The fresh water supplies of the Earth are finite and as the world's population continues to grow humanity's thirst for this water seems unquenchable. Intense pressure is being exerted upon freshwater resources and a lack of adequate clean water is seen as one of the most serious global problems for the 21st century. Indeed it has been said that the next war will be fought over water, not oil. Human health and the health of supporting ecosystems increasingly depends upon our ability to find, control, manage and understand water. In a single volume, The Encyclopedia of Hydrology and Water Resources provides the reader with a comprehensive overview and understanding of the diverse field of hydrology. The intimate inclusion of material on water resources emphasizes the practical applications of this field, applications which are indispensable in any modern approach to the subject. This volume is a vital reference for all hydrologists, hydrogeologists and water engineers worldwide, whether they are concerned with the exploitation of new sources of water, the protection and management of existing reserves, or the science of surface water and groundwater flow. 114 eminent scientists from 17 countries worldwide have contributed to this authoritative volume. Superbly illustrated throughout, it includes almost 300 entries on a range of key topics, including arid and semi-arid zones, climates and climate change, floods and droughts, desertification, entropy, flow measurement, groundwater, hydrological cycle, hydrological models, infiltration, karst hydrology, paleohydrology, precipitation, remote sensing, river pollution prevention, rivers, lakes and seas, satellite hydrology, soil erosion, water treatment, water use, weather radar, and world water balance

Love Canal. Exxon Valdez. Times Beach. Sacramento River Spill. Amoco Cadiz. Seveso. Every area of the world has been affected by improper waste disposal and chemical spills. Common hazardous waste sites include abandoned warehouses, manufacturing facilities, processing plants, and landfills. These sites poison the land and contaminate groundwater and drinking water.
A sequel to the bestselling Ecological Risk Assessment, Ecological Risk Assessment for Contaminated Sites focuses on how to perform ecological risk assessments for Superfund sites and locations contaminated by improper disposal of wastes, or chemical spills. It integrates the authors' extensive experience in assessing ecological risks at U.S. government sites with techniques and examples from assessments performed by others.
Conducting an ecological risk assessment on a contaminated site provides the information needed to make decisions concerning site remediation. The first rule of good risk assessment is "don't do anything stupid". With the practical preparation you get from Ecological Risk Assessment for Contaminated Sites you won't.

"The Encyclopedia of Hydrology and Water Resources will be a vital reference for all hydrologists, hydrogeologists and water engineers worldwide, whether they are concerned with the exploitation of new sources of water, the protection and management of existing reserves, or the science of surface water and groundwater flow." "Over 130 eminent scientists from over 21 countries worldwide have contributed to this authoritative volume. Superbly illustrated throughout, it includes over 300 entries on a range of key topics, including: arid and semi-arid zones, climates and climate change, floods and droughts, desertification, entropy, flow measurement, groundwater, hydrological cycle, hydrological models, infiltration, karst hydrology, palcohydrology, precipitation, remote sensing, river pollution prevention, rivers, lakes and seas, satellite hydrology, soil erosion, water treatment, water use, weather radar and world water balance."--BOOK JACKET Essential Environmental Science provides a non-quantitative approach that is based on principles, critical thinking and the big questions that are driving the field today. It offers a condensed look at the field, covering topics in way that will help readers answer the "big questions." It eliminates more detailed or advanced topics to make the material more accessible while also placing the focus on today's important issues. Of the 87 articles covering major aspects from across the spectrum of environmental science and engineering and presented by the editors (of New York City's Polytechnic U.), a number are new to this edition, while the remaining have been extensively revised and updated. The articles are intended to provide comprehensive overviews of their particula Contains 87 articles on topics ranging from acid rain and air pollution to environmental law, radioactive waste, and water treatment. This work features highly specialized areas as well as many other subjects that cross traditional boundaries, reflecting the interdisciplinary skills and knowledge required by the modern environmental researcher. Presenting techniques in a practical style, this book focuses on how to perform ecological risk assessments for Superfund sites and locations contaminated by improper disposal of wastes or chemical spills. Following the EPA framework, it covers ecological, environmental, risk, and impact assessments conducted at contaminated sites. Provides the reader with a comprehensive overview and understanding of the diverse field of hydrology. This volume emphasizes the practical applications of this field. It is a reference for various hydrologists, hydrogeologists and water engineers worldwide. Selected International Journals In Hydrology And Water Resources (p. [xx]-xxi) -- Units, Symbols And Conversion Factors (p. [xxii]-xxvii). Edited By Reginald W. Herschy And Rhodes W. Fairbridge. Includes Bibliographical References And Indexes. This book presents a conceptual approach and specific methods for assessing the ecological risks posed by contaminated sites.
