Se exponen los cálculos de los procesos de descontaminación que ocurren en las aguas, ya en ríos, ya en plantas depuradoras, realizando su modelización matemática, y su resolución informática, de la forma más sencilla para que técnicos de diferentes formaciones, que convergen en el ámbito de las aguas, puedan comprenderlos sin mayores dificultades, suministrándose las ecuaciones de aplicación y los programas que las resuelven, ya numérica o gráficamente, haciendo uso de los programas MatLab, Simulink y Maple

Abounding with figures, images, and illustrations previously unavailable in print publications, the Encyclopedia of Water Science provides instant access to the most effective procedures in agricultural water engineering—unveiling a wide spectrum of design concepts, methodologies, and solutions for enhanced performance of water quality, treatment, conservation, and irrigation methods

This comprehensive text provides the reader with both a detailed reference and a unified course on wastewater treatment. Aimed at scientists and engineers, it deals with the environmental and biological aspects of wastewater treatment and sludge disposal. The book starts by examining the nature of wastewaters and how they are oxidized in the natural environment. An introductory chapter deals with wastewater treatment systems and examines how natural principles have been harnessed by man to treat his own waste in specialist reactors. The role of organisms is considered by looking at kinetics, metabolism and the different types of micro-organisms involved. All the major biological process groups are examined in detail, in highly referenced chapters; they include fixed film reactors, activated sludge, stabilization ponds, anaerobic systems and vegetative processes. Sludge treatment and disposal is examined with particular reference to the environmental problems associated with the various disposal routes. A comprehensive chapter on public health looks at the important waterborne organisms associated with disease, as well as removal processes within treatment systems. Biotechnology has had an enormous impact on wastewater treatment at every level, and this is explored in terms of resource reuse, biological conversion processes and environmental protection. Finally, there is a short concluding chapter that looks at the sustainability of waste water treatment. The text is fully illustrated and supported by over 3000 references
