Features

  • Explains the fundamentals of groundwater modeling, from the conceptual through the mathematical
  • Exposes the potential sources for error in groundwater sampling
  • Explores the growing presence and crippling effects of dense nonaqueous phase liquids
  • Summary

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sponsors constant publication of the latest soil and groundwater contamination studies. Editor J. Russell Boulding has compiled the most recent and the best of these documents in the EPA Environmental Assessment Sourcebook.
    This book is required reading for both the novice and the experienced environmental academic or technician. Boulding's selections address the basic concepts of contaminant behavior through the newest sampling techniques.
    The EPA Environmental Assessment Sourcebook is an essential and convenient tool for anyone on the cutting edge of contamination detection, monitoring, and hopefully, someday, prevention.
