Description
Featuring the proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on The Modeling, Monitoring and Management of Environmental Problems (ENVIROSOFT), this book presents developments and practical implementations in the theoretical, numerical and applicable aspects of computer analysis, simulation, modelling, control and forecasting for environmental applications. Over 50 papers are included and these will be of interest to a wide range of specialists including environmental scientists, planners and administrators, program developers, regulators and industrialists. The following areas are highlighted: advances in environmental research; air pollution; environmental management and decision analysis; experimental and computational methods; health and pollution; surface and groundwater hydrology; and water and soil pollution.
