This book deals with the central issues associated with swimming and bathing ponds – from the possibilities that such pools offer to the specific biology and hygiene. With this book, you’ll have not only an interesting guidebook in your hands, but also an aid to planning, constructing and maintaining such facilities – in other words, informative knowledge for planners, businesspeople and local authorities all in one technical book. In addition to a complete revision of the first edition, the present second edition contains chapters on new construction techniques for ‘beach-like’ entry areas, procedures for hygiene studies, based on new findings, more information on construction management and also an overview of further informative sources on constructing swimming ponds.
