About the Book

This new edition of The Drinking Water Handbook is thoroughly revised and updated and includes a comprehensive discussion of "forever chemicals," as well as the herbicide atrazine in drinking water. It presents the latest coverage of contaminants in water, such as personal care products and pharmaceuticals (PCPPs) and endocrine disruptors, and examines the security requirements for waterworks and ancillary procedures. It examines the process of producing drinking water— from sources of water, to the purification process, through distribution systems to the tap, and then to the actual use and reuse of water. It also presents the latest advancements in treatment technologies and reviews new laws and regulations related to drinking water as well. Thoroughly revised and updated, including a comprehensive discussion of the Flint, Michigan, lead contamination event. Offers a systematic, easy-to-understand explanation of the many processes employed to make water safe to drink. Examines what is being done to mitigate growing concerns about disinfection by-products and PPCPs in water. Provides coverage of individual contaminants found in water. Investigates the physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters that must be modified to produce potable water.

Dr. Spellman receives frequent requests to co-author with well-recognized experts in several scientific fields; for example, he is a contributing author of the prestigious text The Engineering Handbook, 2nd edition. (CRC Press). Dr. Spellman lectures on wastewater treatment, water treatment, homeland security, and safety topics throughout the country and teaches short water/wastewater operator courses at Virginia Tech (Blacksburg, Virginia). In 2011–2012, he traced and documented the ancient water distribution system at Machu Picchu, Peru, and surveyed several drinking water resources in Amazonia-Coco, Ecuador. He continues to collect and analyze contaminated sediments in the major river systems in the world. Dr. Spellman also studied and surveyed two separate potable water supplies in the Galapagos Islands; in addition, he studied and researched Darwin’s finches while in the Galapagos.
