Good organization, poor mathematics
This book is better organized than most other texts in this field. The selection of topics is generally good. Coverage of many topics is quite satisfactory. Ion exchange and membrane processes, however, are notexplained well.

While descriptive subjects (e.g.microbiology,diseases,etc) and those subjects that do not require advanced mathematicsare well explained, there are some serious blunders in the coverage of moremathematical topics.

For example, the author employs mathematicallanguage and notation in trying to "prove" or "derive"certain equations in Chapter 10 (pp. 255 to 261). The mathematics used,however, is sloppy and therefore the presentation is more confusing thanconvincing. The analysis covering Equations 10.37 to 10.40 shows that theauthor does not have an understanding of the substantial (material)derivative of fluid mechanics and transport phenomona.

There are someserious mistakes in the treatment of fixed bed adsorber systems(pp.490-498). For example, equations 15.51 and 15.65 are incorrect. Thereis also a mistake in Equation 15.57. There are other more fundamentalmistakes. The author seems confused here. I advise readers to consult Weberor Benefield et al. to study this subject.

Despite the above criticism,this book's treatment of many topics is more comprehensive and satisfactorythan that of many a textbook in this field. It is a valuable and wellcomeaddition to the textbook literature. In preparing the second edition,however, the author should have the chapter on mass balances and reactionkinetics completely rewritten (possibly by someone from the chemicalengineering faculty).

Product Description
The books currently available on this subject contain some elements of physical-chemical treatment of water and wastewater but fall short of giving comprehensive and authoritative coverage.They contain some equations that are not substantiated, offering empirical data based on assumptions that are therefore difficult to comprehend. This text brings together the information previously scattered in several books and adds the knowledge from the author's lectures on wastewater engineering.Physical-Chemical Treatment of Water and Wastewater is not only descriptive but is also analytical in nature.The work covers the physical unit operations and unit processes utilized in the treatment of water and wastewater.Its organization is designed to match the major processes and its approach is mathematical.The authors stress the description and derivation of processes and process parameters in mathematical terms, which can then be generalized into diverse empirical situations. Each chapter includes design equations, definitions of symbols, a glossary of terms, and worked examples.One author is an environmental engineer and a professor for over 12 years and the other has been in the practice of environmental engineering for more than 20 years. They offer a sound analytical mathematical foundation and description of processes. Physical-Chemical Treatment of Water and Wastewater fills a niche as the only dedicated textbook in the area of physical and chemical methods, providing an analytical approach applicable to a range of empirical situations ...

Out-of-print classic wastewater engineering design text
[for civil/mechanical engineers] This is the classic Metcalf and Eddy wastewater design text. It was superceded by a 'second' edition by Dr.G. Tchobanoglous (chew-ban-oh-gloss) that split the text into two volumes, one on sewage collection, and the other on treatment and re-use. There is now an even newer 'second' edition of the treatment volume, but the 'first' edition of the collection volume remains current. Note that this classic contains design information on older technologies (e.g. Imhoff tanks) that was omitted in the later additions, but are still quite useful to have for designing systems in less developed situations. My dad gave away his copy and I have missed it ever since. ... Read more

Product Description
In this rich ethnographic study, Kelly D. Alley sheds light on debates about water uses, wastewater management, and the meanings of waste and sacred power. On the Banks of the Ganga analyzes the human predicaments that result from the accumulation and disposal of waste by tracing how citizens of India interpret the impact of wastewater flows on a sacred river and on their own cultural practices.
Alley investigates ethno-semantic, discursive, and institutional data to flesh out the interplay between religious, scientific, and official discourses about the river Ganga. Using a new outward layering methodology, she points out that anthropological analysis must separate the historical and discursive strands of the debates concerning waste and sacred purity in order to reveal the cultural complexities that surround the Ganga. Ultimately, she addresses a deeply rooted cultural paradox: if the Ganga river is considered sacred by Hindus across India, then why do the people allow it to become polluted?
Examining areas of contemporary concern such as water usage and urban waste management in the most populated river basin in the world, this book will appeal to anthropologists and readers in religious, environmental, and Asian studies, as well as geography and law.
Kelly D. Alley is Associate Professor and Director of Anthropology at Auburn University. In addition to being a prolific writer, she has conducted research on public culture and environmental issues in northern India for over a decade. Alley is currently overseeing a project to ameliorate river pollution problems in India.

Pedantic and Worthless Discourse on the Ganga River Pollution Issue
Alley's book is incredibly pedantic and manages to say very little on the subject of the Ganga River pollution in 240 pages. I had to read the book for a cultural anthropology course and the only reason that I finished the book was because it was required for the course. As a consequence of having finished the book, I can officially say that it is the worst book that I have ever read. She is addicted to terms such as polyvalency and discourse, which she uses to such an extent that any meanings that they have become jaded. She also mentions on too many accounts that she is exploring ground breaking territory regarding how certain cultural groups interact with the environment, which is not true at all. Her thrasonical personal interjections certainly do not add anything positive to an already pompous book. It is surprising to me that an issue that is so central to people's lives is described from such an inaccessible and overly academic perspective in this book.
To be more straightforward myself and to put the big words aside, this book suggests absolutely NOTHING to solve the cultural communication problems that are related to the Ganga River. Alley thinks she has done so much for society by pointing out the problems, and leaves it to someone else to fix. After having to write a paper on how I think the Ganga and its dependents should interact, "On the Banks of the Ganga" provided me with very little supporting quotes or ideas.
My professor stated that there are great books out there on this issue. Unfortunately, she obviously didn't assign one of those books for us to read.

