This text is aimed at civil and environmental engineers for the course usually taught as a one- or two-semester course at the junior/senior level.    The third edition covers information on new water treatment processes and small treatment facilities.
This book will appeal not only to civil and environmental engineering students but also to professional and practicing engineers who can use the text as a reference.

Substantially updates the first edition.  Presents the principles of physical and chemical wastewater treatment and illustrates their application. Twenty-two chapters discuss background (classification, fundamentals, and stoichiometry and kinetics of
biochemical operations); theory and applications of modelling ideal suspended growth reactors and ideal attached growth reactors; and future challenges.

For children: From Booklist, 1995
Coombs takes a thorough look at water purification, using humor to do it.
After examining the limited supply and importance of fresh water, she highlights sanitation practices through the centuries -- from chamber pots to outhouses, from typhoid outbreaks to the burning Cuyahoga River.
