Abstract
The book addresses characteristics of the aquatic environment, insults in the aquatic environment perpetrated by man, controls for such insults, constraints on governmental actions, investigations of aquatic problems, reporting the investigate results, biological nuisances, health related aquatic problems, keys to common algae and rooted aquatic vegetation, and government abatement and control programs. Investigative techniques are described in detail for the pond, stream, and lake environments, and for special studies. It is designed for use in the curriculum for the upper grades in high school and college, but should also be of use to others who may have need to broaden their understanding of investigative techniques, and water quality and technical problems encountered in such studies.
