Features: Considering the recent development of the Water Supply and Drainage Engineering major and the limited class hours for professional foreign language courses, this textbook is designed to broaden readers' knowledge and enhance their reading comprehension skills. It primarily consists of three main parts: Water Transmission and Treatment, Building Water Supply and Drainage, and Pump Station-related content, totaling 26 lessons. In terms of layout, it includes texts, reading materials, vocabulary, and post-lesson short answers. The text language is standardized and easy to understand, while the reading materials (Reading Material) primarily serve as an extension of the texts, featuring articles related to the lessons to deepen readers' comprehensive understanding of these professional theoretical knowledge. In terms of content arrangement, Lessons 1–2 introduce basic knowledge such as water intake, wastewater collection, water transmission, and the water cycle. Lessons 3–19 mainly cover basic theories and applications of water quality and its fundamental testing methods, wastewater treatment, wastewater reuse, basic knowledge of biological sludge treatment, screening, coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, adsorption, chemical oxidation and disinfection, ion exchange, membrane treatment, advanced oxidation, biological treatment of water, sludge treatment and disposal, etc. Lessons 20–24 introduce basic knowledge of indoor cold and hot water supply systems and pipeline maintenance management. Lessons 25–26 cover basic theories of pumps and related knowledge of pump station design. This book covers a broad range of knowledge, including both fundamental theories and certain design and management knowledge, making it suitable for professional English reading for undergraduate and graduate students in Water Supply and Drainage Engineering. It can also serve as a reference book for water supply and drainage engineering technicians, students and technicians in environmental engineering. This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in Water Supply and Drainage Engineering, as well as a reference book for water supply and drainage engineering technicians, students and technicians in environmental engineering.
