Agriculture, Hydrology and Water Quality
by
P. Haygarth (Editor); S. Jarvis (Editor)
Call Number: Ebbok
ISBN: 9780851995458
Publication Date: 2002-12-19
This book is a collection of state-of-the-art reviews on the global problems of diffuse water pollution from agriculture, which affects the water quality of rivers, lakes, reservoirs and the oceans. It includes chapters on eutrophication, phosphorus, nitrogen, manure, heavy metals, carbon/persistent organic pollutants and soil/siltation problems. The book is broken down into three parts and reflects the opinions of the world's experts in these subjects.
Aquatic Pollution: An Introductory Text
by
Edward A. Laws
Call Number: Ebook
ISBN: 9781119304500
Publication Date: 2017-04-24
This comprehensive introductory text presents a systematic study of pollution in oceans, lakes, streams, and underground aquifers. In a clear, straightforward style that is easily accessible to nonscientists, it describes the sources, features, and effects of thirteen different types of aquatic pollution.
Diffuse Pollution, Degraded Waters: Emerging Policy Solutions
by
Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD)
Call Number: Ebook
ISBN: 9781780408781
Publication Date: 2017-06-15
After decades of regulation and investment to reduce point source water pollution, OECD countries still face water quality challenges (e.g. eutrophication) from diffuse agricultural and urban sources of pollution, that is disperse pollution from surface runoff, soil filtration and atmospheric deposition. The relative lack of progress reflects the complexities of controlling multiple pollutants from multiple sources, their high spatial and temporal variability, associated transactions costs, and limited political acceptability of regulatory measures. This report outlines the water quality challenges facing OECD countries today, presents a range of policy instruments and innovative case studies of diffuse pollution control, and concludes with an integrated policy framework to tackle diffuse water pollution.
The Environmental Science of Drinking Water
by
Patrick Sullivan; Franklin J. Agardy; James J. J. Clark
Call Number: Ebook
ISBN: 9780750678766
Publication Date: 2005-08-01
Environmental Science of Drinking Water demonstrates why we need to make a fundamental change in our approach toward protecting our drinking water. Factual and circumstantial evidence showing the failure of current drinking water standards to adequately protect human health is presented along with analysis of the extent of pollution in our water resources and drinking water. The authors also present detail of the currently available state-of-the-art technologies which, if fully employed, can move us toward a healthier future.

Marine Coastal and Water Pollutions: Oil Spill Studies
by
édéric Muttin (Editor)
Call Number: Ebook
ISBN: 9781848216921
Publication Date: 2014-09-29
Identifying efficient solutions to protect coastal regions from marine pollution requires expertise from a range of specialties and strategic approaches. This book gathers information on the impact of oil spills at a coastal level from different experts' points of view, identifying synergies between domains such as mathematics, numerical modeling, mechanics, biology, economics and law.
Microplastics in Water and Wastewater
by
Hrissi Karapanagioti (Editor); Ioannis K. Kalavrouziotis (Editor)
Call Number: Ebook
ISBN: 9781789060027
Publication Date: 2019-09-15
Covers the topic of microplastics in water and wastewater. The chapters start with introductory issues related to the growing interest in the scientific community on microplastics and the human water cycle and point out where the microplastics could interact with water. The subsequent chapters examine evidence of the microplastic presence in freshwater, such as in both rivers and lakes, in freshwater biota, and hazardous chemicals associated with microplastics in such systems.
Organic Compounds in Natural Waters: Analysis and Determination
by
T. Roy Crompton
Call Number: Ebook
ISBN: 9780415644280
Publication Date: 2013-09-23
Organic Compounds in Natural Waters provides a comprehensive description of organic substances in waters. Methods are provided in broad outline, with guidance on their applicability, their comparative advantages and disadvantages, possible interferences, sensitivity and detection levels. The book is an essential reference for analytical chemists working in industry, water utilities, government, non government organisations and regulatory agencies and environmental/analytical consultants.
Overland Flow and Surface Runoff
by
Tommy S. W. Wong
Call Number: Ebook
ISBN: 9781611228687
Publication Date: 2011-11-01
Among all the phases of the hydrological cycle, overland flow and surface run-off have the most intimate interaction with human beings as they co-exist in space and time. This book contains eleven chapters covering a wide range of topics on overland flow and surface runoff, which are of value of researchers and practising engineers.
Pharmaceutical Residues in Freshwater: Hazards and Policy Responses
by
Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD)
Call Number: Ebook
ISBN: 9781789061819
Publication Date: 2020-07-15
This report calls for a better understanding of the effects of pharmaceutical residues in the environment, greater international collaboration and accountability distribution, and policy actions to prevent and remedy emerging concerns. Laboratory and field tests show traces of oral contraceptives causing the feminisation of fish and amphibians, and residues of psychiatric drugs altering fish behaviour. Antimicrobial resistance, linked to the overuse of antibiotics, has rapidly escalated into a global health crisis.

Practical Methods for Water and Air Pollution Monitoring
by
S. K. Bhargava
Call Number: Ebook
ISBN: 9788122429213
Publication Date: 2008
Degrading quality of environment due to increasing industrialization and urbanization has become a matter of great concern. The information about the parameters affecting their quality is the prime requirement to meet the menace.
This book "Practical Methods for Water and Air Pollution Monitoring" brings together the various experimental methods for analyzing the available parameters. It studies various parameters of sampling and analysis of water, and describes theories of different techniques used for water analysis and air monitoring.
Sustainable Water Management in Urban Environments
by
Tamim Younos (Editor); Tammy Parece (Editor)
Call Number: Ebook
ISBN: 9783319293356
Publication Date: 2016-05-11
