With a clear, user-friendly presentation of complex subject matter, the book teaches operators, laboratory technicians, and engineers the critical roles of microscopic and macroscopic organisms that live in and around lagoons. Next, the book provides biological and chemical approaches to understanding facultative lagoons and includes presentations on algae, archaea, bacteria, crustaceans, duckweed, aquatic and immature insects, grasses, rotifers, watermeal, weeds, worms, and burrowing animals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Biology and Troubleshooting of Facultative Lagoons \u003c\/i\u003e features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eShort-course situations tested by the author for the past twenty years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEssential information for understanding biological conditions such as Lower Life Forms; Algae; Higher Life Forms; Plants; Large Aquatic and Terrestrial Animals; Sludge and Odors; and Monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eDevoid of overwhelming scientific jargon, chemical equations, and kinetics, this book simplifies details to provide quick instruction for plant operators and technicians and provide necessary information for understanding and treatment of domestic, municipal, and industrial wastewaters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael H.
