This book examines the application of geotechniques to address a
wide range of issues facing urban water resources. Growing
populations leading to urbanization and related development have
lead to problems associated with water quality, storm water
management, flood control, environmental health, and related
ecosystem impacts. Major cities and other urban areas are facing
challenges in addressing the implications of impacts to water
resources. Recent innovations in geotechnologies, including
Geographic Information Science (GIS), remote sensing, and other
spatial tools and techniques, provide great opportunities and
potential to assist in dealing with these problems. This volume
provides a series of case studies that examine the application of
new methods and approaches in a range of geotechnologies as
utilized to better understand and resolve urban water resource
concerns in communities throughout the world. Computer based
mapping, spatial analysis, satellite imagery, decision support
systems, web based applications, aerial photography, and other
methods are highlighted by their development and application. The
research presented in this volume will provide for an excellent
source of knowledge and learning to assist professionals, experts,
and students with a better understanding of how the use of
geotechnologies can be used to assist urban communities to address
water resource challenges.
