3rd World Water Congress: Biological Treatment Processes: Selected Proceedings of the 3rd World Water Congress of the International Water Association, Held in Melbourne, Australia, 7-12 April 2002

The 3rd World Water Congress, the first to be held in the southern hemisphere, was structured with a wide-ranging and high-quality programme, with around 900 presentations in plenary, platform, poster and workshop sessions. The full spectrum of the global community of water professionals was represented in this unparalleled opportunity to address the key challenges in water and sanitation and to report advances in water and environmental management. Over 650 papers have subsequently been peer-reviewed for publication and this issue comprises 42 papers selected on aspects of biological treatment processes for wastewater. Topics covered include nutrient removal, biofilm processes, activated sludge systems, and aeration in wastewater treatment plants. With articles by some of the world's leading experts, highlighting new research and practical applications in municipal and industrial treatment, these proceedings are an essential compilation of the latest developments in the treatment of wastewaters using biological processes.
