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 resiliency and ability 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, Second Edition 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. This new edition features updated materials,
computer codes, and case studies throughout. Features: Discusses
groundwater hydrology, hydraulics, and basic laws of groundwater
movement Describes environmental water quality issues related to
groundwater, aquifer restoration, and remediation techniques, as
well as the impacts of climate change \ Examines the details of
groundwater modeling and simulation of conceptual models Applies
systems analysis techniques in groundwater planning and management
Delineates the modeling and downscaling of climate change impacts
on groundwater under the latest IPCC climate scenarios Written for
students as well as practicing water resource engineers, 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. It also introduces basic tools and
decision-making techniques for future groundwater development
activities, taking into account regional sustainability issues. 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.
