While tremendous progress has been made in remediating sites that have been contaminated by chlorinated solvents, stabilizers that were added to chlorinated solvents in order to improve their performance have been overlooked. This book is the first to focus on the little-known contaminant 1,4-Dioxan..

The loss of water from lakes, rivers, oceans, vegetation, and the earth, as well as man-made structures such as reservoirs and irrigation conduits, is a major concern of hydrologists and irrigation specialists...

The thesis contributes to performance data and getting a better mechanistic understanding about the factors influencing the performance of horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland treating real domestic wastewater under tropical conditions. Two days hydraulic retention time was found optimum f..

This study investigates the generation, transport and fate of sanitation-related nutrients in groundwater and surface water in an urban slum area in sub-Saharan Africa. In excess, nutrients can cause eutrophication of downstream water bodies. The study argues that nitrogen-containing rain and domest..

Revised and updated, this second edition includes new coverage of aquifers, US federal regulations, groundwater quality, and history of hydrogeology, and offers new international case studies.
