To the best of my knowlwdge and understanding, the soft copy was mailed only to the members of the editorial committe who helped edit the methods, ,or updated a chapter altogether.
One can, however, browse a chapter on line by accessing and searching for the book.
e.g.,
Standard Methods | American Water Works Association https://www.awwa.org › Publications › Standard-Methods📷Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 24th Edition, is a joint publication of the American Water Works Association (AWWA),
I got a complimentary electronic copy, because I edited a number of methods in different chapters as a member of the editorial board of said compendium.
Regards to you all and best of the Holiday season.
I cannot share because (i) I have to have a permission from the people at the AWWA for whom I edited the methods/chapters, (ii) My copy is on a thumb drive. I can perhaps share specific editorial comments I made, if the editorial board allows me. I will HAVE TO SEEK THAT PERMISSION BEFORE GIVING AN AFFIRMATIVE ANSWER.
I am sure, you can see/consult a copy at your institution's Library, or as an Inter-library Loan from a library of many of the environmental institutions of , e.g., CSIR.
I do not understand this answer. Please be more clear and specific.
If you are interested to consult the 24th edition of Standard Methods for the examination of water and wastewater, please go to the AWWA site and find which libraries have it available. Then you can request from the library, or through your institution's library an interlibrary loan.
