Opis

This volume provides useful insight on the differing approaches to water quality issues and the diversity of strategies in water quality management worldwide. This book is divided into two parts: The first part deals with aspects of water quality in various countries and several remedies are suggested. Also considered are theoretical and practical topics including policy and resource management. The second part discusses water as a world problem in both developed and developing countries. Aspects of the problem relating to seas, deserts, forests and freshwater are examined with reference to planning, development and environmental impact analysis.
