Opis

This book gives an understanding of the occurrence, fate, and transport of geogenic, microbial and anthropogenic contaminants in the groundwater. It covers not only the scientific and technical aspects but also environmental, legal, and policy aspects for contaminant management in the environment under the paradigm shift of COVID-19.
