"Approximately half the worlds population, is wholly or partly dependant on
groundwater. This resource is under threat due to over exploiatation or to
pollution. This book provides a valuable insight into the scientific issues and
technical problems associated with monitoring, modelling and forecasting groundwater
quality. Histories illustrate problems associated with inorganic and organic
chemiacals from agriculture, industry and waste disposal.... an extemely useful
contribution." Professor Ian Thornton,-Centre for environmental Technology,
Imperial College of Science, London.
