Geoenvironmental Engineering: Site Remediation,
Waste Containment, and Emerging Waste Management
Technologies, by Hari D. Sharma, Krishna R. Reddy
Editorial Reviews
From Book News, Inc.
Sharma, a consultant in geoenvironmental and geotechnical
engineering, and Reddy (civil and environmental engineering,
University of Illinois) outline environmental laws and regulations,
provide geochemical and geotechnical background, and explain
fundamentals of groundwater flow and contaminant transport in
this resource for students and professionals in environmental,
geotechnical, and civil engineering and for environmental regulators
and administrators at local, state, and federal levels. After chemical,
geochemical, and geotechnical background, the book examines
sources of contamination, risk assessment, and remediation
technologies, then presents information on the design and
evaluation of landfills and surface impoundments. Final chapters
describe emerging technologies such as beneficial uses of closed
landfills, recycling bioreactors, and in- situ capping of subaquatic
waste sediments. Example problems, cases, and questions are
included.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
