"Thirty chapters cover intake facilities, aeration and air stripping, high-rate granular filtration, oxidation and disinfection, ion exchange applications in water treatment, membrane processes, chemicals and chemical handling, process instrumentation and controls, operations and maintenance considerations, cost estimating, and ultraviolet disinfection, among other topics."

This resource serves "the needs of both the scientific community and the general reader for high quality information, and to contribute to scientific education and technological literacy."

"For more than two decades, professional engineers, contractors, and project supervisors have turned to Parmley's FIELD ENGINEER'S MANUAL for instant access to reliable data on hydraulics * erosion control * drainage * construction materials * welding * sewage collection * water supply and storage * fire protection * energy and fuels * geology and soils * athletic facilities and more."

The Handbook covers systems design, community and regional planning, the latest design methods for buildings, airports, highways, tunnels and bridges. It includes sections on construction equipment, construction management, materials, specifications, structural theory, geotechnical engineering, wood, concrete, steel design and construction.
