Description
Groundwater Hydrology of Water Resource Series
Water is an essential environmental resource and one that needs to be properly managed.
As the world places more emphasis on sustainable water supplies, the demand for expertise in hydrology and water resources continues
to increase. This series is intended for professional engineers, who seek a firm foundation in hydrology and an ability to apply this
knowledge to solve problems in water resource management. Future books in the series are: Groudwater Hydrology of Springs (2009), Groudwater
Hydrology of River Basins (2009), Groudwater Hydrology of Aquifers (2010), and Groudwater Hydrology of Wetlands (2010).
First utilized
as a primary source of drinking water in the ancient world, springs continue to supply many of the world's cities with water. In recent
years their long-term sustainability is under pressure due to an increased demand from groundwater users. Edited by two world-renowned
hydrologists, Groundwater Hydrology of Springs: Theory, Management, and Sustainability will provide civil and environmental engineers
with a comprehensive reference for managing and sustaining the water quality of Springs. With contributions from experts from around
the world, this book cover many of the world's largest springs, providing a unique global perspective on how engineers around the world
are utilizing engineering principles for coping with problems such as: mismanagement, overexploitation and their impacts both water quantity
and quality. The book will be divided into two parts: part one will explain the theory and principles of hydrology as they apply to Springs
while part two will provide a rare look into the engineering practices used to manage some of the most important Springs from around
the world.
