The study of water quality draws information from a variety of disciplines including chemistry, biology, mathematics, physics, engineering, and resource management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversity training in water quality is often limited to specialized courses in engineering, ecology, and fisheries curricula. This book also offers a basic understanding of water quality to professionals who are not formally trained in the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe revised third edition updates and expands the discussion, and incorporates additional figures and illustrative problems. Improvements include a new chapter on basic chemistry, a more comprehensive chapter on hydrology, and an updated chapter on regulations and standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it employs only first-year college-level chemistry and very basic physics, the book is well-suited as the foundation for a general introductory course in water quality.
