Engineers explain importance of wastewater reuse in new book
MONTEREY PARK, Calif. (PRWEB) March 25, 2015 -- In the new book “Turning Sewage into Reusable Water: Written for the Layperson” (published by Archway Publishing), two professional engineers explain how sewage is safely turned into reusable water and why the process is necessary to conserve Earth’s most abundant natural resource. Authors Madan Arora and Joe Reichenberger write for the layperson, introducing the concepts of wastewater treatment and recycling in easy-to-understand language. They hope their book will prove useful to not only laypersons, but also students, parents, school counselors, advisers, council members and board members of water and sanitation agencies.
“Turning Sewage into Reusable Water” features more than just an overview of wastewater treatment and reuse. The authors include information about wastewater systems; wastewater characteristics and flow; the past, present and future of sewage treatment; and the costs of maintaining and operating a wastewater treatment facility, among other in-depth topics.
“Although our water and wastewater systems are ‘out of sight, out of mind,’ they are complex systems,” the authors say. “After reading the book, we hope that our readers will have a better understanding of how these systems operate and, that to continue functioning, they will need attention and appropriate funding. There is a finite amount of fresh water on Earth and we must use it wisely and efficiently and treat it to the point where it can be recycled.”
