Description: "Contributions are included from each continent providing a review of water quality problems worldwide, with articles describing present regional/local freshwater quality status and highlighting research needs. How the situation may develop into the future, given on-going changes in environment and society, is discussed. Questions addressed are: How to understand the behaviours of changing hydrological systems and impacts on freshwater quality? How to effectively bring together theoretical and experimental hydrology, and new measurement techniques to advance knowledge of water quality processes for the future? How can the typical timescales of change be identified? How to estimate and predict the behaviours and patterns of freshwater quality with uncertainty assessment to support risk evaluation?"--Provided by publisher.
Notes: "Proceedings of Symposium H04, organized by the International Commissions on Water Quality and on Continental Erosion of IAHS, and held in Gothenburg, Sweden 22-26 July 2013 during the joint assembly of IAHS, IASPO and IASPEI."
