EBOOK - Principles of Water Treatment (Kerry J. Howe & David W. Hand & John C. Crittenden)
Without water, life cannot exist. Thus, securing an adequate supply of fresh, clean water is essential to the health of humankind and the functioning of modern society. Water is also known as the universal solvent it is capable of dissolving a vast number of natural and synthetic chemicals. Increasing population and the contamination of water with municipal, agricultural, and industrial wastes has led to a deterioration of water quality and nearly all sources of water require some form of treatment before potable use. This textbook is designed to serve as an introduction to the field of water treatment and the processes that are used to make water safe to drink.
