Reihe: Water Quality Measurements

Groundwater is sometimes called "the hidden asset"- awareness of its existence and its importance is not wellknown and as a consequence the measures which are required toprotect and manage it in an environmental sustainable way areeither not taken or are taken too late. Where pollution hasoccurred and measures are taken too late it may take decades, orlonger, until the necessary restoration of quality is achieved.
This comprehensive text presents in the following sections:
* Groundwater monitoring in the regulatory and internationalcontext
* Conceptual modelling and network design
* Groundwater pollutants and other pressures
* Groundwater quality standards and trend assessment
* Case studies for groundwater assessment and monitoring in thelight of EU legislation
* Groundwater measurements
* Associating external stakeholders
The editors have collected state-of-the-art information ongroundwater quality assessment monitoring from the internationalcommunity, providing further stimulation to the work of all partiesinvolved in the challenges this area creates to ensure soundquality assessment of groundwater.
