Items related to Water Pollution: Modelling, Measuring and Prediction
Synopsis
Water Pollution is a subject of growing concern in our industrial world. The environmental problems caused by the increase of pollutant loads dis charged into natural water systems have led the scientific community to pursue studies capable of relating the pollutant discharge with changes in the water quality. The results of these studies are permitting industries to employ more efficient methods of controlling and treating the waste loads, and water authorities to enforce more strict legislation regarding this matter. The present book contains edited versions of the papers presented at the First International Conference on Water Pollution (Modelling, Measuring and Prediction), held in Southampton, England, in September 1991. Its contents, which reflect the interdisciplinarity of the subject, are divided into four parts, each consisting of a keynote address and several invited and contributed papers: 1. Mathematical models (Keynote speaker: Prof. R.A. Falconer, Univer sity of Bradford, USA) 2. Data acquisition/monitoring/measurement (Keynote speaker: Dr. A. Plata Bedmar, IAEA, Austria) 3. Waste disposal and wastewater treatment (Keynote speaker: Prof. D.R.F. Harleman, MIT, USA) 4. Chemical and biological problems (Keynote speaker: Dr. E.I. Hamil ton, Environmental consultant, UK) Although the papers have been typographically edited they have been re produced directly from material submitted by the authors, and their content is a reflection of the authors' research and opinion.

About the Author
This book contains the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Water Pollution Modelling, Measuring and Prediction, which was held in Porto Carras, Greece, April 25-28, 1995.
Environmental problems are essentially interdisciplinary. Engineers and
scientists working in this field must be familiar with a wide range of issues
including the physical processes of mixing and dilution, chemical and
biological processes, mathematical and computational modelling, and data
acquisition and measurement.
The conference was organized to promote interaction between scientists,
academics, industrialists, and water authorities of different countries. The
wealth of information exchanged in such an international conference is of
benefit to all involved with water pollution problems.
