Special Publication 128
The book presents a typically UK perspective on groundwater contamination, warts and all. It gives the international reader an opportunity to assess the standing of British contaminant hydrogeology in the world today. However, there are also international papers on organic contamination at industrial sites in the USA, mine water pollution from France and data, previously unavailable in English, from the major liquid radioactive waste disposal operation in Tomsk, Central Siberia. We hope that this is a worthwhile compilation which will enable both the experienced hydrogeologist and the interested scientist to discover how we have polluted, investigated and attempted to clean up humankind's most precious geological resource -groundwater.
