WASTEWATER ENGINEERING HANDBOOK – VOLUME 1

Fundamentals, Characterization, Collection Systems, Sewer Hydraulics, Pumping, Rehabilitation and Asset Management

Wastewater engineering is no longer limited to the traditional concept of collecting wastewater, treating it, and disposing of the resulting effluent. Modern wastewater infrastructure must protect public health, safeguard the environment, provide reliable service, conserve energy, manage aging assets, respond to climate change, and increasingly recover water, energy, nutrients, and other valuable resources.

Wastewater Engineering Handbook – Volume 1 provides a comprehensive foundation for understanding and designing modern wastewater infrastructure.

Beginning with the fundamentals of wastewater engineering, the book examines wastewater sources, generation and flow characteristics, physical and chemical characteristics, biological and microbiological constituents, sampling, testing, laboratory analysis, and treatment-process selection. It then moves from wastewater treatment fundamentals into the infrastructure that makes wastewater management possible: collection systems, sewer hydraulics, special structures, pumping stations, rising mains, infiltration and inflow assessment, sewer rehabilitation, and asset management.

The book provides practical coverage of:

• Wastewater engineering fundamentals and design philosophy
• Domestic, commercial, institutional, industrial, and municipal wastewater
• Wastewater generation and flow estimation
• Average, minimum, peak, dry-weather, and wet-weather flows
• Wastewater physical, chemical, biological, and microbiological characteristics
• BOD, COD, solids, nutrients, pathogens, and emerging contaminants
• Wastewater sampling, testing, laboratory analysis, and QA/QC
• Wastewater treatment processes and treatment-train selection
• Sanitary, combined, separate, gravity, and pressure sewer systems
• Sewer network planning and hydraulic design
• Manning's equation, hydraulic radius, velocity, slope, and sewer capacity
• Partial-flow hydraulics and hydraulic grade-line analysis
• Manholes, drop structures, inverted siphons, crossings, outfalls, and special structures
• Wastewater pumping stations and wet-well design
• Pump selection, pump curves, duty/standby arrangements, and controls
• Rising-main hydraulics and transient pressure
• Emergency storage, backup power, reliability, and maintenance
• Infiltration and inflow assessment
• Flow monitoring, CCTV inspection, smoke testing, and condition assessment
• Sewer rehabilitation and trenchless technologies
• Pipe lining, CIPP, pipe bursting, grouting, and manhole rehabilitation
• Sewer asset inventories and condition assessment
• Probability of failure, consequence of failure, and risk-based prioritization
• Lifecycle cost and long-term infrastructure renewal
• GIS, CMMS, sensors, AI, predictive maintenance, and digital asset management
• Sustainability, resilience, energy efficiency, and climate adaptation

Designed as both a learning resource and professional reference, this volume connects engineering theory with practical infrastructure decisions. It emphasizes the interaction among wastewater flows, pollutant characteristics, hydraulic performance, pumping, infrastructure condition, rehabilitation, reliability, safety, sustainability, and lifecycle economics.

A practical reference for civil and environmental engineers, consultants, designers, contractors, operators, researchers, students, utilities, and infrastructure professionals.

From Wastewater Generation to Reliable Infrastructure
