This compilation of previously published papers provides insight into the differing approaches to water quality issues and the diversity of strategies in water quality management worldwide. The book is divided into two parts; the first deals with aspects of water quality in various countries and suggests remedies for the inadequacies of the current situation. Theoretical and practical topics are considered, including policy and resource management. The second part looks to the future with an emphasis on water as a world problem in both developed and developing countries. Aspects of the problem relating to seas, deserts, forests and freshwater are examined with special reference to planning, development and environmental impact analysis.
