The revised second edition updates and expands the discussion, and
incorporates additional figures and illustrative problems.
Improvements include a new chapter on basic chemistry, a more
comprehensive chapter on hydrology, and an updated chapter on
regulations and standards. This book presents the basic aspects of
water quality, emphasizing physical, chemical, and biological
factors. The study of water quality draws information from a variety
of disciplines including chemistry, biology, mathematics, physics,
engineering, and resource management. University training in water
quality is often limited to specialized courses in engineering,
ecology, and fisheries curricula. This book also offers a basic
understanding of water quality to professionals who are not formally
trained in the subject. Because it employs only first-year
college-level chemistry and very basic physics, the book is
well-suited as the foundation for a general introductory course in
water quality. It is equally useful as a guide for self-study and an
in-depth resource for general readers.
