Estuarine Water Quality Management, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1990 Monitoring, Modelling and Research Coastal and Estuarine Studies Series, Vol. 36
Langue : Anglais
Coordonnateur : Michaelis Wilfried
All over the world, the awareness of the increasing pollution of rivers, estuaries and the sea with its associated impact on these ecosystems, its effect on organisms, food-chains, water supply and finally on man himself is growing. Estuaries form a link between the limnetic and marine environments, characterized by a variety of complex processes. Most of these phenomena are not yet sufficiently understood, making efficient water quality management a difficult task. The volume has two main objectives: to present the latest information on current estuarine research and to elaborate fundamentals and criteria for planners and decision-makers in water quality management.
