Groundwater Treatment Technology
3. Edition February 2009

A key resource on groundwater remediation, thoroughly updated
and revised
The cleanup of groundwater is unique. Unlike every other type of
water, groundwater is not self-cleaning; we must clean the body of
water, the aquifer, itself. Evan Nyer's Groundwater Treatment
Technology has been the key to understanding the treatment of
groundwater contamination for professionals in environmental
engineering and treatment systems. Adapting to recent developments
in technology, regulations, and approaches for mitigating newly
monitored contaminants, this Third Edition updates and extends its
coverage, this time with a dedicated focus on aboveground
treatment.
Groundwater Treatment Technology, Third Edition provides a
complete review of current technologies for groundwater treatment.
It also explains the design techniques that are required to apply
those technologies successfully in a groundwater cleanup and
provides the reader with the unique design criteria and detailed
knowledge of these specific treatment methods. Given the current
prominence of aboveground treatment, the text limits the design
discussion to aboveground techniques, though it still discusses how
the various aboveground technologies interact with various in-situ
methods.
New to the Third Edition:
* A unique focus on aboveground treatment technologies
* Coverage of new treatment methods and regulations for arsenic,
radon, 1,4-dioxane, MTBE, perchlorate, and NDMA among others
* New material covering the operations of treatment systems
* Detailed strategies for remediation
* Specific data on treatment methods as applied in the field
Wide-ranging, authoritative, and completely updated, the Third
Edition of Groundwater Treatment Technology is essential reading
for wastewater engineers, industrial managers, hydrologists, soil
experts, government officials, and environmental lawyers who want
to keep abreast of the latest developments in this still
challenging field.
