Contains papers originating at an October 1997 conference, "Applications of GIS, Remote Sensing, Geostatistics, and Solute Transport Modeling to the Assessment of Non-Point Source Pollution in the Vadose Zone." Papers focus on advanced information technologies and methodologies, such as global positioning, fuzzy logic, and remote sensing, and how these technologies can be used to expedite non-point source pollution assessment of the vadose zone. Societal considerations regarding public policy and assessing societal value are also addressed. Lacks a subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
