Overview

Since publication in 1991, the first edition of the Practical Handbook of Groundwater Monitoring has established itself as the environmental professional's standard reference on the topic of ground-water monitoring. The emphasis of the book is on the practical application of current technology, and the subject of ground water monitoring is covered in great detail, from the Federal regulations that require monitoring to the various direct and indirect methods of investigating the subsurface - to the analysis and interpretations of complex sets of water quality data. With the addition of the latest information available, this Second Edition provides the most comprehensive reference compiled on the topic of ground water monitoring.
