Description for Contaminated Rivers
Hardback. This book provides an introductory understanding of fluvial geomorphic principles. It examines how these principles can be integrated with geochemical data to cost-effectively characterize, assess and remediate contaminated rivers. Num Pages: 418 pages, 36 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: RBKF. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 23. Weight in Grams: 812.
By the end of the 1960s, it became acutely apparent that major problems existed with the quality of both surface and subsurface waters on a world-wide scale. In response to these discoveries numerous legislative initiatives were enacted in most developed countries to limit the introduction of contaminants to the environment. It quickly became apparent, however, that not only was there a need to reduce the quantity of contaminants introduced to surface and subsurface waters, but previously contaminated resources had to be remediated to reduce the potential risks on human and ecosystem health. Effective remediation proved to be a difficult task ... Read more

Reviews for Contaminated Rivers
"Until the publication of this particular book, environmental geochemists had little insight into river particulate transfers, and few river geomorphologists were taking the contamination of river deposits - which generally does not affect the morphological features - into consideration. Contaminated Rivers aims to fill this gap at a time when remediation of contaminated sites and the understanding of particulate contminants ... Read more
