It focuses on quantitative techniques for evaluating groundwater resources, including aquifer testing, flow equations, and water-level analysis. This classic text is essential for hydrogeology, focusing on developing and managing groundwater supplies.
To support preliminary engineering and feasibility studies for rural water supply in Central Java conducted by the Indonesian Department of Health in Cooperation with the World Health Organisation (WHO) investigations were made by the Directorate of Environmental Geology (DEG) supported by the German Hydrogeological Advisory Group with respect to the availability and accessibility of groundwater.
During the past century, and most par-ticularly in the decades following World War II there has been a tremendous ex-pansion of the impact of science on everyday life. Explanations of scientific phenomena, particularly those of catastrophic effect on society, are given at all levels of education, science dominates the news media, most households make use of products that are the result of appli…
Understanding the issues that have been encountered at other sites, and the steps that have led to successful resolution of these issues, can provide great help to those considering, planning, or implementing new groundwater recharge projects. Recent technical advances and operational experience have demonstrated that well recharge is a feasible and cost effective method of artificially recharg…
The purpose of this book is to bring together under one cover the principles of groundwater engineering. The concise format has produced a handy, comprehensive manual for professionals working in the groundwater industry. The author places emphasis on the application of theory and practical aspects of groundwater engineering. Well-cited references throughout the text guide you through the techn…
The book is based on the fundamentals of geotechnics and hydrology, but chapters about hydraulics, hydrogeology, pedology, hydrochemistry, meteorology and mathematical statistics are also included. The author has attempted to arrange the terminology and methodology of this many-sided field of engineering into a uniform system. In Part One, theoretical and methodological problems (classificat…
During the last few decades groundwater availability is facing increasing pressures. Water quality and quantity deterioration. physical changes of the aquifers, related problems of salt water encroachment, land subsidence, massive drop water table, and increasing pollution from the surface water has effect the groundwater resource. Problems related to law and regulations for extraction by urban…
This volume presents the contemporary issues surrounding groundwater pollution risk assessment and the application of vulnerability and risk assessment maps for the effective protection and management of aquifers. Numerous new and improved approaches to intrinsic and specific vulnerability assessment (modified DRASTIC, GOD, VULK, VURAAS) are described, some coupled with geophysical and hydrolog…
