Groundwater Monitoring (Hardcover): P. Quevauviller Groundwater Monitoring (Hardcover)
P. Quevauviller
R3,987 R3,182 Discovery Miles 31 820 Save R805 (20%) Out of stock

Groundwater is sometimes called "the hidden asset" - awareness of its existence and its importance is not well known and as a consequence the measures which are required to protect and manage it in an environmental sustainable way are either not taken or are taken too late. Where pollution has occurred and measures are taken too late it may take decades, or longer, until the necessary restoration of quality is achieved.

This comprehensive text presents in the following sections:

Groundwater monitoring in the regulatory and international contextConceptual modelling and network designGroundwater pollutants and other pressuresGroundwater quality standards and trend assessmentCase studies for groundwater assessment and monitoring in the light of EU legislationGroundwater measurementsAssociating external stakeholders

The editors have collected state-of-the-art information on groundwater quality assessment monitoring from the international community, providing further stimulation to the work of all parties involved in the challenges this area creates to ensure sound quality assessment of groundwater.

Wastewater Quality Monitoring and Treatment (Hardcover): P. Quevauviller Wastewater Quality Monitoring and Treatment (Hardcover)
P. Quevauviller
R5,056 Discovery Miles 50 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The issue of water quality monitoring is becoming a huge area as the EU requirements for cleaner water increase. On-line monitoring involves measuring a body of water constantly and in-situ as opposed to analysing samples in the lab. Currently filling the gap in the market, "Wastewater Quality Monitoring: On-line Methods" provides information on how to produce the best analyses of wastewater in order to meet the above mentioned requirements.

This reference will prove invaluable to all local water companies, industrial companies producing wastewater, as well as environment agencies and researchers.

Analytical Methods for Drinking Water - Advances in Sampling and Analysis (Hardcover): P. Quevauviller Analytical Methods for Drinking Water - Advances in Sampling and Analysis (Hardcover)
P. Quevauviller
R4,360 Discovery Miles 43 600 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Drinking water policies and research are intimately linked. It is thanks to the scientific progress made over the last 25 years in identifying and controlling toxic products in drinking water that regulations have developed in such a way that the protection of public health from waterborne diseases has drastically improved. The integration of research outputs into the policy-making progress requires close cooperation among the scientific and policy communities, which is not always straightforward. Exchanges among scientific and policy-making communities are certainly representing key elements of progress for a better environmental protection. In this respect, analytical developments linked to drinking water are at the core of the science-policy debate.

This book "Analytical Methods for Drinking Water: Advances in Sampling and Analysis" reflects this awareness in joining recent analytical developments with policy considerations. A first chapter gives an overview of EU and US drinking water policies, as well as on standardization. Analytical developments are described in depth in the second chapter, focusing on bromate in drinking water. The third chapter deals with the development of a sampling protocol for lead in drinking water, thus mixing analytical development with standardization needs. Finally, the fourth chapter focuses on standardization aspects (pre-normative research) related to materials in contact with drinking water.

This book, written by experts in the field of drinking water policy and analysis, illustrates recent scientific advances in this area, which have contributed to policy development and will be of direct use to policy-makers, water scientists, researchersand analytical laboratories.

Management of the Effects of Coastal Storms (Hardcover): P. Quevauviller Management of the Effects of Coastal Storms (Hardcover)
P. Quevauviller
R3,706 Discovery Miles 37 060 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A large part of the world s coastlines consists of sandy beaches and dunes that may undergo dramatic changes during storms. Extreme storm events in some cases dominate the erosion history of the coastline and may have dramatic impacts on densely populated coastal areas. Policy, research and historical background are essential elements that need to be interconnected for effective coastal planning and management. This book discusses this framework, with Chapter 1 providing an insight into policy settings and science-policy interactions in the area of coastal risks related to storms and flooding, and integrated coastal zone management. This is followed by a review of the current understanding of the processes generating extreme coastal events, the morphological evolution of coastlines during and after the events, and the methods for monitoring the process as it occurs or for post-event appraisal. The final chapter discusses the importance of historical approaches regarding coastal threats, taking the Xynthia storm as an example.

Quality Assurance for Water Analysis (Hardcover): P. Quevauviller Quality Assurance for Water Analysis (Hardcover)
P. Quevauviller
R5,960 Discovery Miles 59 600 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Overtly exploited, misleadingly abundant and essential to survival, water and its quality remains as one of the most important global resource issues we face today

Water quality is one of the most important global issues which society faces today. Ever increasing pressure on this essential but limited resource is resulting in deterioration in water quality and it is vital that all water quality measurements are carried out using appropriate procedures.

This, the third book in the Water Quality Measurement Series, guides the reader through the complex issues surrounding the generation of "fit-for-purpose" data within known confidence limits. The comprehensive coverage encompasses:

  • data users' requirements

  • sampling plans and protocols

  • analysis and associated quality assurance and quality control

  • production of analysis reports

  • archive storage
This volume brings together all of the key issues associated with quality assurance for water analysis and will be invaluable to all users and producers of water quality data.

Water Quality Measurement Series

This series provides a comprehensive coverage of the analytical techniques used for the measurement of substances in water from sampling through to laboratory analysis. The scope of the series encompasses topical issues including quality assurance, standard procedures, and the best practices in measuring water quality, from surface and drinking water to coastal and wastewater. The techniques will be discussed in relation to current legislation and guidelines.

The series aims to offer workable answers to specific practical issues related to measurements of the water cycle quality, using a comprehensive and scientifically sound approach.

Hydrometeorological Hazards - Interfacing Science and Policy (Hardcover): P. Quevauviller Hydrometeorological Hazards - Interfacing Science and Policy (Hardcover)
P. Quevauviller
R1,901 R1,552 Discovery Miles 15 520 Save R349 (18%) Out of stock

Recent hydrometeorological extreme events have highlighted the increased exposure and vulnerability of societies and the need to strengthen the knowledge-base of related policies. Current research is focused on improving forecasting, prediction and early warning capabilities in order to improve the assessment of vulnerability and risks linked to extreme climatic events. Hydrometeorological Hazards: Interfacing science and policy is the first volume of a series which will gather scientific and policy-related knowledge related to climate-related extreme events. Invited authors are internationally recognized experts in their respective fields. This volume reflects the most recent advances in science and policy within this field and takes a multidisciplinary approach. The book provides the reader with a state-of-the art account on flash floods, droughts, storms, and a comprehensive discussion focused on the cost of natural hazards, resilience and adaptation. This book will be an invaluable reference for advanced undergraduates taking courses with a focus on natural hazards including climate-related extreme events. The book will also be of interest to postgraduates, researchers and policy makers in this field looking for an overview of the subject.

Marine Chemical Monitoring (Hardcover): P. Quevauviller Marine Chemical Monitoring (Hardcover)
