WaterDistributionSystemMonitoringA Practical Approachfor EvaluatingDrinking WaterQualityAbigail F. CantorProcess Research Solutions, Madison, Wisconsin, USA

A typical water distribution system is complex andchaotic with varying piping configurations, waterflows, chemical reactions, and microbiologicalactivity. It is therefore no surprise that monitoringwater quality can be a daunting task. And whileproactive monitoring costs money, having waterquality problems is even more costly. This bookdiscusses how common water quality issues canbe avoided by routinely monitoring key waterquality parameters in the distribution system in acontrolled and standardized manner. It provides apractical step-by-step approach and open-sourcetechnology for proactive water quality manage-ment. It describes a method for routinely moni-toring the water distribution system by assem-bling a standardized monitoring station, planninga monitoring strategy, and interpreting and usingthe water quality data.

Features

• Clears up confusion and misunderstandingsabout water quality issues, especially regard-ing lead and copper

• Delineates two important actions that everywater quality utility can adopt to quicklyimprove water quality

• Demonstrates how small water systems canachieve the quality control and processimprovements similar to the methods used inindustry

The book presents the information in workbookformat for ease of understanding and use as ahandy reference.

Building on this foundation, thesecond edition of Monitoring and Control ofMacrofouling Mollusks in Fresh WaterSystems includes completely revised informationon species such as the zebra mussel while alsocovering up-and-coming nuisance species such asthe quagga mussel, Conrad’s false mussel, theAsian clam, and the fast-spreading golden mus-sel.

The Second Edition includes:

• Ten new species of mussels and snails

• International case studies on mussel foulingproblems and how to cope with them

• New control and monitoring techniques

• Discussions of the latest threats and possiblefuture scenarios

While many other resources contain segments ofthis information, none cover all areas and linkthem in a cohesive fashion.

RapidBioassessmentof StreamHealthDuncan L. Hughes,James Gore, Michele P. Brossett, and John R. Olson

Tasked by the Clean Water Act to restore andmaintain the integrity of their waters, state andlocal governments must develop systems forassessing the health of the streams within theirborders. They quickly find that one size does notfit all when it comes to sampling. RapidBioassessment of Stream Health examines thesampling techniques, laboratory methods, anddata analysis necessary to create a protocol foranalyzing the health of streams, using rapidbioassessment techniques.

The editors explore how to determine referencestreams in each ecoregion and subecoregion withspecific indices of health. They provide field meth-ods for monitoring and sampling invertebratesand laboratory methods for subsampling. Thework focuses on the application of the EPA’s RapidBioassessment Protocol (RBP) but suggests vari-ous techniques that can be used to improve sam-pling protocols and quality control, where neces-sary. It also includes general listings of health clas-sifications, appendices of more than 300 streamsthat have been sampled, and a GIS method fordesignating the reference condition for purposesof comparison in each ecological unit.

A compendium of information about prioritizingthose streams and small rivers requiring analysis,this book contains guidelines on the assessmentof streams in a particular ecoregion and samplingstreams that are at least impaired as points ofcomparison. It supplies guidance for the produc-tion of other rapid bioassessment tools cus-tomized to various ecoregions and subecore-gions.Catalog no. 90917, January 2010, 369 pp.ISBN: 978-1-4200-9091-8, $129.95 / £82.00

Water Pollution


PerchlorateEnvironmentalProblems andSolutionsKathleen Sellers,William Alsop, Stephen R. Clough,Marilyn Hoyt, Barbara Pugh, Joseph Robb, andKatherine Weeks

The development of analytical methods for iden-tifying widespread perchlorate contaminationbrought about an explosion of research into theenvironmental problems and their potential solu-tions along with a corresponding increase in theavailability of information. Unlike reference worksthat focus on only a few aspects of this contami-nant, Perchlorate: Environmental Problemsand Solutions offers a comprehensive, singlesource of information on perchlorate contamina-tion in the environment. Summarizing the state ofthe science and developments in engineering, thebook describes:

• Common sources of perchlorate

• Its behavior in the environment

• Methods for analyzing perchlorate in envi-ronmental samples

• Potential risks to human health and the envi-ronment

• Regulatory standards and criteria

• Techniques for remediating environmentalcontamination

The authors illustrate these points with case stud-ies of perchlorate contamination in soil, ground-water, and surface water.

