Water supply and wastewater treatment are often taught as separate subjects. In practice, they form one continuous engineered system, from source development and drinking-water treatment to distribution, collection, wastewater treatment, and reuse.

Water and Wastewater Engineering Handbook brings both sides of municipal water engineering together in one practical reference.

Designed for practicing civil and environmental engineers, advanced students, PE exam candidates, utility managers, and operators, this handbook explains the principles, calculations, and design logic behind the systems that keep communities supplied with safe water and protect receiving waters from pollution.

Inside, readers will learn how to:

  • Estimate population, water demand, wastewater flow, and peak design conditions
  • Apply hydraulic equations to pipes, channels, pumps, storage, and collection systems
  • Understand coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection
  • Evaluate water distribution systems, pressure zones, storage, fire flow, and water age
  • Design and assess gravity sewers, lift stations, preliminary treatment, and primary clarification
  • Understand activated sludge, attached-growth systems, nutrient removal, and advanced treatment
  • Work through biosolids thickening, digestion, dewatering, beneficial use, and disposal
  • Interpret pump curves, system curves, operating points, parallel operation, and series operation
  • Explore current topics including PFAS treatment, potable reuse, membranes, climate resilience, resource recovery, SCADA, and digital utility management

The handbook includes fully worked design examples, end-of-chapter practice problems with answers, quick-reference equation tables, a complete equation appendix, unit-conversion references, a cross-referenced glossary, and clear warnings identifying values that require local or regulatory verification.

Rather than presenting isolated formulas, the book shows how design decisions connect across the entire municipal water cycle. Readers can study it chapter by chapter or use it as a working reference when reviewing calculations, treatment options, hydraulic systems, and operating conditions.

Whether you are preparing for professional practice, strengthening your technical foundation, or looking for one resource that connects water and wastewater engineering, this handbook offers a practical path from fundamentals to modern utility challenges.

Build a clearer understanding of the complete municipal water cycle, from source to tap, sewer, treatment, and reuse.
