Groundwater is sometimes called ‘the hidden asset’
– awareness of its existence and its importance is not well
known and as a consequence the measures which are required to
protect and manage it in an environmental sustainable way are
either not taken or are taken too late. Where pollution has
occurred and measures are taken too late it may take decades, or
longer, until the necessary restoration of quality is achieved.
This comprehensive text presents in the following sections:
* Groundwater monitoring in the regulatory and international
context
* Conceptual modelling and network design
* Groundwater pollutants and other pressures
* Groundwater quality standards and trend assessment
* Case studies for groundwater assessment and monitoring in the
light of EU legislation
* Groundwater measurements
* Associating external stakeholders
The editors have collected state-of-the-art information on
groundwater quality assessment monitoring from the international
community, providing further stimulation to the work of all parties
involved in the challenges this area creates to ensure sound
quality assessment of groundwater.
