Hands-On Maintenance for Water/Wastewater Equipment deals with equipment maintenance as individual components, not as complete machines. This allows more information about the design, application and maintenance requirements of machinery to be presented. The text covers basic operating characteristics of machinery components, making it a valuable reference source as well as a training and maintenance manual. Written in easy-to-understand language, without complex formulas or technical theories, this text provides you with basic information to help you acquire a general understanding of how components function and how to keep equipment operating properly.

This study proposes a simple method for assessing the potential available monthly and annual recharge in a small crystalline basement aquifer catchment, taking into consideration the rainfall and the physical characteristics of the catchment. By studying the geology, land use and rainfall, and applying different techniques for estimating recharge, it has been deduced that occurrence of groundwater recharge, and hence the potential for recharge, is controlled by the rainfall regime and evaporative fluxes, whilst the geology and vegetation characteristics of a catchment influence the mechanism and magnitude of actual recharge.
