Biological monitoring of running waters is a scientifically and
economically valid approach for surveys and monitoring programmes
to assess the water quality. Biological Monitoring of Rivers
is a timely, up-to-date book that includes a good number of
practical how-to-do chapters.
* Up-to-date assessment of biological water monitoring
* Practical how-to-do chapters help the practitioner
* Provides a broad survey of methods uses inside and outside the
EU
