Introduction to Issues and Technology in Water Contaminants
About 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. Although the quantity of water on earth is vast, most of this does not fit for direct human consumption, particularly the saline water. The most accessible source of fresh water for human consumption is the surface water, including rivers and l...
