The Water Framework Directive: Ecological and Chemical Status Monitoring
| PUBLISHER | Wiley (12/01/2008) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Hardcover (Hardcover) |
- Deals with new EC legislation - the Water Framework Directive; the main driver within Europe for groundwater monitoring which addresses integrated water resource management across 27 different countries
- Provides comprehensive approach and guidance on the theoretical and practical aspects for implementing the directive
- Edited by EC representatives involved in the setting up of the framework, along with colleagues in various water institutions who have the task of implementing the legislation
- Part of the Water Quality Measurement Series
Within this comprehensive text the following sections are included and discussed:
- general monitoring aspects, including case studies concerning different aquatic environments
- analytical tools in support of WFD monitoring (including modelling).
- aspects of groundwater and sediment monitoring
- risk assessments linked to monitoring as well as data quality and reporting requirements
- The book concludes with discussions about the need for an operational science-policy mechanism and about current activities and perspectives in the context of EU RTD programmes
The Water Framework Directive - Ecological and Chemical Status Monitoring will prove useful to students, researches and professionals involved with environmental and health sciences, analytical chemistry (and related environment monitoring), as well as those working in water companies and water producing industries. In addition, it will be relevant to those in related research institutes, pollution control and environmental monitoring laboratories.
Water Quality Measurements Series
This series provides a comprehensive coverage of the analytical techniques used for the measurement of substances in water, from sampling through to laboratory analysis. The scope of the series encompasses topic issues including quality assurance, standard procedures, and the best practices in measuring water quality, from surface and drinking water to coastal and wastewater. The techniques are discussed in relating to current legislation and guidelines.
The series aims to offer workable answers to specific issues related to measurements of the water cycle quality using a comprehensive and scientifically sound approach.
