Computer Modeling Applications for Environmental Engineers

The first edition covers a large span of modeling applications in environmental engineering. Technical changes and developments in problem solving issues and computer programming techniques dictate the revision of the first edition. This second edition will incorporate changes, introduce new concepts and cope with engineering developments. It will use Visual Basic.Net as the programming language. All chapters of the book will be revised and updated and a fifth section will be added to address solid waste engineering and management. The book is intended as a complementary guide to basic principles of environmental engineering and as a standalone problem-solving text with real work examples.
