Description
Advances in Remediation Techniques for Polluted Soils and Groundwater focuses on the thematic areas for assessment, mitigation, and management of polluted sites. This book covers advances in modelling approaches, including Machine Learning (ML)/ Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications; GIS and remote sensing; sensors; impacts of climate change on geogenic contaminants; and socio-economic impacts in the poor rural and urban areas, which are lacking in a more comprehensive manner in the previous titles. This book encompasses updated information as well as future directions for researchers working in the field of management and remediation of polluted sites.- Introduces fate and transport of multi-pollutants under varying subsurface conditions- Details underlying mechanisms of biodegradation and biodetoxification of geogenic, industrial and emerging pollutants- Presents recent advances and challenges in assessment, water quality modeling, uncertainty, and water supply management- Provides authoritative contributions on the diverse aspects of management and remediation from leading experts around the world
