About the book CONTENT

This book presents under one cover, the procedures step-by-step, environmental significance, 1 : WATER AND WASTE WATER QUALITY
practical applications of each test, sample collection programme and sampling techniques and 2 : ORGANIZATION OF SAMPLE COLLECTION
also standards of water for various uses. PROGRAMME AND SAMPLING TEChNIQUES
3 : EXPERIMENTS
The book is divided in well-arranged five chapters - dealing with major water and waste water 4 : WATER QUALITY STANDARDS
quality parameters of physical, chemical and biological. It describes the methods used for 5 : QUESTION BANK
planning and sampling of ground and surface waters, etc. It also deal with how to analyse
conventional water and waste water quality parameters; and also with water quality standards
for use in various organisations.
The book contains numerous objective questions useful for various competitive examinations on
this subject. As most of the Indian Universities have included water analysis as Laboratory course,
the book should be extremely useful to the students of Civil and Environmental Engineering and
also for M.Sc., Botony, Zoology, Earth Sciences and Environmental Sciences.
