Author Description
Following on from William Howarth's well regarded Water Pollution Law, this new book recognises that environmental law has moved swiftly on over the last decade from a preoccupation with the legal consequences of individual pollution incidents to a more purposive approach towards environmental protection. In relation to water, the key questions are about the quality of water to be met by rivers, bathing water, drinking water, etc. and the legal ramifications of a particular water failing to meet a defined standard. Water Pollution and Water Quality Law is a comprehensive study of the relevant national law and the international and European Community contexts in which this national law is placed. It provides an authoritative exposition and analysis of the law of the kind that is needed by an increasing body of legal, environmental and other practitioners who are involved in this area as part of their daily work.--BOOK JACKET.
