This book will provide a comprehensive discussion of groundwater
sustainability, including what it is, how its definition has
changed over time, why traditional assessments of it are wrong, how
assessments of it are ideally multidisciplinary efforts recognizing
that policy is more controlling of outcomes than science, and why
achieving it is difficult once pumping exceeds sustainable levels
of pumping. The book will provide a nontechnical background of
hydrogeology relevant to groundwater sustainability and present
several case studies from around the United States and the world.
The book has been designed to appeal to academics, students, and
practitioners. Academics, particularly those just getting into the
subject, will find the book a useful entry in terms of management
concepts and political realities of attempting to achieve
groundwater sustainability. It will also be useful to academics in
that the book will include discussions on the history and
development of groundwater sustainability and the practical aspects
of aspiring to and achieving sustainable production. Although not a
textbook, the book could be used as the basis for teaching a course
or as a supplement to a hydrogeology or groundwater management
class. Accordingly, the book will include questions and additional
reading materials at the end of each chapter. This book will also
be useful to practitioners through non-technical explanations of
the sciences, discussions of the nuances of defining sustainability
in aquifers, and the presentation of case studies where sustainable
management has failed and succeeded.
