Missing data is a ubiquitous problem that plagues many hydrometeorological datasets. Objective and robust spatial and temporal imputation methods are needed to estimate missing data and create error-free, gap-free, and chronologically continuous data. This book is a comprehensive guide and reference for basic and advanced interpolation and data-driven methods for imputing missing hydrometeorological data. The book provides detailed insights into different imputation methods, such as spatial and temporal interpolation, universal function approximation, and data mining-assisted imputation...

This book will provide an important source of practical information on the history of toxicology, the ways in which pollutants reach model organisms used in toxicology, sampling methods for research, mechanisms of toxicity and responses of aquatic organisms to toxic agents, as well as the use of therapeutic agents in current approaches. Determining the importance of environmentally friendly substances on antioxidant defense is an obvious area of future research.

The combined use of a biomarkers range that can indicate exposure to pollutants and measure their effects on living...

This book consists of the hydrogeochemical study of the springs of the Sicilian territory used for drinking water purposes. One of the most important issues in the environmental field is the protection of water resources and in particular the safeguarding of water intended for drinking water use. Water resources need a careful prevention of pollution starting from multidisciplinary studies (geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, geophysics) to understand the territory in order to highlight vulnerable areas and then plan, where necessary, monitoring activities for the control and protection...
