- discuss national and EG legislations governing the use of barriers for some important cases. |
| CONTENTS |
| The course contains theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical parts on controls of transfers and transformations will be presented by bringing in cases such as landfills, mining waste deposits, contaminated soils and sediments, water supply, etc. The legislation of given the dimensioning values for some of the cases will be included.
