Synopsis

Sanitation Engineering provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific, technical, and practical aspects of sanitation systems, essential to protecting public health and environmental quality. The book discusses the planning, design, operation, and maintenance of sanitation infrastructure, including water supply protection, wastewater collection and treatment, sewerage systems, faecal sludge management, solid waste handling, stormwater drainage, and hygiene-related engineering solutions. With an emphasis on both conventional and sustainable approaches, the book highlights modern practices such as decentralised wastewater treatment, resource recovery, the reuse of treated wastewater, and environmentally responsible waste management. It connects core engineering principles to field-level applications, making the content relevant to both academic learning and professional practice. The book is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil engineering, environmental engineering, public health engineering, and related disciplines. It will also serve as a useful reference for teachers, researchers, sanitation planners, municipal engineers, consultants, and professionals involved in urban and rural infrastructure development.
