Résumé

This comprehensive textbook deals with all the essential topics in understanding and predicting contaminant patterns in soil, groundwater and surface water and provides a solid basis for adequate management and control of soil and water pollution and integrated catchment. Uniquely, this work treats water and soil pollution not as individual processes, but as integrated matter. The core of this geoscientific approach is formed by four coherent parts:

introduction to the basics of soil and water contamination
source, role, and behaviour of substances in soil and water
transport and fate of substances in soil and water
patterns of substances in soil and water.

Using many case studies, examples and exercises sections in every chapter (including solutions), Soil and Water Contamination provides undergraduate and graduate students in the earth and environmental sciences with all the material necessary to study soil and water contamination effectively. In addition, it can serve as a useful information source for professionals.
