Book Description:

This textbook covers the environmental and engineering aspects involved in the drainage of rainwater and wastewater from areas of human development. It provides a descriptive overview of the complex issues involved, basic engineering principles, and analysis for each topic. Extensive examples are used to support and demonstrate the key issues explained in the text. The book also deals comprehensively with the design of new systems, the analysis and upgrading of existing infrastructure, and the environmental issues involved.

Synopsis:

This textbook considers the design, construction and management of sewer systems, as well as their environmental impact. It is structured to provide an overview, engineering principles and analysis for each topic. It aims to reflect the resurgence of interest in the subjectas sewer systems designed over a century ago are simply unable to cope with the demands placed on them. The 1990s have seen attention turn to the issue of environmental pollution. The book deals with both the design of new systems, and the upgrading of existing ones.
