Wastewater Engineering: Treatment and Resource Recovery

This is the best and most comprehensive wastewater treatment text in the field. Prof. Tchobanoglous has done an excellent job of improving this text edition by edition. The subjects are technically accurate and up to date; the descriptions are good; the tables, figures, and example problems are well selected and relate well and easily to the text. The formatting is very well done which results in a text that is easy to relate to and one in which material is easy to find. With his dedication and perseverance in continuing to update this text over the years, Professor Tchobanoglous has become the best textbook author in our field.I would hesitate to use this text for undergraduate courses. (It costs too much and covers only wastewater treatment. Most undergraduate courses in the field cover water treatment and wastewater treatment in one course. This text it too comprehensive for undergraduate courses, and especially when coupled with a water treatment text, the cost is too high to require of undergraduates.) However, it would be my first choice for graduate courses. And as a practitioner it would be (and is) the wastewater text that I absolutely would not be without as a desk side reference.My only complaint about the book is its increase in size with each edition. Considering its hefty weight, Amazon should consider listing it as a body building product in addition to an engineering text. :)

I received this book in a good condition. This is a great book for teaching wastewater treatment.

Even If you are a complete beginer or you are an expert, this book is a must have if you are into waste water treatment. It is such a good reference as well as a very complete learning source. I must admit this new edition has a few error in the editing (ortogtaphy, charts, tables and graphics references from one chapter to another), but nothing that should impair its value... Im very happy with this purchase!!!

Didn’t enjoy the class all that much but the book was in great condition! And not a bad price for a rental of such a large book

The handbook is very helpful and used for the design of WTP

The book contents exceeded my expectations. A must have for graduate students. This book plus the environmental engineers handbook are excellent companions for biological treatment process design.

use it for process design
