Advanced Methods for Groundwater Pollution Control

In recent years, the analysis, control, preservation, remediation and correct management of underground resources have received growing attention in a variety of sectors, including industrial, professional and academic environments. This volume describes new developments in both applied research and design technology to maintain sustainability of a vital resource - groundwater - which is continuously threatened by contamination resulting from solid waste disposal operations, site re-utilization, intensive extraction, accidental leakage of spill in working installations and non-point source pollution in agriculture. The book is intended for managers, professionals and researchers working in any of the areas concerned with the control, prediction and remediation of soil and groundwater contamination.
