Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Of all freshwater in the U.S., "96 percent is groundwater." In 1984, OTA (Office of Technology Assessment) listed more than "200 contaminants known to occur in groundwater." Today the list is "over three times larger." This manual gives step-by-step guidance to concerned citizens on protecting groundwater resources; it brings together information from multiple federal agencies with responsibilities in this area and gives basic outline-guidance for more local operations. This book is important as the first comprehensive, lay guide to how groundwater works; the health problems associated with contamination; how to test and monitor water supplies; and how to take action as a citizen against polluters. Easy to understand and well documented, this is recommended for public and university libraries.
