Bøker i IAH - International Contributions to Hydrogeology-serien

This volume on the recharge of phreatic aquifiers in (semi-)arid areas includes coverage of: recharge principles, problems and developments; recharge from precopitation; recharge from intermittent flow; and recharge from permanent water bodies. Ca...

With water security being so crucial an issue in the twenty-first century, this text provides topical discussion on related issues, such as: hydrological processes, water resources management, and rainfall in arid and semi-arid regions.

Explaining the nature and value of urban groundwater, this text, written by a UNESCO/IAH group, includes a discussion of six urban environments ranging from mature industrial cities to weathered crystalline aquifers and arid-zone cities.

This volume of papers explores practical aspects of soil and surface water interactions with groundwater, including modelling of flow and contaminant transport in the unsaturated and saturated zones (paperback edition available to IAH members only).

The increasing pollution of the environment as deliberate or unintentional consequences of human activities has to a great extent spoiled sensitive karst ecosytems. This text examines such consequences and proposals for what can be done in the future.

Presents, in a simple, but scientifically rigorous manner, the consequences of natural processes to stable isotope concentrations and radioactivities, but also containing indications of possible applications without the pretension of a cookbook.

This work focuses on a problem-oriented approach to diagnosing well deterioration. It integrates concepts from hydrogeology, hydrochemistry and microbiology to give an understanding of water well deterioration processes.

The History of Hydrogeology, is a first attempt to bring the story of the evolution of the science of hydrogeology together from a country or region specific viewpoint. It does not cover history to the present day, nor does it deal with all countries involved in groundwater studies, but rather takes the story for specific key countries up and until

Groundwater response to global changes is a complex function that depends on climate change and variability, topography, aquifer characteristics, vegetation dynamics, and human activities. This book synthesizes the current state of knowledge, methodologies, and scientific approaches for assessing climate change effects on groundwater resources a
