Taylor and Francis Groundwater and Surface Water Pollution

By first establishing the qualitative and quantitative properties of groundwater, this handbook explains the interaction between groundwater and contaminant and explores how this defines the contaminant's fate. A survey of up-to-date technologies for cleanup and remediation is included, as well as a step-by-step guide to pollution assessment for both the initial and subsurface sites. The final sections reach beyond simplistic hydrological cycles usually addressed to the complexities encountered by rapidly-changing land-use patterns. Groundwater and Surface Water Pollution contains the technical know-how needed to control groundwater pollution and manage storm water pollutants. TOC:Principles of Groundwater Flow. Hydraulics of Wells. Principles of Groundwater Contamination. Groundwater Investigation and Monitoring. Groundwater Cleanup and Remediation. Storm Water Pollutant Management.
