Sewage and Drainage Engineering

The challenge of sustainable development means cities need to improve their vital systems but this can be difficult and time-consuming. A transparent and democratic strategy is important to gain support for change and develop a basic vision. This book explores options for developing sanitation and urban drainage systems in industrialized countries analyzing trends for sewage system innovation. In the past sewage systems have evolved from removal to removal and cleaning. The future challenge is to recover energy and resources while maintaining/improving sanitation and reducing emissions. The book covers the design and construction of municipal water and wastewater facilities making it useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students of engineering and environmental science as well as industrial design consultants.
