ABSTRACT

This handbook is a compilation or summary of information available in many expert sources. Although every attempt has been made to cover all aspects of water and wastewater treatment system operation, it should be pointed out that no one single handbook has all the information or all the answers. Moreover, because of the physical limits of any written text, some topics are given only cursory exposure and limited coverage. For those individuals seeking a more in-depth treatment of specific topics germane to water and wastewater treatment system operations, we recommend consulting one or more of the references listed in Table 4.1 and any of the many other outstanding references appearing throughout this text.