A thoughtful and eye-opening analysis
Recognizing that anthropologists have not paid adequate attention to ecological concerns within their geographic areas of study, Alley sets out to analyze how ideas of material pollution and spiritual purity figure into environmental, political, and religious discourses around the Ganga. Overall, I found this book to be extremely insightful and full of relevant data and analysis, though the end of my review will focus on a few criticisms I have as well.

The study begins by attempting to deconstruct the conflation of the terms commonly used in studies of environmental pollution and the Ganga.Scholars and laymen alike, whether intentionally or not, often use terms such as clean and unclean, pure and impure, interchangeably.However, these terms contain drastically different meanings, depending on the context in which they are used.In this study, it is important to note that terms of cleanness and uncleanness refer to MATERIAL pollution of the Ganga (industrial effluents, fecal matter, animal and human corpses), and the notions of purity and impurity carry specifically SPIRITUAL connotations. The overarching view is that, while Ganga may be materially unclean, she can never be considered impure.By breaking down these terms and how they are used by practitioners, priests, and politicians, Alley aims to provide a culturally sensitive account ('emic' analysis) rather than one simply based upon the observer's impressions and biases ('etic' analysis).

The author notes that this distinction between uncleanness and impurity is perhaps one of the primary factors hindering a massive push for cleaning up the Ganga.Since time immemorial, Ganga has been accepting, purifying, and washing away the "pollution of sin," so how could anyone think that there is an "upper limit" to her ability to purify?This notion is held by innumerable Hindus who perform rituals on the banks of the Ganga, as well as priests overseeing rituals, and even some industrialists and politicians.In fact, Alley does a particularly good job in showing how Hindu notions of broader societal relations influence conduct (or lack of action) around the Ganga.Just as a mother may be temporarily unclean (after, say, cleaning up her child's waste or handling her husband's dirty laundry), she is never impure; she is always giving, always purifying.At the same time, the author points to the notion of a mother's duty to provide for the family and not receive anything in return, and suggests that this may be another reason why some people feel a certain detachment from any responsibility to observe hygienic practices around the Ganga, and why so few politicians have acted to clean the Ganga.While I am not sure of its accuracy, it is certainly an interesting suggestion.

Alley gives chapter-length analysis to issues such as how colonial discourses affected Hindus' notions of purity and pollution in the river, the "labyrinthine" nature of institutions responsible for wastewater management in and around the Ganga, and the emergence of judicial activism in issues of environmental pollution.Regarding the latter two, Alley gives much attention to industrial pollution caused by leather tanneries, chemical plants, paper production factories and many other industries along the Ganga.She notes that, given the confusion over which institution of wastewater management is responsible for what, very little has been done politically to stop industrial pollution of the Ganga.This, in turn, has led to increased judicial activism, and courts have since the 1990s closed several hundred industrial factories that were dumping waste into the Ganga.Yet, the overarching focus on industrial pollution puzzles me a bit.

Early in the book Alley notes that, in 1995 India's Central Pollution Control Board estimated that 75% of the river's pollution is from untreated municipal sewage, and 88% of this is from Class I cities (cities with populations over 100,000, of which there are 29 along the Ganges).While many of these are industrial centers which contribute industrial effluents, I am wondering if the author would have been better off focusing more on issues of infrastructural development vis-à-vis sewage treatment and less on industrial pollution.She does note in chapter 8 that there are technological problems with the drains that are supposed to bring sewage to treatment plants.For instance, most of these pumping systems are run by electricity.If there is a power cut, sewage backs up in the pipes creating pressurized noxious gases which eventually cause pipes to burst and sewage spills into the river.Additionally, when the monsoons come, the drainage ditches designed to carry waste along the river flood, and the waste is then diverted into the river so it doesn't spill over into residential areas.However, these issues are given comparatively short treatment, and the larger focus is on industrial pollution and institutional shortcomings.

Additionally, the author seems to give undue focus to pollution caused by ritual practitioners along the Ganga.While there are legal restrictions on what can be done (e.g. don't use soap in the river, don't go to the bathroom in the river, don't do your laundry in the river), neither police nor priests are doing anything to enforce hygienic practices along the river.This leads the author to take many of the priests to task.She asserts that because their business would be hurt if a mass consciousness developed about the pollution in the Ganga, priests do not use their influence to encourage better practices along the river.Some of the priests the author spoke with said they won't even bathe in the Ganga!Alley even says they try to hide where industrial pollutants are entering the river, and won't say a word if they see someone drinking from Ganga directly next to a drainage pipe releasing industrial effluents.But this part of the analysis comes off as unusually pessimistic and polemical when compared to the rest of the book, and seems to be a decidedly `etic,' and not `emic,' form of anthropological analysis.

