Contaminated Rivers: A Geomorphological-Geochemical Approach to Site Assessment and Remediation

Contaminated Rivers: A Geomorphological-Geochemical Approach to Site Assessment and Remediation This book provides an introductory understanding of fluvial geomorphic principles and how these principles can be integrated with geochemical data to cost-effectively characterize, assess and remediate contaminated rivers. The book stresses the importance of needing to understand both geomorphic and geochemical processes. Thus, the overall presentation is first an analysis of physical and chemical processes and, second, a discussion of how an understanding of these processes can be applied to specific aspects of site assessment and remediation. Such analyses provide the basis for a realistic prediction of the kinds of environmental responses that might be expected, for example, during future changes in climate or land-use. Autor: Jerry R.
