First published in 1958, Salvato"s Environmental Engineering has long been the definitive text/reference for generations of sanitation and environmental engineers. Having developed through each edition with the growth of the profession, the current book covers topics as disparate as landfills, water treatment, recreational facilities, and food handling in restaurants. Approaching its 50th year of continual publication in a rapidly changing field, the Sixth Edition has been fully reworked and reorganized into three separate, succinct volumes to adapt to a more complex and scientifically demanding field with dozens of specializations. Completely rewritten by leading experts in the field, this new edition offers succinct new case studies, new process and plant design examples, and added coverage of such subjects as urban and rural systems. Volume 1 covers water and wastewater treatment, water supply, soil and groundwater remediation and protection, and industrial waste management.
