Solving problem is one of the functions of an engineer. Text books in the field of wastewater engineering devote most of their pages to the development and explanation of the theory. This book is devoted to the pragmatic idea that performance and understanding of calculations should have more proportion in illustrating the principles. Special attention has been given to problems relating to sludges, nutrient removal, natural system of treatment, VOCs, economics ...

This book endeavor to explore various important topics of immediate concern to all our stake holders, especially students, researches, practitioners, teachers, NGOs etc. This book also introduces the ...
In the past few years we have seen the emergence growing demand, widespread desire in our country and indeed everywhere, that positive action is required to be taken to restore the quality of our environment for survival to protect it from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution-air, water, noise, solid waste (Electronic, Nuclear etc). Since the seemingly idealistic demand for “zero discharge” can be construed as a demand for zero waste. ...
The anaerobic process is in many ways ideal for waste treatment. It has several significant advantages over other available methods and is almost certainly assured of increased usage in the future. Anaerobic treatment is currently employed at most municipal treatment and also in some industrial sectors. However, inspite of the present significance and large future potential of this process, it has not yet enjoyed the favourable reputation it truly deserves. The ...

This book endeavors to explore various important topics of immediate concern to all our stake holders, especially students, researchers, practitioners, teachers, NGOs etc. This book introduces the ...
The traditional approach of applying tries-and-true solutions to specific pollution problems has been a major factor contributing to the success of environment engineering and in large measure has accounted for the establishment of a methodology However, realizing the already great complexity of current environmental problems, and understanding that, as times goes on, these issues will become more complex and interrelated, render it imperative that intelligent ...
Dynamics of Kashmir Politics" is an analytical study of nature and motivation in factional politics of Kashmir. It has been studied in five chapters. First chapter deals with basic cause of factionalism in Kashmir politics. Constitutional development and status of Kashmir is discussed in the chapter second. However, third chapter throws light on the state politics in Jammu and Kashmir. Growth of political parties and its social relevances has been described ...
With increasing pollution of freshwater resources and growing demand of water for various human purposes, the use of wastewater in agriculture and aquaculture is going to increase in the coming decades. It is perhaps the first comprehensive book to cover the vital issues related to this area. The book shall be indispensable for life scientists, chemists, ecologists, environmental scientists & engineers, industries, environmental consultants, aquaculturists, ...
Analysis of water and wastewater is becoming increasingly important and necessary to examine the quality of water and wastewater. This is also an important tool to conduct treatability studies of wastewater and to assess ill effects and health effects. This book incorporates significant involvements in methodology and techniques for the examination of different type of water and wastewater. The book deals in details with sampling, physical analysis, chemical ...
With the increasingly stringent national and international regulations governing wastewater treatment in today's environment, to develop innovative and more efficient wastewater technologies have become the crying need of the time. In the last few years, research on new methods for wastewater treatment has gone from processes involving, mere phase transfer (e.g. air stripping, activated carbon adsorption etc.) to complete mineralisation of the contaminant to ...
Political Turmoil of Kashmir is a comprehensive and analytical study of historical developments of socio-political system of Kashmir. This book is organised in five comprehensive chapters. Definitely, the contents will benefit academics as well as policy planners.
Tanning is an ancient craft in India being practised for many centuries as an industrial operation at the village level has today acquired the status of a mature industry playing an important role in country's economy. The industry is unevenly scattered in the country, and existing in the large medium, small and cottage sectors. Although the tanning industry has been in existence for long, the problem of environmental pollution received serious consideration only ...
During travel to various part of India in general, and universities, institutions, and other educational centers in particular, where environmental engineering is being taught, it was found that little emphases is given to problem solving in wastewater was felt for a book which can help background in mathematics to solve day to day problems in wastewater engineering. Keeping this aspect in view, the authors have tried to solve varied types of problem (more than ...
