Proteccion de la Calidad Del Agua Subterranea

This book is also directly available from the publisher Mundi Prensa Libros, S.A. Castello 37 28001 Madrid Spain Groundwater is an essential natural resource for the economic and secure provision of a potable water supply. In the past, aquifers have often been abandoned to chance, and those who rely on them for the provision of potable water supplies have done very little to protect their sources. Therefore, proactive campaigns and practical actions are urgently needed. Groundwater pollution hazard assessments are necessary to provide a clear understanding of the actions required to protect groundwater quality against deterioration. Groundwater Quality Protection stresses that groundwater pollution hazard assessment and protection measures are an essential part of environmental best practice for water supply utilities. This book is organized into two parts. The first part consists of an Executive Overview that focuses on groundwater pollution hazard assessment and the development of groundwater protection strategy. The second part is a Technical Guide which concentrates on the detailed work of mapping, aquifer pollution vulnerability, delineation of groundwater supply protection areas, inventory of subsurface contaminant load, and the assessment and control of groundwater pollution hazards.VV Staff is the author of 'Proteccion de la Calidad Del Agua Subterranea' with ISBN 9788484761464 and ISBN 8484761460.
