Containing the latest research on the risks to groundwater over time, this book provides a scientific case for more sustainable landfill construction - over overwhelming implications for changes in waste management legislation as well as engineering practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExamining each of the main stages of landfill decomposition and using extensive real-scale testing, the book trades theory for pragmatism and shows just how vulnerable groundwater is to contamination from old 'dormant' landfills. It then provides a new method for measuring the extent to which the ingress and egress of water can be controlled in landfill and the associated risks of groundwater contamination. The authors also offer practical suggestions for developing more sustainable and affordable waste management projects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCoverage includes: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong-term real-scale tests of landfills\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReducing risks to groundwater from old landfills\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAerobic treatment of landfill\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAeration and excavation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProtection of drinking water\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGuidance on developing affordable water management projects\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on over 30 years' research, \u003cem\u003e Long-term Hazard to Drinking Water Resources from Landfills \u003c\/em\u003ewill be core reading for research institutes and advisory committees of national and international decision-makers (WHO; FAO; EU), national and international administrative bodies and consulting engineers in environmental medicine, water management, hydrogeology and water management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Spillmann,Timo Dorrie,Tamas Meggyes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0727735136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780727735133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Telford Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.30d","brand":"Peter Spillmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065050018047,"sku":"9780727735133","price":212.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b89aa77e-59a7-40b4-b455-3358f4838173.jpg?v=1768672808","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/long-term-hazard-to-drinking-water-peter-spillmann-9780727735133","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
