Produktbeschreibung

What is involved in restoring a river? River Quality: Dynamics and Restoration answers this question through a series of articles and case studies written by some of the field's leading researchers and practitioners. The first part of the book covers the physical, chemical, and biological dynamics of a river system. The second part describes monitoring programs and remedial measures used to restore river systems. The Willamette River in Oregon and the Vistula River in Poland are used to provide excellent examples of the dynamic and restoration processes.
