About Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineering examines water supply, water quality, treatment processes, wastewater collection and treatment, solid waste management, air pollution and public health protection. It covers sedimentation, coagulation, filtration, disinfection, biological treatment and disposal methods, while distinguishing drinking-water treatment from sewage treatment and BOD from COD.
