Books in the Water Quality Measurements series

Rapid Chemical and Biological Techniques for Water Monitoring presents in one volume the broad spectrum of monitoring tools, both available and under development, and provides an assessment of their potential for underpinning environmental management and legislation.

Drinking water policies and research are intimately linked. It is thanks to the scientific progress made over the last 25 years in identifying and controlling toxic products in drinking water that regulations have developed in such a way that the protection of public health from waterborne diseases has drastically improved.

Biological monitoring of running waters is a scientifically and economically valid approach for surveys and monitoring programmes to assess the water quality. Biological Monitoring of Rivers is a timely, up-to-date book that includes a good number of practical how-to-do chapters.

The Water Framework Directive imposes wide scale monitoring programs for all waters to achieve "good status" objectives by 2015.

The issue of water quality monitoring is becoming a huge area as the EU requirements for cleaner water increase. On-line monitoring involves measuring a body of water constantly and in-situ as opposed to analysing samples in the lab.

Describes methods in light of all of the European, US, and international (ISO) guidelines for QA of water analysis. This book tackles the problem of developing an international understanding for measurement and data collection. It gives an overview of: the purpose of water analysis; quality systems and quality control and others.

This book discusses methods of sampling, analytical determination and data interpretation of lake water in relation to the current legislation and guidelines. Topics covered in the book include essential limnology, e.g. , lake stratification, eutrophication, hazards associated with blue/green algae, acidification and liming.

This study focuses on the analytical aspects related to epidemiology, toxicology, sanitary, engineering and plant technology to provide an integrated and clear strategy for carrying surveillance, quality control and remedial measures.

Part of the Water Quality Measurement series, this text focuses on chemical marine monitoring, highlighting policy frameworks and analytical trends with an emphasis on laboratory methods and laboratory quality control.
