This report was undertaken on local, regional, state and federal levels in the United States to analyse the impact residuals have on environmental quality and to emphasise the need for Residuals- Environmental quality management (REQM). Originally published in 1982, this study brings together information on approaches for analysing natural systems and which factors to consider when choosing an approach. This title will be of interest to students of environmental studies as well as professionals and policy makers.

"Incentives in Water Quality Management" explores the role of effluent charges in France and the Ruhr area of the federal republic of Germany by delving into both regulatory and economic systems that are utilised in the water quality management of these two areas. Originally published in 1981, these studies place an emphasis on the necessity of legislation in effective water quality management whilst attempting to create a complete picture of the water quality management systems in place in France and the Ruhr area. This title will be of interest to students of Environmental Studies.

Originally published in 1977, this title provides an overview of regional residuals-environmental quality management (REQM). Edited by Blair T. Bower, this volume offers insights on the analytical problems faced in developing useful information for societal decisions on REQM. It is a valuable resource for policy makers and students interested in environmental issues.

According to the laws of conservation of mass and energy, matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, all human activities result in some residuals. In this title, originally published in 1978, the authors describe the overall magnitude of the annual residuals problem and apply a residuals-environmental quality management (REQM) analysis specifically to the industrial development of the Ljubljana area in the former Yugoslavia. This title is ideal for students interested in environmental studies and international development issues.
