The volume is written as a scholarly text to demonstrate that women compete successfully in the field, dating back to 1873. Each authors’ chapter includes a section on her contribution to the field and a biography written for a general audience. This volume also includes a significant representation of early women’s contributions, highlighting their rich history in the profession. The book covers topics such as drinking water and health, biologically-active compounds, wastewater management, and biofilms. This volume should be of interest to academics, researchers, consulting engineering offices, and engineering societies while also inspiring young women to persist in STEM studies and aspire to academic careers. Features a blend of innovations and contributions made by women in water quality engineering, as well as their path to success, including challenges in their journeys Presents an opportunity to learn about the breadth and depth of the field of water quality Includes a history of women in water quality engineering as well as research in current issues such as urban water quality, biologically-active compounds, and biofilms.Women in Engineering and Science,2509-6427Fluid mechanicsWater pollutionEnvironmental sciencesEngineering geologyEngineering—GeologyFoundationsHydraulicsWater qualityWomenEngineering Fluid Dynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15044Waste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollutionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35040Environmental Science and Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37000Geoengineering, Foundations, Hydraulicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23020Water Quality/Water Pollutionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/212000Women's Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35040Fluid mechanics.Water pollution.Environmental sciences.Engineering geology.Engineering—Geology.Foundations.Hydraulics.Water quality.Women.Engineering Fluid Dynamics.Waste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.Environmental Science and Engineering.Geoengineering, Foundations, Hydraulics.Water Quality/Water Pollution.Women's Studies.620.1064628.161O’Bannon Deborah Jeanedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910366586903321Women in Water Quality2280487UNINA
