Book Description
The book in its present form introduces detailed descriptions and illustrative solved problems in the fields of Water Supply, Sanitary and Environmental Engineering. The entire subject matter has been split up in three parts: Part I Water Supply Engineering Part II Sanitary Engineering Part III Environmental Engineering. The first part deals with Water Supply Engineering which is related to demand of water for various purposes in human life, sources of water supply, quantity and quality of water, treatment and distribution of water, etc. The second part deals with Sanitary Engineering which is related to quality and quantity of sewage, construction and design of sewers, methods of treatment of sewage, etc. The third part discusses various aspects of Environmental Engineering including air pollution, noise pollution, etc. A typical design of a domestic sewage treatment plant is given in the Appendix as an additional attraction. The book now contains: * 253 * 140 * 60 * 610 Self-explanatory and neat diagrams Illustrative problems Useful tables Questions at the end of chapters. It is hoped that the book in its present form will be extremely useful to the Engineering students preparing for the Degree Examinations in Civil Engineering of all the Indian Universities, Diploma Examinations conducted by various Boards of Technical Education, Certificate Courses as well as for A.M.I.E., U.P.S.C., other similar Competitive and Professional Examinations.

Book Description
The supply of healthy drinking water and disposal of our wastewater is a central problem. Solving this problem is one of the claims of the UN Millennium Development Goals, and consequently an obligation for all those involved with water to join efforts in finding solutions. Climate change, population growth, migration and urban sprawl are factors forcing us to reconsider the traditional approach to urban water management. The water supply and sanitation infrastructure currently in use worldwide was developed in and for countries which are relatively wealthy, and which have access to plenty of water. Is it really wise to build the same kind of infrastructure and to apply the same methods and processes in regions with different climatic, ecological and economical conditions? Should we maintain our flush and discharge sanitation concepts while freshwater is becoming a limited resource? Aren't there smarter more environmentally sound methods to use and safegaurd our precious water resources? Are water authorities, city planners, architects, regulators and politicians ready to accept innovative solutions deviating from those described in textbooks? Questions like these were raised during the International Symposium Water Supply and Sanitation for All held in Berching, Germany from September 27 - 28, 2007. This book collects the papers presented at this conference.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sanitary Engineering With Respect to Water-Supply and Sewage Disposal Towards the end of 1901, when "Civil Engineering as applied in Construction" had been printed off, and was within a few weeks of publication, Messrs. Longmans, having looked through the headings of the subjects dealt with in that book, noticed that the very important subject, "Sanitary Engineering," occupying the four last chapters of the book, had not been included in the volumes forming their "Civil Engineering Series," and quite unexpectedly wrote to propose my supplying this omission. Bearing in mind that several books relating to waterworks and to sewage works had been published in recent years, and that, owing to my very limited leisure, the preparation of "Civil Engineering" had extended over a long period, I felt considerable hesitation about entertaining their suggestion. Eventually, however, recognizing that Messrs. Longmans were right in considering that no Civil Engineering Series could be regarded as complete without a volume on "Sanitary Engineering," and believing that the two subjects Water-Supply and Sewage Disposal, forming in conjunction the basis of sanitary science, might with advantage be dealt with in a single book, I came to the conclusion that I should not be justified in declining the proposal. Accordingly, during the last five years, I have devoted all the leisure time I could spare to the preparation of this book, in the earnest hope that by treating, as fully as practicable within the limits imposed, of two subjects so intimately connected and of such vital importance, the book may prove acceptable and useful to my professional brethren, and, being written in as little technical language as possible, may possess an interest for the public at large, whose health and prosperity are so greatly dependent upon the due observance of the rules of sanitary science, and the efficient carrying out of the works described.

Book Description
Environmental engineers support the well-being of people and the planet in areas where the two intersect. Over the decades the field has improved countless lives through innovative systems for delivering water, treating waste, and preventing and remediating pollution in air, water, and soil. These achievements are a testament to the multidisciplinary, pragmatic, systems-oriented approach that characterizes environmental engineering. Environmental Engineering for the 21st Century: Addressing Grand Challenges outlines the crucial role for environmental engineers in this period of dramatic growth and change. The report identifies five pressing challenges of the 21st century that environmental engineers are uniquely poised to help advance: sustainably supply food, water, and energy; curb climate change and adapt to its impacts; design a future without pollution and waste; create efficient, healthy, resilient cities; and foster informed decisions and actions.
