exposed to the textbook as an undergraduate student in civil engineering. Served as an excellent in depth textbook for that level. During my masters program it was a good starting point. As a consulting engineer, I can find most of the basic and fundamental answers. The language is lucid and simple. I have read lots of books on wastewater engineering. Agreed that there are more detailed texts available on specific areas of wastewater treatment, but this textbook does a very good job of striking that balance just right of covering material in enough detail for students and the practising engineer. It is usually enough unless you are writing a masters thesis or a doctoral dissertation. This text, together with the companion textbook, Collection and Pumping of Wastewater has served me very well during my college and professional career. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a good book on wastewater treatment. I very respectfully disagree with the gentleman from Istanbul above who feels that this book is poor. When taking my PE exam, if I was to be limited to just one textbook on wastewater, I would take this one.

A definite must for the ENVIRONMENTAL PE EXAM.

This book was of great necessity on the PE exam and I wouldn't have been able to do much without it. A definite must for your bookshelf.

This is the Bible of Wastewater Engineering

The most informative book and up-to-date text on Wastewater Engineering. This is the one you want in your suitcase as you travel the world consulting.
