It emphasizes energy-neutral plants, nutrient recovery, and sustainable biosolids management, making it an indispensable resource for environmental engineers, civil engineering professionals, and graduate students committed to cutting-edge, eco-conscious water management. ## Description Wastewater Engineering: Treatment and Resource Recovery, 5/e is a thorough update of McGraw-Hill's authoritative book on wastewater treatment. No environmental engineering professional or civil or environmental engineering major should be without a copy of this book - describing the rapidly evolving field of wastewater engineering technological and regulatory changes that have occurred over the last ten years in this discipline, including: a new view of a wastewater as a source of energy, nutrients and potable water; more stringent discharge requirements related to nitrogen and phosphorus; enhanced understanding of the fundamental microbiology and physiology of the microorganisms responsible for the removel of nitrogen and phosphorus and other constituents; an appreciation of the importance of the separate treatment of return flows with respect to meeting more stringent standards for nitrogen removal and opportunities for nutrient recovery; increased emphasis on the treatment of sludge and the management of biosolids; increased awareness of carbon footprints impacts and greenhouse gas emissions, and an emphasis on the development of energy neutral or energy positive wastewater plants through more efficient use of chemical and heat energy in wastewater. This revision contains a strong focus on advanced wastewater treatment technologies and stresses the reuse aspects of wastewater and biosolids. Review: An essential reference book — arrived in excellent condition - purchased this book new and it arrived in excellent condition. It looks brand new and I’ve been reading it daily since I received it. I already knew the content, but I took advantage of a price drop to finally get the physical copy—and I’m very happy I did. Wastewater Engineering: Treatment and Resource Recovery is a comprehensive and indispensable technical reference for anyone involved in wastewater treatment. The content is detailed and well-organized, making it valuable for both students and professionals. However, due to its length and weight, it can be a bit difficult to read or reference casually. I would really appreciate having access to a PDF version for easier consultation. Still, I strongly prefer physical books, since reading on screens tires me out quickly. I chose not to get the Kindle version because the screen size is too small to comfortably view the many diagrams, tables, and images the book contains. Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase. It’s a must-have in any environmental or civil engineering library. Review: This is the best and most comprehensive wastewater treatment text in the field - This is the best and most comprehensive wastewater treatment text in the field. Prof. Tchobanoglous has done an excellent job of improving this text edition by edition. The subjects are technically accurate and up to date; the descriptions are good; the tables, figures, and example problems are well selected and relate well and easily to the text. The formatting is very well done which results in a text that is easy to relate to and one in which material is easy to find. With his dedication and perseverance in continuing to update this text over the years, Professor Tchobanoglous has become the best textbook author in our field. I would hesitate to use this text for undergraduate courses. (It costs too much and covers only wastewater treatment. Most undergraduate courses in the field cover water treatment and wastewater treatment in one course. This text it too comprehensive for undergraduate courses, and especially when coupled with a water treatment text, the cost is too high to require of undergraduates.) However, it would be my first choice for graduate courses. And as a practitioner it would be (and is) the wastewater text that I absolutely would not be without as a desk side reference. My only complaint about the book is its increase in size with each edition. Considering its hefty weight, desertcart should consider listing it as a body building product in addition to an engineering text. :) ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #229,975 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Environmental Engineering (Books) #97 in Civil Engineering (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 184 Reviews | ## Images ![Wastewater Engineering: Treatment and Resource Recovery - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vkJb3d2CL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An essential reference book — arrived in excellent condition *by D***Z on August 3, 2025* purchased this book new and it arrived in excellent condition.
