Wastewater monitoring procedures are subject to many drawbacks due to the difficulties in accurately and frequently measuring the necessary variables, which essentially rely on ‘classical’ monitoring approaches involving sampling, storage and laboratory analysis. The only way to make progress in wastewater treatment, and hence to comply with related regulations, is to ensure that the plants are able to work with complete reliability. This implies that reliable monitoring of the wastewater quality and quantity and of the treatment efficiency should be performed for the characterisation of raw and treated wastewaters and for the control of the plant itself. This book reflects this awareness by summarising different views on wastewater treatment-related monitoring and control. It is composed of six different parts as follows: • The first part provides an overview of EU and US wastewater policies, standard methodologies, reference materials and discusses sampling assistance, biosensors and alternative methods. • Sewer quality control is examined in the second part, including considerations on sewage characterisation and evolution, flow measurements and monitoring in rural areas. • This is followed in the third and fourth parts, by chapters concerning urban wastewater treatment plant control and industrial wastewater treatment plant control. • Part Five discusses monitoring in the context of discharges and receiving medium, including water quality modelling. • Finally, socio-economic aspects are considered in the sixth part with a focus on data collection and merging, as well as training. This book has been written by experts in the field of wastewater treatment policy, control and monitoring. It provides an overview of the existing knowledge in wastewater monitoring and identifies emerging needs, which will be of direct interest to policy makers, water scientist and industry, and analytical control laboratories. Water Quality Measurement Series This series provides a comprehensive coverage of the analytical techniques used for the measurement of substances in water, from sampling through to laboratory analysis. The scope of the series encompasses topic issues including quality assurance, standard procedures, and the best practices in measuring water quality, from surface and drinking water to coastal and wastewater. The techniques will be discussed in relation to current legislation and guidelines. The series aims to offer workable answers to specific practical issues related to measurements of the water cycle quality, using a comprehensive and scientifically sound approach.

About the Book It is a well-known fact that the environment is continuously and consistently polluted by each passing day both by natural process and man-made sources. The natural processes include forest fires, natural organic or inorganic decays, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes etc. The man-made sources include rapid population explosion, deforestation and modern technology. In fact, rapid industrial and technological developments all over the world have resulted in release of poisonous matter (gases and other byproducts) into air, water and land. The manufacturing units engaged in the production of drugs, antibiotics, dyes and agrochemicals have added to the environmental pollution. Excessive use of agrochemicals has added to the problem of soil pollution. All these pollutants have hazardous effect on human health. Besides, some of the pollutants are also responsible for Global warming, Ozone layer depletion and Acid rain. In view of the hazardous effects of various pollutants, as a first step it is important to test the presence or absence of these pollutants and subsequently their estimation. This requires the use of highly sensitive and accurate but complex instruments. The present book deals with analysis of such pollutants in air, water and land. Air pollutants include the gaseous pollutants like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and solid pollutants like particulate matter, metallic pollutants etc. Besides, noise and radioactivity are other pollutants in the air. The water analysis include determination of water quality parameters, including total dissolved solids in water, determination of alkalinity and concentration of ammonia, nitrogen, soluble chloride, soluble sulphates and nitrates. The pH of water, its conductance, hardness, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) are other parameters which must be determined. Metallic pollutants in water include- trace elements, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, lead, selenium, beryllium, chromium, copper, iron. Other pollutants include fluoride, pesticides and radioactivity. Methods of estimation of all the water pollutants have been described. Soil analysis includes determination of its pH, conductance, amount of organic matter, available nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus, manganese, calcium, magnesium, iron, sodium, potassium, pesticides and water soluble cations and anions. Methods for the detection and estimation of all the pollutants in soil have been described. It is hoped that this book will be extremely helpful for all studying Environment. Contents 1.

This text features a comprehensive examination of water movement as well as the movement of various pollutants in the earth's subsurface. The authors also discuss the movement of fluids other than water in the subsurface such as oil, gasoline, and other liquids that may serve as sources of contamination. The multidisciplinary approach covers the topic from both a scientific and engineering perspective, integrating such fields as earth science, fluid mechanics, mathematics, statistics, and chemistry. Rather than focus on the physical systems themselves, this text takes a practical approach by stressing methodology. Readers are provided with a full discussion of the practices, procedures, and rules for dealing with groundwater. Among the important topics covered are: • Fluid and multi-fluid flow and transport • Water movement in geological formations • Analytical solutions for flow problems • Well hydraulics • Numerical solutions of the groundwater flow equation • Contamination of subsurface water and remediation • Groundwater and surface water interaction Figures, diagrams, charts, and tables are used liberally throughout the text to help readers visualize various procedures and subsurface structures. A summary is included at the end of each chapter to highlight key concepts. Problem sets at the end of each chapter give readers an opportunity to test their knowledge and practice their new skills. With its emphasis on methodology, this is an excellent reference to groundwater principles and practices for any scientist or engineer involved in the field. Moreover, the use of problem sets and the logical presentation of materials make this appropiate as an upper-level undergraduate and graduate textbook for courses in groundwater hydrology and hydrogeology.
