Assessment of Water Quality—Field Instrumentation

Instruments and systems developed at the Water Pollution Research Laboratory and elsewhere, for the continuous measurement of those parameters which are of most significance in water pollution research are discussed. Particular attention is given to instruments and systems which are also of value in...
