This volume describes the methods used in the surveillance of drinking water quality in the light of the special problems of small-community supplies, particularly in developing countries, and outlines the strategies necessary to ensure that surveillance is effective.
This guidebook, now thoroughly updated and revised in its second edition, gives comprehensive advice on the designing and setting up of monitoring programmes for the purpose of providing valid data for water quality assessments in all types of freshwater bodies. It is clearly and concisely written in order to provide the essential information for all agencies and individuals responsible for the water quality.
The quality of water, whether it is used for drinking, irrigation or recreational purposes, is significant for health in both developing and developed countries worldwide. This book is based on a programme of work undertaken by an international group of experts during 1999-2001. The aim was to develop a harmonised framework of effective and affordable guidelines and standards to improve the risk assessment and management of water-related microbial hazards. This book will be useful to all those concerned with issues relating to microbial water quality and health, including environmental and public health scientists, water scientists, policy makers and those responsible for developing standards and regulations.
The 4th edition of Pollution has been once again updated and expanded to reflect the changes that have taken place in recent years. It contains a new chapter on clean technologies and industrial ecology.
Selected Proceedings of the 1st International Specialised Conference on Water Quality and its Management, held in New Dehli, India, 2-6 March 1998. Water resources development should not only ensure water supply in the right quantity at the right time but also ensure that the water is of the right quality. While drinking water must meet stringent quality standards, water quality is also important for agricultural, industrial and other uses. Increasing pollution, urbanisation and industrialisation has lead to a growing threat to water quality in rivers and lakes. Groundwater quality can also be affected as a result of the use of agrochemicals, wastewater irrigation, and salinity and landfill leachate intrusion. Such problems are often most acute in developing countries where water is short to begin with. This was the subject matter of Water Quality and its Management. From over 200 original submissions, 67 were orally presented, many of direct and practical regional relevance. After peer review, a further selection was made, of high-quality papers of significant interest to the worldwide readership of Water Science & Technology. Twenty-four of these papers are included here, categorized into the six major sub-themes of the conference: Impact of Industry and Agriculture on Water Quality Surface Water Quality Management Groundwater Contamination Issues Drinking Water Quality Management Use of Low-quality Waters and Wastewaters Water Quality Improvement Methods, Techniques and Technologies
The World Water Development Report 2003 pointed out the extensive problem that: 'Sadly, the tragedy of the water crisis is not simply a result of lack of water but is, essentially, one of poor water governance.' Cross-sectional and historical intra-national and international comparisons have been recognized as a valuable method of study in different sectors of human life, including technologies and governance. Environmental History of Water fills this gap, with its main focus being on water and sanitation services and their evolution. Altogether 34 authors have written 30 chapters for this multidisciplinary book which divides into four chronological parts, from ancient cultures to the challenges of the 21st century, each with its introduction and conclusions written by the editors. The authors represent such disciplines as history of technology, history of public health, public policy, development studies, sociology, engineering and management sciences. This book emphasizes that the history of water and sanitation services is strongly linked to current water management and policy issues, as well as future implications. Geographically the book consists of local cases from all inhabited continents. The key penetrating themes of the book include especially population growth, health, water consumption, technological choices and governance. There is great need for general, long-term analysis at the global level. Lessons learned from earlier societies help us to understand the present crisis and challenges. This new book, Environmental History of Water, provides this analysis by studying these lessons.
