ABOUT THE BOOK

FUNDAMENTALS OF HYDROLOGY 

AUTHOR : TIM DAVIE

PUBLISHERS : ROUTLEDGE TAYLOR AND FRANCIS GROUP


It is the presence or absence of water that by and large determines how and where humans are able to live. This in itself makes water an important compound, but when you add in that the availability of water varies enormously in time and space, and that water is an odd substance in terms of its physical and chemical properties, it is possible to see that water is a truly extraordinary substance worthy of study at great length. To study hydrology is to try and understand the distribution and movement of fresh water around the globe. It is of fundamental importance to a rapidly growing world population that we understand the controls on availability of fresh water. To achieve this we need to know the fundamentals of hydrology as a science. From this position it is possible to move forward towards the management of water resources to benefit people in the many areas of the world where water availability is stressed.
There have been, and are, many excellent textbooks on hydrology. This book does not set out to eclipse all others, rather it is an attempt to fit into a niche that the author has found hard to fill in his teaching of hydrology in an undergraduate Physical Geography and Environmental Science setting. It aims to provide a solid foundation in the fundamental concepts that need to be understood by anybody taking the study of hydrology further. These fundamental concepts are: an understanding of process; an understanding of measurement and estimation techniques; how to interpret and analyse hydrological data; and some of the major issues of change confronting  Hydrology. One particular aspect that the author has found difficult to find within a single text has been the integration of water quantity and quality assessment; this is attempted here. The book is aimed at first- and second-year undergraduate students. - Preface by the author

ABOUT THE BOOK

BUILDING MATERIALS

AUTHOR : S.K. DUGGAL

PUBLISHERS : NEW AGE INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHERS PRIVATE LIMITED

The primary purpose of writing this book is to give engineering students up-to-date information on building materials. The book has been prepared after referring to a number of text books, references and standards. S.I. units have been used throughout the text as far as possible. 

The author has tried to incorporate essential information concerning manufacture/fabrication of the various building materials; the data covering the more important mechanical and physical properties, influences of various factors on these properties; the causes of defects, their prevention and remedies; testing of materials. An attempt has also been made to present to the reader some of the more general uses and applications of the different materials. 

CONTENTS
  1. Principal Properties of Building Materials 
  2. Structural Clay Products 
  3. Rocks and Stones 
  4. Wood and Wood Products 
  5. Materials for Making Concrete-I Cement 
  6. Materials for Making Concrete-II Aggregates 
  7. Materials for Making Concrete-III Water

DETAILED CONTENTS





This book highlights: mechanical and physical properties of various materials with emphasis on strength and durability; influence of various factors on these properties; causes of defects, their prevention and remedies; and, testing procedures of materials. This edition includes: materials changes in chapters dealing with cement, concrete, lime and many others; updated testing procedures; numerous revision of data and substitutions; and, smart and composite materials as a separate chapter. The book would serve as a through text for undergraduate students of civil engineering, architecture and construction technology. Practising engineers, architects and contractors would also find it a valuable reference source.

ABOUT THE BOOK

HANDBOOK OF WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT OPERATIONS

AUTHOR : FRANK R SPELLMAN

PUBLISHERS : LEWIS PUBLISHERS

In Handbook of Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations , the intent of the author is twofold. The rst intent is to consolidate the information and experience in waterworks and wastewater treatment plant operations that have evolved as a result of technological advances in the eld, and as a result of the concepts and policies promulgated by the environmental laws and the subsequent guidelines. The second intent is to discuss step-bystep procedures for the correct and efcient operation of water and wastewater treatment systems. Tertiary to this twofold intent is the proper preparation of operators to qualify for state licensure and certication examinations. 

With the impetus given to water quality improvement through the Municipal Construction Grants Program, the United States has undertaken an unprecedented building program for new and improved water and wastewater treatment systems. To date, much emphasis has been placed on training engineers to plan, design, and construct treatment facilities. At present, many programs in various engineering disciplines at many universities offer courses in water and wastewater treatment plant design and operation. 

This text is not about the planning, designing, or construction of water and wastewater treatment facilities. While these tasks are paramount to conception and construction of needed facilities and needed infrastructure, many excellent texts are available that cover these important areas. This text is not about engineering at all. Instead, it is about operations and is designed for the operator. We often forget the old axiom: someone must build it, but once built, someone must operate it. It is the operation of it that concerns us here. 


CONTENTS

  1. Problems Facing Water and Wastewater Treatment Operations
  2. Water and Wastewater Operators and Their Roles
  3. Water and Wastewater References, Models, and Terminology
