Since 2002, he has integrated the Water \u0026amp; Marine Unit of the EC Environment Directorate-General where is now responsible for the development of a new Groundwater Directive which will complement the existing water policy framework (in particular the WFD). He is part-time professor at the K.U.Leuven where he teaches \"water quality and treatment\" in an Interuniversity programme on Water Resources.   Developments in legislation to protect the aquatic environment, including surface waters, ground water, the coastal zone, and wetlands, make effective monitoring of water quality essential. Thus the development and validation of cost-effective technologies and methodologies that can be adopted widely for routine monitoring are needed. As well as the current methods used, the range of promising tools under development have the potential to be included in the ‘toolboxes’ of those charged with managing water quality.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume sets out to\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eexamine the range of technologies and methodologies, their properties and their applicability and potential contribution in monitoring programmes. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eillustrate by example, the utility of the monitoring tools for laboratory and field applications.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ebring together a wide range of monitoring tools —both those available, and some under development\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eprovide an assessment of the potential for underpinning environmental management and legislation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater Quality Measurements Series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis series provides comprehensive coverage of the analytical techniques used for the measurement of substances in water, from sampling through to laboratory analysis.
