Description
The environmental nightmare of monumental oil spills in the Persian Gulf make publication of this new edition especially timely. Numerous revisions by this well-known consultant and author on water pollution bring this popular title in line with current trends and needs relevant to pollution of streams, lakes, estuaries, and oceans. State stream water quality standards have been updated, with the latest legislation and EPA standards clearly explained. New information has been added on beach pollution, as well as viruses and their occurrence and passage through polluted water. Expanded coverage of stream pollution models such as the automated Calibration Knowledge Engineering System (KES) helps users assess water quality more efficiently. Ready-to-use mathematical and computer models, cleaning and disposal methods, and other guidelines offer additional on-the-job help. This book should be of interest to environmental, civil and chemical engineers.
