A comprehensive guide for water and wastewater engineers, "Rules of Thumb for Water and Wastewater Engineers" is a valuable resource that facilitates quick evaluations and informed design decisions. Water and wastewater treatment are crucial components of the water economy, playing a vital role in the health and prosperity of communities. At its core, the process involves converting one analysis, such as source water from wells, lakes, seas, wastewater, or even treated wastewater, into usable water. This process is typically divided into industrial and municipal processes based on the intended use of the produced water.

"Rules of Thumb for Water and Wastewater Engineers" adopts a contaminant-classified approach, equipping engineers with the skills to select the most effective methodology for a wide range of impurities in an H2O source. Within these parameters, the manual offers comprehensive guidelines for key areas of management, including potable water treatment, municipal wastewater treatment, industrial water treatment, and industrial wastewater treatment. By identifying both consumers and contaminants as the initial step in water treatment, the program provides engineers with a convenient reference tool to quickly assess situations and estimate design decisions.

In addition to offering practical guidelines, "Rules of Thumb for Water and Wastewater Engineers" provides readers with valuable tools that expedite the evaluation process and enable swift decision-making. The book includes two chapters dedicated to the removal of dissolved materials, a complex topic that demands significant attention. These rules of thumb have been developed over the author's extensive experience of over 20 years in the field, offering insights and practical tips.

To enhance understanding and clarity, the text is accompanied by illustrations and figures that reinforce the key points discussed. Whether you are a novice or an experienced engineer, "Rules of Thumb for Water and Wastewater Engineers" is an indispensable resource that will help you optimize water and wastewater treatment processes, ensuring the safety and sustainability of our water resources.
