Natural Groundwater Quality (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This text presents a series of thematic chapters together with chapters on representative groundwater systems in Europe which illustrate the main processes and evolution of water quality. * * Brings together the research of a consortium of leading European scientists who have conducted detailed studies of water quality in Europe * Includes a synthesis of findings, highlighting the thematic and regional results, with recommendations regarding aquifer evaluation, indicators, monitoring, and drinking water standards * Creates a key reference work on natural water quality of aquifers, at a time when the Groundwater Directive (GD) will shortly be brought in to supplement The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) to ensure good status of groundwater

Rezensionen

"This book is a well-written explanation of the natural groundwaterquality of European aquifers. These studies will serve as a goodreference for researchers, agencies, and professional organizationsin carrying out the European Groundwater Directive and forresearching other European aquifers that have not been welldocumented." (Carbonates Evaporites, 2010)

"This is a well-produced book with many detailed, clear figures.It will serve its purpose well - of informing WFD assessments ofnatural background quality." (Geoscientist, 1 December 2010)

"This text is the result of these important studies andconstitutes a key reference on natural water quality ofacquifiers." (Journal of the American Water ResourcesAssociation, December 2008)

"The book would be a very good introduction for scientistsdesiring to learn more about this area of inquiry ... .The bookalso would be useful for someone interested in learning more aboutthe major aquifiers of Europe." (Ground Water,November/December 2008)
