The book "Hydrogeochemistry and Groundwater Pollution with Emphasis on Oil Pollution" written by Hamid Reza Nassery, a professor at the Faculty of Earth Sciences of Shahid Beheshti University (SBU) and Faezeh Falsafi, a master's graduate at SBU, has been published recently by SBU Press in 610 pages.
Quality assessment and management is an important issue in the comprehensive management of water resources. Therefore, knowing the main components and factors affecting the quality of water resources and interpreting them correctly help to realize the strategic policies of national water management. Many factors influence the quality of underground water, with their significance varying across different basins.
The present book can be considered one of the most efficient books in the interpretation of water quality data, which is written in thirteen chapters. After introducing some basic concepts and interpreting water chemistry data, the book deals with the relationship between various aspects of underground water geochemistry, the potential and sources of underground water pollution with an emphasis on oil pollutants, providing solutions to clean up all types of pollutants and finally introducing common and up-to-date methods of quantitative and qualitative study of underground water chemistry with numerous examples and cases from different regions of our country.
Due to the lack of a comprehensive and codified source in Persian language on the subject of underground water quality data analysis and interpretation, the authors have tried to make this book useful and efficient for students and experts in the fields of hydrogeology, hydrology, water resources, geology, civil engineering, water and environment, mining and watershed management, so that the audience will gain a basic, simple and practical understanding of the discussed concepts, and have a correct insight into the problem when implementing chemistry and groundwater quality projects, especially pollution projects, and using available software in this field.
