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 ability and resiliency 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. Groundwater Hydrology: Engineering,
Planning, and Management 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. 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. The
authors delineate the process of analyzing data, identification,
and parameter estimation; tools and model-building techniques and
the conjunctive use of surface and groundwater techniques; aquifer
restoration, remediation, and monitoring techniques; and analysis
of risk. They touch on groundwater risk and disaster management and
then explore the impact of climate change on groundwater and
discuss the tools needed for analyzing future data realization and
downscaling large-scale low-resolution data to local watershed and
aquifer scales for impact studies. 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. It also introduces basic tools and techniques
for making decisions about and plannin
