This book has a rather long history. It goes back to 1980, when environmental engineering evolved from sanitary engineering as a new and broader engineering discipline. I had the assignment to teach a course in mathematical modeling of technical systems as part of a new postgraduate course in Urban Water Mana- ment and Water Pollution Control at ETH in Zurich. I decided to teach this course on a rather abstract level, with the goal of introducing methods that are generally applicable across the different disciplines of what was then defined as envir- mental engineering. Now I teach a graduate...

Das bewahrte Buch liefert eine ausfuhrliche Einfuhrung in das Arbeitsgebiet der Siedlungswasserwirtschaft. Behandelt werden die Wasserbeschaffung und -aufbereitung, Wasserversorgung, Abwasserableitung, Regenwasserkonzepte, Abwasserreinigung und Schlammbehandlung. Dieses umfassende Lehrbuch kann vorlesungsbegleitend in Technischen Universitaten und Fachhochschulen sowie zum Selbststudium fur fortgeschrittene Studierende eingesetzt werden. Es vermittelt die grundlegenden Konzepte, Methoden und Modelle, ohne deren Verstandnis eine vertiefte praxisorientierte Tatigkeit im Bereich des Bau- und...
