Written by a select group of industry experts, under the supervision of the leading organization in water utilities, AWWA, this reference is the first practical guide to water desalination systems. Desalination is the process used to remove dissolved salts from seawater or highly-mineralized waters so that the water becomes usable for human and/or agricultural and industrial usage. This book offers authoritative guidance on the planning, design, and implementation of a successful water desalination system for public water utilities.

FROM THE PREFACE In the years since the first edition, I have continued to consider ways in which the texts could be improved. In this regard, I researched several topics including how people learn (learning styles, etc.), how the brain functions in storing and retrieving information, and the fundamentals of memory systems. Many of the changes incorporated in this second edition are a result of this research. The changes were field-tested during a three-year period in which I taught a water and wastewater mathematics course for Palomar Community College, San Marcos, California.

Precoat filtration is a US Environmental Protection Agency- (USEPA-) accepted filtration technique for potable water treatment. When the Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) went into effect in 1989, it provoked a renewed interest in this filtration process as well as other accepted filtration methods. This manual provides general guidelines for the use of precoat filtration, commonly called diatomaceous earth (DE or diatomite) filtration, in potable water treatment. It includes an evaluation of appropriate applications for precoat filtration, discusses the design of economical filtration...
