In response to these discoveries numerous legislative initiatives were enacted in most developed countries to limit the introduction of contaminants to the environment. It quickly became apparent, however, that not only was there a need to reduce the quantity of contaminants introduced to surface and subsurface waters, but previously contaminated resources had to be remediated to reduce the potential risks on human and ecosystem health. Effective remediation proved to be a difficult task that required an improved understanding of the transport and fate of contaminants in aquatic environments. This fact resulted in a wide range of analyses regarding contaminant transport and cycling in riverine environments during the past several decades. Nonetheless, in comparison to the enormous efforts which have been made to characterize, assess, and remediate contaminated soils and groundwater, contaminated rivers have received relatively little attention. This is in spite of the fact that polluted reaches may cover tens of kilometers of | 出版日期 | Textbook 2007 | 关键词 | Erosion; Sediment; fluvial; fluvial geomorphology; heavy metal pollution; hydrology; remediation; river res | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/1-4020-5602-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-017-7631-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-5602-4 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2007 |
