• New! Discussion of the microscope and photomicroscopy
• Expanded! The most up-to-date material on the microorganisms critical to disease
transmission and the treatment of wastewater
• New! Available as an e-book
Table of Contents:
• Chapter 1: Introduction
• Chapter 2: Microorganisms
• Chapter 3: The Microscope
• Chapter 4: Bacteria
• Chapter 5: Protozoa
• Chapter 6: Rotifers
• Chapter 7: Nematodes and Other Metazoa
• Chapter 8: Filamentous Organisms
• Chapter 9: Indicator Bacteria
• Chapter 10: Wastewater Pathogens
• Chapter 11: Wastewater Parasites
• Chapter 23: Photomicroscopy
• Appendix A Test Procedures and Methods
• Glossary
Both Appendix A (Test Procedures and Methods) and Glossary sections are very
useful.
The book has something for all stakeholders involved in wastewater treatment,
including design engineers, microbiologists, facility managers, and operators.
As the world grapples with the challenges of population growth, urbanization,
and water scarcity, the effects will be felt on WRRFs and mostly the microorganisms
that are at the thick of the action. This book will be an ideal reference companion for
WRRF managers and technicians who deal with various operational challenges.

This special publication is a typical example of how a group of water professionals
unselfishly compile their knowledge and experience together for dissemination to
their colleagues [2].
Thirty-five environmental engineers and scientists formed a Grit Sampling and
Characterization Task Force and jointly prepared this special publication. It was
conducted under the leadership of Task Force Chair Kendra Sveum and Vice Chair
