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.
