Engineers and scientists working in this field must be familiar with a wide range of issues and, in view of the scarcity of available data, it is important that experiences are shared. This book, which features papers from the Seventh International Conference on Water Pollution, helps to bridge the gap. Topics discussed include: groundwater and aquifer contamination; wastewater treatment and re-use of water; lakes, rivers and wetlands; coastal areas and seas; biological effects; organic contaminants; agricultural pollution; oil spills; mathematical and physical modelling; experimental and laboratory work; surveying techniques, monitoring and remote sensing; remediation studies; and health, social and economic problems.

Committee Serial No. 91-2. Considers S. 7 and similar S. 544, to amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to provide Federal funds for waste treatment facility construction, to establish standards for vessel sewage discharge sanitation devices and for a program to clean up oil spills, and to provide for more strict Federal water pollution standards compliance.
