Features: Based on a concise introduction to the general characteristics of rivers in China and the features of sediment-rich rivers, this book provides a detailed explanation of the work procedures for pollution surveys in sediment-rich rivers, covering water quality, sediment quality, suspended sediment, and aquatic organisms, as well as the investigation content and analysis/evaluation methods for environmental factors such as natural, social, and pollution sources within the basin. Additionally, it introduces methods for data compilation, statistical analysis, processing, and quality control during the investigation and analysis process. The book aims to standardize the methods and approaches for pollution surveys in sediment-rich rivers, ensuring that the results better meet the needs of environmental management. It contributes to the formulation of environmental protection goals for sediment-rich rivers, water resource protection plans, and water pollution monitoring schemes, thereby better serving water resource protection efforts.
This book serves as a technical reference for conducting pollution surveys in sediment-rich rivers and is suitable for use by scientific and technical personnel, managers, and students and faculty from universities and colleges specializing in water resources and environmental protection.
