This book presents the basic principles for evaluating water
quality and treatment plant performance in a clear, innovative and
didactic way, using a combined approach that involves the
interpretation of monitoring data associated with (i) the basic
processes that take place in water bodies and in water and
wastewater treatment plants and (ii) data management and
statistical calculations to allow a deep interpretation of the
data. This book is problem-oriented and works from practice to
theory, covering most of the information you will need, such as (a)
obtaining flow data and working with the concept of loading, (b)
organizing sampling programmes and measurements, (c) connecting
laboratory analysis to data management, (e) using numerical and
graphical methods for describing monitoring data (descriptive
statistics), (f) understanding and reporting removal efficiencies,
(g) recognizing symmetry and asymmetry in monitoring data (normal
and log-normal distributions), (h) evaluating compliance with
targets and regulatory standards for effluents and water bodies,
(i) making comparisons with the monitoring data (tests of
hypothesis), (j) understanding the relationship between monitoring
variables (correlation and regression analysis), (k) making water
and mass balances, (l) understanding the different loading rates
applied to treatment units, (m) learning the principles of reaction
kinetics and reactor hydraulics and (n) performing calibration and
verification of models. The major concepts are illustrated by 92
fully worked-out examples, which are supported by 75
freely-downloadable Excel spreadsheets. Each chapter concludes with
a checklist for your report. If you are a student, researcher or
practitioner planning to use or already using treatment plant and
water quality monitoring data, then this book is for you!
Engineered ponds, lagoons, and wetlands have been used for
centuries to treat and manage wastewater, and they are still widely
used today. They require very few external energy and material
inputs and provide ecosystem services for communities. This book
presents a compilation of guidelines to design ponds, lagoons, and
wetlands for the treatment and management of domestic or municipal
wastewater, agricultural wastewater, and industrial waste.
Sufficient detail and clarity is provided for practitioners to use
this book as a reference, and for senior year or graduate college
students to develop an understanding of the design concepts for
these engineered natural treatment systems.
