Water Pollution: Modelling, Measuring and Prediction

Water Pollution is a subject of growing concern in our industrial world. The environmental problems caused by the increase of pollutant loads dis­ charged into natural water systems have led the scientific community to pursue studies capable of relating the pollutant discharge with changes in the wa...
