Now in its second edition, Pollution of Lakes and Rivers provides essential insights into present-day water quality problems from an international perspective.
- Explains simply and effectively how lake sediments can be used to reconstruct pollution history
- Includes over 200 additional references and a new chapter on recent climatic change and its effects on water quality and quantity
- Tackles present-day water quality problems from an international perspective
- Previously published by Hodder Arnold
