Basic Science Concepts and Applications for Wastewater provides readers with the science principles and operational calculations related to the wastewater treatment field. The chapters in this book have been organized into four main sections: mathematics, hydraulics, chemistry, and electricity.

Each section covers basic principles of the topic, as well as information specific to wastewater operations. This straightforward approach enables students to study basic calculations and principles, which can then be applied to actual problems that are often encountered in wastewater operations. This useful on-the-job reference also features problems that directly follow each calculation, equation, and principle, so that the student can immediately apply a calculation or scientific principle to a relevant problem for quick understanding and a better learning experience. Helpful footnotes are also included. 520 pp.
