Provides the tools needed to control and remediate thequality of natural water systems Now in its Second Edition, this acclaimed text sets forthcore concepts and principles that govern the fate and transport ofcontaminants in water, giving environmental and civil engineers andstudents a full set of tools to design systems that effectivelycontrol and remediate the quality of natural waters. Readers willfind coverage of all major classes of water bodies. Moreover, theauthor discusses the terrestrial fate and transport of contaminantsin watersheds, underscoring the link between terrestrial loadingsand water pollution. Water-Quality Engineering in Natural Systems begins withan introduction exploring the sources of water pollution and thecontrol of water pollution. It then presents the fundamentals offate and transport, including the derivation and application of theadvection–diffusion equation. Next, the text covers issuesthat are unique to: Rivers and streams Groundwater Watersheds Lakes and reservoirs Wetlands Oceans and estuaries The final two chapters are dedicated to analyzing water-qualitymeasurements and modeling water quality. This Second Edition is thoroughly updated based on thelatest findings, practices, and standards. In particular, readerswill find new methods for calculating total maximum daily loads forriver contaminants, with specific examples detailing the fate andtransport of bacteria, a pressing problem throughout the world. With end-of-chapter problems and plenty of worked examples,Water-Quality Engineering in Natural Systems enables readersto not only understand what happens to contaminants in water, butalso design systems to protect people from toxic pollutants.
