Informationen zum Autor David M. Nielsen Klappentext The first edition of this handbook quickly established itself as the standard reference on the topic of ground-water monitoring. The second edition! significantly revised and expanded! emphasizes the practical application of current technology. Environmental site characterization and ground-water monitoring are covered in great detail! from the Federal regulations that govern environmental investigations to the various methods of investigating and monitoring the subsurface and the analysis and interpretation of complex sets of environmental data. With the addition of the most up-to-date information available! this edition provides the most comprehensive and current reference ever compiled on the subject.
