Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans, and groundwater caused by human activities, which can be harmful to organisms and plants which live in these water bodies. Although natural phenomena such as volcanoes, algae blooms, storms, and earthquakes also cause major changes in water quality and the ...
In 1980, Nagra, the Swiss National Cooperative for the Storage of Radioactive Waste, began a comprehensive field investigation programme to assess the feasibility and safety of a repository for the final disposal of high-level radioactive waste in northern Switzerland. An international team of scientists has carried out a comprehensive study on ...
As the concern over groundwater quality receives increasing attention worldwide, an international seminar on Pollution, Protection and Control of Groundwater was held in Brazil. Researchers from all over the world came together to exchange their experience and discuss methods of maintaining and improving groundwater quality. Their papers are ...
Significant transmission of infectious diseases by water may occur not only in developing regions and rural communities, but also in highly developed countries. These Proceedings illustrate the major public health importance of the microbiological quality of water in all parts of the world. An outstanding feature of this high-level Symposium was ...
Experts from all over the world attended this first international conference, and the 54 of those papers presented are published here in this volume. The topic which generated the most interest was nutrient removal, as engineers are working towards meeting new standards being developed in many countries.

Outstanding features of these proceedings include details on astonishing progress in new molecular techniques for research on the incidence and behaviour of health-related micro-organisms in water and related environments. For instance, new techniques based on the polymerase chain reaction now open doors for the detection of a wide variety of ...
In many locations around the world, wastewater facilities that diffuse into the sea are seen to be the best treatment option. However the successful implementation of this strategy requires an even better understanding of the underlying science and engineering. The 36 articles in these proceedings have been selected from those presented at a ...
The IAWPRC International Seminar on Industrial Residual Management was organized in response to the necessity to exchange information and stimulate dialogue on the issue of managing special wastes, particularly the treatment and disposal of hazardous solid wastes, incinerable liquid effluents and industrial sludges. 406 engineers, biologists, ...
