Bøker i IAH - Selected Papers on Hydrogeology-serien

Sustainable groundwater development requires knowledge of the appropriate recharge and transport-processes. This is a prerequisite to understanding: (i) groundwater resources and their availability, and (ii) the dependence between groundwater and the environment. Conceptual understanding of groundwater flow at both temporal and spatial

This volume deals with the evolution in thought and practice in the area of fractured rock hydrogeology that was commonly ignored, but which has proven critical for water resources and geotechnical design in wide areas of the globe as well as for planning waste repositories. The key issues discussed in this volume will be: 1) the importance

This book contains contributions written by leading experts in karstology, karst hydrogeology and closely related fields. Achievements in karst research by three authors who have been awarded the annual prize of the IAH Karst Commission, are included. The main focus of this book is to learn about the&nbs

The incorporation of research into the solution of hydrogeological issues is critical to achieving the best possible solutions and this book discusses the following themes across a range of areas of hydrogeology:Managing Groundwater Resources; Groundwater and Resources Industries (both mining and hydrocarbons); Surfacewater - Grou

This volume contains 15 selected papers presented at 2 IAH conferences held in 2015 and in 2018. A very useful resource for hydrogeologists, environmentalists, land use planners, water managers, employees of companies from the environmental industry, regional and local environmental protection councils, and students.

Discusses integral groundwater management with scale flow issues and presents methods for defining, preventing, controlling, and mitigating negative environmental impacts related to groundwater. It highlights specific issues and stresses the importance of the sustainable development of groundwater and its social and economic implications.

Groundwater systems are vital to both society and the environment, supporting food production and many other ecosystem services. Sustainable management of this vital resource for future generations requires a sound understanding of how groundwater might respond to the inevitable changes in future climate. In this volume, recent developments within the interlinked areas of the response of groundwater systems to climate variability and climate change are highlighted, using contemporary field investigations and monitoring of aquifers, numerical simulations of aquifer response to climate change predictions and paleohydrogeological studies of ancient groundwater systems. The book provides an up-to-date description of the relationship between groundwater behaviour and ancient, historical, current and future climates for a range of diverse aquifer systems around the world.

A collection of papers from the International Association of Hydrogeologists, Dijon 2006, divided into six themes: large aquifers, resource assessment; large aquifers, water salinity and evolution; karstic and carbonate aquifer systems; geothermal aquifer systems; aquifer contamination studies and aquifer monitoring systems and management.

Comprising relevant material from a number of established sources, this book puts forward the statement 'groundwater is life' and embarks on an analysis of modern hydrogeology's impact on the development of human societies and poverty alleviation.

Highlights the developments within the interlinked areas of the response of groundwater systems to climate variability and climate change. This book provides a description of the relationship between groundwater behavior and ancient, historical, and future climates for various diverse aquifer systems around the world.

Sustainable groundwater development programme requires knowledge of the prevailing flow system, extending from local to regional scale. This book discusses integral groundwater management with scale flow issues and presents methods of defining, preventing, controlling and mitigating negative environmental impacts related to groundwater.

Designed to provide a consolidated and cross-disciplinary source of information and contemporary thinking on agricultural groundwater use and management in poverty-prone areas of Asia, this work relies on primary data collected by the authors in the course of a cross-coordinated and inter-disciplinary fieldwork exercise in this area.

Presents methodologies and indicators to reach a better understanding of biogeochemical processes as a basis for environmental models. This book is suitable for graduate students, researchers and professionals in government and public institutions, and for those interested in soil and groundwater contamination in various aspects.

Urban groundwater has emerged as one of the world's pressing issues. This book showcases the urban groundwater papers presented at the International Geological Congress held in Florence, Italy in 2004. Its topics range from the urban water balance and rising groundwater levels to groundwater contamination and the role of aquifer modelling.

This definitive text adopts a more clarified approach to groundwater development, looking in particular at the ecological, legal, institutional, economic and social challenges associated with intensive groundwater use and its impact on poverty.

Dealing with the problem of nitrate risk and behavior in groundwater, this volume includes twenty-seven papers selected from the Euromeeting of the International Association of Hydrogeologists "Nitrate in Groundwater in Europe" held in Wisla, Poland in 2002. The articles describing the case studies focus on groundwater in Europe.
