Color and Clarity of Natural Waters introduces the basic concepts
of aquatic optics and explains the relationships of different
optical characteristics to the composition of the water and color
and clarity phenomena. This scientific understanding is the basis
for management of the optical quality of waters. The practical
management of color and clarity of natural waters is covered in
depth with guidelines for the protection of optical water quality.
Case studies illustrate concepts and management principles with
practical examples such as the effects of waste discharge and of
phytoplankton growth. The authors look to the future of optical
water quality, identifying research needs in aquatic optics as
applied to the practical problems of water management. Appendices
define quantities, give measurement "recipes" and worked examples
to help the reader in the practical management of optical water
quality. Originally published in 1993, Color and Clarity of Natural
Waters will be of interest to water quality professionals, water
resource engineers and managers, government agencies, aquatic
biologists, ecologists and students in environmental management and
water and wastewater courses. R. J. (Rob) Davies-Colley is a
Principal Scientist leading a group of researchers in the field of
aquatic pollution at the National Institute of Water and
Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in Hamilton, New Zealand. He has been a
researcher in water quality and related fields at NIWA since 1977.
He has lead various projects in the field of optical water quality
and is the author of more than 70 refereed scientific papers in
diverse areas of riparian ecology and water quality. W. N. (Bill)
Vant is a senior water quality manager with Environment Waikato (a
regional government body charged with environmental management) in
Hamilton, New Zealand. He was a researcher with NIWA from 1980 to
1997. His scientific contributions include identification of
research needs for lake management and research on estuarine water
quality. D. G. (Dave) Smith is a deputy chief director with the New
York Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Water
Supply, Valhalla, New York and has responsibility for water quality
investigations to ensure suitabilty and safety of supply waters. He
worked as a scientist at NIWA from 1986 to 1996 with research
contributions in the areas of water quality management and human
perception of natural waters.
