Titelkurzbeschreibung

Increasing demand for water, higher standards of living, depletion of resources of acceptable quality, and excessive water pollution due to urban, agricultural, and industrial expansions have caused intense environmental, social, economic, and political predicaments. More frequent and severe floods and droughts have changed the resiliency and ability of water infrastructure systems to operate and provide services to the public. These concerns and issues have also changed the way we plan and manage our surface and groundwater resources.a Groundwater Hydrology: Engineering, Planning, and Management, Second Editiona presents a compilation of the state-of-the-art subjects and techniques in the education and practice of groundwater and describes them in a systematic and integrated fashion useful for undergraduate and graduate students and practitioners. This new edition features updated materials, computer codes, and case studies throughout.Features:Discusses groundwater hydrology, hydraulics, and basic laws of groundwater movementDescribes environmental water quality issues related to groundwater, aquifer restoration, and remediation techniques, as well as the impacts of climate change \Examines the details of groundwater modeling and simulation of conceptual modelsApplies systems analysis techniques in groundwater planning and managementDelineates the modeling and downscaling of climate change impacts on groundwater under the latest IPCC climate scenariosWritten for students as well as practicing water resource engineers, the book develops a system view of groundwater fundamentals and model-making techniques through the application of science, engineering, planning, and management principles. It discusses the classical issues in groundwater hydrology and hydraulics followed by coverage of water quality issues. It also introduces basic tools and decision-making techniques for future groundwater development activities, taking into account regional sustainability issues. The combined coverage of engineering and planning tools and techniques, as well as specific challenges for restoration and remediation of polluted aquifers sets this book apart. a
