Summary
Summary
This book provides timely fundamental research on the impact of pollutants on water quality with a focus on the catastrophic releases of pollutants into water supplies. Twelve invited papers provide comprehensive description and analysis of the recognition, description and modeling of physical, chemical and biological processes governing the fate of pollutants in an aquatic environment.

Choice Review
This is a collection of 12 papers, each a highly technical discussion of some aspect of dispersion of pollutants in rivers. The papers discuss the recognition, description, and modeling of physical, chemical, and biological processes governing pollutants. They include proposition of a general three-dimensional model for velocity distribution in a river, theoretical prediction of dispersion coefficients in channels having complex shapes, the effect of channel meanders on solute transport, and exchange of solutes between the river and the sediment and groundwater. The authors are mostly academics; all are Europeans. Appropriate only for high-level graduate students and researchers. ^BSumming Up: Optional. Graduate students; faculty and researchers; professionals. D. A. Vaccari Stevens Institute of Technology
