Statistics for Environmental Engineers is a solution-oriented book that encourages environmental engineers to view statistics as a problem-solving tool. It presents a completely new approach to the practical use of statistics in environmental science and engineering. You will learn about extracting information from data and using efficient experimental designs to generate informative data. Written in an easy-to-understand style, Statistics for Environmental Engineers consists of more than 40 short chapters, each dealing with a particular environmental problem or statistical technique. Each chapter is organized around a specific case study, beginning with a brief discussion of the appropriate methodology, followed by an analysis of the case study example, and ending with a comment on the strengths and weaknesses of the approach. This one-of-a-kind book belongs in the personal library of every environmental scientist and engineer and in the classroom as a perfect textbook for students. Whether the topic is displaying data, t-tests, confidence intervals, regression, or experimental design, the context is always environmentally familiar. Case studies are drawn from censored data, detection limits, regulatory standards, treatment plant performance, sampling and measurement errors, hazardous waste, and much more.

Review

"The book is well written, easy to read, and interesting, which is no small feat considering the subject matter. The authors have taken considerable steps to make this textbook user-friendly to their intended audience, environmental engineers. The authors, both recognized experts in civil and sanitary engineering, provide data and problems in each chapter that use relevant and realistic examples to teach the concepts of each chapter. [U]seful and well written [the book] contains exercises based on the types of real-world problems that environmental engineers face on a daily basis." - Environmental Practice, Vol. 6, No. 4, Dec. 2004 About the first edition: ..."a valuable addition to any environmental engineer's library." -Technometrics
