This is the best book i know about wastewater treatment and treatment plant design. I recommend it to bachelor and master students if they want to expand their horizons regarding the wastewater treatment and reuse.
It would take a lot of time to digest but its better to keep it in your library and pull it out whenever you're stuck with a problem. In the nutshell, this books can a real life saver.
