Introduction to Environmental Engineering, 4/e contains the essential science and engineering principles needed for introductory courses and used as the basis for more advanced courses in environmental engineering. Updated with latest EPA regulations, Davis and Cornwell apply the concepts of sustainability and materials and energy balance as a means of understanding and solving environmental engineering issues. With 650 end-of-chapter problems, as well as provocative discussion questions, and a helpful list of review items found at the end of each chapter, the text is both a comprehensible and comprehensive tool for any environmental engineering course. Standards and Laws are the most current and up-to-date for an environmental engineering text.
Read as baseline preparation for the PE Environmental exam. I haven't taken the exam yet, but based on the myriad practice problems I've worked on since completing this book, this text will get you close to the finish line of understanding most exam concepts. Many of the problems at the end of each chapter are equal in difficulty, and often harder, than the practice exam questions I've worked. However, it contains no information regarding flows in pipes and open channels - you'll have to find a supplemental source for that.
