"This book entitled Water Management is a compilation work and embodies a fairly comprehensive treatment of the fundamental facts of the subject. Considering a large number of difficulties encountered by most of the students to have a fairly thorough knowledge about waste water for sometime in the past. This book comprised of thirty one chapters discussing in a good style, lucid, readable, learnable manner to obtain and graps the notable and important subject matter which are required by teachers students of undergraduate and postgraduate, researchers, chemists, biochemists pharmacologists and others of subject stream. Book provides the vast knowledge about bacterial standard resource of water, water pollution controls, pollutant, nitrogen fixation, water borne diseases, environmental pollution, health effect etc." (jacket)
