Ecological Effects of Waste Water: Applied limnology and pollutant effects

This is a completely revised and updated edition of a work first published in 1980 in the USA and deals with the ecological effects of water pollution. It is the result of twenty years of teaching the subject to students from engineering, fisheries and other environmental science disciplines. The dynamics of lake systems and an assessment of eutrophication and its control is especially described and analysed. Covering such topics as over-enrichment with inorganic nutrients, heated effluents, organic matter and toxicants in streams as well as lake acidification, this book will be essential reading for all those interested in water quality.
