Reviews

"The book gives a well-ordered overview of the following sources: the hydrological factors governing the spread of the pollutants, the prominent role of human activities in generating them, measurement techniques, pollution control and management, with due attention given to the multidisciplinary needs of all those aspects. The book is thus a must for both scientists and public services involved in nonpoint pollution problems." -- Inderscience Enterprises, 2000