Having leveled these brief criticisms, I will say that--regardless of whether or not the right issues were focused on in correct proportions--by laying out all of the factors which contribute to the Ganga's pollution, Kelly Alley has done a fantastic job in elucidating the environmental issues surrounding the Ganga.One comes to understand that municipal sewage infrastructures, industrial malpractices, institutional setups, and ritual performance all affect the environmental state of the Ganga, and that politicians, industrialists, priests and practitioners all have roles to play in her cleanup.In contradiction to a previous reviewer, the author does talk (albeit briefly) about grass-roots attempts to increase the saliency of environmental concerns (See chapter 9 discussions about Sankat Mochan Foundation and Eco-Friends).I think it quite unfair to accuse Alley of holding orientalist biases or neo-imperialist designs.While she may not place much focus on grass-roots organizations, she provides in-depth analysis of the reasons WHY such groups will have such a difficult time setting the agenda for Ganga's cleanup.As India's population continues to grow, the growing number of, and population growth within, major cities along the Ganga will only make it even more important to understand and cope with environmental pollution in and along the river, and Alley does a wonderful job bringing the serious nature of this problem to light.

Colonial agenda and biases...
Chapter 6 of this book mentions that British authorities in colonial times criticized Hindus for their superstitions which lead to pollution in Ganga. And yet throughout the book Ms Kelley D. Alley has done precisely the same what British did. The book severely lacks the balanced outlook. How Hindu leaders have utlized Hinduism to save the ecology.

Another, major drawback of the book is it fails to give a picture of how much pollution is actually done by industries around Ganga, which have nothing to do with Hindu beliefs.

A better approach would have been a balanced perspective showing how industries are polluting Ganga in a major way (and Hindu immersions in a minor way). And yet Hindu leaders such as Veer Bhadra Mishra, are one of the Hindu voices who are working hard to save Ganga. ... Read more

A Great Introduction to What's Possible
The development of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) over the past few years has been one of the triumphs brought about by more powerful computer hardware, software and big hard drives. Conceptually GIS came about in the 1960 with the ideal of co-registered overlays of what's underground. One layer (or more likely three) covers water (clean, waste, storm), one set covers wiring (power, telephone, cable TV), other layers cover steam, subways, gas distribution, or whatever.

The 1990's saw the more powerful systems being combined with more advanced GIS software that was significantly easier to use. Finally GIS has reached the point where its use in smaller towns, smaller systems is not only practical but almost mandatory.

This book, as the title says, specializes in GIS for Water. It's written about water, for water oriented workers. It uses terminology that is familiar and concentrates on software that is specialized for water use.

This comprehensive text provides the reader with both a detailed reference and a unified course on wastewater treatment. Aimed at scientists and engineers, it deals with the environmental and biological aspects of wastewater treatment and sludge disposal.

The book starts by examining the nature of wastewaters and how they are oxidized in the natural environment. An introductory chapter deals with wastewater treatment systems and examines how natural principles have been harnessed by man to treat his own waste in specialist reactors. The role of organisms is considered by looking at kinetics, metabolism and the different types of micro-organisms involved. All the major biological process groups are examined in detail, in highly referenced chapters; they include fixed film reactors, activated sludge, stabilization ponds, anaerobic systems and vegetative processes. Sludge treatment and disposal is examined with particular reference to the environmental problems associated with the various disposal routes. A comprehensive chapter on public health looks at the important waterborne organisms associated with disease, as well as removal processes within treatment systems. Biotechnology has had an enormous impact on wastewater treatment at every level, and this is explored in terms of resource reuse, biological conversion processes and environmental protection. Finally, there is a short concluding chapter that looks at the sustainability of waste water treatment. The text is fully illustrated and supported by over 3000 references. ... Read more

Product Description
Industrial pollution is still a major concern and despite its significance, sound and systematic pollution control efforts are very poorly documented. The character and treatability of industrial wastewaters is highly variable and specific for each industrial activity. Biological treatment with activated sludge is the appropriate technology for industrial wastewaters from several major industrial sectors. Industrial Wastewater Treatment by Activated Sludge deals with the activated sludge treatment of industrial wastewaters by considering conceptual frameworks, methodologies and case studies, in a stepwise manner. The issues related to activated sludge treatment, such as biodegradability based characterization, modeling, assessment of stoichiometric and kinetic parameters and design, as well as the issues of industrial pollution control, e.g. in-plant control, effect of pretreatment, etc. are combined in a way to provide a comprehensive and information-rich view to the reader. By doing so, the book supplies an up-to-date reference for industrial wastewater experts and both graduate and undergraduate students.Industrial Wastewater Treatment by Activated Sludge provides a roadmap, describing the methodologies for the treatment of industrial wastewaters from several major sectors, based on a solid theoretical background. Up to now although valuable separate efforts both on activated sludge and industrial wastewater treatment have been presented, an integrated approach that is crucial to practice has not been available. This gap is filled by this book. ... Read more
