Develop a better understanding of what causes environmental problems and how to solve them! Today, engineers and scientists must work on more complex environmental problems than ever before. To find solutions to these problems requires an in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals of chemistry, biology, and physical processes. This text will provide you with a clear explanation of these fundamentals that are necessary for solving both small town and global environmental problems. With Fundamentals of Environmental Engineering, you'll develop a better understanding of the key concepts required for design, operation, analysis, and modeling of both natural and engineered systems. You'll also be able to make connections among the different specialty areas of environmental engineering emphasized throughout the text. And you'll quickly learn how to solve complex environmental problems and incorporate environmental concerns into your specialty. Key Features
* Covers the fundamentals of chemical, physical, and biological processes, and various units of concentration as applied to environmental engineering.
* Includes applications related to drinking water and wastewater treatment, air quality engineering and science, groundwater transport and remediation, surface water quality, hazardous solid waste management, and ecosystems.
* Developed by a team of authors who specialize in a diverse set of environmental areas.
Important Comment: Great book for those just starting to learn about the field!
This book teaches the fundamentals of Environmental Engineering in a way that everybody can understand. It's well written and well layed out. Great examples help to clarify and expand on points made in the text. The figures and tables also improve on the students learning ability as they progress through the book. All in all an excellent book for the beginning Environmental Engineer as well as a handy companion for the Engineer already out in the field. Dr. Mihelcic is an excellent author along with all the other professors who helped out.
