Water is the second most important essential material for human survival. Even though Earth is composed largely of water, fresh water comprises only 3% of the total water available to us. Of that, only 0.06% is easily accessible. To ensure sustainability of water that is safe for drinking, fish, wildlife, industry, irrigation, and recreation, it is critical to explore water quality in greater detail. Over the last 10 years, improved laboratory techniques have led to the discovery of microbial and viral contaminants, pharmaceuticals, and endocrine disruptors in our water that were not monitored previously. This book covers at length the following topics: water quality issue (natural and human-related), monitoring contaminants (including pharmaceutical and endocrine disruptors) and remediation of water contamination.
