5 Wet Weather Design and Operation in Water Resource
Recovery Facilities. Water Environment Federation
(2014), 601 Wythe Street, Alexandria, VA 22314, USA,
306 pp., $130, softcover, ISBN: 978-1-57278-304-1.
This special publication was prepared by the Wet Weather Design and Operation in
Water Resource Recovery Facilities Task Force of the Water Environment Federation (WEF) and the WEF Technical Practice Committee Control Group [5].
Forty-three experts on wet weather facility design and operation contributed
16 chapters covering design considerations, integrated systems approach for design
and operation, site selection and facility arrangement, facility hydraulics and
pumping, support systems, occupational health and safety, modeling for wet
weather, on-site storage and flow equalization, preliminary treatment, primary treatment, biological treatment, high-rate treatment, disinfection, and residuals. All
chapters are grouped around planning and configuration for wet weather events
and facility processes.
Both US customary units and metric units are used side-by-side—except in the
figures. The text presentation style is consistent throughout the entire book. Every
chapter has a list of updated references and/or suggested readings. The book also
presents many useful planning examples or case studies for wet weather facility
design and operation.
Overall, this is a five-star book, which provides professionals involved in the
design and operation of water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) with a comprehensive reference of modern practices for dealing with the unique challenges
associated with wet weather conditions. For detailed design calculations, the book
refers readers to another book, Design of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants
(WEF MOP No. 8). For additional planning reference, readers are referred to a
guidebook, Guide for Municipal Wet Weather Strategies.
