Water Science and Technology

Water and wastewater treatment technologies are constantly evolving, employing chemists, microbiologists, botanists, and zoologists as well as engineers._x005F_x000D_ This broad and introductory textbook explains the fundamentals of hydrobiology, aquatic ecosystems, water treatment and supply, wastewater treatment and integrated catchment management -- now with coverage of the effects of climate change, environmental assessment, sustainability and the threat to biodiversity. It serves as a primer for students or practitioners in science and engineering who have an interested in freshwater biology, chemistry, microbiology or environmental engineering or who need to span these areas.
