Description
Water and waste management covers the design, building and operation of plants for water treatment and supply, sewerage, wastewater treatment
and disposal, and solid waste treatment and disposal.
Since the last edition in 2002 there has been an increasing importance on the
issues reflecting climate change. This is particularly important when the result of this change must be ‘managed’ and ‘controlled’ to
maintain an amenity such as water supply. This new edition includes many new entries on the topics of stormwater management and flood
management, as well as the new EU Directives that cover this field.
With over 7000 terms, this dictionary encompasses the most recent
terminology on water and waste management. It is a handy reference for consultants, contractors and professional engineers as well as
academics and students who need a quick definition to technical terms.
Audience:
Civil, environmental and chemical engineering professionals. Environmental biologists, environmental chemists and environmental managers.
