1.6 CHAPTER ONE

• Chapters 4 through 14 address design practices for the major categories of unit pro-
cesses applicable to water treatment plants.
• Chapters 15 through 21 cover the support systems associated with the design of water
treatment facilities.
• Chapters 22 through 28 discuss general topics essential to developing a successful wa-
ter treatment plant project.
• Chapters 29 and 30 are new in this edition and provide information on ultraviolet dis-
infection and security.
Because of the rapid changes that the water treatment engineering industry is under-
going, many chapters include a discussion of future trends. These sections attempt to in-
form the reader of new developments not yet in general practice, but that may soon be-
come so.

BIBLIOGRAPHY

A list is provided at the end of each chapter of references specific to the chapter subject.
In addition, a number of other texts are cited that the design engineer should be aware of
for reference and additional details.

Relationship with Water Quality and Treatment
The AWWA publication Water Quality and Treatment is intended to be a companion ref-
erence to Water Treatment Plant Design and to serve as the primary reference for pro-
cess engineers. Water Quality and Treatment provides details of water quality goals, with
an emphasis on unit processes, standards, and the evaluation and selection of treatment
process trains.
