Water Quality Monitoring - A Practical Guide to the Design and Implementation of Freshwater Quality Studies and Monitoring Programmes (Hardcover)

Freshwater is a finite resource as essential to agriculture and industry as it is to basic human existence. Water quality monitoring is a fundamental tool in the management of freshwater resources, and this book explores the monitoring operation. The book highlights the impact of human activity on water resources - both surface and groundwater; provides a general protocol for the design and implementation of a monitoring programme; provides detailed sampling and analytical methods; and explains the detection and monitoring of trends in the water environment. The book provides a basis for designing and implementing water quality monitoring programmes and studies of the impact of human activities on water bodies. It brings together information on proven methods and thus should be useful for anyone concerned with water quality monitoring a scientific, managerial or engineering background, including field staff. An overview of the principles underlying hydrological, chemical, biological and sediment measurements together with their importance and relevance to water quality monitoring is also included.
