It integrates research and professional practice from the fields of environmental geology, geochemistry, risk analysis, hydrology, and urban planning and offers knowledge on improving watershed management practices and urban development. It explains different aspects of urban land and water contamination; including sources, extents, and risks. The text includes case studies on successful and unsuccessful approaches to contaminant remediation, as well as practical methods for environmental risk assessment"-- ER -
