Suspended Matter in the Aquatic Environment

Suspended Matter in the Aquatic Environment by Doeke Eisma.

The purpose of this book is to give an introduction to the most important aspects of suspended matter in the aquatic environment: its origin and composition, the concentration distribution, transport and deposition, and the most important physical-chemical-bio­ logical process that affects suspended...
