"Pollution is another major threat which has left many springs degraded or unusable, with major negative consequences for water supply, human health, environmental and cultural values. In a world with new and emerging pressures created by changing climate and ever-increasing demands to develop water and land for economic activities, the threat of pollution and degradation of springs is likely to intensify in coming years. Carefully developed management plans that are informed by: a high-quality scientific data collection programs; b extensive community consultation and participation and c effective policy and governance mechanisms will be needed to safeguard the immense value of the world's springs and protect their incalculable values. This volume will examine a series of case studies which document the major water quality threats affecting spring systems from around the globe in diverse hydrological, geological and social settings. These case studies examine pollution mechanisms, pathways and processes and explore protection and remediation strategies, based on the authors' data, research and knowledge of these settings.
