9780367399214: Groundwater and Surface Water Pollution

Synopsis

Groundwater and Surface Water Pollution contains almost all the technical know-how required to clean up our water supply. It provides a survey of up-to-date technologies for remediation, as well as a step-by-step guide to pollution assessment for both ground and surface waters.
The book defines groundwater, aquifers and surface water and discusses the physical properties of soils, liquids, vadose zones and aquifers. It emphasizes controlling nonpoint source pollution, best management practices, and an integrated management approach.
The editors cover not only engineering but also legal, medical, agricultural, meteorological, biological and other fields of study. They reach beyond the simplistic hydrological cycles usually addressed to the complexities encountered by rapidly-changing land-use patterns.
In addition to focusing on causes, effects, and remedies, Groundwater and Surface Water Pollution stresses reuse, recycling, and recovery of resources. Nature does not cause pollution. Through total recycling, we can, like nature, make resources out of wastes.



Béla G. Lipták speaks on Post-Oil Energy Technology on the AT&T Tech Channel.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Groundwater and Surface Water Pollution provides a survey of up-to-date technologies for remediation, as well as a step-by-step guide to pollution assessment for both ground and surface waters. In addition to focusing on causes, effects, and remedies, the book stresses reuse, recycling, and recovery of resources. It includes examples of management cases and the variables concerned and numerous flow equations for convenient field analysis. The book illustrates specific design considerations; addresses soil treatment, pump-and-treat and in situ technologies; and covers the principles of groundwater contamination.
