The book reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the water pollution field, where engineers and scientists must be familiar with a wide range of issues, including the physical processes of mixing and dilution, chemical and biological processes, mathematical modeling, data acquisition, and measurement. Some specific areas examined include hydrochemical evaluation of water quality in Brazil, washoff modeling of total suspended particles in urban areas, oil spill oil spill: see water pollution. boom modeling by the finite-element method, and thermal degradation of organic pollutants pollutants see environmental pollution. in sewage sludge.
