Water Pollution: No. XIII C. A. Brebbia

Water Pollution XIII contains selected papers presented at the 13th International Conference in the series of Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Water Pollution. The conference, which has always been very successful, provided a forum for discussion amongst scientists, managers and academics from different areas of water contamination. Their papers provide a wealth of information that will be of great benefit to all those involved with water pollution problems. The environmental problems caused by the increase of pollutant loads discharged into natural water bodies require the formation of a framework for regulation and control. The results of these studies will allow industry to apply more efficient methods of controlling and treating waste loads, and allow water authorities to enforce appropriate regulations regarding this matter. Environmental problems are essentially interdisciplinary; engineers and scientists working in this field must be familiar with a wide range of issues. In view of the scarcity of available data, it is important that experiences are shared on an international basis. Thus, a continuous exchange of information between scientists from different countries is essential.
