"Growing Clean Water"
Nature's Solution to Water Pollution
by
B. C. Wolverton, Ph.D.
and
John D. Wolverton
Dr. Wolverton
and his son, John, chronicle the history of the development of phytoremediation techniques
for the treatment of domestic wastewater, industrial wastewater, stormwater and
agricultural operation run-off. This book is written for the general audience in easy to
understand language but is also useful to the engineering community. Its goal is to
educate the reader so that they might approach their municipal officials about available
natural technologies with facts and data in hand. Systems are detailed and data given from
the first aquatic plant wastewater treatment system at NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center
to Wolverton Environmental Services, Inc.'s latest system.
Data is provided within the chapters in easy to understand bar charts. The Appendix
contains technical data for use by engineers, other professionals and students.
Also, included in the Appendix is a sample design sketch for a single home wastewater
treatment system.
This book is must read for those concerned about the environment, those charged with
decision-making in small towns and communities and concerned citizens.
