Presenting an overview of methods used to describe or predict transport in aquatic systems, this text places special emphasis on water quality modelling. It begins with an overview of the basic principles and an introduction to the measurement and analysis of flow. Each chapter examines a variety of modelling approaches, while also looking at rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs and estuaries.

The field of environmental engineering is rapidly emerging into a mainstream engineering discipline. For a long time, environmental engineering has suffered from the lack of a well-defined identity. At times, the problems faced by environmental engineers require knowledge in many engineering fields, including chemical, civil, sanitary, and mechanical engineering. Increased demand for undergraduate training in environmental engineering has led to growth in the number of undergraduate programs offered. Fundamentals of Environmental Engineering provides an introductory approach that focuses on...
