About the Book

Pollution from industrial, agricultural and domestic sources is constantly reducing water quality world-wide. This, in turn, is leading to the serious degradation of ecosystems and constituting a direct threat to public health. A major scientific and technological effort is needed to achieve the sustainable management of water resources and this crucial challenge cannot be met without international and multidisciplinary co-operation between researchers. The highly successful International Conferences on Water Pollution provide an ideal forum for discussion between specialists working in a broad variety of fields, such as fluid mechanics, oceanography, hydrology, computer sciences, biology, chemistry, monitoring, and remote sensing. Featuring the proceedings of the fifth meeting in the series, this book contains contributions from many different countries and covers a multitude of topics and techniques.Papers are divided under the following headings: Wastewater Treatment and Sewage Systems; Mathematical and Physical Modelling; Modelling as a Management Tool; Saltwater Intrusion; Biological Effects; Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Modelling; Chemical and Nuclear Pollution; Pollution of Estuaries, Coastal Seas and Open Seas; Experimental and Laboratory Work; Lakes, Rivers and Channels; Heavy Metals; Groundwater and Aquifer Contamination; Organic Contaminants; and Oil Spills.

Table of Contents:

Section 12 - Groundwater and Aquifer Contamination: Electric current and potential variations during electrokinetic removal of heavy metal from aquifer; Two-phase model for transport and biodegradation in a saturated porous media; Pollution of Tehran groundwater; Mapping the water quality of the Puelchense subaquifer in Lujun (Argentina); Design implications of the distribution of pollutants in collection and storage systems used in small rural water supplies. Section 13 - Organic Contaminants: The aqueous chlorination of the structural fragments of humic matter; Permeameter desorption study on contaminated soils by organic compounds. Section 14 - Oil Spills: Estimating rates of oil spills in the Egyptian ports and application 537 of the technology of "windows-of-opportunity" in combating; Numerical simulation of hypothetical oil spills at the Casablanca Oil Platform, NW Mediterranean. Section 15 - Additional Papers: Experimental study of "periphyton-flow" interactions; Hydroecological modelling of the Garonne River (South-West of France); Potential use of expert systems and optimisation techniques in water resources planning.
