Ein Klassiker: Der praxisorientierte Leitfaden der Identifizierung und Evaluierung von Umweltgefahren durch Wasserverschmutzung wurde für diese Neuauflage erweitert und um aktuelle Entwicklungen (sowohl in der Hydrologie als auch in der Mathematik der Risikoanalyse) ergänzt. Der Autor berücksichtigt Grundwasser und Oberflächenwasser (Flüsse, Küstengewässer) gleichermaßen ausführlich und illustriert den Text mit mehreren Fallstudien und einer kritischen Analyse der verwendeten Methoden. Standards und Direktiven der UNESCO und EU werden auf dem neuesten Stand erläutert.
