Barrier Systems for Waste Disposal Facilities

Informationen zum Autor John Booker served as Head of the School of Civil and Mining Engineering at the University of Sydney! and from 1990 he was Pro-Dean of the Faculty of Engineering. Zusammenfassung This book deals with the design of 'barrier systems' which separate waste from the surrrounding environment and which are intended to prevent contamination of both groundwater and surface waters.
