"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.
