Summary |
A Water Quality Assessment of the Former Soviet Union focuses on water quality issues using examples from around the former Soviet Union. It covers the background to the natural water resources and composition of surface and ground waters in the former Soviet Union, and then proceeds to examine the influence of human activity on those resources and water quality systems. A Water Quality Assessment of the Former Soviet Union is a valuable source of up-to-date information and case studies for professionals in government, national and international organisations, and water utilities. It will be a useful reference in research institutes and university libraries |
