Wastewater Conveyance and Nonpoint Source Pollution Control: Theory and Design Examples presents the fundamentals of fluid mechanics related to wastewater collection, conveyance, and pumping, the principles of surface water hydrology and watershed management, and the control of nonpoint source pollution. Further, it examines the important design parameters in conveyance, stormwater runoff, nonpoint source pollution control, and combined sewer overflows in the overall context of watershed management. It provides numerous design examples and step-by-step solutions to enhance the readers’ comprehension and deeper understanding of the basic concept of topics discussed. It serves as a useful guide for researchers, professionals, students, and those who work for engineering firms, equipment manufacturers, and as technical personnel involved with wastewater conveyance.

- Provides nearly 325 theory and design examples and step-by-step solutions to design wastewater collection and conveyance systems.

- Aids students and professionals for learning, and to master the problem-solving skills needed for professional engineering (P.E.) exams.

- Includes useful appendices that includes various standards, constants, and properties.
