The practice-oriented guide is a unique tool for identifying and evaluating local and regional environmental hazards from water pollution. Both groundwater, riverine water, and (coastal) seawater pollution is covered, including several case studies, complete with real-life data and a thorough evaluation using the methods described in the book.
