Elements Of Sanitary Engineering Scholars Choice Edition PDF Download

Excerpt from Elements of Sanitary Engineering While this volume is primarily intended for the use of students in engineering colleges, its plan and arrangement are materially different from those of other text-books on water supply and sewerage. The effort has been made to present the subject clearly and concisely in the smallest possible space, giving greater prominence to fundamental principles than to details of construction and operation. It is also hoped that the book may prove useful to municipal officers who have supervision of sanitary works as well as to the public in general, for it presents the guiding principles which should be observed in order to secure a pure water supply or an efficient system of sewerage. At the end of each chapter are given exercises and problems for students. These require that the student shall consult cyclopedias, books, and engineering literature in order to obtain information regarding the details of special topics or of the construction of plants. It will be found highly advantageous to have several of these exercises presented and discussed at every class recitation, each being presented by a different student while the class takes notes and joins in the discussion. In this way each student will, during the course, become acquainted with engineering indexes, books, and journals, and learn how to use them in finding the assigned topics, while the oral presentation of the facts and conclusions to the class gives him valuable training.