The book explains that successful ecosys-tem assessment and modeling requires three keycriteria:

• Large spatial scales in data collection andanalysis must be used to encompass majorwatershed features

• Landscape features are needed to appropri-ately characterize hydrological processes andecosystem components

• Management decisions must be linked toresults to facilitate ecosystem assessment

Through the study of the diverse watersheds fea-tured in Wetland and Water ResourceModeling Assessment, such as Poyang Lake,those working in government, academia, andindustry can obtain the innovative technical toolsneeded to stay on top of this active field.Catalog no. 64142, 2008, 312 pp.ISBN: 978-1-4200-6414-8, $104.95 / £66.99

“This nicely illustrated handbook is designed fora wide audience, from scientists to the generalpublic. ... Recommended.” —C. Leck, The State University of New Jersey, writing

in CHOICE

"… an excellent resource for the study of season-al pools, and pulls together information from adiverse variety of sources."

—John Elliot and Keith Goldfarb, in Northeastern Naturalist, Vol. 15, No. 3

"… includes a clear explanation of the science thatleads directly to the policy and management rec-ommendations presented in the book. For man-agers and policy makers in Northeastern NorthAmerica the volume will be quite valuable; thoseworking in temporary wetlands outside ofNortheastern North America may also find exam-ples and case studies applicable to their systems."

—Joel W. Snodgrass, Department of BiologicalSciences, Towson University, in Phyllomedusa, Vol. 6,

No. 2

"This book is a valuable resource in the identifica-tion and ecology of seasonal pools which supportmany amphibians, insects, and invertebrates...the most comprehensive work I have seen to date.It is well researched, carefully prepared and avaluable resource for conservationists."

—Jim O'Neill, in Can Field-Naturalist, Vol. 121

An important resource for conservation advo-cates, this volume presents recent information onthe isolated wetland, the most unique and at-riskwetland type in North America. Acknowledgingthe physical and biological connections betweenupland and aquatic systems, the authors providea landscape-scale approach to conservation that’sequally applicable to all isolated wetlands.Catalog no. 3675, 2008, 392 pp.ISBN: 978-0-8493-3675-1, $104.95 / £66.99




Wetlands Science

The FunctionalAssessment ofWetlandsTowards Evaluationof Ecosystem ServicesE. Maltby, U. Digby, and C. Baker“Finally we have a clearly written and wellorganized book that provides wetland scientistsand managers with an in-depth analysis of thehydrogeomorphic unit (HGMU) approach and itsapplication to wetland functional assessment. …This volume will be extremely valuable to landuse managers, geographers and wetland ecolo-gists looking for a rapid approach to assess wet-land ecosystem services on the landscape.”

—Professor Curtis J Richardson, Director Duke University Wetland Center

This book discusses the use of functional assess-ment procedures (FAPs) for predicting the func-tioning of a wetland without the need for com-prehensive and expensive empirical research. TheFAPs in this volume translate best available scien-tific knowledge into reasonable predictions ofhow component parts of wetlands function in dif-ferent landscape contexts. They can be used toindicate the potential and priorities for manage-ment options in such areas as flood control, pol-lution reduction, and biodiversity conservation.

The volume includes an electronic version of theFAPs on CD which automates aspects of theassessment once the initial recording stage iscompleted. It is anticipated that the FAPs will beused by a range of individuals or organizationsconcerned with wetland management who wishto gain a better understanding of the processes,functions, services or benefits, and potential ofthe wetlands for which they have responsibility.Catalog no.

FingerpondsManaging Nutrients& PrimaryProductivity ForEnhanced FishProduction in LakeVictoria’s WetlandsUgandaRose KaggwaUNESCO-IHE Institute for WaterEducation, Delft, The Netherlands

This study examines fingerponds in the LakeVictoria wetlands in Uganda. It discusses theimportance of organic manure applications inenhancing nutrient levels, phytoplankton, andperiphyton productivities and ultimately fish pro-duction. The study demonstrates that organicmanures enhance algal development and fishproduction, emphasizing that close monitoringand control are needed. It explores the enhance-ment of fish yields using animal manure, fer-mented green manure, and artificial substrates forperiphyton development, covers the good man-agement practices, and discusses the role of fin-gerponds in ameliorating food security forresource-poor communities.

The Dynamicsof ShorelineWetlands andSediments ofNorthern LakeVictoriaN.G.T. AzzaUNESCO-IHE Institute for WaterEducation, Delft, The Netherlands

This book presents evidence of the effects ofwind-induced waves and currents on the trans-port of surficial sediments. Paleolimnologicalreconstructions from bottom sediments con-firmed earlier assessments that climate changewas a co-driver of lake ecosystem change. It isargued that eutrophication could have led todestruction of a number of littoral plants speciesand has induced changes in fish populations. Catalog no.
